you have the right to have your own opinions as long as everyone else has the right to ridicule them for being ridiculous.

WRONG, evolution does explain this, please look up Altruism in animals, Evolution of morality, and Evolutionary ethics. Again just another creationist who hasn't read the basic facts.

I actually came here after trying to watch her bullshit, disinformation on Einstein. I thought it was going to be a real discussion on him and "Spinoza's god" because I'd never seen her before. Ten minutes in I had to turn it off because if the amount of gibberish, lies and outright fiction that this horrid cunt was spewing, all over the memory of a genius who affected all of our lives in ways people tend to not realize.

What a surprise that she's trying to hide her support for creationism.

frankly religon isnt the problem its some influencial people that follow it that's the problem i have no problem with religous people until they deny proven facts and teach there bullshit in schools to very suseptable young chrildren who then believe what they were told and so the idea spreads its a terrible flaw in human society how people believe the most retarded bullshit ever said and plus every religous organisation except a small few are total hyporcrites just look at the chatolic church

@cypeapplejuice Incorrect. In Tacitus' Annales 15:44 the word is spelled Christus, not Cherestus. Get your facts straight.

I FEEL SOOO MUCH DUMBER AFTER WATCHING THIS HOW THE FUCK DID DARWIN N GALLILEO WANT TO GET IN THE MIND OF GOD THAT LADY IS JUST PULLIN SHIT OUT HER ASS ATHEISM ALL THE WAY!!!!

[cypeapplejuice]

@GsliMaIiy The bible is not a reliable source as it doesn't corroborate historically on many key points, it also makes flat out incorrect descriptions of creation and the structure of the universe universe. Tacitus doesn't specifically mention Jesus, just Cherestus: some guy alive around 50AD. Celsus calls Jesus a trickster, and he wrote in the second century. Lucian, again 2nd Cent. mocks Jesus. No eyewitness of Jesus enscribed anything, desipte his sacking a temple, come off it!

That's the problem in the U.S, instead of speaking about real issues like global marming or clean energy they still waisting time and money to debade about the 6000 years old earth and Adam and Eve......no wonder why they are loosing the scientific race againts modern nations!!!

@elchafa (cont.)

Religious people need to understand that science is objective, therefore it is not EVER going to say "This is true because someone said so and wrote a book about it." without any objective and empirical proof; instead, science will test that "truth" and see if it withstands the tests of fallibility, because ask yourselves, if it is indeed TRUE, should it not pass EVERY test of fallibility?

[elchafa]

It would be naïve to think that if God exists then evolution is impossible. If God exists and is all-powerful, then he might be smart enough to create things that can evolve and improve with time.

[IceBlood888]

@kriztufer2001 Yep especially a belief that nothing created the world. There are two beliefs, either nothing or something created the world. (The other beliefs are a minority)

[b991228]

Religions look to the gaps that science can't answer and say that is where God lives. With our modern culture the gaps are shrinking but they felt that at least the creation was the last huge "gap" where God could safely live. Now with Darwin they feel that even the creation is in danger.
