Sadly, some people actually believe the world is less than 10,000 years old. These are creationists.

Wouldn't a worldview of reason and evidence over superstition and dogma be better? We want to make sense of observations that don't rely on religious texts and the myriad interpretations they engender. This video shows how science, once allowed to prosper, bears a fruit of understanding with incredible power to explain and understand our surroundings.

In America, over half of the population is ignorant to an incredible array of evidence supporting evolution and other scientific facts. Denying it is just as ridiculous as denying the holocaust or other well-recorded historical facts. Such denial is a travesty, robbing society of truth. Religion dupes its blind-faith followers into accepting dogma for which there is no evidence. If only such believers would require the same standard of evidence they do for most other parts of their lives.

All we ask is that people look at their faith and ask "does it add up?" Does prayer work as advertised? Do verifiable miracles happen? What really is the evidence for evolution and an old earth? Why does a loving God sentence the vast majority of humanity to eternal hell while being so coy about his very existence? And many other questions. If it doesn't add up, you should be asking yourself why.

We might only be able to be agnostic about God, but we can be atheistis regarding God as described by most modern religions which make quite falsifiable claims.

Use your brain and ask yourself "does it add up?" If you find, under any amount of evidenciary scrutiny, that it does not add up, you must look around: you'll be amazed at what you find.

@ApocalypseNow012

Now there's one of the best arguments I've ever heard for society to work hard at eliminating the influence of religion and the religious.

I'll bet there are muslims that would love to "burn you" as well. Would you like to live in an Islamic Theocracy?

Pay no attention to Apocalypse12yearold

He just a rebellious kid lashing out at the world, what he needs is to be loved, he was never love as a child. so he taking it out on the wolrd. So Please love your Kids!!!

Atheism versus theism: See the concept of entropy. If you truly want to be secure in your belief in the lack of a creation/ creator, then you will surely find the scientific argument based on entropy intriguing.

We all have to make a leap of faith at some point, theists and atheists alike, because at some point you must either have faith in a theory, a scientist, or some alternative. We all have faith when it comes to any belief system.

correct

i made it up

wont happen again

@h2omanz

Then it seems you have no idea what the definition of communism is.

[h2omanz]

Communism is a materialistic and militantly atheistic ideology created to justify the overthrow of Capitalism

and i wasnt blaming atheists, communists, religious for anything

was saying man is to blame for all evils

clear...lol?

-respect

[TheHarperad]

@h2omanz

Communism has nothing to do with atheism. It makes the same sense as saying that vegetarianism=nazism. Hitler was a vegetarian after all. Read what the communist statements are. To be an atheist means only 1 thing: there is not god. The conflict between communists & religions had one simple reason: the struggle for control over society. Before television the churches worked as information centres, and in order to take control over the society, the communists had to face that. Clear?

2) as for evolution.....

Mathematicians generally agree that, statistically, any odds beyond 1 in 10 to the 50th (1:1050) have a zero probability of ever happening and the odds are more like 1 in a chance of 10 to the 40,000th thats a 1 with 40,000 zeros after it

eg. of the chance is like a tornado moving thru a junkyard and assembling a 747

-evolution is religion disguised as science

[h2omanz]

1) i know all about the redshift thru electromagnetic radiation.

i can say that the big bang is more theory than proof.

if bb occurred there is no way for "order"

out of 1000 trillion stars, never has a birth of a star been seen.

[Xichmale]

h20manz we have "seen" the big bang to some extent since we have observed the cosmic background radiation released from the very early stages of our universe you can even see what the early universe looked like yourself just look up Cosmic background radiation or look at some of the images captured by the Hubble telescope showing early galaxies millions of light years away . Other than that there is the red shift of almost all stars suggesting an expanding universe. As well as other evidence.

[h2omanz]

people kill people not God or religion

just because Koresh holds the record, is not the reason to blame religion but rather a crazy deluted human that used religion as lie

[arizonaviking]

Do you know about David Koresh, Jim Jones, Solar Temple to name a few.

Jim Jones alone is the largest murder suicde in modern history ,over 800 Men

woman and children die by the hand and? word of a man of god,

David Koresh. 54 adults and 21 children.

He call himself the final prophet.

"I am more willing to come out when I get my message from my commander" Last public words of Koresh
