I'm a spiritual person but I seriously hate when religious trolls come out preaching. Seriously, what are you trying to prove? And also, the bible was never meant to be taken literally. We have to take into account the truths we ourselves have found on our own. You seriously can't believe the world was created in a week can you?

Nice way of proving your point, (not that you had any) by insulting others because you lack the mental capacity to discuss the topic at hand and have to resort to insults.

At least Im a happy person, and don't need a placebo effect with religion to have a purpose in life.

Take care.

All this religious bickering grieves me. As a Christian, I wish others who claim that belief system were secure enough in their faith that they would not need to belittle those who disagree with them. And on the other side, atheists too often defend their position with a zeal akin to that of religious extremism. Personal attacks and temper tantrums solve nothing.

Religion is a self-correcting process also.

@Doctorlg Try taking a Biology class outside of high school and then we can talk. Then again, I'm sure you know better than the mounds of research. Of course it isn't absolute, science is a self-correcting process and things change all the time. Einstein's relativity isn't absolute either. That doesn't mean that the underlying principle doesn't exist. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go pray to Richard Dawkins or whomever we worship in our "religion of science." lol.

@meltingcastle

It's a religion of science. It's not fact and nor absolute. There's no proof.

[meltingcastle]

@Doctorlg *eye roll* If you think that, you don't know what a religion is. Go look it up.

I wonder how creationist morons ever learned how to use a computer..? Digital logic is a as much a part of a science as is biology.

[Doctorlg]

Evolution is a religion also.

[LoryLandskipper]

Religious morons need to understand that evolution actually strengthens the theory of intelligent design. Life is one of the most adaptive and complex mechanisms of the cosmos, and I personally think it's hard to justify that it happened by accident. Why fight that? Embrace it if you're pushing for ID perspective.

Oh, but no, a bunch of people in robes thousands of years ago knew exactly what the universe and everything in it was. Better to take their writings literally

Science will win.
