@thejewishagnostic thats a gret point you made, unfortunatly i dont know how to respond to that statement, if this were a debate i would suppose you would of won. although your an agnostic atheist, im wishing you a happy Hanukkah.

@thejewishagnostic i consider the whole scheme of evolution, animals evolving, the ones that can adapt to constantly changing ecosystems, and unpredictable physical changes, random. and thoses single celled organisms are simple, not evolved (as far as i know). they couldnt evolve because of the moons lifeless ecosystem, which shows the importance of the earths place in the solars system.

@thejewishagnostic

i dont think that life could develop in many other places in the universe, i look at planets like pluto (if you consider it to be a planet) where its so far off from any sun that its a pretty much a giant iceburg. but there are newly discovered planets with similar enviroments to earth where life could evolve. but i think that the miracle of evolution, a process that equiped us with advanced emotions, is far to random.

@thejewishagnostic

the earth lies in the perfect point for life to evolve, evolution took up to millions and billions of years, until homosapien was almost perfectly created with an intellegent mind and physical and emotional capabilities... to think of all the things that evolution could of lead us to, we are here, so i think that there MIGHT of been a divine play in the creation of human beings, but i cant proove that such a being exists.. why are you an agnostic?

@GayTempest im an agnostic-theist, no longer a christian. what do you expect as a response from that? justify urban terrorism? militant theists are not good examples in any debate, do to the fact that THEY ARE FUCKING NUTS!!!!

@TheFarmerboyproducti Be glad that "militant" atheists are as they are, rather than like the militant Christians a la Jesus Camp and bombing abortion clinics or militant Muslims who fly planes into buildings. All militant atheists do is mock and argue. Oh the humanity! You poor Christians must be devastated by the constant tongue-lashings from atheists! I heard a prayer group died of despair last week after a the verbal onslaught of a Christopher Hitchens video. The casualities just keep coming!

@theunsanereaper you think most christians are stupid and your the intolerant one. your not a philosopher, not a debater, i cant even believe that i waisted my time with you

[theunsanereaper]

@TheFarmerboyproducti I never said that I respect others oppinions, you need to read my comments properly. I think that Christians belief are stupid and silly. There you go.
