VenomFangX did respond in text (yeah, a video would have been nice...):

"If I thought I was wrong, I wouldn't believe what I believe. Might I be wrong, sure, I just doubt it; as much as you doubt that I am right."


--------------------------------




I am an atheist. I do not have a belief in a god or gods.

I accept the theory of evolution because the evidence available to me indicates that it is an accurate representation of reality.

I defend the theory of evolution with passion and zeal because I think it is true.

I do not believe in the existence of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Satan, angels, or demons - because I do not see enough evidence to support the claim that they DO exist.

As strong as my belief in evolution is, and as strong as my LACK of a belief in the supernatural is, I openly admit that I DO NOT know everything about everything.

To be open minded is to admit and accept the possibility that you might be wrong.

It is completely possible that sometime in the future, I'm going to stumble upon proof that God created the cosmos less than ten-thousand years ago, and that our genetic heritage began with Adam and Eve.

I seriously doubt it, but I accept the possibility that I might be wrong. If I were presented with evidence that conclusively disproved some of my beliefs, or affirmed that which I do not believe in, I would change my mind instantly, and rejoice in the fact that I have grown one step closer to understanding this wonderful thing called existence.

To paraphrase Sam Harris - if you hold to the position that 'Nothing you say can change my mind', what you are really saying is 'I am not taking reality into account when making my decisions'.

I've had a lot of people tell me that I'm wasting my time trying to 'get through to you', VenomFangX. My question for you is simple - do you accept the POSSIBILITY that you MIGHT be wrong?

I dont intend to start a discussion orsomthing just flying tru, you said that u dont believe in angels etc because ur skeptic right? But have u seen any fossils or creatures that point to Evolution theory? If so, I would like to see them.

Thanks

Nobody DENIES design, they deny intelligent design.

Genetic mistakes are perfectly explaind by evolution, siamese twins, cancer, bacteria, we USE evolution in medicine now, nothing contradicts it everything supports it. I know it would have been awfully tempting in the bronze age for people who don't know anything to make false conclusions, but you have no excuse today.

[FloydMe81]

Well said Rabidape!

[petion2010]

This guy, VenonFangX, is not interested in honest discussion. He is intellectually dishonest.

[nosajj12345]

Very well said, my friend!

But perhaps you should listen to those who told you debating VenomFangX is a waste of time. Getting through to your average moderate Christian is a monumental task in itself, but a deluded fruit loop like Venom.....forget dude!!

@transtlantic Hydrogen only does what it is ordered to do.

No, Oxygen is a derivative of hydrogen. You have it backwards.

Technology is designed. The technology utilized in life forms is something we don't even fully understand yet.

Life forms are ordered by a preexisting word written in and with the function of most of the most common elements on earth and in the universe. It is observable and the observable function in life forms requires a Maker.

[transtlantic]

@JungleJargon

Hydrogen don't have a supernatural function. actually the FACT that hydrogen has NO maker and moves on it's own, is proof that makers don't exist.

Hydrogen is a derivative of Oxygen, according to your own flawed logic. proving your contradictions.

ALL functions in nature don't have a maker.

inanimated technology is not biology. simple notion.

order? Laws of Thermodynamics: ALL things tend to disorder.

as all kids know.

[JungleJargon]

Here is the proof. There is an all knowing, all powerful, eternal Maker of all matter in the universe.

The function that hydrogen has inside of life forms along with most of the most common derivatives of hydrogen are working together in life forms according to what a preexisting word orders them to do. All lesser functions have a maker and no lesser function is nearly as technologically advanced or comparable to the functions in life forms. Things work when made & ordered.
