For good reason. No evidence for astrology. However, creationists seem to think there is evidence for their position (but not actually providing any...), and are hell-bent on distorting current thinking on evolution. This has to be counter-acted. That's where the debates arise from.

Ebon Musings: What Good is Half a Wing?
There is no such thing as half a wing or half an eye. Here's a quote from the above source:
"...using evolution's method, a "half-built" eye is good for vision. As seen in the above example, the key is to think of a "half-built" eye not as...
Yep, got the wing-stuff too. Plus loads more in my vision:

Do you feel I was taking the story out of context? If so, how does the story relate to the wider scope of what god is trying to tell us via the bible? What was the story of Job really about?
I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to death, per se. I feel I still have a lot to do and see, but when it comes, I won't be in a position to argue, I suppose.
well, spookily enough, I prayed really, really hard for a vision of the missile, then I checked on Wiki and, to my amazement, it was just as I had visualised it: long, pointy and everything! Here's a link to prove its long-ness and pointy-ness:

I'm inclined to think along the same lines. Although an atheist, I'll challenge those who think of the Judeo-Christian god as a 'loving god' and assume, for the moment, that the god is real.
In Genesis 6, god ordained a global flood that wiped out not just humans, but all of life apart from a...
OK, I've never seen this missile either but, off the top of my head, I would guess it's a long, pointy missile-shaped thing that can fly through the air and detonate on impact. I've not seen it, so how do I know this? Is it via some supernatural communication, or is it because I know what a...
Regarding not imagining something that doesn't exist, I don't think this is the case. Novels and films make plenty of money out of imagining things that we know don't exist. The brain is adept at creating scenarios that are not true to life.
Regarding seeing dead people that we've never met in...
Welcome, Ulo-ah. The nearest you'll get here to discussing earth-based religions is in the 'Neopagan or Revival Religions DIR' section.
I don't think an area has been set up for specifically Nature-based paths or 'green' spirituality- although I think there should be.
Are they available online? It would be interesting to have a look at these. Even if you could scan just a couple of pages on here would be great - it would give us something that we could all have access to and discuss. Thanks.
