    The first people...

    I completely agree with you, didn't mean to make it seem like the biblical Adam and Eve are related to this "adam" and "eve" in any way. This is why I alluded to Wikipedia in the first place. These ancestors are named "eve' and "adam" simply because they remind us of the popular bible...

    Does TV Dumb People Down?

    Oh I almost forgot... The awesomeness of TV ended when good ole' Kevin Sorbo left HERCULES. ps- it was not at all brought back by his role in ANDROMEDA. lmao

    Does TV Dumb People Down?

    I think it depends on what you watch, but also how you watch it. You can watch the discovery channel for instance and still take in some crap, so you have to be critical of some stuff. I find the history channel to be a decent one too, almost all of it is derived from actual historians and...

    The first people...

    The idea of there being an Adam and an Eve, two original humans, is not absent from evolutionary theory. Geneticists have used mitochondrial DNA to trace back the human line to one single female, who they dub mitochondrial eve. Basically this woman's lineage has outlasted all others and so...

    prove me wrong on evolution

    Who do you want to test you? The theists and/or creationists or the atheists and evolution experts? I don't think the creationists will dare challenge you (as they barely know what evolution is), and the atheists are just going to shun you sarcastically. If you want to show off your evolution...

    Do you hate God?

    I think to be an atheist solely based on hatred of the god you dont believe in would be very illogical and quite obviously hypocritical. But, to be an atheist and hate the concept of God, or the fictional character of God is perfectly fine. I think people are free to dislike anything they want...

    Steve's thoughts on evolution

    I think that this is a VERY important point in this discussion. Who vs. How. Really, because of the nature of this battle, it cant really be won by anybody, science will always try to methodically and rationally explain phenomena, and religion will always point to a deity. I think another big...

    When Did Religions First Begin?

    I agree completely! Humans have an innate need to define and eplain everything around us. Nowadays I guess we call that science, but before we had science we needed an explanation for what was happeneing. Death, sex pregnancy and birth, weather, dreams, coincidence, these are all things that for...

    Seers -- Augurs or Stoners?

    I think that there is a large distinction between stoners and drug-inspired seers. First of all, stoners /junkies or whatever you call 'em use drugs as recreation and habit. Seers who use them, on the other hand, try to employ the drug for specific mental purposes. Getting stoned isnt specific...

    Seers -- Augurs or Stoners?

    Most times, shamans who use these plants, fungii or concoctions aren't trying to communicate with God per se but the spirit world and it's inhabitants. They can be used to speak with the dead, with higher powers like a God or Goddess, with evil, beneficial, protective spirits or with what are...

    Is Global Warming From Satan?

    This is a great idea, except that we'd have to transport that much meat all around the world to get rid of it, thereby using trucks, planes boats etc, only more emissions. Is there no solution to flatulent cattle!!?

    Unified Theory of Creation/Evolution

    I think you may be on the right track with your first explanations about symbolism in the bible, it can be argued for sure, from many sides, and at least you are trying to figure it all out as critically as you can. The above "math formula" on the other hand is a bit outlandish. Just because you...

    Proof Against Evolution

    This person has obviously not actually reserched evolution, or at least not enough. If they had, they would have figured out how each part of the tree evolved and from what earlier plants that tree came from. And looking at a tree and determining in that instance that evoltion is false? I can do...

    How did the first living thing on earth come to life?

    There is also the theory that the first cell/cells came to earth from space, via a meteor, meteorite etc. Of course, this theory only pushes back the explanation to another planet or another place in the universe, so it doesnt really solve the problem. This is also a good oppurtunity for the...

    1,000,000,000/1 Against Evolution !

    First of all, where did you get these numbers? it doesnt take billions of bad mutations, it takes as many mutations as it takes. If an organism has offspring that are all slightly mutated(and they are "bad mutations") they die off. The organisms with an advantageous or beneficial mutation live...
