    The Strange Thing about Creationism

    You are wrong here Outhouse, the early earth had very little free oxygen in its atmosphere and thus would have much less ozone. During this period there was life in the oceans. Before the oxygen producing bacteria evolved there would probably not have been a significant ozone layer.

    The Strange Thing about Creationism

    And here is the primary error that arises from your ignorance of evolution, Evolution does not need to go at 88mph to produce a major morphologic change such as that which separates dogs and lions, it needs to go 88 miles which it can do at 5mph, it just takes time (i.e. many generations)...

    The Strange Thing about Creationism

    More ignorance on show here, beneficial mutations have been observed. More ignorance, as the Theory of Evolution neither suggests nor requires radical changes to other forms.

    The Strange Thing about Creationism

    You are just receating your undending display of ignorance, there is no Macro-speciation proposed within evolutionary theory. There is just speciation, something that has been observed. Macroevolution is just a whole lot of microevolution over time, which is fully supported by genetics and the...

    My views on homosexuality

    Then your "friend" is wrong, multiple papers have been published that show there is a genetic component to homosexuality even though there is no single "homosexual gene".

    Creationists, please provide evidence

    But there is nothing stopping God from providing evidence that would stand up to scientific scrutiny, instead we have a slew of religions claims that are refuted by scientific evidence. For example if the world was 6,000-10,000 years old as the Young Earth Creationists claim and there was a...

    was islam spread by the sword ?

    Yes it was (although not exclusivley so), but exactly the same can be said about Christianity. The ancient Hebrews were pretty violent and so were the Hindus, I expect the same can be said about many other religions.

    Factors preventing people from conversion to Islam

    1. Lack of evidence that the god described in the Quran actually exists? 2. The unequal treatment of women in Islam (and the homophobia)? I'd say those would be the 2 main factors.

    The Burning of Quran – A Modern Act of Barbarism

    In what way is burning the Quran more barbaric and hateful than burning any book? If I buy a book and want to burn it why is that a problem? I should have the right to destroy my own property if I really want to and the Quran has no special status above the Bible or any other book. Its just a...

    What are the "facts" of Evolution?

    There is no denying the geologic column, even if the claims that radiomectric dating is unreliable due to varying decay rates held any water that just means that the rocks would be younger than the dates we get, it would not change the facts that the rocks that date to be older than the ones...

    If the Theory of Evolution is true what does it prove?

    No its not, its a question asking about your certainty when compared to members of other religions or of the same religion as you who hold different views on some things. You are dodging the question.

    10 Most Common Misconceptions about Islam

    A number of their "Misconceptions" are strawman arguments and their responses are very weak.

    Atheists: why the Christians?

    It would be more accurate to say that most atheists who post on english language forums tend to come from the US or Western Europe which means that their society has been heavily influenced by Christianity over history even if it now pretty secular and that other religions have not been a...

    The forum reads: Athiesm vs. Creationism

    And this is your problem, you have no idea of what the theory of evolution actually says because it certainly doesn't say that. As you seem to need educating the the basics lets start you off from the beginning. Populations evolve not individuals. So its a population of mammals that are very...

    If the Theory of Evolution is true what does it prove?

    Not about the creation of the universe and the planets and stars its doesn't. It says nothing about it. The only thing is explains is how life diversifies. Your problem is that you think it contradicts how you have decided to interpret part of the bible. Many Christians have no problems...

    Why science might be useless...

    I think you do need to cite a study because for the industrialised nations life expectancy has increased markedly compared to about 200 years ago (41 in 1841) to the 67.2 years it is now as a global average. That is the figure that is affected by science up until now as it takes into account...

    Richard Dawkins often used murder scene analogy...

    Not really even remotely possible, because the conclusion that evolution is "true" comes not from 1 crime scene but from millions. And they all say the same thing. Darwin did completely miss some things, for instance although he proposed that there was a means of heredity in living things that...

    Speciation

    No, she's saying that mammals tend to be furry, have 4 limbs and often a tail so a superficial glance at an artist's best guess as to what an animal may have looked like is enough for common sense to declare what type of animal they are.

    The Sun (Earth) stood still?

    No, because a meteorite big enough to do that would have vapourised a huge section of the planets crust and killed most life on the planet. Reposition the continents? Without the massive earthquakes that the bible does not mention? No, I'm telling you that the peoples of the ANE did know...

    Science is a False God

    On the offchance that this is not in fact a joke. No, but it can tell us something about the effects of love. Yes it can. Yes it can. No, the claim of 900 years is a lie. And a propaganda tool the writers of the OT took from earlier civilisations. The people of the ANE lived shorter...
