    Evidence for and against young earth creationism.

    The Branches of science you would have to ignore for young earth creationism are numerous—containing practically all of known science—but most notably these sciences are Biology, palaeontology, astronomy, geology, archeology, dendrochronology, and physics. All of these sciences demolish young...

    Religion and extra terrestrial life:

    I'll put my case forward for gods non existence against any claim of existence, but remember the burden of proof always lies with the one making the claim. This however is not the thread to do that.

    Religion and extra terrestrial life:

    This is an example of an individual deliberately ignoring facts, and disregarding important information.

    Religion and extra terrestrial life:

    These planets are multiple light years away, and have to be habitable for life. The chances of man developing the technology to get there are not good. I know god doesn't exist, so the impact on religion, if we ever make it there would be none. It would probably just expose how dumb we are, when...

    Religion: What is it?

    I'm not going to deny that religions do some charity work, but some don't. I just picked Christianity out of the main three, for no particular reason. I am fully aware of this. I was just trying to indicate, or bring to notice that fact. I would use the term cult to describe a minority...

    Trying To Understand Atheism

    I'm not an atheist, for I'm a anti-theist. An atheist simply believes no gods exist. An anti-theist is convinced and glad no gods exist. Hypothetically speaking, if god existed with all the pain and of suffering in the world, the only rational conclusion about God is that he’s either an...

    If no god exists does the concept become meaningless

    I believe that the very concept of god is meaningless, because it has no basis in observed reality or logic. So God is impractical and useless.

    Do the Jews, Christians and Muslims worship the same God....?

    The God characters of the Christians and the Muslims are both based on the God character of Judaism, which was on his turn based on El, the head God of the ancient Canaanite polytheistic pantheon, called the Elohim (meaning “children of El”), with a good dose of cross-pollination from the...

    Religion: What is it?

    Volunteering, working with underprivileged youth, the poor, working with the disabled are examples. Now, you might respond that Christians are avid volunteer workers. You’re right. Between raising money for the Boy Scout troop, the new gymnasium. Christians are constantly searching for ways to...

    How are these Great Beings explained?

    You simply make no sense with your statements. I'm a Cobol developer for a major banking institution.

    Religion: What is it?

    Every sane person on the planet knows right from wrong without needing a religion to tell them. It's a natural instinct of all animals and probably the only remaining animal instinct in humans that is beneficial. In many cases religion only alters and blurs what is right and wrong. Killing is...

    Religion: What is it?

    Since the awakening of religion, wars have been fought in the name of different gods and goddesses. Still today most violent conflicts contain religious elements linked up with ethno-national, inter-state, economic, territorial, cultural and other issues. Threatening the meaning of life...

    Religion: What is it?

    It's simply not a story. If you follow history and religion, you would know this already. I can't have a debate with anybody who denies the facts. The reason i pick on religion is because it is the only divisive factor where a better alternative already exists. History has shown that religion...

    Religion in general has been killing people for thousands of year. the 6 million jews killed during the holocaust, the untold and the untold amount of people killed during the crusades, the catholic church has been condoning the killing of people over religion since Christianity was made the...

    How are these Great Beings explained?

    It seems your just afraid of reductionism. Reductionism will always be a valid and useful methodology, and will always be necessary.

    Could Jesus have been wrong?

    I personally don't think Jesus ever existed. Jesus as described in the bible is more than wrong, for he was an insane madman.

    Do creationists have anything new?

    Opponents of evolution want to make a place for creationism by tearing down real science, but their arguments never hold up. The arguments that creationists use are typically specious and based on misunderstandings of (or outright lies about) evolution.

    Is there anything more disgusting than God?

    God is disgusting. He's a rapist, thief, lier, murderer, genocidal, and he's jealous and paranoid. God is a disgusting piece of garbage! I don't believe in god though, nor the idea of a god, or gods.

    How are these Great Beings explained?

    These are Those aren't great beings. They probably didn't even exist, and if they did they all suffered from a delusional disorder.

    What are your views on religion? What are the reasons for this?

    I see religion as a mental illness, based on delusions and hallucinations, that are outside the boundaries of logic and reason.
