I love when Creationsists roll out that small percentage of scientific 'evidence' they have gleaned from their pro-Creation websites to backup their claims about the world's age. These views seem to propagate unchanging and are latched onto by new generations of fundies and creationists who...
Rescue mission?
So, you are of the school of thought that they are damned unless they turn to God? If so, what about those souls that never heard of Christ or God before they died? Surely it is an act of malice on the part of any God or Jesus Christ to condemn people to damnation just because...
That article on the oldest living thing is merely talking about the oldest one still living. It doesn't say it was the first! Totally different.
Look further down the page, there is a yellow box that discusses a bacterium Bacillus that existed in rock strata 'millions of years before dinosaurs...
Most Christians I have had long discussions with over this are just too proud of the special place that Creationism gives them in the world and the universe although they will often deny it if you ask them outright. They often see it is as insulting to be related to apes and 'brother' to...
I don't see the existence of Satan as an issue myself. After all, if humans were supposedly given free will to choose their fate, then why not his angels too? Although I struggle with understanding the point of giving people free will in the first place from a deity's point of view.
I think...
Being lucky is something fortunate happening in the face of stiff statistical (or probable) odds.

I have a very small statistical probability of winning the lottery - therefore if I do, I'm...
This is the very same question that I posed to some JWs. They told me that God would judge them on their lives, because no one had explained the Word of God to them.
So, not knowing the Word = salvation as long as you lead a good life.
Being told about the Word but not accepting it =...
Well, I'm not one to base my understanding of death and the question of what happens thereafter on scripture. My beliefs are scientific. The heart stops pumping and the human dies. There is no spirit or soul, merely electrical and chemical activity in the brain that has cumulative effects...
Jesus was a Jew.
Christianity as it is today is the work of the 'early Christians' such as Paul and developed and modified over many centuries into what we have today. I would be surprised if any Christian were to contend that Jesus created Christianity as we see it today. Religions, like...
Not to be offensive, but bit of a pointless article. Can't see how it offers anything. Basically it tells us all what different religions think happens and tells us it is good to think about it.
As far as it goes..I reckon you die and that is it. Your heart stops pumping blood to your brain...
Hi
I'm Seneca. I'm an atheist here to turn all to my ways - evil laugh!
Not really, just interested in discussing things religious and spiritual
That's all
Hi. I am a non-believer myself. I think of myself as typical of most non-believers/atheists, call it what you will, and think I am accurate in saying that most of us consider that the Bible was written by human beings and indeed, in historical context, may therefore naturally include...
