Why has man never evolved?

:bonk: blind faith is dangerous pete.

I agree. I question my faith from time to time. Sometimes I doubt. Doubt is difficult to get through.

do you purposely appose science because it goes against a 2000 year old book written as a spiritual guide that was never ment as a history book????????????????

I do not purposefully oppose science!! :shout

Or do you appose knowledge in gerneral??????

Don't be ridiculous.

fresh out of prison, or a half way reformed drug/alcohol adict?

None of the above. Why make those assumptions about someone you do not know and have not met? You're makinhg this awfully personal now, outhouse.

Religion is not my crutch. God the Father is my crutch. As crutches go, I could do much worse than God. I could be using alcohol or narcotics or sex to get me through the day ... and what's wrong with needing a crutch?

And by scripture, I assume you mean the Bible?

Correct.

Because we know the Bible is lying.

Do you?

Heck, it's not even internally consistent.

I see.

Which means, according to you, that you are lying.

If the Bible is a lie, I'm a liar.

And that can't be good. :no:

After we're all dead and there's nothing but a black void, I owe you a Coke.

Mate, the Bible isn't evidence of anything. Many of the events didn't and couldn't have taken place as written.

Were you around back then?

I'm afraid you are going to have to find a better source for "evidence" if you want to be taken seriously.

I don't want to be "taken seriously" by you.

Do you not see that using the Bible as evidence for God is just like using old fairytales and myths as evidence for dragons?

I can see how you might make that comparison.

And this sudden display of concern and affection is heart-warming.

First MAN HAS EVOLVED do you understands the words I type?????? should I spell slower????
Perhaps you should read what I wrote before going off on a tangent. So far you have ultimately failed in your ability to read even a simple message.

What I said is: discussing the attitude of the Biblical god is not for this thread. This thread is for creationism vs evolution debates.

I accept evolution. Get over it.

If you believe in the bible
I don't, so stop boring me.

and fall for the fiction its your own fault and this BS for a exuse needs to stop.
It's a good idea to read what people write before you try to preach.

In brief:

1. I am not a Christian
2. I accept evolution as fact. I do not believe in creationism.
3. I enjoy science
4. I do not care for the Bible
5. I do not consider the Biblical deity to be my God, or even a god.


K?

Yup. And so do most Christians. Who, by the way, do not take the Bible literary.


That cannot be much of a surprise to you? o_O

If the Bible is a lie, I'm a liar.

Or, you are delusional.

After we're all dead and there's nothing but a black void, I owe you a Coke.

You don't "owe" me anything. ;)

Were you around back then?

No, but many of the events contradict natural laws, are not consistent with archaeological finds, and so on. I'll give an easy example: According to the Bible bats are birds.

You are starting to sound like someone who has never read the arguments against your position ever.

I don't want to be "taken seriously" by you.

Oh, I'm not the problem here. You don't need to be taken seriously by me.

I can see how you might make that comparison.

So, pray tell, what is the difference between them?

And this sudden display of concern and affection is heart-warming.

If it makes you all fuzzy inside, go right ahead. ;)

This thread is for creationism vs evolution debates

And what you fail to mention or realize is that the only reason creation was thought up! to protect religion.

creation is religion. There is no scientific debate that can be had between the two because one is a religious myth and the other reality.

If one tears down religion one tears down creationism. The problem this primitive belief has lasted this long is because scientist do not attack religion. I think we should go right for the foundation of creationism and quit playing games with this myth.

its gone on to long

What you're missing is that's the point of the evolution vs. creationism section of the forum: to debate creationism and evolution.

is because scientist do not attack religion.
:sarcastic You do know that if you had scientists attacking religion itself--as opposed to creationism--you would have quite a significant number of people becoming wary of science, even more than now? That's why there is a growth in religious fundamentalism and literalism amongst some people: they feel their religion is under attack.

As I said, that you seem to be conveniently ignoring: I'm religious. I accept evolution, as do many people on this forum and even in the world altogether. Do not mistake all religious people for scriptural literalists who deny evolution.
