[QUOTE="NVIDIATI"]

[QUOTE="ProjectTrinity"] Well, if there is a God, or to make things more interesting: If the Christian God is real and who he says he is, he by far isn't 'ignorant'. I believe he's insensitive myself, so I'll let that fly. The real trick is the fact you are dubbing something as fiction that you do not fully grasp. Unless you have an absolute method of proving that nothingness can create the universe as complex as it has, then at the very most, all you're doing is trolling while the rest of the thread is having pretty insightful reads. So in short, you are the only person laying your opinion down as fact, or at least giving off that impression, so, you should be the only person giving solid facts backing your statements.ProjectTrinity

You fill the gap of the unknown with a creator. A random variable "x" that in your case has taken the form of a christian god, whom also happens to be a male hence the "he." Or are my statements pushed aside making me an outcast among those who believe? Intern leading you to believe I'm "trolling."

That sounds like a loop waiting to happen. Here: I did not tell you that 'nothingness created the universe' as fiction, which would be what you did. I just explained why I choose to believe in a magical man in the sky. You chose to call said magical man fictional, knowing that we have Christians on this forum, therefore, trolling. Of course, you could always be all literal and say "I never specified/singled-out religion!', but that doesn't change much. [Yes I said 'magical man in the sky'. ]

So I have to limit what I believe in to not offend others while they can just simply state theirs? Or is my calling of "god" being fiction considered an attack on others beliefs aka religion, while they can suggest a creator and not be offensive to my own beliefs?

Evolution is total BS and is something Science has yet to prove, just like the Big Bang. Both are nothing more than conjecture.

VisigothSaxon

I want to see proof behind this statement.

The proof being that Evolution and the Big Bang are not scientific fact. Regardless of how strongly scientists believe in it, they have yet to prove it as fact.

Neither has/Especially Creationism.

Depends what evolution you are talking about. Yes the evolution in biology is fact, but is vastly different and subtle, and not what people think of when they say evolution.

That's because it's meaning is misinterpreted and tends to be skewed, that doesn't mean what it actually is is BS though. Evolution is a theory that is largely accepted among the scientific community.

Who said anything about that? Feel more than free to. I'm just saying that your opinion would be more inline with a troll's opinion, and successfully ends a streak of insightful posts that are more open-minded. Or at least so my opinion says. For all I know, your opinion may not be narrow-minded at all, and totally understands where the other side comes from. Then again, understanding how it's possible that it may not be fiction and keeping the possibility open to your mind would, well, have prevented you from saying that in the first place, yes?

The fact that is accepted does not make it true. What is BS about evolution is that men evolved from apes, wouldn't that mean apes would still be turning into men? Or there would be no apes other than humans? I fully accept the type of evolution in biology because it is fact not theory.

We share similar ancestors when it comes to apes. Seriously man read a book and learn something because this stuff is basic knowledge

... There is a big difference between similarities and us actually evolving from them? Don't insult me, for I haven't insulted anyone here. Darwin's Evolution is conjecture nothing more.

I agree about him being confused or at least blinding himself to some easy to understand truths. We share common ancestors with apes. I don't know why people get so uptight about that

I actually deleted that post considering how condescending I was being. Regardless I stand by what I said and if I get reported for the harshness I will take that. I can't begin to understand people who refuse to believe in evolution and take creationism as fact. It all seems like a joke to me

[QUOTE="testfactor888"][QUOTE="SEGAmaniac7"] See I dont like talking to uneducated people like you who completely disregard opposing views and are so close minded. I do believe a lot of science is true, it explains many things and I totally agree with a lot of it. But not evolution, there is no real evidence, fossils bones mean nothing, theory's are just theory's, yea I believe in micro-evolution, over times creatures change adaptions but no, a creature can not turn into human and then reproduce and create more humans, its impossible. VisigothSaxon

Calling him uneducated is ironic in this instance

Evolution is total BS and is something Science has yet to prove, just like the Big Bang. Both are nothing more than conjecture.

If you say that about evolution, then I can say the same thing about god.

Like I said before, the universe or god, one of those two, had to come from nothing, and I think the universe is more likely to come from nothing.

Not to that extent. It is still conjecture. I don't get why people are saying I am confused, they clearly do not know biology.

Eh the type of evolution that is accepted is the subtle kind that works more on a cellular level. It is the Darwin type Evolution that is not fact. So? Just because a large majority beleives it does not make it true. Or else everyone would believe in religion because many people beleive in it and the Pope beleives in it.

As for an open mind I have no problem hearing others theories on the universe but my mindset should not be assumed trolling while everyone else is not. For I look at facts not opinion. Some who believe in a creator would just say a fact is just an opinion, to me that's just absurd as using facts I can disprove religion which is enough for me. Maybe those who believe in god look at science as just a variable "X" (not that they would believe in such a thing in the first place) and not something that through tests has proved itself time and time again.

The theory of evolution states that we share common ancestors with apes, which is different than what you're saying. And as far as I'm concerned, there's only one type of evolution (biological). Scientific theory is a well substantiated idea that has been tested repeatedly over time. It's quite different to compare it to religion.

God is based on more than faith considering there is a bible. That still doesn't change the fact they both cannot be proven disproven. It doesn't bother me either.

[QUOTE="ProjectTrinity"][QUOTE="NVIDIATI"] So I have to limit what I believe in to not offend others while they can just simply state theirs? Or is my calling of "god" being fiction considered an attack on others beliefs aka religion, while they can suggest a creator and not be offensive to my own beliefs?

NVIDIATI

Who said anything about that? Feel more than free to. I'm just saying that your opinion would be more inline with a troll's opinion, and successfully ends a streak of insightful posts that are more open-minded. Or at least so my opinion says. For all I know, your opinion may not be narrow-minded at all, and totally understands where the other side comes from. Then again, understanding how it's possible that it may not be fiction and keeping the possibility open to your mind would, well, have prevented you from saying that in the first place, yes?

Thus you do not think like me as I don't cross fiction with reality as it would no longer be fiction. As for an open mind I have no problem hearing others theories on the universe but my mindset should not be assumed trolling while everyone else is not. For I look at facts not opinion. Some who believe in a creator would just say a fact is just an opinion, to me that's just absurd as using facts I can disprove religion which is enough for me. Maybe those who believe in god look at science as just a variable "X" (not that they would believe in such a thing in the first place) and not something that through tests has proved itself time and time again.

Alright, I'm interested. Please bring in your facts that nothingness created the Big Bang. Evolution is not being argued, but the start of it all. The origin point. Scientifically explain to us all how 0 created everything from the Big Bang to today's world. I have no issues accepting the process of Evolution and science in general, because science gets things done. But to my knowledge, neither the magical man or the magical zero thing have one over the other. So, your facts disproving God, please? [And I did note you never specified 'God', but one can assume you meant that.]

[QUOTE="VisigothSaxon"]

[QUOTE="Suzy_Q_Kazoo"]I think I said from the get-go that it's a theory. The fact that it is widely accepted by scientists though proves that there's some foundation to reasonable, tested belief as to why it's become that way. I only know of the biological evolution.....what other one is there? Suzy_Q_Kazoo

Eh the type of evolution that is accepted is the subtle kind that works more on a cellular level. It is the Darwin type Evolution that is not fact. So? Just because a large majority beleives it does not make it true. Or else everyone would believe in religion because many people beleive in it and the Pope beleives in it.

The theory of evolution states that we share common ancestors with apes, which is different than what you're saying. And as far as I'm concerned, there's only one type of evolution (biological). Scientific theory is a well substantiated idea that has been tested repeatedly over time. It's quite different to compare it to religion.

That still does not make it more true than Religion. I despise the science communities sense of entitlement, even when they haven't proved something. As I am sure you guys despise religions sense of entitlement.

Evolution is total BS and is something Science has yet to prove, just like the Big Bang. Both are nothing more than conjecture.

VisigothSaxon

If you say that about evolution, then I can say the same thing about god.

Like I said before, the universe or god, one of those two, had to come from nothing, and I think the universe is more likely to come from nothing.

I have said that both Evolution and Religion cannot be proven or disproven. Why do I side with God? Well God answers more questions, even more so when you are talking about the universe.

No, god doesn't answers any questions, men do. Everything you know about god is man made, and the universe is telling us many things. For example, we are finding more and more earth like-planets. Therefore, there is a good chance that we are not alone in the universe.

Oh, and if Jesus was the son of god, wouldn't he of told everyone about the history of the earth and the universe?

Evolution also can be tested and observe.

Why would Jesus do that? He had a purpose on Earth and he fulfilled it, he came here to help and that is what he did. I never said it will answer your questions, that is something you have to find on your own.

"The history of earth and the universe"? Jesus' role on earth was to die for everyone's sins, not to give some geography lesson to appease a particular group of atheists nearly 2000 years later. He had more important things to do. And these "Earth like places" in outerspace arent even knwon to be like Earth at all. Also, The Bible never said that we were the only ones in the universe.

VisigothSaxon

I'm not atheist and don't despise religion. Several who are close to me happen to be religious, and I have nothing but the utmost respect for those who are able to have so much faith (since I'm not really able to). I think you're mistaken when you say the scientific community hasn't proved anything though, which is why I said what I did. I never claimed that religion is all lies and dribble, not at all. I was saying that science has a large basis for its theories, one of which happen to be evolution. For you to write off something that has been proven time and time again with evidence to be a widely accepted theory as just NOT true just doesn't quite make sense to me...

If he did, more people will be more inclined to believe him, and thus saving more people from the fires of hell. Isn't the whole point of Jesus coming to earth to save us?

I do not care about the Koran. Wait so you are saying that Evolution is and can be proven? Enlighten me then because I have yet to hear of this.
