Time for the world to wake the hell up. There is no such thing as god and anyone who wants to argue otherwise is nothing but an ignorant sheep.

Protecters Touch; I totally agree. Just because your fairytale is a couple of thousand years old doesn`t make it any more credible than Scientology or a children`s bedtime book.

Just because you cant see god does not mean he does not exist. Beofre i read your comment i did not know you existsed, does that mean you just suddenly popped into existance as soon as i saw prove of your existance?

Call people who believe in god ignorant sheep, i think it is the other way round, there is so much out there to prove there is a higher being, but yet you still want to leave your mind closed to the posibility of a higher being. Look up Phi

Dojnt like Dawkins trying to cause trouble, he choices the most religious area of the US to talk about evolution. He is a trouble stirer. All his argument are so flakey, they are just his opinion and cant be past as fact. Students and parents should decide what they should learn in biology, not "the board of education"

I do not think it is right to teach a subject as fact when it is just thoery and the theory has many holes in it.

Science does not have the answers for everything. there are something that just cant be explained that atheists pretend never happened.

evolution has far fewer holes than the bible

untill you put aliens in the picture...lets see turn to ezikel, when elizha was taken away by the firey charriot...that sounds like a ufo to me. Adam and eve, eve was made from the rib of adam...wow a rib is regenerative and will grow back, so i can see how the ets use genetics to make eve. Go read the bible, and in the back of your head think what would an advance alien races technology look like to a person 6,000-2,000 years ago...how would they describe it...

if i took my red dodge neon and drove it around Bethlehem 2000 years ago they would have thought it was a "blood red beast that made the ground tremble with the sound of a thousand hourses"

but there is a god, i would like to think of it as more of a super consciousness in the universe! unlimited consciousness and we are all apart of it.

^ It is flakey he contradicts him,self so often, and never will say he could be wrong or he might be wrong. Signs of Arrogance, even they way he presents himself shows arrogance.

Umm it is wrong to say a FAITH has holes in it, you dont know what faith means do you? Study up on what faith is and means.

"evolution has far fewer holes than the bible"

So you do agree evolution has holes in its theory?

atsguy any atheist that read the bible just read it to laugh at it. When your mind is made up already about something and read a paper against your opinion you will reason with your self to try and debunk the paper, because you dont want to think You could Be wrong in your thinking.

"Just because you cant see god does not mean he does not exist."

`Hasty Generalization` Fallacy. Just because you can`t see 100,000,000,000 different things that you can imagine up, does not mean any of them don`t actually exist. You cannot live your life, decide who to vote for, treat people like equals or inferiors, based on something you think COULD exis but have no proof for.
__

"There is so much out there to prove there is a higher being."

Incorrect. There is so much in your head to prove there is a higher being. The connection made between the existence of God, and the existence of a Phi (what you probably meant was the "Golden Ratio", Phi is just a Greek letter) is a connection that you and probably a couple other religious believers make. Most others see that they are simply two things, independent of one another.

What`s more, this holds true for any any wondrous thing in our universe. The fact that it`s incredible and astounding does not in ANYTHING WAY AT ALL suggest that there is a god. If anything, the more wondrous things we discover, the more we should realize just how typical we are in the universe, and how the entire universe really is nothing but wondrous things because we are not as wondrous as we`d like to think.

"Science does not have the answers for everything. there are some things that just can`t be explained that atheists pretend never happened."

Talk about your ignorant biased statements, holy shit. Science absolutely does not have the answers for everything, in fact one of the cornerstones of Science is that it WILL NEVER have all the answers because for every answer we find, we find more questions. This benefits the human condition much more than religion, which pretends to have all the answers for everything, with no evidence, proof, testable hypothesis, or logical methodology.

As for "Atheists pretend never happen", making generalized sweeping statements about any group of people is ignorant, and in this case inaccurate.
_

"It is wrong to say a FAITH has holes in it, you don`t know what faith means do you? Study up on what faith is and means."

This statement is actually not completely wrong. Faith does not have holes, because it is actually just one giant hole itself. The definition of faith is "belief, in the absence of proof". By it`s very definition, there can be no proof or evidence when it is faith that guides your belief. Maybe YOU should study up on faith and what it means.
_

"When your mind is made up already about something, and you read a paper against your opinion, you will reason with yourself to try and debunk the paper."

This is true, but it works both ways. Having grown into my mid-teens as a full fledged protestant Christian, I can say that I truly have been on the other side of the argument. I was not born an atheist, but I opened my mind to the argument on the other side and actually found it to be much, MUCH more logical and convincing.

"But there is a god, i would like to think of it as more of a super consciousness in the universe! unlimited consciousness and we are all apart of it."

See "...I would like to think..." which essentially sums up your statement, and the value of it.

"Just because you can`t see 100,000,000,000 different things that you can imagine up, does not mean any of them don`t actually exist."

so it is better not to believe?

"Incorrect. There is so much in your head to prove there is a higher being."

Prove to me there is not? if you cant stop trying to shoot down my posts. When you have proof then you have something to argue for.

" The connection made between the existence of God, and the existence of a Phi (what you probably meant was the "Golden Ratio", Phi is just a Greek letter) is a connection that you and probably a couple other religious believers make. "

You did not read it did you? If you did you would not have come up with that conclusion. And it is called PHI, do some study before you argue your point, you did not even know what phi was before i sent the link. Scientist found the number you fool, not a bunch of religious people. You think anyone that has a theory against evolution is a religious nut?. Phi is a mathematical number, just like PI

"The fact that it`s incredible and astounding does not in ANYTHING WAY AT ALL suggest that there is a god."

If you read anything with your mind shut yeah you will see not anything you do not want to. The only people that do not believe in Phi and say it is crap are strong minded atheists like yourself.

Some scientists say that there could be life on other planets, Oh wait but they could believe in something that has not shown it self, and there is not proof. Oops.

"Science absolutely does not have the answers for everything, in fact one of the cornerstones of Science is that it WILL NEVER have all the answers because for every answer we find, we find more questions"

EXACTLY my argument about teaching evolution, when all the evolution questions be answered then go ahead and teach it as fact, unit then they say it is a theory.

"As for "Atheists pretend never happen", making generalized sweeping statements about any group of people is ignorant, and in this case inaccurate"

But it is ok if you do it about religious people? oh ok you tell me the rules of this argument. You saying some atheists believe in miracles?

"The definition of faith is "belief, in the absence of proof". By it`s very definition, there can be no proof or evidence when it is faith that guides your belief. Maybe YOU should study up on faith and what it means."

I think someone without faith should shut up about telling someone else to research the meaning.

"But there is a god, i would like to think of it as more of a super consciousness in the universe! unlimited consciousness and we are all apart of it"

WE ARE BORG! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. We aint borg. We aint one large consciousness. It would stop alot of the crap that is going on in the world though.

My only problem when they teach evolution is that they teach it as fact. Teach it as theory and all is ok. I do not agree how religious organisations go about "teaching" others about god.

Wow. Just wow. I can`t and won`t respond to these answers.

You put words in my mouth ("But it is ok if you do it about religious people?")...

...make unjustified assumptions ("You did not read it did you? If you did you would not have come up with that conclusion. And it is called PHI, do some study before you argue your point, you did not even know what phi was before i sent the link.")...

...and infuse every ounce of your reply with blantant bias ("Prove to me there is not? if you cant stop trying to shoot down my posts. When you have proof then you have something to argue for." - "I think someone without faith should shut up about telling someone else to research the meaning.").

This is not an argument, I don`t even know what this is. It`s definately not an argument. But it IS definately full of hate and intollerance, which I expect from a religous zealot.

"Wow. Just wow. I can`t and won`t respond to these answers"

Seeing you cant answer any of my questions how can you support evolution as fact if there is not enough evidence to prove it is fact? Evolution is a faith.

"This is not an argument, I don`t even know what this is. It`s definately not an argument."

An argument is a heated exchange of diverging or opposite views, a set of reasons given in support of something.


" But it IS definately full of hate and intollerance, which I expect from a religous zealot"

Hate and intollerance, Nothing i said was hateful or even came across that way.
The only intollerance i have is towards people that force the theory of evolution as fact without any proof and say god does not exist without proof. Like you have intollerance towards people who believe in god.
Religious zealot? Just because i beleive in a higher being does not mean i am one of those religious nuts cases. I am not a fantatical about religion. Stop thinking you know me.
