so on the first day god created the heavens and the stars...on on the second day he created earth..i think thats how it goes..rite...well besides those so called facts....how long was gods "day"...was it a 24 hour day like on earth???....or could his day consist of millions of years??...anyone think of that??...i mean common...people seem to dwell too much or take the texts of the bible as literal truths...its just a book...with stories to help you live your life and treat others with kindness and respect....and if your a christian..and agains gays and differnt religions....your braking jesus' 11th commandment...to love one another.......but besides that......maybe science and religion might be both rite..its just those who think they know what religious texts mean that end up corrupting others to follow thier own sick plans..just like all them suicide bombers in the middle east..and just like them reborn christians that want to kill those who do not follow thier faith.......its sad how some people follow blindly

I applaud cornfight's comment ... "Who gives a fuk we're here and we've got beer."

However, not having any belief is sad for people like me who need to make sense of things (I am a prisoner of the human mind afterall). So that makes me envious of cornfight.

TheTamster is correct and Raz was correct until he said he believed in God (because our feeble human minds can only grasp the concept that something has to be created by something else).

It's a shame that this debate leads to nowhere. However, anything is possible, especially if Bush can be president of the US. There is no hope. Which leads us back to cornfight's comment.

Bible thumpers have to be some of the most irratating people on Earth, because the believe that their understanding of existence is the only correct one, even though it does not make any sense, and anyone who believes differently is evil and going to Hell.

Atheists are equally as closed minded, they believe that they alone are correct and anyone who believes differently from them is a total retard, but at least they do not think that people they disagree with are going to hell.

The way that I see it, is that it is amazing that that we do exist. That existence is real, because once upon a time, it was so. Not only did we personally not exist, but nothing existed, no matter or even time itself.

I think that through whatever strange quirk in evolution, that gave us minds that we able to contemplate our own existence, and create science to understand the unverse, and Art to convey that understanding goes far beyond simple survival of the fittest. Really, when was the last time your knowledge of physics or biology helped you get laid?

hahajohnnyb - how do you know that "Not only did we personally not exist, but nothing existed, no matter or even time itself."

We're not intelligent enought to know that. The human mind is just not intelligent enough. I wish I could elaborate ... but it's impossible.

Canadian Chick,

Ever heard of the Big Bang Theory, or the theory of Relativity?

When there was no matter in the Universe, before the bang, according to the Theory of Relativity time itself did not exist.

hahajohnnyb - the word "theory" says it all. Face it - the human brain can't contemplate existence so we can only come up with theories. It's a shame though.

I don't think that its desirable to make religion and science co-exist, because it would stiffle human thought. If I had my way we would all have a religion of curiosity, where every morning we would wake up, amazed at everything that we do not know or understand, and spend the rest of the day trying to fill that void.

The majority of us do that already. However, filling that void is usually destructive because of what society has become, and always has been.

Canadian Chick,

I agree with you for a change. We are all too stupid and ignorant to understand the true nature of existence. No one can understand God or the universe, but some people are compensate for their stupidity and ignorance by putting all their faith in incomplete science or Religion, this allows them to pretend that they are knowledgible and gives them a sense that they have some degree of control.

I am comfortable knowing that I am as stupid and ignorant in relative terms as everyone else in the World. Its the past-time of contemplating existence and reality, while trying to obtain knowledge that keeps me from a life of boredom. I like to think about God, and what God might be, and if I accepted a religions take on God, I would get bored. Just like I like to think about evolution and marvel that something as complex as life exists.

EDIT: While I agree with your statement 2 posts up, I disagree with your last statement. I do not believe that such a thing as society exists, and believe that people generalize an artificial construct of society on which to project their fears or hatreds, about the macro-organism that is the human race. Taken in balance Humanity is neutral, we are neither good nor evil; as a whole.

What the majority does not accept is their own falliblity. Every individual is passionately and emotionally connected to their personal world view, understanding that their knowledge and intelligence are flawed creates a paradox in their perception of reality and it fucks with their heads, so most people pretend that they are neither ignorant or stupid.

Sorry, this may have been dealt with before, but did someone say that there is nothing about killing people in the Koran? I was under the assumption that there were death penalties for adulterers, non-believers, murderers, homosexuals, and probably some other crimes I can't think of. Is there really no condoning of killing in the Koran at all? Even if it is execution?

Canadian Chick- I find it funny how you blame the human brain for not being able to explain existance, as though we are inferior or something. Reguardless of how and where we came from you cant assume that we are not intelligent enough to understand. All that the therories of the big bang and reletivity do is provide inferences of how the universe may have come about. For example, if you come home one day and happen to find a smashed window with a rock next to it, you make the inference that somone threw the rock through your window. However chances are you'll have a very hard time working out who it was that threw the rock. You might assume it was somone that hated you, (as religons believe it was their god(s) that created us) but other than that you got nothing. Now that doesnt make you any less intelligent does it? But on the other hand, you might find some evidence, such as a footprint outside or somthing, that you can use to eventually find out who threw the rock, just as scientists may oneday find solid evidence of how it all began.

I read a comment, that said why cant science and religion co-exist and i think there is a very simple answer for this:

science is at a stage now where it can prove religion as well.... FAKE ,it probably already has but they would never show such things to us sheep.

This is a big problem for all the people who profit from religion,and dont kid youslef theres lots of people, like everything nowaday all that matters is profit and religion is steady profit, i know guys that CANT go to the mosque because the cant AFFORD to. Also the preist at the chapel where i live drives a 50grand mercede's.

I dont think we should realy worry about explaining existence, by all means reaserch how we came to be, but i think "the meaning of life" is just one of those redundant questions that has a different answer for evey individual. We should be more intrested in "what is the meaning of MY life" find your purpose, your reason to get out of bed in the morning and all the other questions will answer themselves!

k ill explain it to you all very simple....when you actually STUDY CREATION you LEARN SHIT. half of it it teaching you all the shit thats wrong with evolution, which is pretty funny since they leave it in the textbooks and u still get taught all the shit in schools.in creation science they give you a book about every single creature thats ever been called a "missing link" and explain how its complete bull shit(lucy was a fucking chimpanzee you retards and shes still on display.....) im not saying i belive in creation but im saying that evolution is by far the biggest crock of bull shit ive ever heard. WHY CANT THEY JUST TEACH SCIENCE IN SCHOOL AND NOT THEORIES.


ps look up EVOLUTION in a dictionary, there will be about 6 different answers...only ONE has EVER BEEN PROVEN, which is microevolution and that means ADAPTATION...a birds beaks and feathers might change over generations, but you will never get a bird giving birth to ANYTHING BUT A BIRD. FUCK EVOLUTION
