Sigh. First of all: grammar, dude, grammar. It's required of you.

I say what if God created the Big Bang and that's how life came to be in a way (as in just to quickly summarize it). As for evolution, I think there were humans years ago. I do think they may not have been the same a us today but non the less they were humans (not monkeys or apes). Quote:
In a religious frame of mind, God created the world and said so in the Bible. Case closed, no problems. In a scientific frame of mind, effectively no evidence points toward creationism and mountains of evidence support evolution. Now it comes down to which one you would rather trust. You chose the former, clearly, but you cannot fault someone else for choosing the latter. When it all boils down, though, we can't find any "truth" since there's no way to know for sure. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |

http://ffrf.org/quiz/bquiz.php Try this quiz too if you want Also, watch this video: http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/...The_Bible.html (if link doesn't work, google penn and teller bull****: the bible 1. Paraphrased: The husband is to rule over his wife. Wives are to be subject to their husbands even when the husband is disobedient to God. Man is the image and glory of God, while woman is the glory of man. Man was not created for woman but woman for man. Actual quotes (I won't include all of them): 7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. 9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 16Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 2. Paraphrase: A man who refuses to impregnate his widowed sister-in-law is put to death. 8And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. 9And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 10And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. 3. A child who curses his parent(s) is to be put to death. A stubborn and/or rebellious child is to be put to death. 17And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. 4. Anyone who sacrifices to other gods must be destroyed. 20He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed. 5. The eating of blood and fat are prohibited forever. 17It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood 6. A woman who is menstruating is unclean. Anyone who touches her is unclean 19And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. 7. If a man has sexual relations with both his wife and his mother-in-law, all three of them must be put to death. 14And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you. There are like, hundreds more of things like these. I'll add one more because its funny XD 8. David dances and exposes himself to his maids

Re: A big problem for Evolution?
The Bible is written by an author who has basically no scientific credentials, doesn't cite its sources, and is full of weird statements as noted above. If it was examined like a scientific manuscript, it would be instantly thrown into the fire.

Re: A big problem for Evolution?
I know it was a while back and talisman said he wouldn't come back, but: There is evidence for a flood IIRC. Pretty much every culture around the world (that was around at the time, at least) has a flood story. The story is basically the same, with a bunch of bad people and one worthy guy (and usually his family) surviving by building a boat. It's an event that most likely happened. The story is at least based in truth, but each version of it has its different points depending on the religion and culture of the writer.
Just wanna say this: I hate when people quote tiny parts of the bible (or any big thing). It's very easy to find things out of context and make them seem ridiculous. Some fanatics find small passages that they feel says they should hate hate blacks or launch crusades against all non-Christians and pervert the overall message of the Bible, which is an especially contradicting thing. You can disregard a huge portion of the old testament cuz Jesus comes in and says to ignore the old rules because "lol I'm Jesus!", basically. I mean, I could go quote the part in Songs of Solomon where he talks about how his wife's breasts are like two galloping gazelle and her teeth are like a flock of sheep, but what's that gonna prove in a debate about evolution? Nothing. Hey let's make a thread about the presidency and then go argue against him by finding every retarded law in the books and ignore any story it may have behind it. WOW REALLY MEN CAN'T WEAR PINK DRESSES ON SUNDAYS IN SOME STATE OR THEY GET THE DEATH PENALTY? WOW THIS IS RIDICULOUS! It's pointless. Anywho, I think that one kid had a similar point as mine that I posted way earlier, but he's trying to argue it as fact when this whole thing is a big opinion-fest. I said it earlier, but basically, either the universe has existed forever or something/somebody made it. Science says the later isn't possible, but if you ask me, it's easier to believe that a supreme being has existed forever than for some ball of matter to have existed forever. That's about the most logic I can put behind theism, but it works for me. Because really, as I said before, science has no explaination for the creation of the universe. Formation of things and life on earth, yeah, we have ideas, but aside from "it's always been here" there's no explaination as to how things got here. And for me, "it's always been here" just doesn't cut it.

There is no scientific evidence of the worldwide flood, only counter evidence. Egyptian history dates back to about 3000 BC, and it says nothing about the flood, nor were the egyptians wiped out. The entire story of noah's ark should not be taken seriously. To read any of the genesis literally is to misunderstand the point. Quote:
So what, its acceptable for the bible to say you can murder little children (actually, god kills a child at one point), and then simply ignore it? Why? This doesn't make any sense. If the bible is to be taken literally you have to examine all of it literally. You can't just say 'oh lol lets ignore that little bit there about selling your daughter and teach the rest'. No, that's ludicrous. If you can read between the lines and ignore literally reading the bible, then the bible in itself is useless since you're making your own guidelines, not using the bibles.

Re: A big problem for Evolution?
That's some pretty flimsy (if not nonexistant) justification for supporting abortion...
Not to mention the fact that taken literally and without context (the only way one can stretch that to have anything to do with abortion), that has NOTHING to do with being pro-choice, but rather with supporting child-killing. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |

Re: A big problem for Evolution?
Hmm...Evolution....Well, if we evolved from apes, why are there still apes? With everything else that has "evolved," the weaker counterpart has died off. Hmm...
