Religion. The evolution, creation and everything in between megathread

[Xt1ncT]

Why the hell does everyone keep going on about dinosaurs?

Because creationists put the Earth at 6000 odd years old.

Yet the dinosaurs are millions of years old.

And they have no explanation for that.

Etc

:sly:

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

well don't ask me, i'm not a creationist.

People are drawn to religion because they want spiritual guidance. Religion provides a blueprint on how to live your life, and a solid grounding. I think that's a prefectly resonable thing to want and good luck to those people.

The truth is in the message not the details of whether turning water into wine is actually possible etc. When religion tries to do what science is for ie explain the natural universe - it just gets pwned so bad.

Religion has been getting pwned on a regular basis since Copernicus, Galileo etc. They need a new coach!

[KiLL3r]

religion is just something for those people who are afraid of death. They want something to be after death so they'll believe anything.

My word this thread has twisted and turned like a big twisty turny thing.

100% correct. Basically: None of you have the correct answers

This is not to say some of you dont have GOOD answers, but only really one answer is right and none of you have it. This of course means there will be no conclusion(though Im surprised Goodwin's law has not been breached yet)

Thusly: Im out Have fun with the debate!

No way! I was late home for two days after having mammoth Wii-gaming sessions late into the night and missed out posting for two days. Come back to find 2 1/2 pages of more posts!

Everyone seems to have everything in order anyway so no need for my input

just watched the clip tiwa, on the surface it's kind of true. But it's not really because just because there are 2 possibilities doesn't mean the 2 are as likely as each other.

[Mooks74]

Ok lets look at this subject on a larger scale, effectively you could have the most advanced technology that science provides for all time on your side or you could just have god..... ummm not too hard to guess the outcome there.

I agree with him, atheism is a belief, and an atheist who tries to force thier belifs onto someone else is just as bad as any fundamentalist.

With no evidence either way, how could you tell which possibility is more likely?

I think what BH means is that if you placed a 6 sided die in the box which had 5 sides marked with a 1 and one side marked with a 2 then you could say that you have a 83% chance of having a 1 on the die if you ever observe it. Which is true.

But the fact is that you will never know until you open it. And until you do you must consider the die result as being both 1 and 2.

Oh and good post with that vid Tiwa, i was writing a post in this thread which was along similar lines, but now i don't need to.

Atheists don't tend to start holy wars against their opponents.
