Very interesting. It's funny how those that believe in evolution seem to become almost "threatened" when someone has a different view. Relax people. There is enough room in this world for different opinions.

At least it doesn't have humans mounting the dinosaurs.

Well, it may be hard on your part to understand my beliefs, but I can kind of imagine if I was in your shoes. We know chal is christian. Are you an evolutionist, rabid?

Very odd. It's like dirty's agnostic buddhism, and yet she believes in Jesus Christ.

I don't mean to turn this into a religious debate, but there is a difference between believing a person named Jesus Christ existed, and believing that he is the Son of God, and our saviour. And i'm not sure about dirty's beliefs, but it may easily be the first of the two possibilities I named.

Well, by believing that there was a man named Jesus Christ, I didn't say she followed him. I've talked to her about this. She sticks to her buddhism mostly, meditates as well, and also prays to God sometimes. It's a strange method.

Can't you believe God set in motion the events that wound up being evolution? Because something had to be created if you go far back enough, even if it was a few particles and a large energy blast. |

Either that, or God was there all along. I don't have any explanation as to how, but I may be able to conjure up a few things, but God was there all along.

Isn't it funny how someone can believe SO strongly in something they read out of a book, or something their parents tell them is true? It's not about choosing faith over science, it's about being gullible or thinking for yourself.

Did you just compare faith = gullible, science = thinking for yourself?
Oh, no I didn't just learn it from my parents. I learn it in church every sabbath. God has a special place for me in heaven, and I want to be there up in heaven.
If that was entirely true, where I only heard it from my parents, I might as well have turned evolutionistic, because I would have gone liberal. Then again, where I live, being liberal is easier that being a conservative, because there are so many people here that haven't heard of Christ.
Anyway, I like what I know. It helps me, and if you want, it can help you too. I hardly think of the problems of the past, I hardly ever feel the need to start fights with my parents, or others, and I'm generally good with others.
You can be the same without religion. Oh yeah, it's possible, but there is something more in religion than anything elsewhere.

Well learning from the "church" is the same damn thing as learning from your parents. They're both simply people telling you what they've read out of a book. And, whammo, you have your gullibility.
Sure, I don't doubt that religion helps people, gives them a false crutch, but it also has killion millions upon millions of people.
And Prone, you start fights with people (at least here) quite often, you just don't do it intentionally.
