The Official Religious/Political Debate Thread (house, effects, quote, Inci)

We come from monkies. Archeologists have found progressive skeletons of humans and prehumans (namely Neanderthals but there are other types I gather) which are increasingly compatible with monkies the further back we go. And Darwins adaption theory, "Survival of the fittest" is tried and tested and without a doubt proven. Is it so emotionally painful for you to believe that we haven't always been mostly hairless and upright?

The first part of my post was directed at you.

It`s not a cop out , it`s the truth.

Urban's arguing against the big bang, which is a much flimsier theory than evolution. Evolution is a theory, but its one which has been shown to work very well. Evolution can be seen by observing biological systems, animals, behaviour, DNA and all those things. The big bang is just a theory that it tenously 'proven' with a load of mathematics by physicists and mathematicians who you might not be able to trust, because their ability to publish their work may depend upon them proving that their theory is fact.

^ in theory your just a bunch of eletric signals that could be anything from a robotic computer to a parrot typing.. but we know your a real person...

Evolution is fact, how can you even argue that?

'Cause I believe we were created & I have faith in it?

It's just a theory so disregard it?
What about EVERY OTHER SCIETIFIC THEORY that we take as fact?

With Evolution there has to be a starting point, like "where did animals come from in the first place?" and those questions will never be answered, at least I don't think so.

So you believe that we were always just like we are now?
That is ignorance.

I`m not argueing against it.

I`m just saying it`s a theory. One that might have 'some' scientific evidence to back it up , but it`s still only a theory.

Besides , what caused the big bang? what was there before that? Where did the gas that cause the big bang come from?

It doesn`t answer any of those questions

That starting point, is called the Big Bang Theory.

I've yet to hear a theory that explains what created god.
Howcome "He always was and always will be" is an acceptable answer for Christians to use to explain god, but it isn't good enough for the matter that combusted during the Big Bang.

And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead.
