    Tu quoque, you find that a lot here. I'm sure you've noticed it.
    Is this a warning against hearing aids?

    @boab, I can't answer you until they get this automerge thing sorted. I just can't face it anymore.

    One could look at it this way...If you believe in God and die to find out there is a God youll be glad. If you dont believe in God and die to find out there is a God youll be sorry. If you believe in God and die and there isnt a God...you wont know anyway. So you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by believing. Ill wait for the Right-wing Christian nut-job defense.

    @ MaxOverlord

    So your scientific argument is that there has to be a god/creator to have started life. So how did the god come into existence and then how did his "creator"? What scientific evidence do you have?
    If scientific reasoning regarding this is absurd, surely it must be equally absurd that a god came about suddenly out of nothing. I will not accept the "he has always existed" stance because although it's arguably possible for something to be never ending it always has to have a beginning.

    Your original statement was berating scientist because they couldn't accept god. So offer up scientific evidence.

    Science and faith are not the same subject.

    Oh and the whole "lawgiver" when describing the creator thing made me smile.................

    The lawgiver was an orangutan from the planet of the apes series

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Yea give us some scientific evidence that will be changed in 10 years and will change 10 years later.

    Anyone else come to the point that sometimes scientists just seem to be grasping at straws because they are afraid to say "I don't know"? I mean come on, they still keep changing their minds whether or not eggs are good for us.

    Is that your proof that god exists?


    Science is a constant search, it's a constant questioning. Scientist are always saying "we don't know" that's why they search for answers. Some things can be conclusively proven others the search goes on. Find one scientist in the evolutionary field that claims "we have all the answers". The point is that without evidence a scientific conclusion or even just a theory cannot be achieved.

    Faith in a creator is a set belief that is without question. This doesn't mean it's correct. Heck religion encompasses many faiths with many different ideas as to how life came about. All based on faith without proof.

    As I said science and faith are different subjects. You can't reach a scientific conclusion based on faith, there has to be evidence.

    To bad that from the same evidence, different conclusions can sometimes be made.

    And what's your point?

    That your "creationist" and your "scientific evidence" are both complete and utter bullshit. No one knows, no one will ever know unless you travel through time. Either way you look at it, odds are you are wrong.
