Creationism is false because it can\'t be proven right?

Nah, where\'s the fun in that.

Seek to understand others, before seeking to be understood.

The thing people fail to realize is that it is so easy to do the above.  Once you realize everything is as it is whether we label it or not you come to realize it exist and will continue to exist without understanding.

Things are as they are as they will be.

There...it\'s alot more cool though.

You are being sarcastic, right?

People should just be opened minded and less defensive.  I attend church every sunday and I am a practicing Christian.  But at the same time, I kind of believe in this whole evolution thing.  It just makes sense more so than God creating everything.
bacteria > fish > reptiles > mammals

We all kind have simliarities and there is some factual evidence which supports natural selection and evolution.  Unless you consider the Bible factual information, creationists have nothing but hope and faith.

EDIT: birds are from reptiles, didn\'t work in spacing

No, actually I have heard of this guy too.  He put what he thought would have been on primitive earth at the time life would have "caught on"  Things like Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Oxygen... and i think a few others along with some dirt and some bacteria started to grow.

Are you sure it was a bacteria?

Couldn\'t that also lead credence to an argument for creation?

Or maybe it was emboas or something  (A - ME - BAS) but it was defintaly living according to my AP Biology teacher.

Here swifdi; my REAL thoughts.

Religion is a guess. They created religion because man wanted to believe someone else was in a higher power, that their was a reason to live.

Science is a guess. They created science because man wanted to believe in something else, and not a higher power.

I myself think this; Why care? When we die we shall soon find out. Our lives are trivial. We go do the same things every day, and believe their is something better out their, we want to believe their is something out their. The meaning of life is to reproduce; to spread our genes onto to the next, to create a type of "immortality".

I have changed my thoughts on this completely in the last week or so, so dont take anything from the past and bring it unto me. I believe in what I believe now- Hmmm, just like how you can make someone else believe something so easily: Religion, Science ring a bell?

Its pointless to try to figure it out. Everyone thinks they know the answer. No one does, no one has the answer, no one will ever have the answer. We try to prove something right, when it isnt. Its all trivial, its all something mental, its pointless.

Dont get me wrong, I believe religion is an amazing tool. It brings people together as one humble body, but science can do the same too. I believe both are like a left and right hand to grasp the concept of life.

Ha ; I used my brain, or part of it.

BTW: My paragraphs summed up: Why do you have to believe in something? Why not live your life, when you die you will eventually figure it out, and spending your life arguing about it will just waste time.

Meh... I hate science.

*shakes fist at C+ in Chem II*

Well without science you would be a rotting carcass of flesh by now.

I know Religion can help people through hard times, but as does science. Without science after your first Cold you could be dead.

Without science you couldnt gel your hair, or your girlfriend couldnt wear lipstick.

Science causes problems, as does all things- but in reality everything has a purpose, and yet no purpose at all. Science is useless, but is a tool to live our lives more thouroughly and enjoyable.

Religion does exactly the same.

I wonder why topics like this come up...they all lead to the same thing and the same people argue about the same thing.  

I guess Samurai tried to avoid this by trying to narrow the topic down but it always broadens into "God created everything or Evolution created everything."

Look guys,  before posting in a post like this,  first, know your facts.  I see posts in this topic that show a complete ignorance of evolution and creation.  So how can you try to debate when you are not sure what both sides say?

And another thing,  these type of discussions are usually useless.  You aren\'t going to change a personal belief like evolution or creation on a Internet message board.

But I know posts like this will continue,  some,  like this,  will have good intentions but will always turn to crap.  You won\'t go far before someone insults another\'s beliefs.  I\'ve done it lots of others have done it.

I\'m not going to even bother to explain my beliefs or whatever.  If you want to know why I believe in the Genesis acount search for my Origin of Life post.  I said all I ever needed to say there,  well at least half of it

I agree, endless argument. No one will win.

Anyone want cookies?

Nor should one attempt to.  I believe it is interesting to see another worldly perspective so to speak so if anything just take away that you learned about someone else.

SER, what kind ya got?

Cookies rock!


*busts out keg of milk.

Woohoo! Hooray for killing threads!
