I think that's the view believers should hold.

No need to weaken the legitimacy of the idea of god in your mind by forcing yourself to ignore the large body of evidence that supports evolution.

I just want to understand the platypus, god or no god.

Enough said. Its invented to control people in a more easier way. People will always prefer to go by laws from above then by human laws. There's nuthin more to it, IMO. Plus, some people cant cope with death, that after they die there is...nothin. So they decide to believe in a higher power.

On topic.
I totally support Darwin's theory. I even wrote 30 pages regardin his theory (back in highscool), but I dont feel like discussin this right now, since its 2 AM here... :sweating:

Well said.

and also,... who is ''God'' ... take religion out of it, god could be anybody or ne thing.. other than from the bible i mean.. maybe another specie or power, .. but one thing is for sure, there is someone or somehting that is controlling us, n im not onlly talking about the government, maybe they know whos doing this is and what their reason or motives and do what they say to do.. or they know n hide it from us, so they have power n continue to control the world.. n well, i have a feeling that we r going towards a caos or the end.. i might sound confusing but, i would love to write more another time, can never say all at once :( lol

I was debating with a creationist few days ago and the dude 100% thinks that there's no evidence for evolution. I gave him transitional fossils, DNA and genes, he refused to believe any of it. Instead, he copy-pasted AnswersInGenesis for his arguments haha. The dude is a fucking tool and continually proselytized during the debate. He always goes back to the "I just know, and someday you'll see Jesus loves you and until you accept him, you're going to rot in Hell" bullshit.

somebody above, forgot his name wrote:Enough said. [religion] is invented to control people in a more easier way. ]


yeah, some... maybe, but just a few.

Religion is invented as a method of understanding. And people should be free to direct themselves into that which they find more pleasing, and thats that, there's no other way around it. Nobody can know whats right or wrong so they make religions to try balancing the ideas, although some bastards have to, like in everything; exaggerate shit until the point of desperation.

Exactly my view.

mine too, I believe in God, but also in science I dont understand why ppl cant accept both, religious ppl say everything was created in 7 days why are they so arrogant to think 7 of our own days, maybe 1 day for god is like 1000 mill years for us?


Because that's what one day means - 24 literal hours.

I don't believe in God, nor do I believe in science. I think that's a wrong choice of words. I put my full TRUST in science, there's nothing to believe in. The way it works, the thinking, the skepticism, the inquiry, the questions, the hard work, the meticulous doctrine of peer review... science is the best tool we have to understand the Universe, not just resort to the "God did it" argument.

I'm an agnostic that believes in evolution. I would say I lean more towards an atheist.

From the bits I've looked on it, the beginnings of religion were created to explain where people came from, how they got here etc, and that's where Christianity and every other religion in the world came about. IMO, modern-ish day religion was a tool created to control people.

That's an interestig way to look at it. I've contemplated this in the past.

The majority of schools here in the US teach science, and not creationism.
