    How so? Why would I study something I do not believe in and a subject that I do not care about? Do you usually read things that you have no interest in?
    you don't even know what it is, so there's no logical way to form an opinion about it. thats like saying i dont believe the revolutionary war happened, so why would i read a history book about it?

    I don't know about him, I don't usually do that, but sometimes I have to read things I have no interest in in order to gain a clearer understanding of it.

    Mind you, I don't particularly like doing that unless I feel it is necessary to make a point, or explain one, but mostly in order to better understand something.

    You have said that many times almost as if you are a parrot. I have a basic understanding of what evolution is. What is your definition of evolution? In your own words.

    I completely understand. But I really don't feel the need to make a point. If I wanted to I could go back to school and study Biology. But as I said before, I have no interest in it.

    What's your definition of it, in your own words? You know, since you have a basic understanding of it.

    I guess I'll go with random mutations.

    But you were asking him a question about me, so naturally I would reply to clear up any misconceptions you, or him, or anyone else might have.
    Again.... I was asking him... on top of that, you haven't answered stuff I've asked you in other threads.

    What do you mean how? I just said random seeing as evolution claims to have no purpose. If the mutation is beneficial it will eventually lead to a new species.

    Faith is dangerous....Inquisition, Holocaust, Peoples temple Jonestown massacre, Catholic sect of the ten commandments in Uganda, The branch at Waco TX, Heaven’s Gate, 9-11, etc etc. Fortunately, religion is tending to decline as humans get access to information and education worldwide.

    IMHO this is perfectly logical and rational.

    My only point was that there needs to be a good motivation to go further than what is comfortable to do, or what we would normally do, otherwise.

    "Many people in this country were shocked when the U.S. Navy recently announced the removal of all Bibles from military hotels under their control. This was in response to pressure from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a well-known atheist group."

    "The surprise is not the hypocritical stance of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, but rather the fact that an established bulwark of American strength and patriotism caved to a self-serving group of religious fanatics. The previous sentence may seem out of place if you don’t realize that atheism is actually a religion.
    Like traditional religions, atheism requires strong conviction. In the case of atheists, it’s the belief that there is no God and that all things can be proved by science. It is extremely hypocritical of the foundation to request the removal of Bibles from hotel rooms on the basis of their contention that the presence of Bibles indicates that the government is choosing one religion over another. If they really thought about it, they would realize that removal of religious materials imposes their religion on everyone else."

    Good. People can get their own bibles.

    It's actually your assumption. The fact is I do and simply don't feel like teaching you about it. Google it when you're interested.

    No, fact is you're being called out on your bull and can't even explain what you were accusing me of not knowing.

    What?

    Evolution is simply the change in populations of organisms over time.

    The mechanism, natural selection along with some other more subtle ideas that basically involve the exchange of, and change, in DNA. This is basically it. So where did the random part come in?
