Evolution...?

[ChumpDumper]

I've always believed in evolution.

There are just too many things that line up perfectly for there not to be God. Night, day, moon, stars, oxygen, plants, animals, sea, earth, humans, hierarchy when it comes to living things. There is noway anyone can tell me Bang and all this lined up to work perfectly. Get the outta here with that gabage.

I totally agree with that. The sperm and the egg.

There had to be some Designer, but how this was all done remains the mystery. There is too much evidence supporting evolution to not see that as a part of the process. Which doesn't sit well with the Bible thumpers.

[RandomGuy]

So all those who don't believe in evolution are wrong, right?

All those that ignore the available evidence, or choose to remain willfully ignorant are not maximizing their chances of constructing a view of the world that is accurate.

It does work both ways however, those who ignore all the evidence that us humans need a God in our lifes in most cases aren't dealing in reality. So we are left with just how does it all fit together, that is the mystery.

What evidence is there that we "need a God in our lifes"?

I am still waiting for evidence that such a being exists first.

Lastly, I would simply say that the Bible God is not a being that I would want in my life. That thing is ing insane and evil. I am morally superior to such a thing.

Well let's see....

Christmas
Easter
In God We Trust
I Swear To God
So Help Me God
One Nation Under God
A million churchs
BYU
Notre Dame
Dallas Baptist
Abilene Christian
Texas Christian
Oklahoma Baptist
Islam
Mormon
Buddism
Hinduism
Odin
Lutheran
Pentecostal
Jehovah Witness
Jupiter
Baptist
Catholic
Zeus
The Pope

...as starters.

If you are happy without any faith in anything, and don't need any God, cool. As we all know most people aren't like that. Most do prefer something more than..."oh yeah, well prove it, where's the evidence..huh? huh? "

Have a Merry Christmas

I don't really see any evidence there, just a long non sequitur.

Merry Christmas to you as well.

No way I can buy the Biblical account of mans origins, no way I can buy...BANG!!!!!!!!!!....so I go with a Designer, it appears that design included evolution.

Where do you believe this designer is right now?

Who designed him?

Merry Christmas to you as well.

So a nation that would never elect an atheist as it's president and one that celebrates the birth of Christ and has "In God We Trust" written on it's currency isn't evidence that this county wants a God in it's life? A nation that makes it very clear.."One Nation Under God"....isn't evidence that that nation wants God to be a reality?

I bet you were raised in a home that had God in it, right?

That wasn't the evidence that was asked for.

Why do you keep bringing up Bible God when you don't believe in him yourself?

[Avante]

This was what was said....

What evidence is there that we "need a God in our lifes"?

I did provide that evident. We have our leader needing to be a beleiver, we have relgious holidays, we have colleges/universities dedicated to religion. Our money..."In God We Trust". That is evidence that we want a God in our lives.

want is not the same thing as need

Why is this so hard for you? I thought you went to community college?

[Avante]

Where do you believe this designer is right now?

Who designed him?

At what point does it dawn on you or any of us that we simply aren't equipped to understand all this?

There was a time when us humans would have laughed at anyone telling us..."someday you'll be able to talk to your friends over those mountains". Try explaining airplanes to those who lived in 1559.

Just because something can't be explained that doesn't mean it can't exist.

We can't fault humans for what they have done to the Designer. So I don't. It doesn't really matter if you like vanilla/chocolate/strawberry, the fact is you like ice cream. This is no different, the bottom line is yes you believe in a supreme something.

Those statues on Easter Islands can't be explained, nobody has a clue how they got there or who is responsible for them, that doesn't mean they can't exist, obviously they do.

Doesn't mean a spaghetti monster can't exist either but it's not logical to think it does.

earth is literally a speck of a microscopic speck of a speck in this galaxy let alone this universe.

give your best guess as to why a designer created a huge universe but made us so ridiculously small and insignificant.

[Blake]

No, no evidence that we need an invisible friend to guide us through life.

People like security blankets, but don't need them. Plenty of evidence of happy successful atheists.

[Blake]

We can't fault humans for what they have done to the Designer. So I don't.

I fault humans for making this up and other humans for eating it up.

Who's logic? Why try and use our human limitations? As we have seen, the things we take for granted today weren't even in existant a 100 years ago. There will be things a 100 years from now that wouldn't appear logical today.

Try explaining the computer to an African village in 1888.

We simply aren't equipped to know all the answers right now, and we don't. But trying to go with logic when we know for a fact the logic of 2014 was nothing like the logic of 1814 makes no sense.

75% of Americans believe in a God. What does that tell you?

[Avante]

That's you. most disagree with that stance, as you know.


If you are happy living a ...bah humbug...existance, go for it, nobody cares. I want more than that so I have it.

[Avante]

The thing that gets me about all this is how important it is to others that you see it their way. When it should be obvious we are all individuals with different wants and needs.

I couldn't care less if you/anyone believes in the Jolly Green Giant, just don't try and sell him to me. This need to convert others over to your way of thinking is amusing. Why we see this remains a mystery to me.

I'm a Niners/USC fan, you need to make them your favorite teams also. That make any sense?

Sorry, but based on your posts that are flooded with logical fallacies, it's clear you don't understand how logic works.

Research logical fallacies, understand the concepts and then maybe, maybe it'll click for you.

that Americans like a security blanket?

many of those believe in Bible God. You the think the Bible is bull so what does that tell you?
