Okay, just had to play the part of WBC so they could have their section. Anyway, fundies are retarded and even I, a devout Christian, laugh in the face of most of their arguments. They swing the hammer hard toward the right wing and forget how to control it with logical thinking.
In germany I never met someone saying stupid things like that, if you choose catholic religion as a class you get taught how to read the bible and what it means and so on.
In america I once met a priest who said "why does it have to be the one or the other? Why isn't it both? Couldn't god have created the universe with a big bang? And then evolution made the rest" I think that pretty much makes most sense unfortunetly he got "fired" or whatever you could call that.
Even in the Garden of Eden God created Adam from the dust of the earth, this could be referencing to the bacteria ect, thus alluding to our origin from single-celled organisms.
i just have to ask one thing though... if all that time was only 7 days what day do you suppose we're on for him now? like day 8 1/2?
btw thanks for the 50% :D tis much appreciated
Okay, three objections here. First, saying that evolution is 'just a theory' is an extremely weak argument - one needs to define theory, since the theory that Darwin developed is based upon evidence, observation, research and testing. Plus the evidence for it has been observed by biologists by 150 years. One could equally say that the Genesis story is just a theory, and you'd be closer to the truth with that one, since the only thing it's based upon is a few hundred lines in the bible, which unlike evolution has no tangible definitive evidence whatsover. Of course it's still possible, but evolution is far more tangible.
Second, let's just say, I hate god. I don't necessarily disbelieve in him, but i can't stand him.Being a political anarchist, the idea of a 'divine' being, automatically having dominion over humanity and being able to direct it according to his every whim, to me is disgusting. According to the esteemed theorist Bakunin - God necessarily leads to the enslavement of humanity. Why must we follow his rules, and without question? Why should his authority not be questioned? Because we'll be punished for eternity? Sounds somewhat fascist to me. Allowing us free thought and expecting us to stay faithful is somewhat paradoxical.
Third, what is to say that Satan is the adversary of humanity? A desire for freedom seems quite reasonable from my perspective. What is to say that he is not simply the embodiment of the basis of human nature? Even if neither god nor satan exists, I ask myself, why should i follow christian ideals, where it leads me (apparently) to an ideal that simply isn't there or is not truly good for me? Satan, on the other hand - even if he doesn't exist, is a symbol, he represents freedom - for what many humans desire. For me, it's a far more preferable option than a divine dictator.
Oh shit a snip-
Do I believe in evolution? I honestly don't know yet because I haven't come to a conclusion, but even if I did, it isn't against my religion to do so. Science and religion CAN coexist, contrary to "popular" belief.
Unfortunately, the only religious people that talk about religion are the idiots that have no clue about anything, and they are the only ones that are listened to. I'm Muslim, and my best friends are either a religious Protestant, Buddhist, Hindu, or Judaism. Not even joking.
tl;dr- Sorry for stupid religious people, some of us are still decent.
Edit: This is pretty goddamn funny.
Edit: The downrates only fuel my snark.
I won't though. I got bored enough reading some arguments, I don't need to start anymore so I will finish with this
You are looking at this in black and white, saying either gravity must exist or gravity must not exist, when really there's a third option that says gravity can exist, but not how we currently understand it(2). Though we may be 100% right about gravity, it can only hinder scientific advancement if when someone suggests that a theory may not be 100% accurate we automatically say they're wrong and call them dumb. Even today, gravity is being challenged by respected people in the scientific community(1), and though they may be right or wrong, it can only be beneficial as something new will be learned either way.
Now, I know #8 is not suggesting an alternative, but reminding people that theories, even ones widely accepted and based on evidence, can still be wrong; and this post is implying he is stupid for that. Again, this sounds like it was taken out of context and #8 is a reply to someone who assumes evolution is fact without even acknowledging that it may not be accurate; otherwise I see no reason why someone would just randomly say that.

(I have NO problems with religion unless the people who have a faith only use it to do what I just described)
also, i like that Beardy character. His 'Go read Genesis 3' makes me grin for some reason.
Edit: As I said, the downrates are like candy. It shows you're angry that your beliefs are flawed.
I am not a religious person but don't like being called atheist either, though that is probably how most people would describe me. I choose to believe that evolution is the mechanism by which we became the dominate species on the planet. Sure there are some parts of the theory that haven't been worked out yet, but there is so much information and research out there that it is pretty conclusive. Some fundies might say that evolution makes us apes but that only shows how little they understand the theory. They also like to say that we are a special creation of a god and all that. Well if that makes you feel good, alright. But I think evolution puts it better, instead of us being a bunch of little children that get smiled upon by a benevolent parent it makes the case that our species, in only a very short timeframe (geologically speaking) branched off from other hominids, not only survived, but thrived, in a brutal environment, out witted all sorts of predators, overcame incredible dangers, to become the dominate species on the planet. In other words, we earned our place here. (Insert de-evolution joke about fat lazy americans here).
Religion may have given a reasonable idea of creation back in the day, but now we know a whole lot more and have proven it through the sciences. I have asked people of different religions about why they are a certain religion and they usually say something along the lines of 'accepting Jesus or whoever as their savior,' etc, etc. And then I ask what religion their parents are, and what do you know? Their parents are the same religion. They probably aren't a certain religion because they believe a certain way, but because that is what they were taught since childhood and cannot think differently. Whereas the sciences you have to think critically to understand how things work, and theories have to be continually challenged. But challenging the status quo in religion is not permitted. Evolution/science is a much more engaging way to understand our origins, it requires more thinking:)
But at least most religious people are not like these crackpots. Or like this guy, Ted Haggard. Lead a huge church, was always going on about how this and that is evil, blah, blah, blah. Then he gets kicked out of his church after being busted for having gay sex while on meth!
WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
