Looks like faith did her a lot of good.  I guess Jesus was too busy to help her this time.

I can write a story with real people and real places that is purely fictional. The events described in the Bible cannot be corroborated by saying, "well look, these people and places really existed." And as far as prophecies go - how can you be certain that these things weren't written after the...

So then are you saying that god has no free will? Your reasoning suggests that you are, since you believe god can do no wrong.

Tasty, there are a number of reasons for my thinking, but I'll go over some of the more important ones. Let's start with the story of Adam and Eve. God forbids them to eat fruit from the single tree. If he is in fact omniscient, he knows that they will disobey him, but he makes the rule anyway...

I like how those engravings portray humans and dinosaurs having friendly interactions. Humans must have had a good relationship with the dinosaurs back then. Here is one thing that CAN be proven to be incorrect in the Bible: God supposedly limited man to 120 years of age, but there have in fact...

TastyWheat, I don't care about Pascal's Wager. While I cannot be certain that a god doesn't exist, I am quite certain in my mind that if one does exist, he is not what or who you say he is. I am not the least bit worried about some eternal damnation or punishment; if god exists, you know nothing...

Evolution is one of the best theories science has ever come up with. You don't find human bones in the same strata as those of dinosaurs or trilobites as creationism would suggest you would. There is a good reason for that. Creationsim has absolutely NO empirical support, but, nonetheless, you...

And you know this how? I beg to differ. I say no one will go to heaven. No one will go to hell. You will die, and that will be it. God and heaven are a fantasy as far as I'm concerned.

Well, there you go. You people had better convert to Catholicism lest ye be damned. Leo Volont warned you before, and now it's Mel Gibson.

Hey Eon, what games have you been invlolved in developing? Any that I might know of?

The idea that is presented in Christianity and most religions is that of a bribe. God says "you be good, you follow my rules, and I will reward you with the big prize at the end; and those that don't follow along can go to hell." Everyone who believes this load is looking for the big score at...

Atown, the question I asked was about intersexuals and who they should have the right to marry.

Interesting that no one has an answer to my question. I guess "god" didn't think of that one.

So does anyone actually believe that Half Life 2 will come out in April as they previously stated?

What about intersexuals? Who are they allowed to marry?

And what kinds of selection pressures do you think are acting against flies in a laboratory, exactly? There is no reason you would see them change significantly.

Well then it's a good thing that scientists don't claim that. Evolution is about many small changes leading up to big ones over time, and those changes can go in different directions leading to several new species eventually being formed from a single common ancestor. Lion, can I ask you what...

Ok, this is for anyone who thinks that churches should be the only institution that can grant marriage status to a couple: do you think it would be OK for a couple of atheists to go to a church and get married there if they wanted?

There have been crop circles found where molecular changes have taken place within the plants at the site of the formations. Don't tell me this was caused by some dude with a plank. Some of these formations go beyond what any human could do. There are no firm explanations for these right now...

Suvival of the fittest doesn't necessarily refer to individuals. It has more to do with passing on genes that will help the species to survive, not the individual. I hope you can see that co-operation and helpfulness would be beneficial to the human species, helping it to survive. I think it...
