They discover new species all the time. Not due to evolution though, a big part is we have only explored 5% of the oceans. |

If there is a God, and he's a perfect being (not narcissistic, vain etc), I have a feeling he would forgive me for not worshipping him, and living a "good" life instead (or at least trying my best). At any rate, to believe in God you need to have faith, and I'm more of a fact based guy. If you got faith, then all the power to you and with all sincerity, I hope it all works out for you, I certainly would never wish ill on anyone for following their beliefs in a religion that promotes good will to their fellow man (which I believe Christianity does...and other religions as well ). |

Interesting side fact is that we all have genetic mutations, genes we did not get from either parent. Each of us has a small handful of these and most are relatively insignificant. |
To answer the original post: why are the two separated? I'm a creationist but why is that limited to a snap of the fingers? I believe the earth can be billions of years old. Evolution, Big Bang etc are all things God could have used to get this place started. I don't know why on Earth they have to be a separate argument. If you think the earth is 6000 years old you need to go back and read Gensis 1: 1 and 2 again.
To those who don't believe in creation, that's fine I'm not here to argue. Simply to state my belief. I respect your opinion, you respect mine. |
I'll have to watch the show.

[Let me put my flamsuit on here] The most profound theory so far is the virus. The idea that viruses invade our bodies, inject themselves into our cells, and change our DNA. If the host survives, and the virus gets into the sperm or egg and creates another human with the virally changed DNA. |
Mankind evolving from apes ....
hilarious !
some suggested reading for those with an open mind. https://books.google.ca/books/about/...er&redir_esc=y TBD PS .. this book stands entrenched academic historic belief -- on its head ! |

This is the stupidest thread ever. I am a Pastafarian and nobody can prove me wrong!!!! FSM Rules All.

I find it interesting that some of the greatest minds in physics are now starting to believe in a creator, perhaps not "god" in the traditional sense but some thing/someone/some power that organized the potential chaos in the universe into the unlikely universe we live in.

Do you think the people that wrote the bible thousands of years ago had any understanding of what the world was? When they looked up at the sky, how did they explain the stars? The moon? The sun? They believed that the earth was the center of the universe - but that's been proven incorrect. Science has always suspected - theoretically and mathematically that every galaxy has a black hole in it's center. That has been proven true, telescopes today can see through all the dust and peer into the center of our own galaxy. But yet, as science makes major jumps - Christians claim that God must have created that. How did we go from the earth being the center of everything - to God created everything? How is belief in God and the bible able to evolve with science? |
One day, everyone of us will know the answer to the question. We will either see our loved ones again or not.
I only go to church for weddings and funerals. Even though I was raised going to a Lutheran church, I walked from the idea of going to a building with a pointy roof to believe in something in my mid teens. Since then, my church is a cut line, a bike ride or a road trip for work where I can be by myself and my thoughts. This belief in something was not brain washed into me by zealous Pastors and parents. My mind is open to a lot of stuff and there is no question the Dino's and other fossils found contradicts religious timelines. And I can't truly explain why I believe. It's just there. So, I like to think we will see each other again. If that belief helps me close my eyes for the last time or mourn the loss of someone special by just a bit, nothing wrong with that Imo. If I do and you don't, I'm ok with that. We don't have to :argue2: or :fighting0074: about it. If we don't agree, it would not mean we can't be friends. Until the day comes to meet your maker as they say, the debate will never be won, kinda like coke vs pepsi. |

Third page, no lock, I'm pleasantly surprised.
Carry on. Lots of YouTube resources on this, by people with more education than years I've been alive, more so than a Google search. Watch the video markg posted - at the very least it will make one think a little harder. |

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...7c0859ba17.jpg Looking at this thread's poll results, it's disturbing to see the number of creationists who lurk here. I thought this was Western Canada ... not backwoods Alabama! Sad :( Selkirk |
Its a lock !
94 to 35 but 3 pages is impressive ....no one has thrown out
any Hitchenisms . As most , my knowledge on evolution and natural selection is suspect but I absolutely know everything I need to know about Religion . Poisoned and killed more humans than all the plagues And natural disasters put together , since the beginning of recorded time . When you start quoting the book of fairytales as if they were fact that's a derail . |

Do you have any evidence you'd like to share that supports your belief in evolution? |
Ok. I'm outta here.

If you think the Bible is a fairly tale, that's fine, but maybe post something a bit more concrete and insightful than religion has "Poisoned and killed more humans than all the plagues and natural disasters put together". Even if true, whats the point of it? Alcohol, cigarettes, McDonald, automobiles, etc. likely have as well, directly or indirectly. A fairy tale, when was the last time people killed each other over Beauty and the Beast, Sword and the Stone, Frozen, etc., pretty sure there is a bit more there than a "fairy tale". |
