Yes, except if we don't do what he wants he says he'll send us to hell.


Yeah, sure, you guys do whatever you want, but if you don't do what I want, I will MAKE YOU PAY WITH HELLFIRE !

I personally think that Darwin's theory of evolution is fact, as there is a lot of scientific proof that evolution is real. In some places you can see selective breeding happening, such as there being different colour variations of the same species of animal e.g. sand coloured lizards in the desert, green lizards in forests. I think it is highly unlikely that God created the world in seven days, as who was there to see him do it? There is no proof whatsoever that God created the world.

Well, evolution has been proven. Mainly just between animals, and within species.

It's just the theory of evolving from apes, which people are unsure about.

Actually we've seen it beyond the species level, too. We're sure it happens at all levels.

For God's sake boy, just SHUT UP.
A) It's probably not the schools' fault you can't spell and don't know where commas go in numeral notation. You're just a lazy idiot who never bothered to learn.
B) Saying you're right because you know you're right doesn't mean anything.
C) You made the claim, YOU prove that the people who died in New Orleans DIDN'T love God. Otherwise, feel free to shut up or you're going on report for violating the Gaia's Terms of Service.
D) You don't know what evolution is. Read this and this and this. Once you have absorbed all that, then come back and discuss evolution with us. Until then, you simply DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. Period.
E) Being Christian does not excuse you for being a belligerent dumbass. Educate yourself before you strike up an argument, and don't argue like an idiot.

Don't even bother to respond until you've read the links and can discuss this subject on a maturity level somewhere near that of a middleschooler.
This is the Morality and Religion subforum of Extended Discussion. We have standards for discussion that you're not following. If you don't feel like trying to live up to those standards, feel free to leave for Chatterbox where nobody cares what you say or how you say it.

By the Goddess, you took the words right out of my mouth. *applauds*

Jonathonm980 you're a moron. Please for your own good, don't say anything else until you know how to make a decent, structured reply that actually is worth our time. And how the hell did Orleans get brought into this? This isn't even about that for christ's sake.

I was going to say something on topic then but it's completely slipped my mind with all this ranting going on... Let me think...
Ah yes.
Would those that belive in the Creation rather than Evolution care to explain their ideas in more detail please? It seems to me that we've heard lots of dumb one liners the last few pages from you-know-who and the real subject of this thread has been... somewhat lost. We've heard plenty from the Evolution side of things, but how about the reasoning behind the Creation?

Aside from the "God is real. The Bible says so, so it's got to be real" crap, does anyone have anything better?

Creationist arguments against Evolution and for Creation tend to be logical fallacies, selective listening, pseudoscience, and dismissal of evidence because it doesn't fit with a literal interpretation of Scripture.
Here's a list of common (and a few less common) Creationist claims, with rebuttals by mainstream science. It also has a link to a Creationist response to the list with counter-counter claims.

I can prove theres a God.

Jonathonm980

God was always there.

Jonathonm980

*wiggles fingers*

So's my a**.

Jonathonm980

He said "let there be light" and there was light.

I've done that before, I was standing by a light switch.

Jonathonm980

Here, Just for the heck of it, read the bible and learn of others religion.

You first, Read the Upanishads or maybe the Gita I'd suggest the Enuma Elish cus didn't you know we are acctually Ra's wet dream and we came into existance when he jerked off?

Jonathonm980

then you would understand it. You dont need to believe it but just be aware.

That you're dim, yea just a little, we noticed that.

I've seen a lot of idiots.

It would seem that Jonny here can't tell the diffirence between "to prove" and "to claim".

I bet you can't prove that evolution isn't real...

as for not seeing evolution it takes several million years... incase you missed that memo...

several million years for a monkey to turn into a man. oh wait thats right. monkeys dont live several million years.

I... can't even think of anything witty to say to this...
It is just THAT stupid.

You have now been backed into a corner and are replying with sarcastic remarks to deter any further conflict. If monkeys really did evolve into humans then it would happen alittle something like this.

Monkey A has a baby that is genetically alittle different than all the other monkeys and that monkey's offspring are a lttle different too. The cycle continues for several million years and a few climate changes and thus Mankind (the ultimate evil) is born!

well if that was how it went then how come it dont still happen today.

psst...
