Re: Who is God to You?
That is the position of Earth in the universe. We are unimaginably tiny. Why would a being capable of creating that even care about us? Assuming you accept evolution as fact, what makes humans special enough to go to eternal paradise and not other creatures? Shouldn't chimpanzees or bonobos be able...

Re: Who is God to You?
69 answer me this, if religion and science are enemies then why am I a christian who loves science? That's a good question - why DO you claim Christianity, when you seem to believe all the things that go against the basic dogma of your religion? Have you read the bible, and seen how your god expect...

Re: Who is God to You?
Promised myself I would never enter this section of the forums... I've failed. But I find a lot of people who don't believe in God or dislike religious people seem to use arguments insisting that anyone who believes in a God or an after life thinks everyone else's ideas or views on religion are wro...

Re: Who is God to You?
Oh and ps: not all christians, atheists, muslims, etc. are true to the general stereotype image commonly given them.

Re: Who is God to You?
This has turned into a debate about evolution, which anyone can learn about, as Google's a thing. asi just clearly doesn't want to learn anything different than what he already "knows." So let's turn this back around to the existence of a god. I want to see what actual scientific proof exists that ...

Re: Who is God to You?
The starting sample was all identical. It was then divided into several groups, which were all identical. Later on, they were all different. You seriously think that there was that much variation in the original population? Also, there is no such thing as microevolution. After 50,000 generations I ...

Re: Who is God to You?
Well, I'm sort of waiting for asi to respond to my post concerning the Richard Lenski E. coli experiment. This experiment shows about 50,000 generations of bacteria and the only result is a little bit of micro-evolution (which I believe in). After 50,000 generations you should typically see somethi...

Re: Who is God to You?
You can't prove that God either exists or does not exist, so why argue about it? The only thing we can be sure of is that these discussions typically end up being the ramblings of zealous believers and deniers who have a need to feel more intellectually superior than the other. Because of things li...

I don't think I'll wade into this myself, but I would like to point out that Hitler did not do what he did in the idea that he was developing science.

Re: Who is God to You?
The big bang was not the start of the universe. The big bang is an explanation for the expansion of the universe from a central point where all of the matter in the universe was in a very dense state. Then what was the start of the universe? Scientists are currently unsure. However, there is eviden...

Simple answer: I don't know, and I don't think anybody else does either. The idea of existence before the universe, before matter, and before time is so alien to me I simply cannot grasp it. But I am forced to conclude that something must have caused the big bang, and your guess is as good as mine....
