Evolution vs God. New viral vid has Atheists Pissed

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Do ANY of them deliver?

[decocker 7,198]

As we know there is a lot of deities to worship..... although not all deliver.

come on dude. you have to do better than that. obama isn't a deity and no one worships him.

way to take a picture out of on context.

suppose theists do that a lot, take an ancient text and twist it to fit the context of their current agenda..

You think you have won an argument, but for the life of me I can't work out what argument you think you have won. Could you possibly outline the argument that you have made so I can work out if in fact you have won it or not?

The charge was made that religion hinders science.

Historically I proved the opposite to be true, unless you can name for me a list of

-Great men of science not trained in Church institutions ... (often their research was funded by the church.)

-Name for me the Places in the world where Religion was not so dominate and tell us about the explosion of science that took place there?

-Even today, the Student schooled at home or in a Catholic or private school is more more advanced in the Sciences than a Public schooled kid though his education cost 2=3 times More and he has no Religion hindering his learning.

-Consider almost all our most top-shelf historic Universities, who founded them? A: The "enemies of education".

So we know Christians have invested in Education, where were the Non-religious at the time and why were they not interested in furthering science?

Should we teach Greek Mythology in a science class?

Well, why should we teach Christian Mythology then?

There you go. Religion hindering science.

Maybe you are right, I stretched the context of the photo.

It's not like people see him as a God or Savior.

I set you up like a bowling pin and you went right for it.

Are you saying you did not study Greek Mythology in School?

I thought every one did.

Guess my public school was a bit more rounded than yours.

And you never showed HOW entertaining different theories set anyone back... please show your findings (not that your speculation isn't interesting)

you and your youtube videos.

that's a little kid, what are you trying to prove again?

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Little kids also think Superman is real and look up to him.

Did your Science class teach Greek Mythology as a credible theory?

There's nothing special about Christian creationism that makes it any more credible, except its popularity. I'm perfectly happy with creationism being entertained as a myth, but not as a credible theory, unless we take every world creation story from every culture and give it the same credibility.

Why stop there? Let's teach about the Vimanas, or show kids episodes of Ancient Aliens in history class.

Sounds like your problem is with teaching theories.

Don't the people in any local have the right to include any number of theories in the classroom.

It's not like the theory of evolution is getting side-tracked or pushed out, it simply includes a theory which does answer the questions Evolution can't yet.

You didn't prove anything. You want me to prove something you said (with no references) wrong with my references. Here's how these things work. You say something, provide evidence, and I either agree or provide evidence to the contrary. You're just making claims with no evidence and asking others to disprove them. Sounds familiar no?

I proved Galileo was put under house arrest for questioning church doctrine with scientific observations. You said the same. So......... We agree right?

[RGinWA 816]

I love creationism.

It proves that a majority of the worlds population is partially delusional and believes in un-provable fiction and regurgitation of ancient oral tradition going back eons.

Without blind unwavering faith and fear of punishment, religion is just aesop's fables on steroids. Come on, at least Buddha was an actual person.

The three bears story is more plausible.

Again you haven't made an argument that makes any sense so for what it's worth you win again.

As you now know, the church inquired into the disagreement between scientists and backed up Big "G"... it wasn't until he went on to a matter concerning the Pope that he ran into trouble, he chose house arrest, he could have just left the church.

I would suggest the Pope was more kind then than most other scientists.... then and now.

You're dodging again.

I would like an explanation of the bold part. Evolutionary theory doesn't have any holes that I am aware of that can be filled by religious doctrine, if that is what you are saying, so please, could you let me know in what area of evolutionary theory are there missing pieces and exactly what are you filling them in with?
