*Grabs chocolate syrup, spoon, and jar of peanut butter*

Jeez... Get some common sense, people...

Homosexuality has been documented in over 450 different vertebrate species thank you very much. There are even species of animals that have gay orgies!

Could you please source this?

learn to google.

I hate how all of this gives the concept of believing in God such negative connotations...

There are gaps that we cannot cross between science and religion, but they are NOT mutually exclusive.

Science:

Gives people answers to things immediately observable, or at least somewhat known, such as history. It may sometimes contradict holy text X, but that's not what it's trying to do. Even then, everyone's perception of reality is completely different. Take the movie Vanilla Sky, for example - what he was witnessing was empirical, but it was a skewed view of the world. Even senses cannot answer everything.

Religion:

Is based on faith... if it works for you, then it's good for you. No one can tell you otherwise, because it's on a case-by-case basis. Science isn't as subjective as religion is. However, there is scientific evidence of the great flood regarding Noah, dinosaurs walking along the earth at the same time as humans, and the Egyptians getting crushed by the Red Sea. Furthermore, all prophecies in the bible to date have been fulfilled so far, and using inductive reasoning, exactly like what science uses, we can see that there is a high probability of the future ones coming soon, as well. Religion isn't as false or as blind as people say it is.

This is why I have a strong dislike for creationists. They make every christian look retarded. Atleast they don't blow themselfes up or drink baby blood, right?

Exactly. It's entirely possible to believe in science (and evolution) and God simultaneously. Well, not so much if you are a literalist, but for someone like me who takes religious writings as figurative, it's quite easy.

You've missed the 65 million year gap between Dinosaurus Rexs and Humanz.

silly dinosaur!

Sources?

While I don't doubt there is evidence for some sort of flood that was supposed to occur around the whole Noah ordeal, it's the other claims I have trouble with.  Dinosaurs never walked on the face of the Earth alongside humans.  Just didn't happen.  The earliest documented human remains don't even come close to the age of the dinosaurs.  As pointed out, there is a 60+ million year gap between the two.

The last bit I'm interested in more out of curiosity rather than falsehood.  What kind of evidence is there?  Egyptian artifacts found in the stratigraphic record in the Red Sea?  Little curious how they're evidence to prove how they were "crushed" by the Red Sea.

Woah, woah, woah. Keep in mind There's an entire world religion that thinks the Messiah hasn't even come yet. Plus... all? So Revelations, and everything? I think you need to define that a bit better.

Has anybody ever found an unbias site between non-religion and religion?


Also, that second link is interesting click 'problems with the bible' at the bottom of the page and click 'contradictions', some of those things i never thought about before.

Matthew 5:44  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Jesus shows his love to his enemies by sentencing them to eternal damnation in Hell.

Yeah, what the feck is up with that :\

[xtishereb]

Geo, you should totally get over to the clan forums and post your info. You don't need to give up sleeping, just spend 5 minutes and tell us about yourself.

On topic, every planet is similar. It's just that heavier matter is more common in the more dense parts of the solar system, hence why it collapsed on itself and formed the sun in the first place. My astronomy is a little bit fuzzy, but I think there was some fission action going on when the sun (or any other star) formed, explaining why it's mostly made up of light elements (Hydrogen and Helium, you can find out about fusion reactions on your own).
Also, lol @ "Uranus is on its side and rotates like a wheel." And they say they hate gays.
Gases dissipate rapidly in space and therefore gas giant planets are hard to make? Explain the atmosphere, jerks! What do you think it is, some kind of magical bubble powered by God's love for humanity?

I swear, was this made in the 1980s? The production values suck so much.

I think Bad Astronomy is good reading for anyone interested in how to refute commonly held yet wrong beliefs relating to astronomy.

Also, non-creationism is a fairy tale? What, and that some invisible, ompipotent being created the universe just for us isn't a fairy tale, not to mention incredibly arrogant and prideful?
Bwahaha, getting upset towards radical freakjobs is awesome. I've got no problem with people who don't create or support videos apparently designed to indoctrinate young children though.

EDIT: Opening jar of peanut butter...OMG MICROSCOPIC BACTERIA! DARWIN WAS RIGHT!
All of this reminds me of the arguments against continental drift.

Won't happen, religious people learn to take certain things on faith. Non-religious people seem to think that having faith about anything makes you an ignorant knuckledragger.

I didn't clarify it correctly. All of the ones that have happened... have happened so far. The ones that haven't will in the future.

[ghg]

Erm... ok. That's retarded.

Would you like to post anything relevant this time, or will you continue to be a hypocrite by posting something that is exactly what you described?

[a-4-year-old]

I don't think that either big bang theory or creationism should be taught in schools (which is the problem most christians have with the theory) Since it changes/updates faster than a linux distibution, schools would deplete their whole budget just getting accurate textbooks. And forget the bible as a textbook, what was that about church and state?

[Smegma]

Really!? Holy shit, all the ones that have happened HAVE!?

Well according to Quantum Theory thats correct and false!

[imacheater2k7]

Honestly, I can't watch this video because of my Dial-Up. But I believe my religious beliefs as an agnostic actually keep me from caring about any of this. My usual religious discussion involves 'Meh, I don't worship anyone. Sure there may be a god, but there's no etched-in-stone PROOF. Sure, we may have evolved from monkey-type people, but there's no etched-in-stone PROOF.' There is absolutely no completely absolving proof of anything involving religion or science, and there never may be. That's why I don't worry about this kind of shit.
