		<description>@Joe

If you believe that &quot;something not alive cannot spawn something that is alive &quot;, then you cannot logically believe that an &quot;alive&quot; god appeared out of nothing and then proceeded to create more life out of nothing.  Of course, you can illogically believe that this exception took place.  That is Unreasonable Faith.</description>

		<description>@StratTele
&quot;soul&quot; and &quot;spirit&quot; ??
What scientific evidence can you quote for the demonstrable existence of &quot;these&quot;?

&quot;Conscience&quot; -- yes. Awareness of self and ability to think, analyse and imagine. Our marvellous brains enable us to do that. But when we die, and the brain dies, so does consciousness.

We become what we were before we were conceived. So make the most of this life. It is the only one we have.

Don&#039;t think so? Evidence, please.</description>

		<description>Let me start by saying that i am only 15, but have been fortunate enough to have grown up in a family that does not force its beliefs upon me.

Let me start by saying not only that evolution is probable, but is in fact unavoidable. Evolutions are simply mutations on an organism, useful or otherwise, that happen purely by chance or due to living that force these changes upon a creature.

 For example in very hot conditions, incresed pigmentation in the skin. This trait will eventually be passed onto the offspring of that creature. Or even a random mutation, sprouting from the creature that, if useful, will once again be passed onto the offspring.

I apologise in advance for any grammatical or spelling errors that may have occured in this comment. As i said im 15 and in high school, and barely a senior at that.</description>

		<description>Can someone please summarise the 18 pages worth of useless banter between people who think they&#039;ll get into heaven if they argue on enough forums versus people who think they&#039;ll magically instill higher iq&#039;s by repeating reason that has not been understood in the first place?

Thank you.</description>

		<description>To say there absolutely is no god(s) is just as foolish as to say there absolutely is a god(s). I stand behind science 100% with all that it can tell us. Even if some scientific ideas turn out to be false later in our existence, that&#039;s just how the universe works. We have always been wrong and we probably are wrong with plenty of ideas we have today. I believe evolution brought us and the world to what it is today but there is still something that bothers me. Life itself. What makes something alive, what gives us a &quot;soul&quot; or &quot;spirit.&quot; (Please don&#039;t take those terms as religious terms) I believe this is something that is quite unexplainable (or maybe it is who knows) that it doesn&#039;t seem too ridiculous that something is behind it. On the other hand, it could just be a cosmic &quot;accident.&quot; I believe these are the best questions worth asking and I&#039;m happy that it stirs up intellectual arguments. I must say though, to completely deny something, whether it be god, science, or the idea of our soul/spirit, is something you cannot do if you are willing to find the answers to these questions.</description>

		<description>I encourage people to believe in creationism.  We need them to mop our floors, do our dishes, and take jobs that people with educations don&#039;t want.

Snarky?  Hell ya.  Tired of having to defend logic and reason?  More so.</description>

		<description>joe, if you denounce evolution, your an idiot. even your church now accepts it as reality.

&quot;nothing exploded&quot;

makes more sense than

&quot;there was nothing and then intelligence designed itself&quot;</description>

		<description>@M.D.Hensel: Pointless? yes. Will it stop them? No. Evolution undermines their beliefs because it implies that after life&#039;s creation their was no guiding hand but that of survival of the fittest. As you can see, this would put a hamper in the whole &quot;God created everything in 7 days&quot; thing.

@eric: Science and religion cannot coexist. Science is the search for truth, the absolute truth. Faith is a way to cover it up with old superstitions and outdated beliefs. They are polar opposites. One based in fact, the other in nothing but someone&#039;s word on it.

And from me to all those Intelligent Design believers out there: The burden of proof lies upon your shoulders. Bring me facts based on more than &quot;Well, what if?&quot;
Without evidence it is no more than baseless drivel. Science is not based on the inability to disprove a claim, but the ability to provide strong evidence in support of it.</description>

		<description>Correct me if I&#039;m wrong or this has been said,  but evolution has nothing to say about how things started.

Therefore, generally it is pointless for a creationist to argue against evolution?</description>

		<description>i will start of by saying that i am atheist.

i know there is some kind of spirit but there is no word for what i believe it really is.

as my proof i want anyone to simply think about the state they are in this very second, you are looking out of your bodies eyes, you have your own heart, mind, brain, emotion, and conscious. there must be something that determines what body your, for lack of a better word, spirit possesses.

but, this is not religious. it&#039;s rather stupid to think religion is in any way fact. it was and sadly still is a way for people that dont understand the quantum science of reality to explain where thing come from and to give there life some kind of meaning; as false as it may be.

it is proven there are multiple dimensions to reality. i think every person exists in every dimension but our minds are unaware of the connection to these realities. we are very primitive beings that have not been around for very long.

if you think about it it makes thing such as telekinesis plausible but very hard to do as it requires you to reach into a level of reality that is incomprehendable by our simple brains.

i wish religion was gone. i would end 90% of the worlds wars</description>
