I should stop reading and posting. Really I wish people wouldn't throw down the gauntlet by calling everyone that believes in God a mindless moron. But you are right its much easier to just roll over and take than it is to actually stick up for yourself.
Ninjas, I'll leave you to your beliefs because I think I derailed this thread enough. You do have an interesting point of view so I might PM you later to pick this up. Ah yes happy holy-days everyone whatever you believe =)
That guy is a nut job. I can't believe people actually watch that trash show. Hah- I just watched part of the clip. Doesn't O'Reilly realize that "liberal" retailers he listed such as Costco and Wal Mart actually donate more money to the Republican party than the Dems by a HUGE margin. He should really take more care to…
Hey I got a joke Q:How do we know Adam wasn't black? A:No one, even God, would try to take a rib from a black man. I agree that ID shouldn't be taught in science class. But while evolution is being explained it should be mentioned as a possibility to introduce the options they have. One thing I've noticed in all this…

This is why most mathematicians don't even argue here. The chance that someday on a freshly formated harddisk we find a better…
1) The thing about the New Testament is that, in large part, it supercedes the Old Testament. The "God's an asshole" complaint inevitably comes from the Old Testament; Christ changed many things. I can get into the theology and sociology of why this is so, but I don't know that it would serve much point. 2) Again to cite…
I think it's only really not a faith-based organization if you ignore the idea of a god completely. I don't see a reason to think about the existence of god any more than I see a reason to think about the existence of invisible flying noodle creatures or that everything is just a dream. As soon as you start arguing about…
[ QUOTE ] @JKMakowka: Don't you agree that you need ribosomes too to synthesise those polypeptides? RNA itsself is useless. And you also need the DNA as a source for the RNA information.
