Apparently you like to paint your kindred spirits with the same brush just as you enjoy doing to others.<BR/><BR/>Evolution is the only THEORY for the origin of humanity. Ergo, it is the best we have and essentially fact.<BR/><BR/>The seemingly evil-nature of certain individuals does not prove/disprove the existence of a god (of any nature). Just displays the wide variety of moral judgement/values by humanity. I don't know enough on this subject to postulate a reason for this. I know my bounds.<BR/><BR/>Science may or may not explain the shroud of Turin (I'll be honest I don't know what that is and am too lazy to google it), but that does not mean science is a foolish endeavor and thus specific - religion opposing theories/ideas are false. <BR/><BR/>Religion has been around much, MUCH longer than science and improperly explained many processes, events and objects which science has, in comparison, quickly explained - with logical and repeatable proof. We now take for granted many scientific advances, yet some ignore this and focus on the fact that science would love to advance Humanity further though it conflicts with archaic beliefs. <BR/><BR/>Now, to the author: Great post, great blog. You are bookmarked and I can't wait to read more of your posts. I'm curious as to what you prefer to call yourself; I'm an Atheist, but prefer the term Humanist seeing how my views essentially mirror those outlined in the Humanist Manifesto.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-32370200775448804142007-10-21T21:34:00.000-07:002007-10-21T21:34:00.000-07:00What are you talking about?

Such as the shroud of Turin.<BR/><BR/>Evidence: Scientists have throughly examined the shroud of Turin and have no idea how it could have been made.<BR/><BR/>Rationalization: Science can explain it, just not yet!<BR/><BR/>You say that science can explain everything, but not everything has been explained. So how are you so sure that science can explain everything if it hasn't done so already?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-32072909636153527302007-10-21T19:35:00.000-07:002007-10-21T19:35:00.000-07:00Evidence: Some self-proclaimed Bible scholars have...Evidence: Some self-proclaimed Bible scholars have said that they think the Bible says the universe is 6000 years old.<BR/><BR/>Rationalization: Then all people with any sort of faith must believe this!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Evidence: Through careful study and work, scientists have been able to provide supporting evidence for many facets of the general theory of evolution. There is still strong debate about how old the universe/earth really is, how long it takes for one species to evolve into another, and what mechanisms are involved in evolution. The theory of evolution is, like any good scientific theory, constantly changing as new data proves old ideas incorrect and suggests new ideas.<BR/><BR/>Rationalization: So evolution is a FACT!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Evidence: People are jerks that do mean things to each other and try to take advantage of each other. Other people are manipulatable, gullible, and eagerly participate in schemes for their own economic deprivation. <BR/><BR/>Rationalization: God must be at fault. .. no wait. . there must BE no god!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hey, was this supposed to be promoting rational thought, or hate speech? I'm confused! (not really, I'm just sarcastic!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
