That was my point. Atheism doesn't encourage murder, but tell me where the bible encourages mass murder as memammal seems to think. So somebody makes up a random number, applies it to the bible, and for that reason it isn't true. Hopefully, you don't see any logic in that memammal. I'm sure you do though. And I know zip about evolution. Never studied it.. I have the jist of it and that's it, so it was a ligitament question. Thanks for the answer.

A large number of evil acts have been committed by atheist extremists. Lots of evil hints have been done by none religious people. What I'm saying is that our religion doesn't tell us to murder everyone, or torture them in the name of our god. In the name of atheism lots of evil has been done too. 6000 years... Where the heck did you pull that number out. Please note that in the bible, when listing names,father son ect, they often skip quite a few generations depending on the long line of ancestors, and the ones named were usually the "memorable" ones. This changed through out the bible. People die for many reasons. Some government laws people die over for no reason in other countries. Just because people die from something doesn't make it evil. Also, quick question. Why are the native Americans even humans? After being separated for lon periods of time aren't species suppose to become 2 different species? This is an actual question BTW.

I, the religious bigot would like to make a statement. I have been gone for 3 weeks and spent two of those n Brazil helping the poor starving people there. A christian mission trip, so I'm sure your going to point out all the wrongs in that. Anyways, back on topic. Christians always have an option. If they didnt, then most of the would would be christian. And since its OBVIOUSLY christians running around in suicide vests. And flying headfirst into sky scrapers. You wouldnt possibly be profiling anybody there could you? Muslim christian Hindu. Your a religist. Or something like that. Like racist, but for religion. Your profiling all of us religious bigots on what you believe we are like. Also, why couldn't Adam and eve be the first humans? Your gunna throw in evolution, but if there was a God, and he did make them, does evolution say that's not possible? No where in the bible does it say anything about evolution. Doesn't say its not there. Doesn't say it is. As for downsides, isn't circumscision healthy? And while I have to agree that some religions are bad, I don't feel christianity is one of them. Also, moontanman, one of the religions that doesn't force everyone to join their religion, is Christianity. Of course somebody's gunna argue against that, but oh well, it true, and I'll proved it if you don't believe me. The Bible is against human anger. It talks about kindness and understanding and helping others. Then some people come in and try to turn it into a demon religion.

And it STILL doesn't prove anything. And this is where I would like to correct you. Medical science, is science that is used for medical purposes. Not for making sure evolution lines perfectly with what is fact. Since you will absolutely refuse everthing I say, I'll add links and let you read it. http://www.evolutionnews.org/2015/05/does_medical_sc096371.html And really, when, is evolution required inside of a medical emergency? Besides bacterial resistance I fail to see much of a connection. Many sciences you mentioned, not all, but many, were used quite effectively without evolution even being known. Now I'm not downing evolution. Its real, its here, and it can teach us stuff. But the giant amount of importance you placed on its head is surreal. Proof of moral sciences and many more, can be seen by looking at how old civilizations controlled their people. The romans, made their enemies seem like monsters to the people, which made the people a little bit happier to support the army. Inside the army motivational speeches were regularly made to keep the army motivated(moral science). And I dought they thought about evolution much. I gtg

According to memammal there IS no definition. Then he gave his idea of why what people think it is is wrong. I gave my own definition because he seemed to have a flawed idea of it. Also, you understand what sentience is right? Because according to you every living thing is sentient. Except maybe a jellyfish.... As it seems, he's obsessed with evolution in an almost un-natural way. Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I still think we're the only species on our planet who are sentient. The link he gave had a 404 not found error, so I couldn't look into it. But from the links name, it seems like evolution says humans aren't sentient, because every other animal should have sentience too then. AM I the ONLY one who thinks that's odd? I mean, maybe I'm missing something, but I always thought that we have traits, including sentience that other animals don't. And other animals have traits that we don't, like the ability to hibernate. Quick question, is sentience a trait or, according to some(memaammals link), something that can't be real becuase all animals are the same. Exactly the same.

Oh yeah. What's sentience? I dunno. I saw my dog logically reason the best way to catch the mouse was run head first into the wall. I would personally describe sentience as the ability to use logical reasoning to overcome instinct.

If I'm right, you were talking about the big bang. How was it that someone tested it? Or observed it? I missed it. Anyways, we have the ability to sin, (IMO) because we are sentient, and understand what's right and wrong. Do you follow that so far? I know its complicated, but it becomes more complicated ahead. We have souls, because god gave us them. Once again, IMO. Still with me? Great. This next part will blow your mind. I don't consider myself equal to animals. In my opinion, we're smarter then them. Now I'm not anti animal , I'm just saying perhaps, if we can build space craft, and they can't so much as write, that we might be a little bit higher on the food chain. Or what ever yard stick you would measure stuff like that on.

My tiny monkey evolved brain lost track of what the main question was. Oh yeah. In my opinion, while there are a late number, but minor percentage of religious people protesting science, for generalization, they just want be in peace. Most of them aren't arguing in the stores about who's going to hell. Gtg.

The fables you brought up, while they seem impossible without God, seem slightly more possible with God. Its taking it out of context. If I were to claim that two pieces of metal magically fly together, it would seem stupid. If you add magnetism to it, it seems more likely. BTW, isn't the big bang a theory? And in my not so professional opinion, science isn't being halted by religion. Other then "scientists" devoting their life's work to proving there is no religion. Also, where did you hear people were leaving the churches in droves? I kinda heard the opposite.

Maybe I'm a layman, but wouldn't a sphere cut into 12 wedges been easier?

Q. What do you get when you add the smallest cell in the human body with the largest cell in the human body? A. A baby Yes, im terrible at jokes XD
