Perceptions of God, Creationism and Evolution

[Vangelovski]

TM,

Your posting a video by Richard Dawkings debating a nobody (an uninformed Christian). How about Richard Dawkings debating a somebody where he breaks down into a dithering fool? You're either new at this or just scraping the bottom of the barrell.

TM why does man have a religion. at allIf it's one god why so many man made religions which religion is the true religion??Which god is the real god???
Why are we debating the existence of the flood it ether did happen or it didn't simple as that.Is it you don't beleive anything in the bible full stop or you only beleive the things you want to beleive??Remember one of the commandments thou shalt not test your your lord god.WE virtually all want proof but proof ain't coming till judgement day.There are a lot of skeptics out there.Just remember faith is not something that requires proof but obedience.One thing that jesus said of what faith is if you have the faith of the size of a mustard seed you can move mountains.Who has that kind of faith today nobody???

Tom instead of starting an entirely new topic where we're going to see the same arguements anyway why not just change the title of this thread so we can continue on here?

Phoenix it is not a matter of having an open mind it is about making the right decisions and not trying to clone or resurrect dead animals.

Are you a scientist? If not then you cant really fully comprehend what a scientist with a clear mind can do...we are not God and thus must not meddle in his work. ie. designer babies (people must be mental)

Lavce and everyone else who believes the Earth is 5000 years old I think you should see what happens when a scientist debates a creationist. It's mind boggling having an Oxford Professor break down how mankind came to be as well as life in general to a nitwit whose never taken a science class.

Makedonin dont believe everything a scientist says, the fist thing I was told starting my science degree was "do not think that everything you read in scientific journals is fact they are theories that are put out there to be disproved and if they can not at that particular time we have to begrudgingly accept them until someone can disprove them"
.

Science has nothing to do with belief. What is theorized stands open to be disproved, and for some things you gonna be paid if you conclusively do so. There is nothing wrong with that, it is how we can stay critical and objective. But a good theory puts certain perdictions that can be put to observation and test. In that case theory is good until it fails to perdict certain events. Say if some day the ball does not fall with same speed as some feather in vacuum, than new theory is to be put foreward.

Im a scientist and I believe in God (people please use capital letter) I think that there is no big bang (unless God clapped his hands)....evolution is out of the question we did not come from apes that is stupid and many other "theories".

The Bible God is a Myth of nomadic people that fused many different belief systems. It fails to stand critical reading and pops out as human theo-political doctrine with plain human interest.

And to be scientist does not imply to be atheist, but not necessary Christian, which in my case.
