Jobabob, Natural selection and religion are just fine together. In fact we see it all the time in the bible. People like the Babylonians get killed off because the Persians were just stronger, and superior.
Thats not natural selection, survival of the fittest is according to circumstances, you dont get entire species of birds eaten by mass armies of cats
And if you beleive in the laws of natural selection so much, then what's the deal with you disagreeing with me last time we talked about it (and homosexuality.)
I understand they form the principle of modern biology but I also have some crazy human emotion that makes me think that having sex with children is wrong in some way.
The only reason I made such a big thing out if it THIS time is because Satchmo said that anyone who doesn't tolerate homosexuality is just like Nazis/murderers. Which is more closed-minded than anything I've said.
If everyone did such an inane rebuttal everytime someone used the N word debates would never go anywhere, also the Daily Mail would cease to function
You know, at least with Atheism, you are not afraid of a commitment. Either there IS a god or there ISN'T. If you're agnostic, you're just pretty much saying "There MIGHT be a god, but he is an idea, or he is in everything.
Agnostic means that you cant prove either way, which is true, I just choose not to believe in the supernatural until I see evidance to the contrary
Also, I think that atheism takes more faith to believe than Christianity. With Christianity, we beleive in SOMETHING. With atheism, you must beleive in the concept of NOTHING.
Its as if someone invented heaven to stop us all worrying about our own mortality so much
and there is no such thing as NOTHING.Nothing doesn't exist and has never been sighted, never ben proven. so how do you vouch for your beleif in Nothing?
Believing in nothing is easy, before you were born you were nothing, hence when you die you will be nothing again and you wont care about it because you wont be able to care. The concept of nothing is a fundamental mathematical principle, it was romans/christians that stopped it from coming about till the 1400's though.
