Evolution or Creator

[Ryo of Inferno]

Ok, lets do this. I've never had this discussion over the net before.

First let me say I'm not good at these discussions in english because so many thoughts rush through my head that when I'm writting down one I forget another.

I'm a hardcore atheist with strong aversion to any organized religion trying to make people live their lives through fear of what happens if they don't follow 'instructions'. I've said it before. I don't like sheep. Just to let you know in advance.




This is your reason to believe in god? Well, sorry to say so but when/if I'm in trouble I don't turn to God since i don't know who He is and believe He doesn't exist. I don't see the connection between people praying (to whoever) and creating the universe. But ok, they turn to God but does he help them? Look at this world, that should answer my question.



Why? Why MUST there be a lawgiver? What are laws. We made it a law. We (humanity) found out about gravity (a little late I might add), the apple falling from the tree. We found out that all objects are controlled by gravity only to find out later why. The rotation of the earth. Its not a made law, it existed before we gave it name.

You don't sound very confident in your next text with alot of 'if's and 'maybe's'. Big Bang is a fact. It has been observed in other galaxies and that's what creates a star (our sun) and surrounding planetes. The cause of a big bang is still not proven I think but giving all the credit to an entity of which we know absolutely nothing is far fetched (or he should have told Jezus this story isntead of his 7 days theory). I find it easier to believe if someone said alliens caused it. But ok, why do you think an entity has a part in this or is that just the easy way out? By thinking everything was created by someone we would have never discovered anything and people would still have believed the earth was flat (cause the church said so).

Evolution is another fact. It can not be denied. We came from monkies/ape's (I know there's a difference and don't want trouble with the big guy from planet of the apes ) Unless you have scientific proof of something else creating humans (and God snipping his fingers isn't proof) your making a fool of yourself by holding on to this. The only question remaining is not even a question but something thats extremely hard to prove. The primortial (sp?) ooze. It seems its damn hard to recreate it . So people saying this was made by god (which conflicts with the bible) cannot be proven otherwise yet. Which sucks for us atheists

If something is left alone it will worsen. WTF, are you comparing humans to fruit or something Look at human history, we are constantly evolving. We're getting smarter and more obvious, bigger. 500 years ago people didn't get above 1,60 meters and hardly aged over 40. Evolution is all arround you.

I'm glad you didn't bring the bible into this because so many stories have been proven wrong countless times and its good to see that you think for yourself.

I want to know what makes you believe in an entity noone has ever seen or heard? Is it maybe to explain a thing you can not (yet) explain? If you would never have been taught about God do you think you would have thought about him yourself? What have you personally experienced to make you believe there's someone watching us?

Now I didn't say if this deity helped them I said there must be one. Also how did we make

it a law. Did we say, when this happens you will do this? No we just named the laws. The

Law of Gravity. I am not going to bring the bible into this because I don't read it anyway.

As for why I believe it, it is because it has the least patches in the story. Also I believe

that with so many people looking for fulfilment in their lives whether it be materialistic or

spiritual must point to some kind of entity. This especcially taking into account the many

different religions out there. I'm not comparing Humanity to anything at this point I am

just stating a fact. I mean everything does age. Also humans are getting smarter, but at

the same time are becoming worse off than before. As we acquire knowledge we try to

use it to harm others. Also yes I have experienced many things I have to be thankful for.

I don't know what would have happened if I was never taught about God but with

everything that happened I would have to say yes. Let me summarize by saying that I

think God is probably the ultimate scientist. Anyway pick that apart if you will. This is

suddenly getting interesting.
