Evolutionists say we (Monkeys and Humans) came from the same ancestor. Shouldn't their be ATLEAST other civilizations, like monkeys knowing how to speak, build homes, Have some form of clothing, a government of their own....(seems like they don't have brains at all)
There are millions of bacterias, If we came from bateria, why is there only one type of human.
My theory is:...Charles Darwin was an idiot

A poster said I shouldn't spend valuable time playing catch with the R&S Fundies, and I'm wondering if he, or she, isn't right on the mark? Gosh, I'm such a 'forgiving' chap with most of the human folk I come upon. Maybe I should join up with fellow atheists here who carry on amongst the Fundy babblers and their verbal assaults with merely a shrug or a sigh. I admit that there are more important questions to ask and answers to give. Doubters, skeptics, agnostics, and atheists only: your advice, please.

My wife and I were walking down the street in Montreal and a passerby said this to us: "Vous etes une belle ensemble." Could someone tell me what it means?

I've heard people say "I don't believe in evolution because I don't like the idea that we came from apes."

But really, people came from hominids in a fairly well documented like of hominids like homo habilis, homo erectus, and austrolopithicus afarensis (sp?). What do opponents to evolution think of anthropology?

Hello, I hope that you are all doing well today. This is not a question to try to convert. I understand your views well. What I want to know is, *if* there is no God, then what about miracles? What do you think when things happen that are pretty much unexplainable? Also, when people give testimonies about God working in their life and what God has done for them, what do you think about that? *If* there is no God, then how could so many people, a lot of those people very smart, college educated people, have testimonies of God doing things in their lives? God has worked in my life. So what is your opinion about it?


And please do not be rude. This is a serious inquiry meaning to get others opinions, not to antagonize.

I do! It doesn't matter if it's a Mormon or a Jehova's witness or even your average local church goer. I can't seem to stop laughing when they say things to me, I don't want to be mean but I can't help it. What can I do to not laugh at them so much.

Revelation 19:6b in the NWT reads: "They said: “Praise Jah, YOU people, because Jehovah our God, the Almighty, has begun to rule as king." (The KJV translates this as: "Alleluia: for the Lord [kurios] God [theos] omnipotent reigneth.")

As you can see, the Greek text ACTUALLY reads "kurios" instead of "Jehovah" at this passage.

Question 1: why did the translators of the NWT insert Jehovah at Rev. 19:6b?

Question 2: why is Jehovah the "correct" translation for "kurios" at Rev. 19:6, yet the NWT also translates "kurios" as "Lord" at John 20:25? It's the same word!

And if god heals cancers (maybe it's easier than spontaneously regenerating a limb), and so many people in this country are christian, is cancer the #2 cause of death in this country? Honest answers please.

It was my birthday recently and the people I'm currently staying (relatives) KNOW it. Apparently it was also one of the relatives' mom's birthday too. We traveled up to her place for the day of my and her's birthday.

We did a whole bunch of things that day, like shopping. Where they got the mom a gift and TOTALLY ignored my birthday (actually they got the gift like INFRONT of me).

That night when we had dinner, everyone knew it was the mom's birthday and said like Happy Birthday to her. And no one said happy birthday to me. (except for the mom because I told her it was my bday too).

Seriously. I dont think I have ever had a more aggregativing birthday ever, spending it alone would have been better than with these *****-wipes.

I didnt lash out or even slightly ***** out (which I really did wanted to). I mean I'm hurt. I know for sure I'll never come back to this god forsaken place again. I even helped find some of the parts of the gift for the mom.
How would you have acted?

It's a really silly game of semantics.

Yes, I believe in myself, my wife, my kids,......etc.

I don't believe in anything supernatural.

Isn't it just a silly, little circular argument to say "atheists still believe in something because believing in nothing is still believing"?

Come on guys............grow up!

Atheism IS an absence of belief.

Okay?

Dawkings once said [i dont remember where], that the theory of evolution made life safer for atheists. He said that it was possible before Darwins theory for an atheist to have reasonable basis for his beliefs [yeah, right]. But that after the theory of evolution atheists could really have an "ideological fullfilment" [again, yeah right].

A]Atheists, please forgive if im twisting What Dawkings said, ah i couldnt find the quotation, still i'm pretty sure i got most of it right [correct me if i got it wrong ok].

Do you agree with the statement? How do you feel towards the theory of evolution and how it afects your beliefs?

B]How would you feel if it was proven beyond doubt that there is no evolution, how would your beliefs be altered? I know its not a reasonable possible thing to happen, still try this mental exercise: You wake up one day and scientist have just proven beyond doubt more than 1000 confirmed examples of irredutible complexity or something.

The other day someone took something out of context and I got really upset. Thing is, it wasn't the Bible they were misquoting...it was a Harry Potter book. Yes, I'm one of those people, I dress the part and try to push the books on others. Although I'm hardly a religious fundamentalist, I came to the realization that I probably qualify as a "Harry Potter fundie."

Is there anything, religious or not, of which you'd be considered a fundie?
