When you ask a typical creationist what he thinks Evolution means, he'll say "Humans came from monkeys." or that Theories are the same as guesswork. I am asking this question to see how many people really know what Evolution is and what Evolutionary theory (The two are NOT the same) states. I'm bound to get some wild answers. So, please, take a crack at it.

Hint: Neither of these things is a matter of belief, any more than the natural phenomenon of gravity is. Also, one should not use in one's answer, the word proof. Science does not address things in these terms. Only Mathematics does that.

...IF... you ever met God (and obviously you were absolutely sure he existed) and he asked you why you didn't believe in him, how would you react? What would you say?
Plz don't say that he doesn't exist, just plz answer the hypothetical question...
Thanks in advance for the seriousness of your answers.

Because several christian zealots threaten with my soul this and my grave that, but, as I don't believe in god or whatever, he can't punish me, right ?

Also, he can't hold anything against me since I am not a sinner.

Cults like Jehovah's Witnesses are branded "NOT Christian" often with the short explanation "They do NOT believe in the Trinity".

How sure are we about the Trinity, never named in the bible?

What if a seeker gives his heart to the Lord but isn't sure about the concept of the trinity, are they unsaved?

Is doubt about the concept of the Trinity a "deal breaker"?

This is a partial list of early "christians" who rejected the Roman Catholics belief in the Trinity.
* Natalius, ~200
* Sabellius, ~220
* Paul of Samosata, 269
* Arius, 336
* Eusebius of Nicomedia, 341 (baptized Constantine),
* Constantius II, Byzantine Emperor, 361
* Antipope Felix II, 365
* Atius, 367
* Ulfilas, Apostle to the Goths, 383
* Priscillian, 385 (considered first Christian to be executed for heresy)

Were they "Church Fathers", or is this a list of hertics?

I’m an alien from a consortium of worlds, sent to see if the Earth is worthy of existence. We are peaceful; promote free trade, equality & freedom for all. We dedicate ourselves to education & exploration.

We know Earth is riddled with bigotry, religious intolerance, greed & violence. The leaders maintain power by preventing their populations from growing intellectually. The governments of the planet have squelched most space exploration. Some governments starve their people into submission. Others use religion to deprive people of basic human rights. There is no government on Earth free of these flaws.

Should I:

1) Leave Earth alone, hope it evolves & becomes a better place in the future; despite signs it will not.
2) Destroy the governments, warn the people not to repeat the same mistakes & take this opportunity to grow as a species.
3) Destroy Earth, & spare the universe future grief. The people put these governments in place to begin with. They’ll do it again.

Back in the middle ages, thousands of women were murdered for no reason because they were thought to be witches. Now a days, people can't do those kinds of horrible things anymore, but Christians always seem to have a scapegoat for all their problems. It used to be witches, but now it seems to be gay people. I think that the modern anti-gay movement, mostly driven by the right wing, is the modern witch hunt. Gay's are the scapegoats for all their problems in life. If their poor, it's not because they were to dumb to go to college, nope, it's gay peoples fault. If God doesn't answer their prayers, it's not the fault of God, no, it's gay people. I wonder who the Christians will choose as their scapegoats after the gays.

moved from side to side (nervousness) while making eye contact with the girl (he is about to be served by the girl at the shop) and says hi- never said hi before while same girl would serve him.
And

Have been away so this is first time we came in contact again for couple of years

It becomes many a time confusing & perplexing to find that on internet most of people hide their own photo and real name. Has it become fashion or it is fear from certain crooked minded internet intellects who engage their energy in negative direction? Are we scared or precautions force us to do so? I believe under both the said circumstances we do not remain normal. And if we are really so, how our actions at that time can be normal. Is there any remedy?
