Kent Hovind, although many of you may not know him, is the most famous creationist scientist in the world. He was the man who created the Dinosaur Adventure Land which shows that humans and dinosaurs roamed the earth together. He recently got arrested for tax fraud. He failed to report the millions of dollars he was making with his Dinosaur Adventure Land. The creationist movement is almost solely headed by the evangelicals. I have never heard of an atheist who supports the creationist theory. Personally, I think people like Kent Hovind exploit the stupidy of the people in the church to get their money.

Why is it that they can not read the texts before asking questions that really do not have any bearing on the bases of that religion? Why is it so hard for non believers to simply see the real truth of a religion, instead of looking for flaws to contradict that religion? This applies to all religions, not just the Christian religion.

one of the latest claims i've been hearing lately is that to believe in historical events that are recorded and detailed in history book requires a certain amount of faith. but is believing in what is written in history books the same kind of faith as believing in the supernatural events detailed in the bible? you can't really claim it's the same thing and expect to be taken seriously, can you? that'd be like me saying my great grandfather could fly. that would take much more faith than me saying my great grandfather had a wooden leg because he lost one during world war 1. so why are so many fundamentalists trying to confuse the two?

I've noticed a lack of respect in the Christian community for anyone who practices paganism despite the fact that several of their holidays and customs come from the faith they call evil, but they're more accepting of other non abrahamic faith systems. You'd think after burning us for 1000 years they'd feel they'd done enough damage to our faith. Why after 1000 years do they still perpetuate the horrible stereotypes they started, but they are accepting of other faiths ?

Binary 0's and 1's recreate EVERYTHING on the internet (including this question). Random 1's and 0's create noise and errors -- not videos and blogs about dry erase markers.

DNA A's T's G's and C's make up all living things (including this asker). Random ATGC's do not create life such as Jessica Alba ;) nor Plankton.


So since the internet would be nothing but noise without intelligence being behind its creation (not Al Gore -- don't go there); it follows that DNA needs to be intelligently organized by a creator otherwise life is improbable to the extreme.

Therefore creation must have been organized by an intelligent being -- I say the God of Abraham.

What say you?

Don't get me wrong, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool atheist. But humanism seems to me just like another woolly-headed load of nonsense. Since when has mankind ever worked together for any greater good? It's never happened in the past. In fact, as far as I can see, the only enterprise that has ever united vast numbers of human beings in common purpose is war. And what makes human beings so damned special anyway? It all sounds suspiciously like faith to me. I don't worship gods because I don't like being sold a lie, or being told how I should think. So why is humanism trying to replace one tired old lie with another?

It seems the same way no matter what your belief system. As a Christian, I read the religion section of y/a and I'm embarassed by what I see. I also know that the most loudmouthed athiests that contribute to this site are firing back with equal levels of ignorance. I watched the debate on origins the other day between Kirk Cameron and the "rational response squad" and if I added up all of what was said between the two sides I'd be hard pressed to put together even one complete intellegent and rational thought. I'd love to just once see a truly intellectual debate between the intelligent members of both sides. Not to determine a winner, but just to stimulate thought. Agree? Disagree? Who would you propose represent your side of the table?

I'm not looking for flames here, I'm serious. If flaming is your hobby, do it elsewhere.

Deuteronomy 4:32
[ The Lord Is God ] Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of?

Psalm 103:15
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;

Proverbs 11:23
The desire of the righteous ends only in good, but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.

My fiance is baptized and confirmed Catholic. He's religious and a Catholic church wedding is important to him. I am baptized Catholic but was never confirmed and attended Methodist church until I was about 8, and haven't been back since. The Catholic churches are all talking to me like I'm satan since I'm not "REGISTERED" whatever that means. So where the hell can we get married?!?!!??!

Have you ever heard an atheist smash their thumb with a hammer?
They act like God is deaf not to hear their rants and raves, they yell so loud at Him and His Son.
I'm not a Christian and I'm not Bible thumping,
it's just a humorous observation.

God turned water into wine (alcoholic) / He parted the sea (sure he did), he rose from the dead (sure), Mary was a vigin (yeah, right) and a bunch of other fairy tales. It's a cute story but so fake. Why do otherwise semi-intelligent and reasonable adults beleive this silly talk. I mean I don't know. I wasn't there. It could have happened but I am by no means convinced that this "Magic" stuff happens. It seems truly truly childish. My question is why are so many people such silly heads?

This was a response I got (check my profile if you want the Q, I don't care either way).

If my wife leaves the gate open and a dog wanders into the back yard and tears up the garden, I do not sit back and watch the destruction simply because it was her fault. If I have the ability to stop it, I will. God supposedly has the ability to stop death and destruction, yet makes a conscious decision to not do anything. It doesn't really matter whose fault it is when it is a matter of helping someone overcome a problem. What a lame excuse for a cruel god!

My point is, many answers here express this exact sentiment, that there isn't a God, but if there is He is cruel and evil. HUH? How can one say there is no God and then bash Him, suggesting He is cruel?

I am not trying to single anyone out here, but there seems to be an epidemic of two-facedness (made that up, I think) on here.
