Let me just answer one portion of your rambling diatribe. To quote you: This means we as human being SO CALLED DECENDANTS of apes are no more greater than the avarage monkey caged at the zoo. So to validate our superiority and esteem ourselve, we seek degrees, and money to fill the void in our life. Looking to man and his devices for the purpose in life never finding the answer because it's SPIRITUAL. Man created the idea of evolution because mankind didn't want to be govern by the athourity of God.
How can you be so certain it wasn't the other way around. That mankind created god(s) because we, as a species, can't accept responsibility for our own actions. We need someone, or something, to blame. And nobody ever said we are direct descendants of apes. Darwin claimed that apes and humans evolved from the same species and THAT, my friend, explains the differences as well as the similarities between humans and apes.
You have your absolute right to express your opinions and thoughts of creationism vs. evolutionism. Just as I have an absolute right to think you're full of scatological debris.

It's too bad it's not working fast enough too! So where do you get that atheists have no feeling of self worth or confidence?
When you put the Creator in your life what you are left with is you are a lab rat in a cosmic experiment.
Mankind is more superior than the apes because they are hanging out in cages at the zoo while we drive cars and seek degrees and money as you put it.
Also, I infer that since you are a believer that you must not have a degree, and must be broke because those things would only fill the void that you seem to think that atheists only have.
Way to back yourself into a corner... if you got the balls, contact me, I'll prove to you more how you're a hypocrite.

Just because one supports evolution does not make her/him an Atheist.
I am not an Atheist, and I am a big fan of knowledge. I am not empty. I am a very religious person, and I do a lot of study.
I don't think you know what evolution means either. Humans did not come from apes, but they share a common ancestor from millions of years ago. There's a big difference there. Also, evolution has nothing to do with being ruled by God. It's a scientific theory, just like gravity. Gravity isn't in opposition of God, neither are other areas of science.
I think you need to figure out what evolution really is instead of just believing what your church told you. Independent research and thought will make you a more rounded and likable person.

So, from your words I'm left to assume your only source of self worth and confidence is in a being who is presented to you as THE single greatest being in the universe, so superior to you that your hopes of ever being better than him are reduced to nothing, right? And then YOU call OUR lives empty?
It doesn't really matter where you come from, whether your farthest ancestors were apes, whether your life came to existence out of a big universal explosion. Even then, your life can have a lot of sense, much more so if you are open-minded enough to draw the meaning of your life from different sources. My life is richer because I know there is nothing above me. Nobody's the boss of me, except for my actual bosses in my mundane job. But then again, they are above me only while I'm at work. Other than that, my only roof is my own capacity and intelligence, and of course everybody else's rights, and the ONLY law that's valid: the law of Parliament.
So, don't worry about us. We're freer than you are. We feel better because our lives are not subjected to a mythical being. We design our lives. We are the creator of our existence (well, we, and our parents, of course, to a certain age). I wish you were so free as we are.

Ha ha ha....how I feel pity on you who needs to feel superior to everything else on earth, and those that need to draw a feeling a self-worth in their life by beleiving a sky pixies. Tis a shame that you beleive that you are superior to any caged animal.
Animals do not kill in the name of some false religious concept, however your Church does. That makes them morally superior to humans. Shall we discuss how your Vatican is the richest of all countries on the face of the earth??? Yes, I see that even your Church seeks money to fill the void. They also seek young boys under 10 years of age...

A man created the theory of evolution because of his systematic observations of nature NOT because Darwin had an agenda to dethrone a god.
I earned my degrees because I am a very curious guy NOT because of any lack of self-esteem. Science is the only thing in which I have faith; that is, faith that truth emerges from science.

See, the difference between us and you, bonehead, is that we don't go around pretending we know what the meaning of life is. If you want to believe in a creatOr then go ahead, just shut the hell up about it. Anyone who pretends that they have all the answers to everything and doesn't feel the need to ever question those beliefs is the one living the empty life.

Your question is very odd. Where is the confidence of an athiest?? I don't mind evolving from apes, I've known a few that were better than some people I know!

Yah, yah, heard it all before. I'm empty because I don't believe in fairies, leprechauns, Santa, gods or the Easter bunny. How pathetic it is to live my life in the real world instead of in silly fantasy worlds created by superstitious ignorant ancient men.
