If both you people would just do a little research you could find the truth. I know both of you are wrong. You have both been fooled. I would try to explain it to you but you wouldn't understand.

Man, I wish I was smart enough to understand.

Concerning the debate going on about intelligent design and evolution: is it possible that the final answer about which of these two seemingly opposite ideas is correct could simply be yes?
With one position firmly held by the believers and the other just as fearlessly defended by the non-believers, if you happen to be in a position somewhere near the middle, it does not look all that complex. From this position, you wonder why either-or has to be the answer.
If you believe that some higher being created the universe by intelligent design, what more elegant and intelligent design could there have been than a self-regulating system that continually checks its own errors and makes its own corrections in mid-stream as an integral part of the process.
This all seems quite logical to me although it probably won’t satisfy the believers because they are afraid to see any truth other than the one they have been told to believe in. Inversely it certainly won’t satisfy the non-believers because it leaves them stuck with a god that they are so obviously terrified of.
To sum up this view from the center, it might be most easily be explained by saying perhaps the designer was intelligent. Problem is, the designer was likely so intelligent that those seeking to prove that it is intelligently designed may be incapable of ever understand it well enough to see it for the elegant self regulating design that it has always been.
The nonbelievers will be similarly handicapped due to the internal terror the have about the idea that there may be a God. Neither side being able to leave their entrenched position for fear they may have to admit they were wrong. While the rest of us stand by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Personally I don’t think anyone is wrong, I just feel both sides are about half right.
Love and blessings

Er, what makes you think that Atheists don't understand the Bible? If you look around here, it's pretty obvious that we do understand it quite well.
I'd explain it to you, but you wouldn't understand. But at the same time, if you did a little research you could find the truth. I know that looks like a pair of contradictory statements - I'd explain how that's possible, but you wouldn't understand without doing a little research to find the truth, and you've been fooled, because it's too complex for you.
Nice job with the spelling, though.

There are scholars who have studied the Bible and the Big Bang. I don't think either is beyond their comprehension and you can find both types.
Really, do you think you're the only person who has done research on the subject or THINKS they have the right answer?

Um, the Bible is not too complex. Just highly contradictory, vague, and open to interpretation. How else could Christians, as in a question yesterday, fail to even agree on whether the Holy Trinity comprises one, two, or three individual entities?

"A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the teachings of God's Spirit. He thinks they're nonsense. He can't understand them because a person must be spiritual to evaluate them" I cor. 2:14
I'm sure there are christians who understand the big bang better than atheists and vice versa.

Is this an effort to bring Christians and Atheists together by turning against you? I think we all understand each others views, but we just don't believe or have faith in them.
May God Bless you.

Not all atheists believe in the big bang, now the premises of Macro-evolution for the diversity of life, now that is undebatable. The Bible is hardly complex, unless you consider segments of writing that should have never been placed together because of the thousands of contradictions created. Then yes, it is complex.

"I would try to explain it to you but you wouldn't understand," is truly the sign of 1. A deluded mind, 2. An arrogant and deluded mind, and 3. A lazy, arrogant and deluded mind.

The bible isn't really complex, I'd call it nonsenical. Is the reason we wouldn't understand due to the fact that you are batshit insane?
