Seriously, sure believing in God jesus and the holy mother is a good thing because it brings love and hope. But, when those fricken religions try to push it on you and you say... "Why the hell would I believe that?", and they'll hastily respond with a quick. "Because God is always, he was there first, he's all knowing and you should believe this book written by mere mortals." Come on......... It all comes down to religions can easily manipulate people into a better life after life.. who knows... Stay your happy thoughts.. mean thoughs.. i Don't care, I wan't everyones opinion on the matter~!

The willingness of people to cling to whatever glimmer of hope that irrational beliefs and primitive superstitions bring them is truly astounding. However, desperate, blind adherence to archaic religious dogma is no substitute for the informed, rational thinking needed to solve some of the more pressing crises that humanity faces.

Religion is a group of institutions which are collective egoic cultures with the purpose of creating and maintaining identity. The ego wants to be unique and special. The ego will go to any lengths to separate itself from others, thereby creating its own identity. This is also a collective phenomenon. My group believes in Christ. My side is correct in its beliefs, which means your groups beliefs must be wrong. Now we have separateness, which is what the ego likes. Its unconscious for most people. People can be very smart and still have no idea why we do dhat we do as Humans, unless they are on a spiritual quest.

What solid proof of evolution - I would LOVE to see it. The thing is, I have never seen any such. Second, believing in God is not easy, it's a death to the naturalistic man. Lastly, I don't think you will hear any Christian saying the Bible was written by mere mortals. I think you are projecting your opinion onto the supposed beliefs of Christians, thereby creating a strawman to knock down.
If you would like to examine scientific evidence, historic evidence and evidence that would be legally admissable under oath in any court of the land, email me and we can chat at length.

Who says they both aren't right? God may have created everything with evolution. There is solid proof of evolution but they still can't figure out where humans came from. They don;t have solid evidence or a link to any ancestors (monkeys). What caused the Big Bang? Did it just happen out of thin air? That seems believable to scientists with no real proof.

"...solid proof of evolution based around reason .... "
If the Bible was "written by mere morals", as you stated, then the same would be for the evolution theory. You stated it was based on reason. My belief in God and Jesus is based on factual faith. There is no flaw in the evidence that there is a God. There is no leak in the Bible ... there is however, flaws, changes, and "moral theories" in the reason-based evolution theory. Why would me believing a book you believe to be written by men only be different from you believing in a theory comprised of men's thoughts and opinions?
Now you explain ... great one!

Believing in a God is easy and takes no effort
Believing in evolution requires that you abandon all reason and accept the slow 20 cm per year motion of tectonics (which is the geological backbone of evolution).
But if you think rock can sink into rock at the continental margins (i.e., subduct) like the tectonics numb-brains suggest - than a God won't do ya no good.
So pack up your summer things 'cause you'se going the other way.

Im spritual not religious. I believe we have a creator. What it is or isnt is not important. Some religious organizations cause a lot of the worlds ills. I dont knock christians , I dont knock muslims , I dont knockn buddhist. If you believe in something that doesnt harm or degrade others, than theres no reason someone should knock you. Do what you gotta do to wake up and come to every morning. I wake up in the morning and I say " good morning god." Not "Oh god its morning."

macro evolution has some major flaws. for example, vision. or even hearing. impossible to explain through evolution. there are 5 parts to being able to see, and without one of those parts, the rest a rendered useless, and would then by evolution be breaded out. if the part in the brain that interpurts what you are seeing hasn't evoloved at the same time that the optic nerve, the cornia, the lence and the eye itself has evolved, then everything else is breeded out. pretty simple application of the theory of evolution.

People do not like the idea of being responsible for their own actions. When someone does a good deed then it is deemed as the work of God, and accordingly when something bad happens its the work of the Devil.
Also God seems to be a justifiable reason for war, and us humans are good at war, take the Crusades for example and more recently the Islamic Holy War Jihad.

Evolution is actually a religion. Did you know that? Or at least it qualifies as one based on the meaning of the word religion. It too is based on faith in interpretation of information that CAN NOT be proven. To many holes in it.
Either way, your believing or my believing is not what makes something true. God is God regardless of whether or not you believe in him.
