Christians and Atheists, Which argument sounds more intelligent?

Question

A."The bible says this"
"The bible says that"

B. "Evidence shows this
"No evidence for that"

Answer 1

I personally believe that one needs to have more faith to believe in Evolution, than to believe that we were created.
For thousands of years there was no such things as evolution and just because one guy visited the Galapagos Island he dared to make a whole science out of the animals he saw there.
Anyways, it is known that when Darwin was on his time of death he said that God was everything, and Evolution was nothing and he recognized that Evolution was not true. Now we can still see the affects of his wrong "discoveries".
On the other hand there is plenty of evidence in history that back up the Bible and it's teachings.
Science is divided into two believes, one side believes in the Bible and the other believes on Evolution.

Anyway, one of the most precious thing I find in America is that we can all have freedom of speech and we are free to believe and practice our faiths, If while doing so, we don't harm others.

So I am just putting my 2 cents here :)

Take care! :)

Answer 2

Some people will say, "The Bible is evidence, so I choose A." But even if the Bible is evidence, it is a *subset* of all evidence, so the better answer in that case is still B unless you choose to discount all evidence outside the Bible.

Answer 3

HA HA
How is it you make the leap from (and this is how it is always worded on the evolution websites) the evidence suggests this to the evidence "shows" this?
All the websites I have visited, the scientists are very careful not to be dogmatic. They say things like "probably happened", "could be" and the like. Yet, when filtered through the lay men's mind these "if's" turn into absolutes. Why do you suppose that is?
Just like the blood issue, the evolution argument seems to be modern mythology that has become truth in the minds of many by reason of it being presented as proven fact as many times as it faultily has.
Come on people, look at the evolution websites!
If you can not pick up on the occurance of the words of it being unproven theory, then perhaps I need to get into the business of selling swamp land in Florida.


Also, look the term "false dichotomy".

Answer 4

B

The Bible is not the same as evidence. It is a spiritual text which can be interpreted many different ways.

Evidence is the result of the scientific method a.k.a. hypotheses, observation, and repeated experimentation.

There is a major difference between the two, and they are not comparable.

Answer 5

intelligence in debate comes with proof. if we have proof of evolution, and there is no proof that jesus ever lived, or god and there is damning evidence the bible is wrong (the book of genisis has been disproven) then athiesm is the more intelligent of the two. the MOST intelligent is to stay out of religious debate and stick to your own beliefs.

Answer 6

B.
Surprised? The Bible contains the evidence needed for faith to grow. Science also contains the evidence needed for faith to grow. That is a very wise question.

Answer 7

Evidence can be tested and verified, the Bible and religion can not to the obediently faithful.

Answer 8

Neither is very intelligent. What about exploring the unknown? Taking chances? Living your own life according to free will? Why are so many people more interested in being 'right' than in being alive?

Answer 9

obviously the second choice sounds the most obvious, but it does not do the subject justice. You have not included the fact that there are millenia of literature for the bible, but so much less for atheism

Answer 10

A is the correct answer , All the evidence of B points to A .
