Atheists know that it is impossible to prove a negative - so it's we who are laughing at you.
It's up to you to prove that your imaginery friend really exists... go on... any time you like... we'll be here waiting (and laughing)
Evolution of vegetation:- You really do seem to have a very poor level of education when it comes to biology... you should try equipping yourself with a few basic facts before you make outrageous and unsupportable statements that just highlight the inadequacies of your argument.
The first mirco-organisms were bacteria which broke down the various chemicals around them to release the energy they require to live. An example of such a reaction is glucose + oxygen > water + carbon dioxide + energy.
Bacteria are incredibly adaptable and frequently mutate because their DNA isn't copied so faithfully in the replication process as it is in other organisms. At some point a bacterium evolved that was able to reverse the chemical reaction described above, using energy, water and carbon dioxide to synthesise glucose, which is a good energy store.
Later after simple eukaryotic cells evolved these bacteria became incorporated into these cells where they remain to this day, being known as chloroplasts. Cells with chloroplasts are known as "plants"... in other words vegetation.
No-one is saying that strawberries evolved from tomatoes, any more than humans evolved from monkeys. Strawberries and tomatoes share a common ancestor in the same way as humans and apes share a common ancestor. There is nothing mystical about the evolution of plants any more than there is about animals, fungi or bacteria.
But while you raise the subject of vegetation... where does it say in the bible that Noah took all the vegetation onto the Ark? It would all be destroyed in the flood - so how did the vegetation survive?

What do atheists have to do with evolution?
How can a theory be at once "well thought out" and "flawed beyond belief"?
Where did you get the idea that evolution doesn't explain vegetation?
How did you devise your vegetation family tree? Through years of research?
Have you ever read anything about evolution?

The development of plant life on this planet is well documented.
You need to read more.
Many christians are able to understand scientific truths including the psychology of belief and faith.
The lessons taught through various religions are not meant to be followed quite so literally. Many of the meanings are symbolic....metaphors that were usefull once in a world where a formal education was hard to come by. But now days there is plenty easily available information....especially if you have a computer and an internet connection.

Doonga, when you don't have a clue about a scientific theory and its development and applications, you need to go and research it. Try a library, a good college level biology book or a credible website, like the one below.
The burden of proving that something exists is on those who make the claim. Scientists can back up their claims with evidence. And when new information is discovered that conflicts with the current theory, science demands that the theory be modified or discarded.
Just because you don't want to believe in something doesn't mean it isn't real.

If it is a hoax, then thousands of scientists are behind it. It is the biggest conspiracy that has ever existed, involving thousands of people of all religions over more than 100 years.
Please explain why there have been no deathbed confessions. Why all new scientists have submitted to this conspiracy. How millions of papers have been published based on nothing but lies - and no one has caught any of them out. How predictions of the theory are constantly coming true.
The world is laughing at someone. It is not the atheists.

You are so off base its laughable. You obviously haven't studied much science. And isn't amazing the lengths that Christians will to in order to prove God's existence? The bible hoaz is elaborate and not even well thought out, but flawed beyond belief.

You're starting from an incorrect position. Atheists do not try to disprove the existence of god. Atheists are logical enough to realize that trying to disprove something is not possible. We simply ask that you prove the existence of god. If something does exist, then it is possible to prove that existence. You've been unable to do so for 4000 years now.
I won't even get into your faulty science. Why do you say that evolution doesn't explain vegetation? There's a huge amount of information on plant evolution. Oops, sorry, I guess I did get into it.

your good, funny almost, yet sad, ah well, i shall argue the point though
yes evolution has notable floors, how ever science unlike religion is willing to accept this and adapt its theory's as goes, not start out to keep something rigidly true, so big whoopie doo there. 2, we can't yet i might add prove evolution fully, can you prove creationism at all, i don't mean 'its true because its in the bible' and 'well evolution is wrong so creationism is right' some other theory could be true. so prove it. and i mean actual evidence, there is none, more supporting evolution right now so ner ner ner ner ner neeer.
we find old skeletons that prove a link of evolution, im sorry it doesn't fit your belief system.
who would you rather sleep with, kira knightly or judge judy? im sure you can answer that one, kira knightly and don't get on your high horse about sex thats natural selection for you. sorry judge judy, but kira knightly is more sexaully attractive thats the way it goes, admit it! but really thats your body thinking, mmm, i could have kids with her, thats why we fall in love you dope
the world mocks people like you that don't have a grasp of basic science
some one needs a lesson in sex education, to high school with thee.
and we are laughing at your stupidity

Where is the part where plants don't evolve? I must have missed that, seeing how some of the earliest work on genetics was done on plants.
If you really think all of us "evil evolutionist atheist conspirators" are just trying to pull the wool over your eyes, you need to spend less time curled up in your basement wearing your tinfoil hat.
Seriously, just about any good resource on evolution will have information on plants. If you want to shout about how you don't understand that, then you're only proclaiming your own ignorance.

Actually, I think I will attempt to educate you, instead of laughing off the obvious misconceptions.
Here you go. Evolution is a scientific theory that describes a change in species over time using natural selection. It is scrutinized using the scientific method, whereas creationism is a form of religion that is hostile to this aspect of science, and has not stood up to similar scrutiny.
Actually, the remainder of the first world is in support of evolution, regardless of their religious distribution. They laugh at American ignorance over the subject.
Support for evolution:
Among scientists from all disciplines: 98%
Scientific organizations that reject intelligent design:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientific_societies_rejecting_intelligent_design
Support for evolution in the first world:
http://www.livescience.com/php/multimedia/imagedisplay/img_display.php?pic=060810_evo_rank_02.jpg&cap=A+chart+showing+public+acceptance+of+evolution+in+34+countries.+The+United+States+ranked+near+the+bottom%2C+beat+only+by+Turkey.+Credit%3A+Science&title=U.S.+Lags+World+in+Grasp+of+Genetics+and+Acceptance+of+Evolution
http://www.livescience.com/health/060810_evo_rank.html
Note that the U.S. is at the bottom of this list, as are the countries in Eastern Europe.
Apparently denying scientific fact does not apply to the world view of other religious believers.
Here's why American educational standards are embarrassing:
Percentage of Americans who believe in the following
Belief in psychic/spiritual healing: 56 (54)
Belief in ESP: 28 (50)
Haunted houses: 40 (42)
Demonic possession: 40 (41)
Ghosts/spirits of the dead: 39 (38)
Telepathy: 24 (36)
Extraterrestrials visited Earth in the past: 17 (33)
Clairvoyance and prophecy: 24 (32)
Communication with the dead: 16 (28)
Astrology: 17 (28)
Witches: 26 (26)
Reincarnation: 14 (25)
Channeling: 10 (15)

Hopefully you have learned something from this, instead of calling your opponents "evil" for not believing in your views.
