All I'm going to say is
The sooner people like you can tolerate what people believe in the better the world will be.

you need to go back to school your maths is **** 0+0=0 .....even my 5 year old that i look after could do that. why does the idea of evolution scare you so.its better then the incest story Adam and Eve.eeeeewwwww
wanna read something intellectual? here goes :
There are about 40 studies, conducted over the past 80 years, that reveal a statistically significant NEGATIVE correlation between intelligence and religiosity. In plainer language, they found that the more intelligent a person is, the LESS likely he is to be religious.
We're not entitled to conclude causality from these data, but there are three possibilities:
1.Considering religion important lowers measured IQ (unlikely, since IQ is substantially genetic whereas belief is not).
2.The causality is via other factors not considered, such as socio-economic conditions, cultural history, or physical environment (definitely possible).
3.Having a higher measured IQ lowers your likelihood of considering religion important (most likely).
If you think about it, this makes a lot of sense. Intelligence tests mainly provide an indication of reasoning ability and problem solving ability... critical thought. These are the very qualities that see through religion, and recognize it for what it is; i.e., religion cannot survive the glaring light of reason and critical thought. This was well understood by important figures in religious history. This is why the early church destroyed all the writings that were in conflict with dogma, such as Greek philosophical, medical and mathematical knowledge... all the good stuff... which led directly to the Dark Ages.
Just to illustrate the point, here's what Martin Luther, the 'father' of protestantism, had to say about it:
"Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God." ~ Martin Luther
"There is on earth among all dangers no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroit reason... Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed." ~ Martin Luther
"Reason should be destroyed in all Christians." ~ Martin Luther
Christianity is essentially a criminal business enterprise... in fact, it is the world's longest running and most successful Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) scam. The product they are selling is 'salvation'... and the 'pay plan' doesn't kick in until after you're dead. What a racket! FORTUNATELY, it only works on those who are gullible enough, and sufficiently lacking in critical thinking skills, to fall for it. UNfortunately, THAT accounts for about 75% of the population of the USA. (There are a lot more people who DON'T know how to think properly than there are people who DO know how to think properly.) That is why there are a lot more religious people in the USA than there are 'Free-thinkers'... including Atheists. Also, Christians generally do not realize that proselytizing (spreading the 'good news') is a key element of the Christian MLM MARKETING PLAN, which was instituted after Christianity lost the political power that had previously allowed them to simply torture and kill anybody who did not comply.
Interestingly, statistics on supernatural beliefs count the USA on a par with backward, developing Third World nations, rather than among modern, advanced industrial powers.

How do I clarify existence? nicely i ought to furnish you a protracted nicely-concept-out answer yet using fact it does not contain any deity the doorways of your strategies could slam close in the previous you had study previous the 1st sentence. If Allah / Jehovah had to coach his life he could, and there could be no debate approximately it. instead we've a number of ambiguous conflicting texts that have survived by way of a mix of random probability, modifying, political expediency and protection tension conquest. I also have a question. in accordance to Islam the Quran documents the revelation that replaced into given to the prophet Mohammed throughout or following encounters with a supernatural being claiming to be the angel Gabriel. Assuming for a 2d that those encounters incredibly took place, what evidence do you have that this being replaced into incredibly Gabriel? given which you have faith in devil, and you have faith that devil is the large deceiver, why do you think of that devil does not be able to posing as Gabriel with a view to create a faux faith?

Being an atheist, or an evolutionist does no mean you are not intelligent, it just means they are "intelligent fools" It just means they are intelligent apes, or monkeys. The fact that they believe in evolution, or the big bang verifies their intellect.
They are most probably the ones that sit by the cages of the apes, and monkey and enjoy conversing with them. As they understand each other being that their intellect is of the same caliber.

We are apes - great apes. That is our biological classification...it's pretty obvious, all you have to do is look at us and you can see that we are hominids. We are intelligent - of that there is no doubt. We are not fools, although we are referred to as "fools" in the Bible, which adds up to nothing more than an ad hominem argument - a logical fallacy, one of thousands in the Bible.
There is matter, and there is energy. Not "nothing", matter and energy. They have always been there, it is an infinite regress. Perhaps you can't get your head around that, but I can, as can many others. To decide that the regress terminates in a creator is intellectually lazy and dishonest. Brush up on your quantum mechanics, a little biology, and some cosmology, and within a few years, you'll get it. You'll understand that it's okay to say "I don't know", but not okay to say, "I don't know, so God must have done it."

Islam does not deny evolution.. it just denies their ideas about evolution. (See "god-less" above).
Humans evolved from unicellular creatures, actually.
Islam answered this 1400 years ago.
"Who made all things good which He created, and He began the creation of man from clay;"
"began" the creation of Humans, this means a "phase" of creation before the full being.
Here we agree that creation "began" already. then:
"Then He made his seed from a draught of despised fluid;
The "Created Human" began breeding already, it's a complete shape of life.
"Then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His Spirit;"
Creation is done! "fashioned" a creature that is already alive and breeding! Fashioned it to the form we know.
Then:
"and appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye!"........
This means that before the full human, there was a breed with no: "hearing and sight and hearts".. something like the amoeba or the single cell.
And the embryo; don't it tell us a story? in a phase; he's just a cell, then he breathes with lungs "like a fish", then he is covered with slight feathers "like a bird" then he's got a tail that evolves at the 5th month to become his bottom bone.
Humans evolved, but not from apes; every creature have his "own" Fathers and tree. if I said: Ducks evolved from dinosaurs, then I'm being silly, but if I said: Ducks came from "Arckopatricks " the flying Dinosaur" who's like a bird; then that's logic.
When I say: the elephant evolved from a mosquito.. This is really nonsense; but a respectful scientist may say: Elephants came from Mammoths and Mastodons.
Every creature had its own tree, Quran simplified it all.. go and check yourself, all verses quoted are from Chapter 32: as-Sajdah: The Adoration - Verses 7 ---> 9.
Evolutionists lead this guy once to commit suicide with their unbelievable ideas:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ota_Benga
They only ask: Who created the creator.. Like all sea creatures, they think every other creature must breathe with Gills, if you told a fish: "There is a human breathing with lungs"! she'll say: "Impossible; no one can have but gills"...
Evolutionists never answer: "why have there been Fossils of apes that lived with Dinosaurs? why we never saw a monkey evolving to be an architect? Humans are weaker than Gorillas; is this evolution? turning the strong creature to a weaker one?
Edit: Dragon tears; Incest was common in all ancient societies of Greece, Romans, Egypt, Babylons, Vikings etc... to keep the royal blood, this means; like it or not, you came from an "ewwwwwwwww" relation!
Edit: I'm not encouraging incest, I don't really know what stuff you smoke, but it seems to be really strong. liked it or not, ewwwwww or not, it happened in all nations. And your Grandpa did it. Seems after all you believe that George Bush was a sunflower or salmon fish, right?

Well, many are called "intelligent fools", but usually their intellect is self proclaimed.
But then most people are products of the public school system where all the teachers are self-proclaimed "intelligent." seems to me if they were the least bit intelligent they would be making a lot of money doing something else.
"Those that can, do; those that can't, teach."

*sighs...* Do I have to explain to you that nobody who understands the Big Bang or Abiogenesis theories believes that anything came from nothing?
Big Bang theory states that the universe moved from one state to the current state. No matter was created, it was simply modified from it's previous state. The theory isn't an explanation of the beginning of the universe, only the universe in its current state.
Abiogenesis states that life arose from non-living matter via naturally occuring chemical compounds that spontaneously developed a method of preserving data and self-replicating.
There is no "something came from nothing" argument in either of these theories.

Because name calling is the last reservoir of people who aren't smart and don't use evidence to back up their viewpoints.
P.S. Who created god?
