That, for the most part, I will agree with. There are some services (again they aren't religious but faithful services as wideright pointed out) that do a good job.
Man, I wish I was religious. I'd be a monster of biblical proportion. You'd be seeing my rich fat ass on tv 24/7 preaching and makin shit loads of cash that I'd blow on hookers, drugs and motor cars. Damn... :geek:

These anti-depressants I'm on are doing wonders for me. I'm less apathetic than I have been since my 7th grade year of school.


Balls, piss, and vinegar in that post? Meh. I was just purely sick of D1B and his shit. Had I not bee on anti-depressants and been willing to type that up every other word would have been something like **** to those with the filter on. It's amazing what I can do now that I can actually think straight part of the time. I can't wait till these fuckers start working as well as they are supposed too.

Evolution is a weak theory, and Creationism will never be able to prove itself, only tear down Evolution. So, we always end up at an impasse on this subject.
You got to be kidding! Weak? That Swine Flu - Yep = evolution in front of your eyes

Anyone who thinks evolution is for the birds should not be afraid of swine flu. Because if there's no such thing as evolution, then there's no such thing as a new strain of swine flu infecting people.

For the rest of the population, concern is justified.

We are discussing one life form evolving into another. A virus remains a virus regardless of whether it adds DNA to its genome or not. Now if the virus grew an arm and slapped someone upside the head, then that would be something.

The last time I went to school, a virus wasn't considered a living thing.

I'm on Celexa right now. I have a long family history of depression, so it is genetic for me. The Dr. said that Celexa should do the trick. I had been active enough through HS to keep it from getting bad, but since I stopped sports my GPA has hit the shitter and I stopped going to classes for a month or two on end, and I knew that needed to stop. So I started counseling and meds. I have completely revamped my faith and beliefs since I started taking them 3 weeks ago.


Only downside is I get the munchies like a fucking stoner now. Not good considering I wanted to lose weight.

Good to hear Catman. You ever read Ghandi's biography? Great read. The only person I know of that actually lived like jesus christ as portrayed in the gospels.

Jeezus...
The Catholic Church even accepts Evolution as a "viable observable phenomenon of Gods will into action"
Why American churches can't wrap their head around the idea that Evolution does not exclude God is beyond idiotic...

More proof America needs some "Science Education" mixed with the other crap in school :lol:

Nothing is airtight SG. Evolution is sound. We can count on it. We can observe it.

What are you "not big on" about evolution?

The issue with the religious cleets, is that they LOVE absolutes, when in reality, there are none. Evolution is a constantly evolving theory, but has shown enough validity that it can be considered viable, shit more than viable, fact. The problem is, there are still some holes, and that takes some "faith" to fill in, which religious people only have enough of for their stories.

Clenz, sorry to hear bout your depression. I'll be more careful. Don't get rattled over anything I say. I'm a lonely, pathetic has-been with a massive drug problem, 167 starving cats and the authorities closing in on me. The only things I have in my apt., beside my cats, is a computer and a bucket. :geek:

Bullshit SG. Your source is a whack job creationist org.

From your source:

supports research by scientists and other scholars challenging various aspects of neo-Darwinian theory;
supports research by scientists and other scholars developing the scientific theory known as intelligent design;
supports research by scientists and scholars in the social sciences and humanities exploring the impact of scientific materialism on culture.
encourages schools to improve science education by teaching students more fully about the theory of evolution, including the theory's scientific weaknesses as well is its strengths.

The astronomical odds is something I LOVE when people bring up. A little statistics fun really. I believe the universe is about as infinite as something can get, and in infinity, astronomical happens 3 times a week. Sorry, the only reason that concept is so hard to grasp for humans is because it lends the possibility that there are more of us out there. Fact is, and I've said it before, I'll put my money on there being an IDENTICAL earth before I put my money on God.
