I nearly spewed in my own mouth today when I saw an article for a newly opened creationist museum filled with dinosaur fossils claiming they got there because of noah's ark. I understand that everything that has happened to you over your life has led to this moment, and for what ever reason you believe what you do, but people have to stop giving bible followers the benefit of the doubt. You are delusional.

If you keep track of where your mind focuses in its natural inclination then that is where your mentality resides.
It is not that I think I know, it is that I know when I think.

mway, Yes, there are intelligent reasons to believe in God. However, the article you read does do poorly in representing the possibility of such intelligent reasons. But neither do many atheists, such as Richard Dawkins, do well in representing the plausibility of atheistic arguments. Especially when he (Richard Dawkins) argues against intelligent design in the documentary "Exposed." In this movie he argues against intelligent design while he claims that the human race could've come from aliens; thereby representing the plausibility of intelligent design in the very interview he would very much like to prove it wrong. Watch it and you might agree that his movement in his chair, when his worldview is finally put to test by Ben Stein, is quite entertaining as well. Perhaps Dawkins doesn't speak for you. Does he? Furthermore, stopping the Christian worldview from enter our discussions puts all of us on a slippery slope in society in the name of the newly defined "tolerance." If we remove a Christian's right to free speech, we will, in the end, remove everyone's right to free speech except the one who will have the power to strong arm his view. Hitler will prove me right on this. So will Hussein and Bin Laden. You are sawing off the branch upon which we all sit. Tolerance of intolerance is not true tolerance. It is still intolerance.

I am new here, please accept my thoughts as my own beliefs, they were never forced upon me. I have spent 25 years in the UK armed forces and have seen much of this planet. Wars, famine, happiness and pain. Personally our humanity is in question due to our emergengence from animal to higher being. Would God if he exists build a a perfect being? Why? Curiosity would say, "Build an imperfect one and watch the results improve or fail." After 3 wars I fought in I have found solace and wisdom in my three-year-old daughter. She tells it as she sees it, doesn't drink or do drugs, has only one god, Santa Claus, and lives for chocolate. Personally the pain and ugliness I have passed throug in my life has been healed. I now find life actually does start at 40. The 1st thirty-five years are just to make you feel alive. Every 5 years after brings you ready to understand the whole concept of being conscious. God gave us life, Satan made us aware. Do as Spock says: live life to the full, care for all life and never believe no one cares about you! Edited by Incision on 10/27/09 - 07:53 AM.
