    Wow...no verification or proof you say?

    It will take me a while, but over some internet research and my Mom's collection of books, I should be able to find something?

    Internet and books eh?
    The internet is unreliable at best, and doesn't prove anything, and books are unreliable as proof here in this topic because we cannot read them for ourselves. So whatever you find is still not solid proof.

    btw, what i said last time that you got all offended about, I was just pointing out that it wasn't a very nice thing to say considering you're into god who teaches you to love everyone and play nice. I stand by it.

    Theories, eh?

    Theories aren't reliable at all and doesn't prove anything AND are prone to change (which they have to fit the best logical and feeble way...) Theories are pretty much the same thing as someone's guess work.

    Btw, what you said last time that I got all offended about, I explained what I truly meant to say.

    And about the part of what kind of 'God' I'm into...it's more 'Church.' And true, love your neighbor as you love yourself, but even saying that the topic itself is stupid (which I did not) wouldn't have been that big of a deal...probably not for the most uptight religions, so relax and go get drunk for the New Years or something...we will continue this debate when I get back with more info.

    Things I missed--


    "I beleive in the big bang, but where do you think the large particle stream that caused it came from? The human race, the earth and everything else was created by God."

    I myself am not disregarding the 'big bang' theory 100%. The only credit that I will give it is that it was possible that the universe expanded outward like a big bang at a time, but created nothing. God created everything.


    "I understand that you believe that you evolved from 'Primitive Neanderthals' or whatever as well as apes, right? So that makes monkeys equal to humans...? "

    I meant to say that according to the theory- humans, along with monkeys evolved from these Neanderthals. Not humans evolve from Neanderthals and monkeys.


    "Raven: the thing about the electrical impulses, if they do nothing in the brain, why have them there?"

    I never said they don't have a purpose. I'm just not giving them any credit for making my feelings, emotions and inner instincts.


    "And this discussion of whether humans are equal to monkeys (any monkeys) is irrelevant to the topic, especially given you haven't defined the measurement your using for your assessment of not being equal with a monkey."

    Humans...are not...animals. Humans are above the animals and are meant to watch over them. Humans are separte and put above the barbaric and animalistic figures. I am NOT equal to that of a monkey.

    I think that's about it. Let me know if I still missed anything.

    "above the barbaric and animalistic figures"

    I see, in what ways are Humans better than other animals? We have control of the planet merely because of our highly evolved brains. We are in no other way superior to other animals.

    If we are, name one.

    Oh, and what if God isn't Human? Does that make us superior?


    Another question. Could God make a stone so heavy that he wouldn't be able to lift it?

    the belief in a supream being(s) is a theory.

    Humans are dominant over the animals. God is not an animal. He is a divine being that made us dominant superior over the animals.


    "Could God make a stone so heavy that he wouldn't be able to lift it"

    That paradox could be fulfilled only by God who has logic far surpassing ours.
