I was in the Co-Op the other day when the new Jedward single came on over the in-shop stereo and the other shoppers got very religious indeed; everybody was saying things like "Jesus Christ!", "God save us!" and "holy ****!" One man even broke down in tears, fell to his knees and begged his God to 'take him now'.
Jedward. Just say no.

Ahh I tried that too, but they seem to screen the comments. I wonder why?

Right now, there's an ad at the bottom of the A&A page that reads:

Atheism against the law?
Scientific proof that atheism requires a belief in miracles.

Yep.

I use Adblock so I don't see any of these ads (actually, it gets rid of almost all ads), but for any posters who don't use this extension, I thoroughly recommend clicking

Shh!!!

They'll find some way to stop this sooner or later if we keep talking about it,
money is involved in this so they'll find a way if they notice a lot of users
have this!

I hate ads & Edward Bernaise so much :mad:

There's one I click on that has never correctly redirected me, wonder if they can't afford the servers or something, so I click again.

I think it takes more faith to believe in evolution. It's very hard for me to imagine that all life started out of some primordial soup. And then evolved into all of the varied species that we see today. In my opinion, all one has to do is look around at nature, and start to study nature. This might sound strange, but I have spent an hour or more just watching ants, bees, and even slugs, and it is fascinating how such tiny creatures are so complex. If one moves on to larger animals and plants, then thing really become complicated! I think all of a creation was created by God because it is just so beautiful and complex. It takes a thinking being to create such things.

There are too many unanswered questions in the evolution theory for me to be comfortable with. Creation is the only logical explanation for the world, and my faith lies in it.

It's really not, it's just sad.

These are all excellent suggestions. I would just add, never be afraid to say, "I don't know, but I'll find out. Let me get back to you on that." Then, use the excellent research materials that are available online. I find www.answersingenesis.org is not only the easiest to search and find answers, but also the site that has the answer to almost any question you have. And, AiG's answers are provided by Christian scientists with excellent qualifications.

Quite.

First thing to hit me when I passed by the site earlier on today is that the email allegedly from a ninth-grader (~14 years old) didn't read like it was written by any 14-year old that I know. And the AIG site showed up with such frequency and in such glowing terms that I was tempted, against my better judgment knowing that AIG are composed of honorable decent people who wouldn't dream for one second of dissembling for Jesus, to think that the site was a distinctly naked shill for AIG.

The facts that they (a) used a similar color scheme and layout and that (b) their statements of faith (A and B) are virtually word-for-word is, I'm sure, the purest coincidence.

Creationists wouldn't lie, would they?

I'd be tempted to think that any of the well thought out responses in the
comments was just the same person under a different username trying to
give the illusion of discussion, but then you realise these crazies are not
exactly a fringe minority group...

Clicking some of the username's they are all involved in these discussions
online, talking about radiometric dating yada yada yada...
Seems to be the main topic of discussion, how to disprove the opposition
by sneaky techniques such as

"My advice would be to not hit your friends and unbelieving classmates with too much at once in your conversations. Pick and choose your discussions, and try to focus tightly on specific questions, especially ones you are more familiar with and are more prepared to discuss. If you show these people that you have logical reasons for backing up your beliefs, than some may come to respect your views to some extent and not just write them off (especially if you can have respectful conversations that don't turn into explosive arguments)"

i.e. pretending to have a logical argument because you appear calm and
confident :pac:

/off to the flat earth societies forums to slowly readjust to reality...
