    Either way, I can't help but feel like I'm peeing into the wind here.

    I hope that people reading this will really start deep thinking for themselves rather than accepting society for what it is.


    you've got to be kidding me, it was the study of different sciences that diverted people of the christian path (among i'm sure other reasons)

    religion was accept universally before science(edit: widely more than universally), so if anything, religion came before the science which you seem to be scoffing at, not the other way around which this quote seems to suggest

    people were accepting religion for what it was,, THEN the questioning happened

    i've read the bible, its a story book nothing more, and until the lord himself comes down and lets me sit on his lap while he reads the bible to me, i will not be religious

    I've read the Bible and I certainly wouldn't read it again. Painful really.

    From what I can see here, scientifically nobody here nor any other great scientist can prove the theory nor can they prove otherwise.

    How many times have the "proof" issue been dealt with already... I mean seriously, you're trolling right?

    Tell us more about the dancing sun/stars/moon though, that was more entertaining.

    Ah, that'll probably be Adnan Oktar (aka "Harun Yahya") who, last year sometime, spent a fortune sending thousands of copies of a vast creationist book to reporters, schools and other places not all that well-known for the depth of their scientific research.

    Anyhow, here's a mugshot of Oktar in what looks like Istanbul, presumably before he was convicted of fraud earlier this year:

    I think he's quite dapper -- Dawkins could learn a lot from this guy. Just love the oiled-back hair, the furrowed eyebrows and that fist looks like it's done some serious quran-thumping in its time.

    So Gareth, from your posts, we can deduce at least one thing:

    You don't bother reading anything.

    I can't respond to everything and I don't want to see the scientific evidence but this is the only language some people think.

    For people to think that the earth developed naturally is plausable (with the direction of God) but to think that at the very very start a concept beyond our minds does not exist is not only a mistake but impossible. No matter how much you think about it the only result is that a supernatural force, as described in the Bible, must be behind the earth and the universe and what they contain.

    So how can life form from dead chemicals? And again why have no genuine fossils been found?

    Why do people always say this - there are loads of examples:

    http://www.livescience.com/history/primitive_bones_050119.html
    http://www.world-science.net/othernews/060920_baby-afarensis.htm
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Australopithecus)

    Its funny - Darwin didn't know that these remains would ever be found but his predicted it and he was proven right. Thats a good indication.

    Evolution is no different to atomic theory in chemistry or mechanics in physics. Its a true a theory as a theory can be - the only reason its disputed is because of some stupid millennia-year old book.

    if you don't want to see scientific evidence, why did you start this thread? TROLL.

    None of this has anything to do with evolution. Another example of how you completely misunderstand the theory, and its purpose. TROLL

    I'm curious has anyone here actually said anything to the contrary?
    The rest of your post to me is a reflection of your indoctrination, which is complete rubbish. Do you realise that all your doing is anthropomorphising something none of us know about? Its not a result its a poor guess!

    You obviously have not thought for very long about this then..

    you're contradicting yourself

    we dont' know how the world began, neither do you, you are just saying this cause a book said it,

    and when any religious person is asked how did god create the world in 6 days they just say he just did, was there building blocks and concrete involved? i don't know he just did

    so you see the concept of how god created the world is also beyond religious minds so as you said this "is not only a mistake but impossible"

    You started it! How else are people supposed to respond (in any forum by the way) to a thread started about evolution? Would you prefer I say I believe it because Darwin came to me in a vision and told me natural selection was the one true way?

    Just because you are limited in your understanding doesn't mean you can state that no-one else can conceive of a particular idea. You don't see people wandering randomly into the Construction forum and saying "all you architects are wrong! I can't see how your plans could possibly construct something as complex as a building. Therefore it can't happen!"

    I can see the next flick: Bond races against time to stop a crazed Turkish creationist from staging a false flag attack on an Iranian navy base using the remnants of the Ark. 007 tracks him from the American Bible Belt to Oz right up to the thrilling conclusion at Mount Ararat.

    "They are not direct ancestors of modern humans" - taken from your first article. We can go around in circles and keep discussing this over and over again. What it does prove if accurate that apes existed back then. ;)

    Its funny how these finds were "discovered" in the past few years whilst dictators around the world were attempting to remove religeon from society.

    I'm guessing "Cause I read it in a book" is the only type of argument he might actually understand.

    Classic!

    I love the add-on that bridges the gap between philosophy and dogma.

    Sweet mercy, lads. If you allow this you'll begin digging your own bottomless pit. In other words, you'll never reach your goal and you'll spend forever at it.

    Gareth the proval/disproval of a theory of evolution doesn't say anything about the existence of a god.
    OP fails.

    You do know you can believe in God and still recognise that the evolution theory is correct??

    You do know that you can accept that God doesn't exist and recognise that the evolution theory is correct??

    Maybe this thread is a ploy to keep us all from bothering people in the Christianity forum. :pac:

    I've been thinking the same thing myself actually.

    Gareth37 is almost like an automated bot or something.

    Also, you have yet to tell us, Gareth37, what field or science you are in? So far you have pretty much proven yourself to be a liar in that regard (lying is still a sin right?) So how exactly can you classify yourself as a "scientist"?

    Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge" or "knowing") is the effort to discover, and increase human understanding of how the physical world works. Through controlled methods, scientists use observable physical evidence of natural phenomena to collect data, and analyze this information to explain what and how things work. Such methods include experimentation that tries to simulate natural phenomena under controlled conditions and thought experiments.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science

    That is what I do or supposed to be - must do more now.

    i think his claim of being a scientist went out the window when he said this

    "I can't respond to everything and I don't want to see the scientific evidence but this is the only language some people think."

    You said you where a scientist by profession. So in what field of science are you a professional?

    Or where you just lying to try and give your argument more weight?
