Evolution or God?

[Brody]

i believe in evolution

I believe in evolution but it is still not a fact. It is a theory. But so is gravity.

Gravity is a law, not a theory. So it is a fact.

Like mentor said before, evolution existing is a fact, how it works is still a theory. But we have some idea of it so far.

Evolution

[Browney]

I believe in existence. If something is there, I believe it. If I can touch it, I believe it. If I know it's plausible, I believe in it. The way I see my life is, we humans only can see somethings.

Like you're sat on a hilltop in a beautiful valley. Looking forward, all we can see is infront of us. So we know that's there. But until we manage to look behind us, we never know what has been behind us the whole time. Will there still be the hill or will it just be a drop cliff? Until we know what's behind us, we can only know what we see.

That's the way I see it. Which is why I say Evolution.

The thought of this one guy making everything is a load of b*******.

God isn't a 'guy' and most of the stories in the bible are not meant to be taken as if they are true they are meant to teach us lessons such as Adam and Eve eve ate the forbidden fruit and got thrown out of paradise (sp?) which is meant to teach us not to give into temptation (sp?) from the Devil etc

Yes, we learnt much from that story, like gods wants us all to have insest? snakes can talk and god likes toying with his creations.

Both, the problem with religion is there isnt no evidence of proof,
however science is always ahead as everything is backed up by evidence.

The Bible isn't supposed to be taken as literal, but unfortunately many evangelical Christians are doing just that. I study Religion at College, and my class has had so many fiery debates between the atheists/agnostics and liberal Christians on one side, versus the evangelical Christians on the other side.

The evangelic christians believe that the world was made in 6 Earth days, is 6000 years old and say either we once lived on the Earth with dinosaurs who then became exstinct in the Great Flood (along with most of mankind), or that fossils are put their to test our faith. When asked about radiometric dating, they either claim that the techniques are flawed, or that God is testing our faith.

What interests me, is that there are many obvious metaphors in the Bible, like "the arm of God", and yet some Christians still believe that the entire thing should be taken literally - despite knowing there are metaphors in there.

The most worrying thing is that this type of literal interpretation of the Bible is becoming increasingly common in the UK.
