Using a rational, skeptical, and logical view of the world progresses our understanding of how it is structured and works. Applying this approach to religion, I conclude there is no God.

Proof *may* be forthcoming, just as proof of Allah, the invisible pink unicorn, the flying spaghetti monster, fairies, gremlins, leprechauns, the celestial teapot, a dragon in my garage, or the diamond in my backyard the size of a fridge.

Technically, this make me an agnostic and atheist. Yes you can be both, I have just made a decision based on the evidence I see. If you follow a religion, you are atheist to all other Gods, I just have one God less.

Guru? Seemed the most appropriate category, but don't expect to find any gods, deities, spirits, ghouls, or religions around here.

My "conversion" to atheism
Thor? Is that you? (11 hours ago)

"These are always held close, and people tend to get defensive when their core ideals are challenged." It's not pleasant when your world view is challenged, nor admitting you are wrong. I think people would rather not enter positions they know they cannot defend, instead holding onto their precious, comforting beliefs (no matter how false they may be). (11 hours ago)

"Psychics and chemistry are cold hard facts. There are no "beliefs"." We may quibble about the difference between facts and beliefs, but that is besides the main point here. The only reason we consider these things facts nowadays is preciously because we have had vigourous debates about the observable evidence, tested our hypothesis, and discarded those that do not have any evidence supporting them, or are contrary to the evidence. This does not happen (in general) in the religious realm. (11 hours ago)

"Editing the Bible would be a very good chance for political and personal gain, should someone change something they didn't like" More than fair chance it happened too. (11 hours ago)

atheists, now or never

If heaven doesn't exist, then I exist only in faith?
Do you have the right to question my existence?
SamHeald | July 23, 2008
Thanks for that video of the delusional preacher. Im going to have a word with him.
R055HP | July 21, 2008
avoozl07, your lack of imagination is the problem here, not the entire scientific community. Though a bird and an banana share a common ancestor, that common ancestor would have bourne little resemblance to either, being on the microscopic scale.

Also, the Creationist assertion that all of humanity is descended from one couple is completely ludicrous. Such a level of inbreeding would produce such a distincit lack of biodiversity it would certainly have led to the extinction of the human race. Variation is essential to the survival of a species.

I have a similiar story to tell regarding my "conversion" to atheism...I'll spare ypu ypu the detaols here; suffice it to say that I am free of pondering what the easter bunny was doing with all those eggs!!!

What's truly Fun is to Announce a Totally New Technique in the field of Medical Research! Especially when it comes directly from"God", and it's totally FREE!
Please go to: A NEW CURE FOR CANCER (view) Then go to: A NEW CURE FOR CANCER & EVERYTHING ELSE. These 2 videos are Revolutionary in their Cause & Cure for Cancer (as well as Heart Attack). I've been using this method for 14 years and can qualify the results. Take a Look and See what the Future holds for YOU!

you watch video ( Atheism is a religion ) in my favorite.

"As far as the ark, it can be seen from satelite(sic)"

FANTASTIC - you should be able to provide me with the co-ordinates so i can see it for myself on Google maps!

"It's a great thing that people like Ben Stein and Dr. Kent Hovind were able to wake so many people up to the farce of evolution. "

Is that the ACTOR Ben Stein and the CONVICTED FRAUDSTER Kent Hovind?
Drewdood | July 16, 2008
"have you ever read the "flood myths"?"

Many of them, yes. And most of them do describe local floods. I've seen Hovind's video where he completely distorts these myths to make them seem similar to that of the Bible's. Extantdodo tears that apart in one of his videos about Hovind.

"not all the stories come from 'local flood areas'"

Name one that doesn't. Or one that does not originate from an area susceptible to a localized flood.

"not mainstream news because it would go against the evolutionist agenda"

Your conspiracy theories are ludicrous. There is no evidence to support any global flood or giant ark.

"Evolution like religion is a driving force behind eugenics..."

All of these concepts predate the theory. You're a moron.
Drewdood | July 16, 2008
"don't make strawman arguments"

What straw man?

"A bird and a banana"

Banana TREE. The genetic and molecular evidence say they do. What is your evidence that they don't? It doesn't make sense to you? That's called an incredulity logical fallacy.

"Dr. Kent Hovind shouldn't be in jail either"

Kent Hovind has no doctorate, and he does deserve to be in jail. The 16th Amendment was ratified and claims to the contrary have been labeled by the courts as "false and fraudulent advice." Also, Hovind's science claims have been debunked by many YouTubers including ExtantDodo, Thunderf00t, Shanedk, and many others.
Drewdood | July 16, 2008
"Like I said it has nothing to do with Godwin's Theory"

Seriously, you're embarrassing yourself. Go to Wikipedia and search for "Godwin's Law".
Since eugenics predates the theory of evolution, as you admit, how is it that evolution is responsible for these ideas and the actions based on them?

"there is no method at this time to measure that kind of time"

And as I said: Yes there are, many of them. You're an idiot.

"if it were a private industry nobody would pay for it"

Actually private businesses use evolution a lot. Obviously in the medical field, but also in fields such as engineering. Using a kind of natural selection to improve designs is quite common.
