Bring it on then....give me "proof."

So if there is an all powerful being that created everything, then which religion is right?
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc.
And thats just covering the main religions.
We could dive deeper to witches, pagans, pantheists, scientologists, satanists, etc.
Everyone with a different look at religion and following a differet story and having a different god.
AMny its the same god, and hes just having some fun giving people different beliefs and watching them collide.

I'm just guessing here, but you are probably catholic. So I guess the rest of the religions are wrong because you have a book (written by man) that says so.
And not only is that book written by man, its translated by man, from another book written by a man.
And its passed through a few different languages, some of which that are not directly translatable.
Ever play the game "telephone" in school.
How something starts is never the way it ends up.

As for proof of science, DNA.

Bad choices dude! The Catholic community has actually opened its mind about evolutionary theory...or at least until Pope Benedict XVI got elected. Currently there are Jesuit monks and others who are now allowed to discuss and write about the "what ifs" of evolution. Modern Catholics are more open minded than you think.
I used to be a baptist, If I were a betting man I'd say he was from one of the protestant religions such as baptist.

By the way, here is an important point:
Evolution doesn't say anything about the way things are created or who did it. It says nothing against God as an all powerfull, always existing entity. It DOES however postulate a survival and adaptation mechanism.

If I designed something like a living creature I wouldn't want it to get killed by the first disease or bad weather that comes along in my beautifully created world. I would design that creature with what it took to survive.
Then I could be free to step back and watch them all as they struggle through their lives trying to find the right answer rather than step in and help them out. I'm sure God would create such a self sustainment system.

Therefore there is no disagreement in my mind between Religion(creationism) and Evolution. How can there be a conflict? One does not exclude the other.

Either way you look at it, Darwin was a staunch Christian. So was his father. Darwin participated in his church.
All he is guilty of (and hated for) is observing nature and drawing some conclusions. He is not the only one to have independently come to these conclusions either.
Anyway, it was some other source, the media tabloids if I remember correctly that first penned man-from-monkey and from there people who never looked at his work made up distorted opinions and lies.
You see, their descendents still live....they must have evolved to stay alive in this modern world where Genetics help millions to live longer, allowing them to pray and donate more moeny to those churches. Funny how Genetics are the biggest piece of corrobarating evidence for evolution since they are the mechanism by which changes occur.

I'm sure he won't have a problem going to a doctor. I'm sure if someone told him his child was genetically proven 99.9% NOT His, then he'd have some doubts in his mind...


This is the hypocricy we live in.
