ok, the party thing, yeah, thats an example of someone just being funny, but for the world and universe, the Big Bang is totally valid as a reasoning. And from there on up to the formation of the earth, its totally explainable. You can't rule out what would be a fairly valid comment. To say that...

plenty of people who DO believe in god do those sort of things, anyway though. On the opposite side, I don't do things like swear at people, even though i don't believe there is a god, just because i try to do what is right. People use God as justification so much that if there was enough to...

i think his point was that if everyone knew there was a god, everyone would act peacefully. however, wars aren't caused by people who think there's a god vs people who don't, or entirely by people who don't think there's a god, it is very often caused by people who believe there is a god and...

Its virtually impossible to have proof something doesn't exist. One can just cast doubt in circumstances where there is a lack of proof that something does exist. Example: the only way to prove there is no Loch Ness monster is by draining the lake. very complicated. But the fact that there is...

the "god is just watching and judging" is a viewpoint i can accept fairly easily, i just have issue with the view that god basicly decides to mess with people and ruin lives of good people because he feels like testing them or has to show how good he really is with some thing of "well, the ends...

you "see" his work so much because you have faith in it. You see it as evident, but it isn't self-evident of specific religion. Were it fully self-evident, then all forms of religion that are developed (ignoring religions that are just out for money like scientology) would develop the same...

What happened at columbine was a tragedy above all else. Where was your God to stop innocent people, innocent kids from being gunned down in a SCHOOL of all places?

just two cents, but with the focus of that last post.... it sounds more that you're frustrated about unfulfilled lust rather than broken up because of emotional losses. granted, thats just from reading the last post. at some point you've got to accept things as they are ratehr than think about...

wouldn't create include the ability to come up with tools? theres just as much creation in that as there is in anything else, i would think, but animals are and have been known to create and use tools. then there are primates that have been taught how to communicate in sign language or how to...

thats only a partial explanation of lighting, and that a vague statement of similarities to the actual theory doesn't mean that its fully accurate. Where, for example, does it talk about electric chrage? or that ash and smoke can have the same effect? Or differentiate between hail and ice...

Well, the sun isn't burning, period, so thats a dangerous part to try to emphasise

according to present theories, thats not the case. or at least, from the last i read on the subject, it looks like the universe is expanding at a faster rate than it had been, so with it speeding up, theres no sign that the universe will collapse in on itself. Granted, this is dependant on if...

the thing with maths and science though, is that even if the complexities of it didn't exist prior to man, all the material contained within those subjects is based off of observable conditions of the world around us. its developed by observing conditions of the world and then, using advanced...

Mathamatics is in no way the same situation as religion. While one could argue that maths is a creation of man, it is an example of logic, not a creation of belief like religion. In religion, you are expected to, on faith alone, assume things to be true. Example being that in christianity, you...

Going to the moon was one element of the Cold War. If there was any significant proof that the moon landing was a fraud, the USSR would have made a very big deal of it considering it was a race between them and the US to reach the moon.

Bin Laden received support during the 80s from the U.S. because this was during the Cold War, and Russia was invading Afghanistan, and the U.S. was therefore supporting the side opposite Russia. Similar things happened throughout eastern Europe and Asia, and I believe even Africa, where the USSR...

In no way is that the case, at least on a societal basis. Neither American culture nor gov't uses God as some sort of tool to keep people in line. Many people will list themselves as religious, even if they're not, and even beyond that, the percentage considering themselves Christian dropped...

tarantino has discussed having a third way down the line though. like 15 years because he needs the actors to age.

keep in mind, he didn't get the most votes from the citizens of the USA, he just managed to have the electoral college vote him in.
