"Oh by the way, why is the world round and floating in outer space upon nothing?"

The bible doesn''t say anything about this. Where did you get that information? At that time it was commonly believed the world was flat, as I''m sure you know.

Just a question I am curious about: how did you come to be born again? Most people are given a religion at birth (i.e. "this is a Christian child, this is a Muslim child"). That leaves little room for free thought - which you are clearly an enemy of.

I find it unfortunate that you despise me so much because of what I say here...I do not despise you. :( Like I said earlier, all life has value. I just think you have an arrogant, know-it-all style of argument. And I think most people of your religion would agree.

So we meet again.

Just because you keep opening up the book and saying...look! Look here! It says it here! (i.e. "Only a fool says in his heart there is no God, and that''''s scriptural buddy, it''''s not coming from me.") In fact, such statements weaken your already baseless arguments that your religion is the true one. It does not mean that you have any solid evidence for what you believe just because it says it in some book. You have faith singing Rick, faith. Ask yourself why you don''t believe in Allah as god and you will understand why I don''t believe in your god.

I find you incredibly arrogant rick. I won''t sink to your level and call your thoughts stupid, but it is incredibly arrogant the manner you have of trying to convert people. It does not serve your cause. I highly doubt you have ever had any success converting anyone with that strategy. You seem to think you know the way things work. I never said I did - hence "agnostic atheist". Scientists don''t claim to know everything either.

Evolution or creationism???? if anyone has read and studied this miracle of a world we live in not just the bible but actual proof of the way animals evolved anyone with a thinking, reasoning mind would see that there is something to this evolution theory stuff.That it was all started with one big bang accident.But That is where your thinking and mine differ.When I think about the earth and all the miracles it holds my thinking is "how could this all have been a big accident?"Just think about the ecosystem, how the minutest difference in speed could send the earth could send the earth and everything on it hurtling into empty space.No it was no accident it couldn''t possibly have been and these scientist know it. They searched the universe, billions of lightyears , and haven''t found anything to compare to it.And that is why I beleive in an almighty Creator.A loving and caring being who loved his children so much that he created this miraculous place to live for a while until we''re ready to go to a heavenly home.I truly don''t know how it was done but I am sure it wasn''t an accident.

One more vote for evolution here.

Only in America are there so many people insane enough to disregard one of the most clearly defining, and uniting observations ever. The age of reason is fading into the past here, apparently. It''s strictly and us-against-them universe now, with brand loyalty outweighing all other attributes to personality.

By the way, denial of evolution is one thing fundamentalist christians and muslims share in common.

lastgoodgirl, way to avoid the questions. I''m really sorry that you believe in evolution, and that life as you know it a cosmic mistake. If that were true, it would mean that your life in general is a mistake and therefore utterly meaningless. I pray that you change your mind about God and do not have to spend an eternity apart from him. And I wouldn''t be so cocky about teaching evolution. If you''re so sure it''s the right way, what''s the harm in teaching it alongside creation and allowing students to participate in a debate? In the end, you place your faith on a cosmic accident, and that is truly sad to me.

I''d like to continue with this mindless banter, but I have a class to teach. Hopefully, to one of your kids. Thanks to the constitution, I can teach evolution in almost every school in the country. The best part is that my class is required by most UC''s as a prereq. Now, that''s job security!
I look forward to warming up on you two again!
Thanks!
