Evolution/Creation 2 (aka Religion III)

[Cerek the Barbaric]

This thread is a continuation of the discussions started in the original Evolution/Creation thread.

Not surprisingly, the discussion soon focused on religious beliefs (or lack thereof). So this new thread is designed to incorporate ANY topic that is related to religious beliefs of ALL varieties.

ALL views are welcome....just be nice and show respect for one another.

To me the whole debate seems rather useless, both are fundamentally founded upon faith. Either faith in your religion or faith in your science. Both espouse "facts" to throw at each other to try and turn the tables in the debate but when it comes down to it you have a belief in one or the other. Until either one can show unarguable proof that they are right it will continue. At this stage creationists put their faith into their personal experiences and the tenents of their religion, evolutionists put their faith into scientific discoveries and the enormous cosmos of the unknown yet to be discovered. So who is to say whos right? Either way you all have faith in what you believe is right.

There is no "faith" in science, there are only theory, observation, and demonstrable facts/proofs.

You disrespected my views by taking my post and twisting It deliberately to fit in with your own beliefs and views on what I had written, without even trying to deal with the issues it raised.

Wasn't a nice thing was it? Just remember you have made insulting generalisations repeatedly.
