150 years. Just a thought. And don't think I am implying that there isn't millions of years in this. This just gives you an idea of our evolution can progress from the simplest of events. Evolution isn't...
QUOTE OF AWESOMENESS
It's amazing, Christians can't even make up a hell that non-theists would be scared of. In the end we get this multi-sexual acceptance with awesome food, intelligence, capitalism, etc. Pretty much what non-theists today are trying to make.
For example, most of Old Testament was simply the law of the land, just as being prohibited from tax fraud today. But now that it is more heavily publicized with the label "Made in Heaven" instead of "Hammurabi's Code" and other writs of law and man made scripture, it is interpreted as the...
A positive disposition could lead one to interpret more events in their life as positive, thus increasing the rate of positive things happening. But this proves what someone had said previously. Positivity is subjective.
So they're saying God can build a universe of spectacular sense, logic, and scientific worth. 250,000 species of beetles, billions of naturally balanced nuclear reactors floating through the midst of space, physical consistencies of the most advanced, mathematical nature, and more. But when it...

Similar to the thread on the most important number, what do you think is the most important theory in science?
Mine is Darwin's evolutionary theory. Its conceptual application spans so far outside of biology and can explain so much in the growth and progression in nature.
Yes. I can find no better evidence than Christiane Amanpour's report Generation Islam. Watching those kids in the madrassa really struck a nerve in me. If you haven't seen this report you need to watch as much of it as possible. I don't know how many more air dates there are for it, so find as...
From the vantage point of a certain religion, I've always thought of it like this.
Let's say a Christian, a Muslim, and I (an atheist) are in a room. The Christian tells me that I'm going to go to hell because I don't believe in his God and don't follow the teachings of Jesus. I ask the...
