Arghhh... sorry I can't help myself :-) [quote]As a religious book, sure, it's "valid." As a source of science information, it is not.[/quote] True, and it can be equally said that science is not a valid source for information concerning the meaning and purpose of life. The magical mix of chemicals is just as far fetched as any God. [quote]So when you make a claim, you don't have to defend it despite the lack of evidence? Thi

[quote]Frankly, I'm kind of annoyed at both of you. My original post was about allowing for both sides, and you two are going at the polarization of the debate.

[quote]The Bible gives an account of how the various organisms appeared on the Earth. Evolution gives another. They are contradictory.[/quote] So are you saying the Bible should be taken literally? There is no room or chance for more to a story? Are the red letters in the bible the only words Jesus said? [quote]I knew you would pick on this. The existence of God is an extraordinary claim.

[quote]Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The default condition is no God; if you claim that he exists, the burden of evidence lies with you, not with the skeptic.[/quote] Why not the default be that God exists? Then you claiming that God does not exits makes the burden yours. It all is a matter of perspective. One that you have zero chance of influencing and I likewise.

I believe in evolution, I do believe as Darwin did, that we evolved from apes. Now as for the story of adam and eve, well I believe that its a story with ideals behind it. Not everything in the bible is to be taken literally, in my opinion. Could the bible be literally true and still allow for evolutio

As opposed to the volumes of evidence for the existence of a being transcending our existence who created the universe and the human race from scratch...? Just one volume actually. <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-

There is scientific evidence for evolution, far more so than there is for God. No,sorry, evidence is not proof and the evidence is in question. Hence It is a theory. Question for you, Does evolution mean there is no God?

Wrong. Evolution assumes that evolution happened. Just because God did not wave a wand and generate species out of nothing doesn't mean that there is no God. Good point, I stand corrected. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF

For me, science proves God. Sounds crazy I know but as we discover the complexity, beauty, order and chaos that exists in the universe it seems obvious it is not all happenstance. Years ago I struggled with things like evolution, until I realized I was focusing on one item and not even the most important issue. Many people struggle with creation/evolution who otherwise believe in God. Because it is assumed that you must choose one or the

Insightful review. As a Christian I found it to be a strengthening factor and a painful reminder. I agree with your assessment that the movie is not a evangelizing tool for strictly non-Christians. Agnostics maybe if their background is Christian and and maybe others who have been looking into Christianity.

LOL, No, pointless because a lot of bad things have been done for many reasons including but certainly not limited to religion. You might as well point at a tree and declare it evil as well. It also is a blanket statement without substance. Is all religion evil? Funny nonetheless because it is a tired and typical statement.

Reply to The Death of Christ and the Jews in Religion JoeUser Forums

The Sanhedrin Jews that were present during the 'trial' were responsible for Jesus' death. But that does not mean Jews as a group are responsible. For the Christian I fail to understand why they would care blame anyone. If anything they should thank those responsible since without Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection there is no salvation. For anyone else (non-Christian) what do they care who killed Christ?

I agree with Brackard. I love GalCiv but my playing of it has dropped off significantly. Since the expansion pack with add some new stuff and improve things here and there I would certainly pick it up for $19.95 However, since it is not a new game or a new paradigm I would balk as it goes higher than that. Why, I dunno. It is not because I do not have the money. More of a value thing I guess.
