Products of Creation Science

Religion has no place in science and science has no place in religion. Be religious if you want, just don't pretend that perceived knowledge of a religion is tantamount to knowledge in any other field.

Sometimes I think all the world's problems could be solved if people knew how to recognize a fucking metaphor.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yes. That's the point of every post in this thread besides yours.

LordsSword, I think you're full of shit, but at the same time I agree with you that most of the people in this thread are idiots for posting line after line of "you fucking cunt-puncher" instead of just proving you wrong quickly and civilly. You know something is awry when the only person to make an intelligent, well thought out argument is LeHah.

How ya doing, buddy?

Predestination? You mean this fucker's a Calvinist now? He can't even seem to keep his belief systems straight.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That's not what Dull meant. It rained bread every morning during the exodus. They just had to pick it up every morning. You know, because they couldn't cook.

I can't make shit like that up.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I thought everyone would get that I was making a joke, but we saw how that turned out.

Most amazing jew boots

To me, that story just illustrates that people on both sides of this argument are arrogant dicks.

FELIPE NO

Bullshit. Christianity was fairly confined until Constantine I effectively made it Rome's state religion in the early 4th century. That's 300 years, not less than a year. It's quite a bit longer than that if you include the Zoroastrian mythology that the Christian mythos seems to have been based on.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It only seems like quite a statement until you realize that all of the major monotheistic religions are just variations on a theme. Judaism was built on to form Christianity, which was built on to form Islam. All three of these religions believe basically the same thing about God, they just argue about who wrote it all down best.

In any case, Hinduism is probably the best possible argument for religion as a geopolitical characteristic. I'm not sure there's any other way to look at it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I would argue that by and large, Christianity and Islam don't realistically advocate personal spiritual development. I do not dispute that it is possible to achieve personal spiritual development through those religions, but I think it's a tad idealistic to think that is the actual goal of either of these greater religious organizations.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
