You're not very bright are you?

You don't pay attention to doctrine, or have never ever of creationism.

For one, just because you believe there IS a god doesn't mean you believe in creationism. Second, your form of atheism is JUST AS MUCH a religion as Catholicism is. You believe in it fervently and want to force everyone else to believe it too. I agree, people who believe in absolute creationism as it is set forth in biblical tomes are ignorant, but I have no more right than you to force them to change their beliefs.

What if one system of beliefs leads to greater well-being for a person, or a society.
Surely a State government ripping out the hearts of human sacrifices for the rain god isn't on par with a secular democracy? Why should all of our beliefs not be rooted in fact and subject to criticism. Or are your ancient partially secularized beliefs above such criticism?

creationism and evolution can co-exist. (not biblical creationism, mind you)

belief in "god" isn't a mandate to subscribe to religion.

the bible is pure fantasy, and not nearly as interesting as Greek, Roman or even Norse mythos.

the belief that the divine doesn't exist is pure arrogance. however, science will eventually quantify the nature of divinity.



just fanning the fire~

My question is, if your going to arbitrarily choose a religion and (if there is a text) arbitrarily interpret the text, why not just make up your own religion that at least lets you have premarital sex on a beanbag.

I am a biomedical engineer and a Christian. I spend my days researching tissue engineering (AHHHH STEM CELLS!!!!!!!!) but I also go to church and read articles on apologetics, and I love a good religious debate (there is ample opportunity for this, given the nature of most people I work with).

I'm sure many heads are exploding right now due to this paradox.

Yes many of us struggle dealing with the fact that some very bright people cannot see what is so painfully obvious.

Remember that time there were no eyewitnesses to Jesus' execution and no one wrote about it for 60 years because he's just a mythological character made up of folklore from other mythological characters? Good times.
