I wonder what happens if we find (intelligent) life on other planets? Does anyone know what religions think about the fossils that are supposedly from Mars? Anyway, finding intelligent life on other planets will severely screw up most religion beliefs. Perhaps thats why there is all this coverup around aliens, to avoid massive panic __________ |

Quote: Bible said God created people by his look. I wonder by whose look did he create those other creatures.
They obviously look just like us. Don't you watch Star Trek? Quote: Does anyone know what religions think about the fossils that are supposedly from Mars?
Best to leave those fossils from Mars where they belong: in science fiction stories. |

I don't believe in intelligent life on other planets, either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

"Intelligent Design"...If God is so smart, how come he created science then? To make us doubt? -R |

That's because science is made by satan! Nooo, we're all doomed! OpenLayer has reached a random SVN version number ;) | Online manual | Installation video!| MSVC projects now possible with cmake | Now alvailable as a Dev-C++ Devpack! (Thanks to Kotori) |

Quote: Best to leave those fossils from Mars where they belong: in science fiction stories. heh, I didn't know that. I red about them some years ago and I haven't red anything about these stories being wrong. Too bad On a similar topic, aren't there several missions planned to find out if there really is/was life on Mars? They have quite good reasons to believe there once was open water sea there so life was probably not very unlikely. Quote: Read "Out of the Silent Planet" by C. S. Lewis. Hmm, roughly 100 pages. I might read it if I put Isaac Asimovs Robot, Empire, and Foundation series aside for a while Quote: I don't believe in intelligent life on other planets, either. I don't believe in intelligent life on other planets, just as I don't believe in God Quote: "Intelligent Design"...If God is so smart, how come he created science then? To make us doubt? Why did he made people able to not believe in him __________ |

When I was in high school, I believed in Evolution because my teacher told me to. I stopped believing it a few years ago when I went and learned about it myself (and no, not from religious sources Go ahead. Teach Evolution as Gospel and never mention the failings and challenges to the theory in the classroom. You'll just keep producing more of me. -- |

Sounds like you found some really retarded people to ask. How about you ask some real scientists who can explain it to you proper? Or are you ignoring them on purpose and just looking at the easily dismissable kooks? -- |

Just so I know whether it has the X-G Seal Of Approval, are those "really retarded people" and "easily dismissable kooks"? -- |

Come on, that's a faulty argument, and you know it Not to say I'm criticizing your beliefs, I'm a spaghetti monsterist myself. -R |

But what evidence do have religious believers, for their faith ? |

The genetic sciences, vast fossil records and scientific studies done which show (slowly) evolution occuring now makes it hard for me to doubt the general idea of evolution. As for the precise details, I'm ok for people to argue about them. Do you doubt genetics and the evidence of evolution 23? |

Not sure sure I understand the first question; do I doubt I have genetic code? Not really. -- |

What about domesticaded pigs, sheep, dogs and other animals? They are not yet a new species but not too far from it I think. __________ |

Well, here's one example of possible evolution in humans: |

Quote: possible evolution in humans That's completely silly. There is no mechanism by which more intelligent people are selected for breeding. Humans will never evolve without something like fascism to do the selecting ...and I'm sure that we can all agree that this will hopefully never happen.
