It really isn't that interesting if you're not willing to even try to consider any other view points but your own.

const char attitude[] = "<shrug>";

I was fine with the various replies actually... until I start seeing insulting responses like:

That's where I realize I need to delete my posts to avoid people trying to drag me into a debate I no longer wish to take part in.

I usually do that with debate-threads that I know I'll get heated in; but there have been too many of these threads since the last one I posted in to let this one pass by unscathed.

This.

Although dunno.. Kinda of, what you have said is said.. If you're off the thread, just leave it. Well, make sure no one is awaiting for your specific answer on something.. Let'em know you're off and go off. Why delete?

And..
I thought there was some way to actually delete. Perhaps it could be useful.

Good thing, indeed. I'm a freaking ninja like that.

You haven't debated a bit. All you've done so far is make claims without backing them up.
You claim that God exists, but fail to provide a definition, let alone evidence.
You claim that the Evolution theory is wrong, waving away the overwhelming amount of evidence (and common sense) that supports it, postulating an alternative for which you cannot provide any evidence.

Now, instead of debating, we could also just try to open-mindedly exchange religious thoughts and ideas; I'm always interested in what people believe in and how they make sense of things - it's how I made up my own spiritual mind. Just please don't make any claims about the "truth" unless you can back them up with evidence.

And to settle this one once and for all: Being a true Atheist is not the easy way out. In the absence of a God, you'll have to face the existential questions yourself:

• why are we here?

• what happens when we die?

• what is the meaning of Life?

• where do we come from?

I've found my answers, but it was quite a wild ride. Accepting a God and taking someone's word for it would have been way easier.

BTW. Why is it that I've never heard about creationists being active in Europe?

Excepting the pope...
edit: No! It seems, even the pope has "accepted" the theory of evolution, i. e. said it was "worth of study".

Is it too late to say "in before lock"?

I kind of enjoyed this response. It's amusing, and I think it makes a good point — things that are so similar usually have very good reasons for being so. The '74 and the '72 share the same origin, as do humans and apes.

But the main reason I'm posting is to point out that it might be better to say that the the '72 evolved from the '74! I don't think any of us expect that an ape will somehow morph into a human over time. That's not how it works. But rather, each new generation is not quite the same as the previous generation. What I'm trying to say is that although the '72 will age and may become more similar to the '74 over time, the '72 is the new generation – slightly different from the one before it. So if anything, I'd say the '72 evolved from the '74.

Does this mean that people with absolutely no interest in being religious are infinitely smart? That doesn't seem quite right. Actually, maybe you're just trying to be funny or something, but I think what you said was pretty rude and unpleasant.

Is that a computer-generated-best-guess-at-what-jesus-really-looked-like picture?

It's a computer generated image, it is visible.

seems like every thing we talk about on allegro show up on yahoo the next day.
