Interesting idea, but unfortunately there is absolutely no evidence for it. Call it whatever you like. There's this book called the Bible, which has been around for a long, long time, and it describes the act of creation. Christians put a lot more faith in that version of reality than Charles Darwin's study of finches on the Galapagos Islands, which proves very little and certainly doesn't answer any of the big questions about our origins.
Dude, what I described is called speciation, and there's tons of evidence for it. Unless you choose to disregard the plethora of scientific studies done on the topic and choose to believe that god created each and every individual species from the start. There are hundreds of creation stories from all over the world. Is it not just as likely that any one of those stories are true, that some other god (or gods) intelligently designed the universe? Darwin's study of finches doesn't seek to answer any of the "big questions" of our origins, it was merely a study in geographic isolation and its effects on a species.
I'm thinking shooter is just responding because he's expecting people to over-react to what he's saying. As for the bible being some kind of proof, I would hope that he isn't being serious. Because there are so many contradictions in the bible, and portions that have been ignored (or decided not worth following) that you might as well say "an invisible being told me this is how it is. I have no way of proving that it's true, other then my story telling you it is." Wait, that is pretty much what he's saying. Why isn't what the aboriginals of world belief the 'truth'? Because they didn't write it down? Did the "evolutionist" create those towers of Buddha? What about Hinduism, and it's age? Was that all a political plot to discount your God? Which is harder to believe...an invisible thing made us, where there no proof of his existence, or that things evolve over a long period of time? One involves blind faith, where you can just answer everything by saying "it's gods way", and the other has tests to prove or disprove something. We can look out in space millions of years. We can see pictures of galaxies being created, and we can see planetary systems far far away. Are those all just an elaborate plan to discount your version of god and creation? If it's intelligent design, why are some people born with debilitating handicaps? Why are some people born with birth defects that doesn't allow them to live? Why are some people taller than others? What the hell is a donkey, if not evolution? Sure, man-made, but it's still evolution. What about a liger? Or a zebra and a horse? that's a new species, and who knows, it might end up being a replacement species in the long run (although that seems doubtful. Ligers and tiglons (a mix of tigers and lions..yes, that's real. Look it up) tend to have sterility issues, which I guess could be "gods way" of not letting that kind of evolution happen). I don't know how anyone can take someone serious who claims that the As if there aren't books (called science books) that describe the "act of creation". You may say that no one was around to see the "big bang" so therefore it couldn't be. No one was around to see your god create the heavens and the earth. It was a story passed down to explain something people didn't have the knowledge base to explain. You come up with a creator. Every culture has one, why is yours the winner? Because it's popular?
ummm, im pretty sure that dinosaur bones were just put in the earth by god to weed out the non-believers. i still vote intelligent alien experiment.
God was fucking with you! Giant flying lizards... you moron! That's one of God's easier jokes! ... it seemed so plausible! ahhh!
I personally prefer that we're all living in a simulation. Nothing that we know is even "real" to someone or something outside of the simulation. Like the Matrix, but different. Ed O.
If there's a sci fi solution out there, my bet is on Isaac Asimov's "The Last Question", a real mind-blower of a short story.
Wow, I missed this thread previously. That's some crazy shit you believe Shooter. Add that to the fact that you're a Christian who beliefs in karma...
