    That's not the theory of evolution. The amino acids and so on.

    The theory of evolution isn't proven by any means. It's just that there is evidence upon evidence that suggests the theory is true. Seen over and over again, and its expected results taken advantage of in numerous sectors, from agriculture to medicine.

    It isn't flawed if it doesn't account for how life started. That isn't what the theory is about. The theory is about how once life has started, it changes over time and creates a large diversity of life forms.

    You are arguing against the theory and clearly don't know what it is about.

    When you say "evolution" are you talking about the actual process of evolution? You know, the literal meaning of the word? Because I am. Or are you talking about Darwin's theory of evolution? Or something else? If so, please say that instead of simply 'evolution'.

    Extinction level events have nothing to do with evolution, and the fact they've happened is certainly not a flaw in evolution. If anything, they underscore how life has evolved and has been opportunistic after those cautostrophic events.

    Darwin's theory of evolution.

    His theory does not explain how man came to be because we came to be in huge part due to an ELE that killed almost all the dinosaurs.

    Well thanks for being unclear and confusing, you could have saved me valuable minutes.

    Was god born alive, or hatched from an egg?

    Was god created by the big bang, or as a tool to manipulate the masses?

    Were god's parents just lousy role models, or are they blameless for his mass murders and other frequently sadistic moral crimes?

    Where was god's crib, or was he a transient?

    What was god's main ride?

    Was god gay, or just afraid of women?

    Why did god think anyone would give a rat's ass what someone with his obvious character flaws tells them?

    Was god cyber-bullied as a child?

    Boxers or tidy-whities?

    Where is god buried?

    No, you just want to make it into something it's not for some reason. Big Bang simply proposes that the universe expanded (is expanding) from a hot dense initial state. It was proposed as an explanation for evidence seen in the current universe, and as a theory opposed to static state models.

    It does not and was never intended to claim anything specific about what the initial conditions were (what "banged") or imply anything about external causality. Someone theorizing about those things would be making different hypothesis.

    Do you apply this to yourself?

    If I were to make the hypothesis that the websites and/or literature you're relying on for information about evolution and geology are in fact propaganda sites that intentionally obfuscate the evidence in order to appeal to people who are ignorant of science, would you dismiss my hypothesis out of hand? Are you able to take a step back and at least objectively consider the possibility?

    I think this is important for both sides. I'm an atheist, but I'm always double-checking, and trying to assess the objectivity of claims made in the name of science. As previously discussed with Denny the show Beyond the Wormhole (and a few others) drive me batty in this regard.

    Sounds a lot like a hypothesis to me. There is no way to know why the universe is expanding, so the Big Bang was slapped together, and has yet to even been close to be validated using the scientific method.

    Regardless of what you believe or don't believe in... Assuming that something can code itself by accident is probably the hardest or even impossible to prove. There hasn't been a single scientific observation of this happening.

    Every program has a programmer and every life-force needed a life force of some kind to make another.

    As far as the "big bang" is concerned, argument for those that disbelieve in creation, has a valid theory of how the universe is and will continue to be. It expands and will eventually contract back to singularity, then expand again... Wash and repeat.

    With God, everything is possible. I would assume he could make a dick the size of this universe with a blink of an eye. Probably be able to hold it too

    The difference is pretty simple... Science isn't faith is it?

    The one thing I find the most amusing about you and your atheism, is the deep hatred you have over something you don't even believe in. Theist must call out atheism, because atheism would ruin every moral fabric of their belief. But an atheist really shouldn't give a flying fuck. In fact, if I was an atheist, I would brush any theistic belief like water from my brow.

    I think this is the funniest thing about most atheist really... They really shouldn't give a rats ass about what anyone else chooses to believe in, yet most are butting into any theistic belief and trying to discredit the hell out of it.
