ah yes, evolution vs creationism...
i LOVE that debate.
those people that claim that dinosaurs fossils were created when they fell out of noah's ark kill me.

well, the popular belief is that adam and eve lived about 6,000 to 10,000 years ago, but scientists have proven that there were humanoids long before that, like 30,000 years or more. what do you religious types think of that?

"I guess for some it's a better alternative than the Macro-evolution myth. Which I'm suprised that so many embrace."
People embrace this theory because it best fits the available fossil evidence and because it doesn't require belief in supernatural beings or miracles for it to fit together.

Christianity is good at retro-fitting. That's how it got it's start.

Brian - The humanist agenda has only been embraced in the west for a short period. I'm not short sighted enough to consider that certain issues like those being debated here are merely what we do "in the bedroom". These things can, given enough time, can have devastating effects on a culture. History teaches us this. It really does come down to one's view of truth: is it relative or absolute? I contend that if it's relative ("do what you feel as long as you're not directly hurting others, etc..."), then the moral fabric of our culture will be torn to shreds.

froww is using diff words. you must dintinguish between religion (which is the dogma of any church) and faith, which is... faith. He doesn't like humanism because humanism is the evolutionary approach to life that ends in personal death. He believes in redemption in another state of being by the way he trods this world.
independantly of what i believe, i utterly respect his way and hope he manages it. i just hope you can respect other people too froww. they'll come around their goals too.
you may think you're on the desert here; if you do, i'll tell you that it will take much more than 40 days to get your way thru ;)
peace.

wait a minute, if adam and eve had 2 sons then how did they procreate??
*thinks about mother-son sex action

Brian I feel there is more consistent scientific evidence to support the creation account. So, one of us does not have our facts straight. The fact that not a single transitional form has been unearthed is a devastating blow to the evolutionary myth, IMO. Not to mention that it violates scientific laws like the second law of Thermodynamics. It requires a tremendous amount of faith to believe the mathematical impossibility that certain chemicals generated from nothing to produce cognizant human beings. Faith I don't have. But... alas, this is probably another unproductive thread altogether.

Froww, this stuff didn't happen overnight...humans have been on the planet for less than a blink of an eye, in geologic terms. Took billions of years to get here.

well...I've never heard the argument about the "dinosaurs fossils were created when they fell out of noah's ark "...not very well thought out...I'll move on.
I think it's still possible for adaam an eve to have lived 6K-10k years ago...they have nothing to do with the predecessors of homosapians....

"The humanist agenda has only been embraced in the west for a short period."
Since the renaissance actually. Oddly enough around the birth of modern science. Since Galileo questioned the absolute beliefs of religion.

Must run... it's been a pleasure. Carry on.

The relative vs subjective debate is a false one. As well as the nature vs nurture debate. In reality it's always a combination.
