So why do Jesus disciples carrying swords to begin with if he is a pacifist...why does one of his 'disciples' cut a mans ear off?
Why the great flood? Why the killing of first borns? Gods no pacifist its just that some idiots think pretending to be pacifists makes them look pious like the popes virginity!

I wish these "doctors" of theology had to take some actual science in their studies. Then they would learn what logic and reason is.
He perpetuates disgusting intellectual hogwash and ignorance.

How incredibly naive these Creationists can be. There are holes in every scientific theory. No scientific theory explains everything. The qualification a theory has to meet is completion of the scientific process, so to speak. In which the hypothesis is validated by experimentation. Evolution meets this qualification. Life inevitably changes. This is a fact.

Political cause? If by political cause you mean that I'm trying to restore integrity to modern science, then yes, I have one.
Most evolutionists, it seems, will believe just about anything as long as God isn't involved. Evolution never addresses how life began. The theory that attempted to explain such, abiogenesis, has been downright disproven.

But evolution and gravity are different. We can see the theory of gravity working all around us. We have tested the theory of relativity in laboratories with particle accelerators. Evolution, on the other hand, is a different issue entirely. The Scientific Method is not involved in it at all. I believe that if a theory is disproven even once, that makes it false. There are too many holes in evolution for it to be considered fact.

The same reason Scientist name "The THEORY of GRAVITY, the THEORY of relativity. THEORY in professional science means that its based on FACT. Get it? Surely you don't argue the theory of gravity...
The point is, THEORY means something different in professional science than it does to the average layperson. Religous people never point this fact out. They use it to confuse people or to distort information and their political cause.

Morality is innate. Anyone who denies that, is fucking retarded.

Parts of the Bible are clearly meant to be metaphorical--the Book of Revelation, for example. However, I don't see any indication Genesis is meant to be read that way. I also don't see how you drew the conclusion that water was meant to represent space--nothing in the text suggests such an interpretation. It seems more likely that the writer (or writers) of Genesis had no way of knowing what the universe was like and were wrong for that reason.

Actually, it is symbolism. They're likening space to water. |
