giraffes are pretty much proof of evolution
What the hell? No they are not. Most certainly are not. If you are referring to the long neck that is adaptation to one's environment over thousands of years.

The big bang theory, that the whole universe was creating in a WTFBOOOM like thing, was that not out of nothing?
Not all of it. http://www.grandunificationtheory.com/history.bigbang.jpg

It's funny because mutation doesn't add any new information, it only deletes existing info or copys it.
So? Changing something in one chromosome can make it act way differently than before.

No, no no no no


Debating is good, healthy fun
Agreed. I find this topic far, far more intriguing that anything else going on the board at this time.

I did that because obviously people don't get it and I see more Atheists trying to force what they believe down peoples throats.
I don't see me as forcing science down your throats. I am simply providing scientific answers/comments to your questions/comments on religion.

I've been considering joining a debate team actually.

Well, that's enough off-topic for now

How did he grow hair
Mutation bro, mutation. http://novelty.wikispaces.com/Evolution+of+hair

OP made this thread to provoke a religion war.
I don't think so.

And, laying eggs somehow evolved into internal fertilization?
Ah. You must not be aware of the animals that are capable of fertilizing themselves. They are both male and female.

So, as I said, there was suddenly stuffloads of so-called evidence that "disproved" the existance of God and Heaven.
Actually no. There is no evidence that disproves the existence of god and such. It's that there is no evidence that proves them.


Suspected in the form of Ice comets, yes. It arrived. there are many other theories, though.
True.

At least I have an explanation that isn't circumstantial.
To you that is. I find science more believable than a story of a man who made an universe in a week.

And how did humans, or in fact mammals begin here?
single celled organisms and bacteria that formed from amino-acids which then evolved over millions of years
True. Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzHpQ5Sjk-s&feature=BFa&list=PL04069798F20AF8E4&index=11

They seem to think that atheists and agnostics are like free game because they don't already believe in a made-up man in the clouds who made all the matter in the universe in seven days and then decided to focus on ONE LITTLE INSIGNIFICANT PLANET CALLED EARTH for all eternity
That's because we are? Atheists lack religion. Why wouldn't they try to convert us if their god says so? They won't try to convert other people from other religions because they already believe in their own stories. Atheist don't believe in any stories so Christians think we are free game for religious convertion.

You can't feel gravity, persay. It is just there. You don't actually feel it. Or see it.
You can't feel magnetism, or once again see it.
Yes you can feel gravity. It is your most basic sensation. I can feel gravity pulling me towards the ground all the time. Me can also observe it's effects on other objects and measure it. But it's true that we cannot see it  but we can visualize it.
Once again yes. You can feel magnetism. You can't see magnetism itself but you can clearly it's effects on other objects and it is measurable.

Well, I'm a Christian as well. But I respect other people's opinions and I honestly don't give a stuff if someone doesn't have the same beliefs as I do. I understand that they have their own reasons for believing in what they want to believe in
Thank you. I wish there were more people like you.

Modification Help / Re: Changing transparency levels on models
« on: July 26, 2011, 10:39:07 AM »
All I can think of would be changing it to/from Additive/Subtractive in the exporter.
It doesn't effect the transparency level. That bottle is additive.

Modification Help / Changing transparency levels on models
« on: July 26, 2011, 09:54:14 AM »
Is there a way to change how transparent a material is? Because this bottle is far too transparent. It's quite hard to notice.

How come life has yet to be found somewhere else?

Oh, Christian, by the way.
Good question. There are several reasons. First there would need to be a habitable planet with an intelligent enough alien life form that is capable of space travel. Okay, not necessarily too hard to find.

Another problem is distances. The distances between stars out there in the universe are enormous. You would need to have a spaceship capable of velocities near light speed. (Roughly 300 000 kilometers per second.) Even at those speeds it would take hundreds, thousands or even millions of years for them to fly here.

Then comes the main problem. How slow light actually travels. Yes. Slow. Right now when we look at the night sky we see stars. We see those stars as they were millions or billions of years ago. One of those stars could have exploded 50 million years ago and we could still see the light coming from it. When an alien race out there takes a look at Earth (Another big problem, we are just one planet of many and there is no reason to look at us.) they see Earth as it was millions or billions of years ago. Barren. Lifeless. The aliens have no reason to specifically come to Earth when there are millions of identical barren lifeless planets everywhere.

Or, and I am leaning this way, if the Earth wasn't in the habitable zone, life wouldn't have been here to begin with.

The only thing the habitable zone proves is that life can't inhabit inhabitable places. Go figure.
Exactly.

Think about these things though... The Earth was placed at the perfect distance from the sun to sustain life - chance? A few miles more or less and human life would be impossible. That's only one example of the many miracles that seem extremrly unlikely to have occurred by chance alone.
Argh. Every time I hear that argument it ticks me off. Of course to us it seems like this really amazing thing that we are just at the right distance from a star where it is not too cold and not too hot. That is because life as we know it cannot exist at any other distance from a star! Every start has it's own habitable zone around it at which water can exist as liquid. Planets that have orbits within that zone are the only ones that, as far as we know, can support intelligent life. So there can't be any humans around in some barren rock planet thinking "Well this sucks, we are way too far away from our star so it's freezing in here" because they would not be able to exist in such a planet.

Explain how this proves there's a god.
Because god placed this planet on just the perfect orbit around a star. You know. Like all those other hundreds of similar planets around the universe that orbit the habitable zone of a star.

Suggestions & Requests / Re: A brick texture pack?
« on: July 26, 2011, 09:02:15 AM »
One update added a feature that shows brick textures to clients as they are seen by the host. So if you change your brick textures and host a server everyone sees the same textures as you.
