And come on, lay off the kid. It's a sensitive subject and he'll learn.

There are way too many adults like him to safely say "he'll learn."

If you've been taught your entire life that something existed, no matter what people told you, you would still believe it.

That's basic sociology, don't even try to convert Theists.

Evolutions' proof for me would probably the discovery of a cave wall imprint of an early human's flacid richard pressed against the wall.

Without a shadow of a doubt I'd know where we came from.

I agree.

So was I, just not worth the trouble trying to convert people, if they wanted to be open-minded and think about the universe around them then they would think about it on their own.

To a greater extent most of the fights over religion are picked by the atheists. We just know the theists line up the defense. Nothing is wrong with spirituality, but religion has hijacked morality and staked claims on it.

Just wondering here, if some of you guys think that the world is completely random, then how is science possible? Why can we expect the future to be anything like the past? Why should the laws of physics apply during the next hour? How can you trust your memory? Complete randomness just doesn't work. It can't logically be a science, seeing that science is based off of expectation that if you do something, something similar will happen each time you do it. It blows itself apart. So how is the idea that the universe arose randomly a science at all? Its 100% religion, pretending to be science. Think about it. You wouldn't logically decide that it would be best if you got under cover because you never know when gravity is going to stop working. The world, and the laws of physics are logical, orderly, always work, always apply. Just like God.

The UN meets every year and pays the "Gravity" tax and that's why we're always in a bind for cash. That's also why God requires your money and why bibles generally are never free (unless you're in Africa).

I pay the homeless man down the road 20 bucks a month so he'll keep the gravity on. Are you saying he's scamming me?

Of course not. 

You're late on your last payment by the way.

No because I paid a guy riding a giant bicycle in Boston the other day. The "DEAF GUY DONT RUN OVER YOU FUND" really is a charitable organization.

Wow. People that can afford to pay for Bibles do, but if there is a poor person in need of a Bible, they are provided for (for free). Also, God isn't the one using our money, the church is. It's not a requirement, it's a donation. God in the Bible asks that people donate some of their money to help other people more in need. Pastors don't get a base salary at all, and so some of that donation goes to them. Most people donate, so if a pastor runs a successful church, he/she gets paid more. Some of the rest of the money goes to the needy. The remaining money generally goes to upgrading the church (Pianos, microphones, guitars, etc.).

There is no "randomness". Everything has a cause and effect.
