Whereas is one word.
I'm just trying to help.
How is correcting my spelling helping the debate along?
A theory is a theory.  It is the most probable truth at the time, not a definitive answer.
A theory is just a theory, but they all have some evidence behind them. I do not see any evidence of God creating the universe.

Going nuetral to state a paradox theroy here:



Atheists: the universe was created by the big bang


Christians: but what made the big bang start, and where did all this material come from


christians: god made everything, (and loves us all N stuff)




Atheists: so what created him?(And if he loves us all then why do hundreds of humans live stuff lives?)






basically the paradox here is
/x/ created /y/
but what created /x/?
/z/ created /d/
but what created /z/?
and so on.


it's classified as fact by the scientific community

No.
A fact is very specific.

For instance, it is not a fact that when you let go of a ball in the air, it would drop to the ground as this cannot be guaranteed. The ball could very well fly up into the sky based on the density of the ball, or if it was magnetic and over a magnet, or any number of things. However, it is a fact that in general: objects with mass will attract each other.


The big bang theory is a very likely theory, however without any sort of time machine and ability to document it's occurrence, it is just as likely that the world was created by the slaying of a frost giant and his body was stretched out to form land, and his blood to form the oceans. (points if you get the reference to mythology)

8 replies later, I get to post this -,-

maybe that's why they classify it as fact?

I'm going to bed, and I am really the only Christian arguing here, so I suppose the debate is over.  Or delayed, if this must continue.

At the end of the day, there will always be separate beliefs, which leads to war, which leads to hate, which leads to more war.  The world is eternally forgeted until everyone believes the same thing, but that will never happen.

Oh well.

Yeah, a theory is a theory, but this is a scientific theory. There is evidence to support it. Without evidence it wouldn't remain a theory because without evidence it is nothing. Every theory should have some form of factual backing to it, should it not? If I theorized about how to improve public transit I'd need some facts to support why my theory is possible based on the current public transit system, city layout, etc.

We understand that. However, a theory is more than nothing.
Creationism is classified as a theory.

Well, at least we can agree on this.

Creationism holds no scientific value as there is no hard evidence.

Your mother is hard and holds no scientific value.

Creationism is classified as a theory.
I can't imagine Creationism to be an observable phenomenon.

The definition says that it is something widely regarded as true.
97.5% of the worlds population would likely believe in a form of creationism.

While this is hardly compelling due to humans being, for the most part, stupid, this fits the definition.

Becuase at the end of the day, as long as thiers two people on the planet, someone is gonna bludgeon his wife to death with a golf club want someone dead.

or until everyone decides to drop religion completely and tell god to forget off for making us so imperfect
