I don't get what you're saying.

False. Just cause we haven't confirmed the exact process through which life began, doesn't mean it didn't start without the intervention of a creator. Although one theory of how life could have started was confirmed in 2009 by Jack W. Szostak, Elizabeth Blackburn, and Carol W. Greider, for which they were co-awarded a Nobel Prize.

The complexity argument is bullstuff. So what if something is complex? That doesn't mean that it was made by God, or that it was made through Evolution. It proves nothing.

woah woah, i'm not saying i agree with creationists. evolution may be a theory still, but it's got more than enough backing to become a law of nature.

Please define a law of nature because

Even if it was true, I don't think it can be a law anymore than the earth's rotation is a law.

Am I right?

What exactly did they say?

Complicated stuff involving telomeres, enzyme telomerase and chromosomes.

Interesting, very interesting.

I can only assume you're thinking something like "but you do the same thing!"
No, I don't. I have nothing against Christians as people, I have a great deal of respect for most of my almost entirely christian family (and the ones I don't have respect for have nothing to do with simply being Christian as my reason for not respecting them) , I just find there beliefs incredibly stupid.
The typical Christian attitude towards atheists (in my experience) is a lot worse than that, usually in line with the bible saying they are corrupt and can do no good.
Atheists are currently the most discriminated group in the US

I mean, what do you expect in a nation that has mostly Christians?

I don't really dislike Atheism I just dislike alot of it's supporters.

Gravity is also a theory. Seems to be working pretty well.

When I was a little kid, I didn't understand the bible very much. It had such weird rules. (e.g no eating shellfish or pork, no wearing mixed fabrics, no getting tattoos, no cutting hair, no premarital love, etc.) I surely thought god must have gotten more lenient up in the sky-land but since there is no way to be sure, you should be following them all. Obviously I didn't, forget that. t'was forgetin ladies left and right
Later I discovered evidence against Christianity and became skeptical, here I am, atheist.

I'll agree that some atheists are real circlejerkers.

Also to anyone saying evolution is a theory, so is gravity. :P

This would account for why their the most discriminated group, but really not for why some Christians hate them as much as they do

Every piece of science that attempts to explain something is a theory.
