Who here is christian?

What you're thinking of is called "The God of the Gaps." Its basic premise is "Science can't explain 100% it at the moment, therefore god did it." Which, from a scientific standpoint, is fundamentally flawed.

i'm actually pretty sure that he was saying that a god could have done it considering that there's not solid evidence it wasn't

It's possible, yes. But keep in mind that to claim that X is true because there's no evidence X is false is a fallacy. You can say it's possible all you want, but as soon you claim that it is true it becomes a fallacy.

i wasn't saying "god could've/did do it cus science can't explain it," i was more so saying "at this point it's just as good an explanation as any other," which in turn is just a fancy way of saying "who forgetin knows dude lol"

my explanation was also pretty oversimplified because i didn't figure it was necessary to get the main point of "actually the big bang doesn't quite try to explain that" across

I'm also a Christian.

[clarke9901]

I'm satanic

[Remurr]

i grew up in a christian family but i've kind of diverged away from christianity. i've been baptised but i'm agnostic now

i've kind of gone on my own spiritual track-- i don't discount any of the christian beliefs, i just like to explore stuff that isn't in the bible, such as other sacred texts. still, i take everything with a grain of salt

whether you're religious or not, it's very interesting seeing the fact that the forums are mostly irreligious, compared to just about any physical place in the world

What do you expect from a forum full of 16 year old Liberals?

What do you expect from a forum full of 16 year old Liberals?

is this supposed to be a negative statement?
because 16 is old enough to make a decision on religion (rhyme not intended)
and "liberal" isn't an insult, neither is "conservative" or "socialist" etc

or maybe i just misinterpreted it in which case carry on

it's more like the majority of christians/catholics are more conservative than liberal-- i don't think he meant it as an insult :p

true
it's just that usually "What do you expect from ____?" is negative in nature
