Despite the hostility of my counterpart, I do agree with him.
It is possible. But then, have you ever stopped to look at how big our universe is? You're thinking on the small scale, the geocentric so to speak, if you look at how large the universe is, and how many religions there are, how can you say your God is the correct. How can you say it's not just a story. God himself wouldn't show himself to the world if he existed, according to you he bases himself on faith. So now, picture this if you can:
You're alone in a cave, and you haven't a clue about science. All you know is that you get up, you hunt, and you eat and poop, then go home and sleep. All of a sudden, lighting strikes in the distance. You've never seen this before and have no way of explaining it. You're scared stuffless. But being this higher thinking human you are, you want an explanation. In fact you demand an explanation otherwise you'll stay afraid. Eventually these stories evolve into what they are today. Stories are such a big part of our life, it's only obvious that they became such a center of society that they are today. Without them the world would be in anarchy.
Now, sure, God may exist, but the one you believe in is almost, as koolkody put it, improbable.
I'd stop arguing with religious people, if they'd just admit that they don't know, they're scared, and that they want to believe in God because of it. Not tell me "I know because the Bible tells me so". That's stupid.

You're saying that christianity is bullstuff, yet evolution is not believable by scientific standards.
Both are improbable as Swholii said.

Oh you're just hilarious. What you biblenuts really don't understand that beauty does not require a supreme intelligence to be created. Beauty is something we humans invented, a way to admire the world we live in. Nature's beauty is really just millions of organisms trying to survive. The beauty of the Universe is that there is order. Now, you might say that this order (i.e. universal constants, laws of physics, etc) requires the intervention of God, but the more we discover as a species, the more we understand (at least, those with an open mind) that this is less likely than it seemed two thousand years ago.
And the concept of Evolution is not that one animal magically gives birth to another. I have already explained this in another thread, so I'll just quote myself.
--- Quote from: Inv3rted on May 21, 2009, 11:15:37 AM ---You're an idiot. Do you even know how evolution works? When organisms reproduce, they replicate their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is the "blueprint" of everything about an organism. But, during this replication, some genetic bases are rearranged or left out of the giant molecule. These are mutations. Most of the time, these mutations don't make a difference or prove to hinder the organism's survival. By hindering its survival, it reduces the chance of that organism's mutated genome from being passed on to the next generation, thus saving others of the same species from that hindrance. But, very occasionally, a mutation helps the creature. This means that it has a larger chance of reproducing, and so this change continues on with the species. Over millions of years, these genetic changes make the entire species different, and may create two species with a common ancestor. The reason why you have not seen apes evolve is because the process takes millions of years, and many generations.
Also for you people saying that there has to be some intelligent design out there because the odds of the conditions being perfect on Earth for life are next to nil, well I have to say that the Universe is a giant place and has existed for 13 billion years. There is no reason to believe that life could not arise solely by chance, given so many planets and so much time. "Give a million monkeys a million typewriters and a million years, and they'll create the works of Shakespeare."

And koolkody, evolution is completely supported by modern and legitimate science. I say legitimate because someone saying that evolution is scientifically impossible is obviously disregarding the facts and is biased, due to religion.

Wait what?
I said God was improbable. A god is possible, but improbable.
