Tugz, I have a challenge for you. Try never using the word "stupid" or any of its synonyms (idiotic, retarded, dumb, etc) in this thread, or in Critical Thinking, again.

Re: A big problem for Evolution?

Hmm, a challenge you say? Sounds moronic.


XD...

(Yea, I did it on purpose.)

Re: A big problem for Evolution?

:\ I'm serious. Everything you say sounds about 100 times more convincing if you refrain from using insults.

When you insult others, what you are saying is "I need to put you down to make myself feel better. If I make you look stupid enough, people will start to believe me instead of you. And I think I can make you look stupid by calling you stupid."

Now, if your points are good enough, they should stand on their own without name-calling.

Besides, it's just rude.

Re: A big problem for Evolution?

You are right I guess, but I don't use insults to make myself feel better or make people believe me more.

I use them because of mah rage.

I will stop using them...
Poo face >_>

You’re lucky no one with a life would ever take the time to look through all your posts to see if you are a hypocrite

Oh, believe me, I am

But I think I use less insults than most people. I also refrain from them in any serious discussion. But sometimes if I am not being terribly serious, or I am just angry and not interested in discussion, well then.... it takes over.

No, when I first noticed you in the forums, we were fighting so bad I never took the time to read any of your other threads/posts.

Lemme see, what else can we discuss about evolution?

How did you find out that you were Athiest? Did someone tell you their ideas of religion and you thought they were right? Never actually believed in it?


Well, I always thought of Jesus and God as Santa Clause, only stories that were told to me. And when I got older and more intelligent, I realized that there obviously wasn't one. Luckily, my mother was Athiest also, so she never got mad at me... But my father doesn't like how we both are Athiest.

Re: A big problem for Evolution?

i understand... i remember the first time i told people i was athiest...and aparently im going to hell

Re: A big problem for Evolution?

I'm not an atheist, I'm agnostic-atheist - you might think it's almost the same, but to me it's entirely different. It means that I accept the possibility that there may be a God - however, most evidence points to the contrary.

However, nobody can disprove the existence of God.

I also like to think that if God exists, They are so much more knowledgeable and superior to us that it is most humbling and most respectful to Them to accept that we are but puny humans, and cannot begin to comprehend the ideas or intent of God, nor Their place in how we came to be. I also seriously doubt that there is a religion on earth that actually comes close to what is really going on. Science is closer than any religion. And naturally so - science constantly seeks the truth, so there is no other rational thing to believe.

WIth my mathematical mind, I like to think of it this way: the number of possible religions is infinite. You can create any religion anytime you want based on anything you want. However, only one can be ultimately correct. So the chance of any one religion being correct is 1/oo (one over infinity), which approaches zero.

Anyway, to answer your question: how did I come to realize it? Hmmm, not sure. For awhile I thought I was an atheist, but as soon as I heard the word 'agnostic', I knew that was what I was.
