The fact that the odds of another universe out there just like ours is phenomenal, and points to God...He truly is amazing!! Just the fact that we have the right consistency of oxygen to breathe in this atmosphere (if it was only slightly changed, we'd be dead) screams that there's something out there way beyond our comprehension.

I think God isn't judgemental. He is the truth, He knows it, and He says it in the Bible when He confronted things that weren't right. Hate the sin but love the sinner. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Jesus Christ." -Romans 3:23-24

We Christians are by no means perfect.

..but we have a perfect Savior who died to save anybody--NO exclusions whatsoever--who will believe on Him! That's great news & a promise of God's love that I will continually live by. I owe my life to Him.

I love this website you've linked!! 

A lot of the arguments here would be completely eradicated if they checked this out!!! 

Blues, why do hate God so much that you think He is not real? Isn't nature proof of God's existence? I believe atoms and other sciencey stuff had to come from something. I believe that they come from God. That's the only logic I can come up with. 

P.S.- If I leave this debate at any time, I know I won. More precisely God will win, you can't defeat Him. Even if you try, you can't win.  

strawman" means that you aren't focusing on the key issues of my point, and instead you pick out insignificant details that don't really change the main idea.

Show me one article from a respected scientific journal that says that astrolopithicus isn't valid evidence of evolution.

Here is a condensed list of all known transitional forms. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-transitional.html

i do not call bits and pieces of the bible a myth. I assert that the large majority of it is a myth. The reason for this is because people have failed to show any evidence to support its claims. Especially scientific ones. On the other hand, evolution has mountains of tested evidence. Whether you want to call it a myth or not is up to you, but the facts speak for themselves. 

Show me non-biblical scientific evidence of biblical creation and i'll believe you.

I would be a hypocrite if I didn't read the bible. My second paragraph was towards the article, not you.

You take out bits and peaces out of the Bible and call it myth, when I can just as easily call it super-natural and evolution a myth. I did not associate atheism with droids. I did the opposite. I said 'Owning droids doesnt mean rejecting God'. As I have said above, the second paragraph was not towards you.

The Bible is God inspired. They (the authors) wrote for the Glory of God. God spoke to Moses (author of Genisis) about the begining. So, God is the author. Sorry I said 'created'. That was a careless mistake. But the 'chance' part wasn't. You are saying that nobody has free-will, it all happened by chance. Also, I don't know what 'Strawman' means. I am quite heavy for my age.

I agree with you that my second paragraph holds no merit. But there isn't any existing knowledge. I know that alot of paleontologists (both evolutionists and creationists) argue that most fossils found are not cave-man but some other kind of animal. If evolution is true, why aren't there intermediate links? I know that Australopithecus afarensis is considered an intermediate link, but after more research, it was shown that Australopithecus afarensis is actually an ape. I don't know how to aswer your last question properly, but micro-evolution is a scientific law where as macro-evolution is not. I don't beleive evolution is true for many reasons and one of them is the lack of evidence.

What the bible "has to say about science"? Are you kidding me? What aspect of the biblical creation myth, walking on water, and ressurction, matches up with factual scientific (or even historical) knowledge? Also i don't get why you associate atheism with "droids' and playing on computers, but i fully take that as an unvalidated assertion. Show me some stats that say that atheists are more likely to "play on computers".

PS: I HAVE read the bible. Have you?

since when is the bible written by god? you should at least know basic facts about your own religion. And no where did i say that the universe was "created by chance". First of all, i don't think it was "created" and second, i think it was chance because chance is everything. Even according to the god hypothesis, god created the universe by "chance", since he could have chosen not to. Your use of the word "chance" holds no argumentative meaning. So lose the Strawman approach and find a real argument.

In your second paragraph, you smush two separate things together. The boar tooth was obviously a fake (and no modern evolutionist insists that it's real, so i don't know why you think this holds any merit...), but that doesn't cancel out all other existing knowledge. Macro-evolution is a creationist-invented term. Macro-evolution, by definition, is just micro-evolution, but longer. If small changes happen over small amts of time, then why is it so unfeasible that large changes would occur over large amts of time?

Exactly what evidence do you have to make the ludicrous impliment that this entire universe was created by chance? We have a big book written by the creator himself.

Your aruguement has no grounds to stand on. You can't tell us that that macro-evolution is real because a scientist who neglects all other theories proved that it is real because it found the tooth of a cave-man! (Also, that tooth was later recognised as a boar's tooth).

I'm a teen and I love going to church. I don't think church is dull at all and whenever I'm there and I'm singing hymn's such as "Amazing Grace" and "This Little Light of Mine" I can feel the full power of God's love.

I live in the South and most kids down here still go to church. Religion has instilled morals in us and will always be apart of our society despite if you like it or not.

Our Pledge, the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and our national motto, all of this inspired by religion.
