These kind of debates are pretty much useless, not really worth bothering with unless you actually think there's a chance the other person will be open minded about it.

there is a chance with this one, just have to whittle away his pride and argue him into a corner

Religion and Science can not exist together forever. God only exists within the gaps science can not yet test.

I find the scientific explanation much more interesting and relevant than any fantastical bible story.

the scientific explanation is far more beautiful, and in my opinion its a long time before religion is gone, religion has always just explained what science couldnt understand, as it still does,

ancient civilizations used to believe plagues were caused by gods, when they were really caused by bacterium and virus' which we can explain today with science, its no different today, only we have way fewer gaps and even the few gaps there are , we now know it isnt logical to assume a "god" is causing them

its basic elementary science, and some may bring up, "the bible teaches good morals, values etc religion is good blah blah" yet these morals and values can be taught without the fear of punishment after death, which is completely wrong, and evil..

a world without religion would be a much more peacfeful world

Yea, that's the religious version of Smurf and Harlz.

Note how they directly insult opposing beliefs and only support their own?



My church even talks bad about evolution. I'm pretty sure as far as we are concerned it exists.

I've had talks about evolution with my pastor before during midweek school i think.

case and point

and its not "what do you believe" they should be asking
maybe

"what did this religious nut job with his own interpretation of an ancient book just  burn into your mind ?"

that would be a more fitting question, children at that age don't believe one way or another because they aren't capable of critical thinking at that age,

If your church denies evolution then I am fucking ashamed

most have at least had the intelligence to piggyback onto the theory and say god inspired it, but even that is fallacious

Also, putting harlz and smurf on nignore for sure now. Harlz is the one that made me do it.

typical religious nut response

"you've countered every shred of logic I have

now I will stick my fingers in my ears and start shouting"

I was never once uncivil, I wasn't trolling, I have a strong opinion on the subject and I believe it! and evidence, I don't see a need for religion AT ALL.


also what I am doing is not the same, I say look at the evidence think critically,

he says, deny evidence, we are right, they are wrong... exact opposite of what I am doing, exact opposite of critical thinking

I clearly stated my church doesn't deny it. I think you need to learn some reading comprehension bro.



You think you have me mad, but all i know is you are disrespectful and won't respect my right to believe whatever the hell i want. I'm not telling you to believe what i do so how about you stop trying to do that.

I really think your life must be pretty pathetic if you're willing to just try to disprove god to someone and trying to troll.

You are indeed trolling and any attempt to say differently is whole heartily a lie.

Also, I could kick your ass so be quiet please.



and now.
