1. Another theory is that humans and chimps are so similar because they share a common ancestor.

2. You could also say that energy and matter are the same thing. What we define as "energy" usually has a frequency and wavelength associated with it. If you consider an energy that approaches infinitely large frequencies and infinitely small wavelengths, you approach the description of an electron, which is part of an atom. Theoretically speaking of course.

3. Yep, this view is due to our relative perception of the sun versus the earth. It's totally understandable why people would believe this in the past because science was based on observation and at a casual glance it would appear everything in the heavens revolved around the earth.

4. Lol they don't, but humans do lack a "rib" bone in the penis that most other animals have. I was reading somewhere on the internets that ancient hebrew didn't have a word for penis so they substituted rib instead. Dunno. The bible has been through so many hands that the actual wording is probably butchered.

5. ditto.

6. It's more complicated that this, DNA is acidic, but this doesn't mean anything in terms of influencing its ability to store information. In an alternate reality, you could have many variations, like a left handed helix instead of a right handed helix or DNBase instead of DNAcid.

7. This is somewhat interesting since humans have been on this earth for hundreds of thousands of years. I wonder if we really have lost hair because we decided to wear clothes or if we decided to wear clothes because our genetics determined that we have less hair.

8. Hehe. Or maybe Adam was just the first "prototype" human, one that could store a shitload of information but couldn't tell right from wrong. Sounds familiar? *coffComputer?coff* God then decided to upgrade him with the tree of knowledge of good and evil. :D

9. This is also interesting. If you trace back evolutionary theory to the very beginning, you have a mish mash of inorganics that formed proteins. These proteins then began to self replicate. They became more and more complex over time. This is the driving force behind why living things have a desire to self replicate. This also seems to indicate that inorganic things actually have a desire to "live" or "think", which is pretty mindf**k.

10. I don't know about space and time being independent of each other. Suppose you have two points in space separated by 10,000 light years. Now, imagine space as a piece of cloth and fold it so that the two points are 1 light-second away from each other. If you could jump from one point to another, an observer would say you just "teleported" 10,000 light years away within the time it took you to jump from one point to another. To you, your body would not be moving faster than light, but to an observer you would. It's all relative -_-

Perhaps you should simply be respectful to other peoples beliefs and let them believe what they wish to believe, without trying to belittle them or sin some sort of arguament to prove that they are wrong.

If you dont believe it then thats fine but it doesnt mean somebody else cant or shouldnt.

See, but if we didn't question religion, the Reformation (Western World) woulda never happened and we would still be in the dark ages, farming away and paying ridiculous taxes to some king.

If you dont believe it then thats fine but it doesnt mean somebody else cant or shouldnt.

I don't want to associate beliefs with religion as religion is itself a seperate entity.

I was thinking the same. And you are just writing down information teached in primary school.

Also your statements proves nothing. If you really are atheist you would have given this deeper thought and by that realized that you can't prove either the existence of God or unexistence of him/her.


Since when do you have to prove the nonexistence of something?


since when do you have the authority to decide whether something does or doesnt exist? to say that no life form of greater capacity or intelligence exists, in and of itself exibits arrogant ignorance. our knowledge is limited to what we can comprehend. ultimately you are saying that you do not have the capacity to process something, therefore it does not exist.

doesnt deciding whether something does or doesnt exist basicly imply that you are god, and ultimately dont exist?

No. Shut up. Thats not what he's saying at all. I've never seen a Leprechaun, they don't exist. I shouldn't have to prove Leprechauns don't exist in order to say that. Same thing goes the Flying Horses, Minotaurs, Birds that burst into flames, Santa Claus, etc. Can i definitively prove those things don't exist, no. That doesn't mean that they are just as likely to exist as say people or bears or turtles. Not even close. There is a certain point where believing in what has never been seen and cannot be proven crosses the border of simple faith and goes into the retarded, that statement of yours crosses that border, friggin pole vaulted over it...

I am aware of the extremity of my metaphor. That was to simply prove a point.

All sillyness aside, how can we say that because we don’t have the ability to comprehend something beyond our capacities, that it doesn’t exist? Do you insist there are no beings of greater capacity and intelligence than we are? I have no proof that there is life on another planet within the universe, do I therefore insist there is no other life within the universe other than our own?

Everyone has their view on these things.

Though this war will wage on for a loooooong time. Opinions are hard to prove wrong...

But then I ask, why?

Don't try to bring god to the same lvl as material things like objects and animals, god is suppose to be an inmaterial being, therefor if you want someone to believe in your FSM that no one can see nor hear but you, you must prove it.

I love when these threads become exactly what people ask for them not to be.

As in:

An endless debate on religion vs. science.

You know, that debate we have every month or so that is completely futile and serves to do nothing but waste everyone's time? You. Are. Not. Going. To. Win. - And that applies to everyone in the religion discussion.

Just stop, please.

i like how you counter logical thinking with an attack of my credibility as though the 2 have anything to do with each other.

and whats to say that "god" is (would be)immaterial? how do you conclude this? concidering that it is claimed that human beings are fasioned after this (these) very being(s), would it then be safe to say that i too am immaterial(if this being did in fact exist)?

dont tell me what i can or cant compare "god" to if you insist he/they doesnt even exist.
