Stop fuckin arguing. Believe what you want. Just keep i mind that almost every single religion calls for peace and harmony and living together and all that good stuff, and every time you tell someone they're going to hell, or they're completely and totally wrong about their beliefs; you're one step closer to hell cause you're judging.. which is a no-no. I don't care what people believe; some people need and want religion in their life to keep themselves afloat. If you hate, kill, or inflict other harm upon any person or animal, then you are not mentally or emotionally sane enough to have religion in your life.
Personally, I was raised with a few religions floating around my house christian, hindu, scientology, blabla.. and I think the bible and all other books of religion are full of shit.
But I don't tell people they're gonna burn in hell or suffer having no virgins in heaven and blah blah for not believing what I do.
IMO: religion just sucks. no real reason to argue and insult other religions as long as you're confident and secure in what you personally think.

Religion is not a crutch. It is the path by which true knowledge of the self is attained.
Despite popular belief due to the literalisation of the bible, this does not entail practice of any religion's rituals or traditions, but rather learning from the text, which in itself, when read as it was intended, serves as a pillar; not of hope, but of truth, because it is the lessons that are meant to be understood - not the story.

From personal experience, I have to disagree. I have countless times heard stories on tv, in the newspaper, and from my family and friends in which the following is almost always said:
"If I didn't have my God to hold my hand I would have committed suicide a long time ago."
A lot of people use it as a crutch. I have never met someone who didn't use it as life support in some way.

theory in science = fact
theory in everyday life = a hunch
learn the distinction and live by it. last i checked gravity was just a "theory" why the hell aren't i floating off into space?

theory
noun
1. a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory"
2. a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena; "a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory"; "he proposed a fresh theory of alkalis that later was accepted in chemical practices" [syn: hypothesis]
3. a belief that can guide behavior; "the architect has a theory that more is less"; "they killed him on the theory that dead men tell no tales"

science makes that distinction, but most people don't get it. every law in the sciences are in fact theories. the term you're looking for is hypothesis. Micro evolution is a proven theory, but humans most likely won't last long enough to view a serious retest of macro evolution unless; you consider the simple adaptations commonly made by people in everyday life, then you have Your "proof" of evolution in terms of the world of the large.
as i said learn to make the distinction between #1[science], and #2[layman] the term theory is only granted to hypothesis that have been put under rigorous testing and retesting, so please don't take the term theory lightly.
scientific theories are fact until another scientist or group of scientist finds a more suitable theory.
as a matter of fact Newtons Theory of Gravity was Debunked by the Late Albert Einstein ,ushering in the roots of theoretical physics, by; "discovering" or should i saw utilizing and proving [to a certain extent] his theory of relativity which is; Einstein's Theory of Gravity.
