[QUOTE="azimuth, post: 6147918, member: 566682"] this argument is a conundrum. it can't possibly be proven or disproven either way, especially when someone injects the word "faith" into the argument. that is the religious equivelant to playing the race card. it's meant to be an argument stopper, usually because one arguer can't credibly back up their position with fact. i happen to lean towards evolution, but i also haven't ruled out god. i have, however, ruled out the wizard like magic tricks written about jesus and god in the bible, by people who couldn't explain something as simple as lightning, or the shape of the earth. but that doesn't disprove god, it only illustrates our obsession with anything, or anyone, who appear to have answers/explanations for events and crisis. god in himself is a conundrum, or at least religions way of explaining him is. a peaceful being, of which millions have died fighting in wars that are in the name of god. an all knowing, all seeing god, who loves us so much, that he would burn us in a pit of hell for disobeying rules written on a tablet of stone, by a man who disappeared by himself on a mountain, and came back with rules for all people on earth. sounds fascist.
