Gotta give this point to him (its his first). Evolution and God can co-exist very well. Only creationists deny evolution as far as I know.





I have trouble with "I believe in science, but only where it doesn't interfere with my belief in god". :/

Yeah, I think so



You’re having a surgery and they tell you the surgeon has no qualifications - you agree to the surgery or you contest that the surgeon does not have a mastery on the procedure?

Because the lack of any objective evidence? Usually people believe things because they have evidence, like for example if they win the lottery, they believe it when the money is on their bank account or because the answer is extremely plausible like if I say to you I am 38. You probably believe me, because - as you said - why not? There is plenty of 38 year olds, so the claim isnt very much out of the ordinary, its nothing special so to say.

God on the other hand is a VERY extraordinary claim.

There is no objective evidence for him, so thats out of the question.

Also its not like there are gods everywhere and you just look at them or call them or anything, so you wouldnt just believe it randomly.
So my question as an atheist is, why do believers believe?
If all they come up with is personal, unverifiable experiences, than there is no reason to believe in god at all.


How do you explain human desires then?

Or the simple statistical fact that Christians are richer and happier?

I wouldnt agree to bullshit like that and I never said I would. Honestly, why are you so confused?

I have a problem with that as well, but god could still have made evolution. I mean...you know I made this whole topic. I dont believe in god at all. Still one doesnt overwrite the other here.

Lets say its just evidence, because faith isnt a thing.

So where is that evidence? Go ahead.


faith produces fact.

was the earth flat when the world believed it?

Cavemen mashed dinosaurs into oil so future robots could fly spaceships.

It just checks out, don't question it.

I see you have John Lennon Signature, Did you know about his song "Woman Is the nword of the World"

Blows my mind how someone can be so bold in asserting themselves while branding such things.



Yea what’s your point?

My favorite non-sequitur is the 5th commandment, Thou shalt not kill. Yet religions have been responsible for more killing than even 20th century warfare could achieve.
