Congratulations sir, you have made it to my profile. I have left an accurate description of the events that transpired here. I will no longer attempt to guide you in the correct direction after this post. There is a saying that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink it. Though comparing you to a horse severely insults the intellect of these creatures, I feel that it is an appropriate saying.
1. No, it did not. This fossil simply suggests that man evolved from a common ancestor. This affects deities in no way. I'm quite shocked that this fossil disproves the ten commandments! This is an incredible discovery!
2. Congratulations? What does this have to do with what I posted? By the way, the burden of proof is on you. Prove that God is dead and does not communicate with us. Prove that humans are observers and not believers.
3. Atheists are not immoral. You are correct that one does not need to be a theist in order to be a moral individual. I'm not sure why you brought this up though because it has nothing to do with your original claim or my rebuttal.
4. My mistake. Religion doesn't attempt to make a rigorous attempt at explaining the origins of man. Why? Because that is not the primary goal of religion.
Anyway, goodbye Jazz_Thing. I hope that you will educate yourself in the near future because your ignorance is astonishing.
Goodbye, you are only 14 years old, you have plenty of time to learn about how God will be eventually extinguished by Science.
I'm glad I made it to your profile because honestly, this thread has caused more controversy on this forum than anything thusfar. The inventor thread sucked.
Listen very closely.
The fossil, is the most complete assertion about the Origins of man TO DATE. This of course says nothing about disproving God.
However this is a stunning defeat for Religion, and you must concede to the truth otherwise you somehow believe that Religion can explain the origins of man.
God is dead because I never hear him, I've never heard anything about God being spoken except in the Bible. Furthermore if God were alive he would surely express himself in a way that would affirm verily his existence. I am perfectly happy with myself, my family, my vocation etc etc without a belief in God.
Hm, Alright I'll let you dodge my request to find a religion that DOESN'T attempt to explain the origins of man. In the mean time, let me tell you that the primary goal of religion can be replaced by scientific advancements. Try again.

The evidence already heavily weighs in on the side of Science (if the two must be seen as a continuum where one is right and the other isn't, which it doesn't) but it will -never- completely invalidate religion. Ever ever.
I have to disagree.
