I beleve it was all to do with the movement of tectonic plates not the wrath of almighty god. I beleve there is no god because the bible was written by numerous people even for one part there are four different versions of the book of genisis (i think its geninis I know its one of the first ones)

and the main thing that makes me beleve there is no god is that its supposed to be male and supposed to have created the world and hevens in 7 days now no man would have done that much work on his own for not really any reason in 7 days it would have taken him much longer I'd say acoupple of years at least.


i hope you're being ironic... Everyone with a bit of common sense knows it's pure and utter bs that it would only have taken 7 days to create the world and life. more like multiple thousands of years. just like adam and eve, wtf? monkeys are our ancestors. The point is dont take the bible literally and dont use it to base your judgement of wether there is a god or not. The bible is only usefull for its parabels ( using simple real life stories that tell about good human behaviour), and its symbolism ( allowing ppl to interpret things in a way applicable to them). In the end interpretation lead to the different religions, but they all come down to a "force" that some ppl call god. I think the whole point of religion education in school and communion etc. is that you interpret that "force" in a way, and maybe this interpretation overlaps with a certain religion, or maybe not.

argh, i feel like the father in Seventh Heaven [addsig]

the 7 day creation idea is universally accepted as a metaphoric representation only. no one actually believes it took a week.. the number denotes phases, or time frames not "days" [addsig]

Thats exactly it gwil.


[EDIT]
I was getting at the fact that it supposedly took god 7 days to create everything yet it has taken me nearly a year to paint my room now if I was a woman then I would have done it in a day or two (or it could just be that im lazyer that most other people when it comes to doing things round the house).

That's right! Maybe a man has had a hard day doing REAL WORK and wants to sit down and have and damned beer! The woman needs to be cooking some food for him.

How many men does it take to open a beer?---

NONE, it should already be open when she brings it to you!

Umm... Do a little research sometime... There are several fundamental Christian groups (Mainly the YEC (Young Earth Creationists)) that DO believe firmly in this. They believe that the earth is only 6000 years old, and state that fossils were planted by God himself to test our faith. You can't make this up. [addsig]

sadly, this only goes toward the "ignorant" comment earlier stated

OK then my bad, some do believe it still. :/

Jahzel, I can honestly say I didn't even bother to read whatever bulls**t you're spouting.

You do realize that the government tracks every single computer on the internet and will have undoubtedly already read your posts and sent the men in black to your house. If you're lucky they may just execute you on the spot for knowing too much instead of handing you over to the aliens...

PS: Whoever said the US faked the moon landings is going to get a backhand.

Now, back on the topic of Lep trying to convert us all to atheism

atheism, i though it was continental drift and subjugation 101?

note: i cannot really recall the name, but its when one continent is forced under another.. India is drifting under Asia, hence the mountains to the north.

India isn't a continent?

I know what you mean though Orph, it's a real issue - but the rate it travels at (plates etc) is so slow immediate effects are negligible.

I think in about 30000000 years Britain is gonna land in Ontario, something like that.

I would actually venture to say that fundamentalist belief is far more widespread now than it was in the early 20th century. There aren't a "few" people who believe it. I would estimate that more than a quarter of church-going Christians in this country believe in a literal 7-day creation and a 6,000 year earth history.

Yup.

If you want to look at where the next big earthquake ought to happen it's right here in the northwest. The Cascadia subduction zone hasn't had a big slip in a long time... There is evidence that the Oregon and Washington coastlines have been hit by 300 foot tsunamis in the past. Bye bye Seattle.

I believe the prediction is that the Northwest ought to experience a 9+ magnitude quake within the next 200 years or so. Something like that anyway.

i've read this, something to do with the cedar tree's or something as definitive proof of the waves.

ofcourse the moon landing really happened. the thing is, armstrong's camera didnt work, so the government had to film it in a studio... creating all the confusion about wether the landing itself was real or not.

Side note: in belgium we have an interesting phenomena, a guy who is so convinced that the moon landing wasnt real that he literally goes to EVERY music concert/event and wears this sign and talks to ppl about it. and hes on this quest for atleast 6 years. for instance he says terminal velocity cant be reached... hello multi-stage rockets? :rolleyes: [addsig]

You mean escape velocity. If you want to reach terminal velocity, jump off a tall building. [addsig]

But what if there is more than one concert/event happening?!

....no wait, sorry, didn't read the being in Belgium bit.


Nowadays God serves only 2 purposes for the world:

1) A way to justify warped morals (you can always find a handy bible/koran passage that proves without doubt that god wants you to invade a country, or kill some little black people)

2) Something to scream at and blame for things that go wrong, but ultimately scream for forgiveness and salvation (after ignoring him previously all your life).

As far as atheists go, they will be the ones screaming for salvation the loudest, anyone who thinks that they proved to themselves that something as incomprehensible as a god does, or doesnt exist is either deluded, or hasnt even thought about it.
