No actually I dont believe in God and Jesus because I want to be super safe. I was merely amused at the whole argument. You see all the people here acting like jackasses? Theyre all insulting Creationism like its a barbaric practice yet some of human's best creations are from believers. To even consider that it is acceptable and the majority of people nowadays to have no faith is more ignorant than not knowing all the science behind evolution.

I believe in God because humans are the only beings in this world with intelligent life of emotion and feeling. I have felt faith in this world and that is all I need to know to make my decision. You might mock me for being "ignorant" of the "facts", but this is my choice as a human beings. I respect yours, and as a fellow human, you should respect others as well.

But I guess there is proof for evolution yet in the animal like responses to our fellow man shown here. I bet it feels good to belittle others in the name of Darwin, who even doubted his own theories.

Creationism isn't a barbaric practice however it is an outdated belief. I never said that creationists were not responsible for many of human kinds greatest creations which is hardly surprising considering that it was considered highly unusual to not be a creationist until modern time.

I don't believe in god because I see no seperating line between humans and animals, we are indeed by far the most intelligent of animals but we are animals nonetheless. Dogs have intelligence, dolphins have intelligence, even fish have a form of intelligence. They also have emotions, my dog (which we picked up as a stray) had been beaten as a pup - he now cowers when you raise your hand and backs into a corner. Is that not fear? When my dad comes home from an overseas trip he goes mad and jumps all over the place. Is that not happiness? When our other dog died he refused to eat for a week. Is that not sadness?

Now I may have a different definition of jackass to you but I find people saying essentially 'You're going to hell for your beliefs' a shitload more offensive than anything I or most of the people here have said. All creationists tell us this, including you in your last post. I don't give a fuck what other people believe, I have no problems with scientologists (their church is another matter) or buddhists or hindus or christians I only have a problem with people who try and argue that their religion is scientifically sound (its not) and then proceed to tell me that I'm going to go to hell, I hardly consider that threat 'respecting my choice as a fellow human'.

Dolphins & Sea Lions beg to differ with your wide margin.
