As a fellow Britannian, I know for a fact that Lord Oxford was not making up facts about making up opinions on evolution. We all knoe that evolution is pseudoscience that came from all the New Age crap of the 1930s and only exists to deflate the value of the world's unsung hero, the (protestant) preist. Besides, doesn't everyone know that Lord Oxford moved from America during the Great Depression to escape American rule over the British colonies in Europe?

DannyW Im not going to ask your views on abortion and gay rights because I already know what they are but are you also anti-feminist and against religious integration?

Im also wondering which part of Christianity you follow as it seems to have splintered into so many different sects. Also wondering which way you vote in an election seeing as Im guessing you go with the most fundamentally Christian party.

(Also, does DannyW come across as antagonistic to anyone mainly because of his profile picture?)

I only follow the true religion of God, protestanism. Everything else is just a cult that stemmed off from the protestants ,even modern Catholicism, as the old Catholics weren't really christian. The only branch of christianity I accept is the anglican church, because the good King had to keep his hoes in line and the evil catholic pope wouldn't let him. I'm nota gainst religious integration, as long as they all drop their beliefs and take on mine. And FYI, I vot independent, because all of the parties are big pussies. Blasphemy should be a crime.

I would have guess either the Christian Party or the CPA.

On another note I was ignoring all the comments about you joking about this before, after the mentioned the good king's hoes Im not so sure.

Another thing most people don't realize is that atheism and evolution are in fact religions


Do explain. Why? Because I am not an evolutionary biologist, I can only assume that the people who are are correct? and because of that, I am putting the same faith in them that religious people put in the bible? I could see how that would make sense, but it isn't really relevant and if your trying to use that as an argument against atheism/evolution then  you've failed from the get go.

Actually I was just stating a fact that most people don't know about.  A religion is basically a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe...sounds like evolution to me...

Its just rather funny that atheists say they don't believe in religion yet most believe in evolution which is basically a religion.

The key concept of religion is faith. Every religious follower has faith in what their holy books are true. Evolution is not a religion since it does not require faith. Evolution has been beyond reasonable doubt. The only reason some don't accept evolution is because it contradicts their bronze aged text books. Evolution does not explain the universe. It only explains the diversity of life. Putting evolution as cause for everything is about as stupid as saying the Book of Genesis created the universe.



To put simply I never have never will...

At the risk of sounding stupid, I have no idea what a Poe is.

And noticed the new line in your signature which has confused more me as to whether your joking (unless the line itself is a joke)



A poe is a scary ghost that link meets on the Hyrule fields and in graveyards. If you ride your horsie a Poe will try to catch you like a fish, as if it is reeling you in. I am trying to say that I am not trying to reel you in or pull your leg. A lot of people I kno don't have much respect for God's people anymore, but I live with that because deep down I know thet we are living in the end times. The new line in my sig is a reference to the time when my mum saw my stare and  said "you look absolutely like an adorable serial, lady-killing rapist!" We all laughed, but dad had to stop it because he couldn't let mom show emotion around the kids.

The key thing with creationism that I don't like is that they will believe what is said in their holy books regardless of the evidence presented. Most even admit that like Ken Ham(leader of Answers in Genesis), almost every member in the Discovery Institute, and many more. That's when it becomes rediculous. When people have to delibrately ignore evidence to satisfy their sacred text, that is when such belief is not tolerated. The existence of a god can be believed since there is no evidence against it (though there is no evidence for it either), but evolution has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt. Evolution is a fact.

I agree. Quite often when debating with Creationists they remind me of those who believe the moon landing was a hoax, in terms of being selective about what evidence they accept.

You can throw all kinds of valid evidence at people who believe the moon landing was a hoax: We've taken photos of the lunar landing sites of Apollo 11 and 14; we've placed a reflector which we use to accurately measure the distance of the moon, which could only have been put there by man; we've seen the video where the feather and the hammer fall at the same speed, which would be near impossible to do on Earth; etc...

But no matter how much of the evidence there is proving man has been to the moon they ignore it. But they are willing to accept without question the starched flag with a pole through it that bent a little as proof that man has never been there.

I'm sure somebody is going to poke a hole in my comparison, but I swear I have felt like that a fair few times.



@ all the comments about how eyes and legs couldn't have 'evolved' instantly, i agree, they probably didn't just appear instantly, but that isn't proof that evolution is false

imagine an organism starting out as a single cell, it duplicates until a large number of cells is accumulated, we now have a 'body'

this 'body' needs nutrition so a feeding system is developed where materials needed for the chemical reactions in the cells are delivered to each cell, the body needs to get rid of waste products so a system to get rid of that waste is developed aswell... the body gets more complex therefore not all cells have direct access to oxygen, a dilevery system is needed for that too

the chemical reactions that make up the cells are sensitive to energy and to their surroundings, if some cells specialize their structure to take advantage of these facts, it's possible that a light (energy) sensing system could be made and so on

this would probably be happening before developing a conventional reproductive system so 'natural selection' would have occured after all those things and offspring would not have any place in this equation. does anyone else think this makes sense?

btw, i don't really beleive in god, though i don't like 'announcing' it all over the place. i also would like it if there infact was a god after all and that all of us would live for eternity, i'd probably go to heaven as i consider myself to be a good person (good like causing no harm to others... etc, not like we need religion to know right from wrong)

and @ anyone saying that atheism is a "religion": first of all, think about what your saying here, secondly, :-O ... and third of all: this
