Are you religous?, And Why? Options

[vash1530]

because of the recent debate i've been having in the "Jesus... is he Gay?" thread, i've decided to make a new thread so that I can argue eith ppl and not be off-topic. When anyone is ready, ill start the assault.

1) People need to start proofreading their posts. ><

^ Illiterate? You mean reiterate?

2) ACTUALLY, the current upheld theory DOES explain where life came from.

Millions and millions of years ago, when the Earth was cooling down from the large blast that had created it, many large asteroids were still flying around space from the blast. As would be expected, some of them ran into Earth. These asteroids contained the nucleotides that are found in DNA (Thymine, Cytosine, Adenine, etc.). These nucleotides synthesized themselves along with the elements present from the blast to form a sort of "molecule soup". Over time, the "soup" grew and formed into tiny matters of life. So, the theory that I accept as truth (because, to me, that makes a lot more sense than 'this guy came out of nowhere and created everything with his awesome powers and stuff') does indeed present an answer the formation of life.

3) The point Nate was trying to make about atheism not having to explain things is that the view doesn't try to explain things. Just because most atheists accept evolution as truth does not mean they are one in the same. Most religions present an explanation for life and to be a follower of that religion, you must accept that religion's explanation as truth. Atheism does not require you to have any view on the origin of life except for that a god did not create life.

4) Miracles are unexplained? Ever heard of coincidences? Sometimes, things just happen. Events don't need assistance to occur.

My "belief" does explain things. There's no need for me to accept something that isn't true. Having no faith in a god isn't stupid; it's logical.

*sigh* Yes, sorry. Dang it.

Where is this at? I'm not saying you're lieing, I just would like to know more about it.

Ah, okay. I didn't gather that.

That's your opinion. Question: Have you ever heard of the Chaos Theory?

I never said it was stupid, again I say, that I am an athiest. The wole reason i posted was that vash seemed to be a bit arrogant in the matter.
