Religion is a hypothesis.

isn't it interesting that many don't have a clue the importance of or how to weigh evidence to arrive at the rational solution.

i guess it truly is part and parcel of why mankind has been and will always be in some sort of pickle

people CAN believe that a PICKLE could create the universe, we are in deep vinegar :D
 
Quote from vhehn:

have you even read the bible creation myth? without your inherited stories of long ago would educated men of today even concieve of a being that picked up a handful of dirt and made man and then took a rib out of a man and made a woman?

one can understand how primitive stone age men could come up with such nonsense because they had no concept of science. what is your excuse for still believing it?

Believe what? I didn't say I believe, or disbelieve either. The truth is, at this point, unknowable.

I fully expect you to achieve gnosis sometime after the universe achieves heat death. :D

The future of mankind rests upon my beliefs?:eek: The "evidence" is suspect is all that I'm saying.

do you believe the evidence 'for' is greater than the evidence 'for not"?

Once upon a time there was nothing. For no particular reason God decided to create the heaven and earth and now we are here. Cool!

Once upon a time there was nothing. For no particular reason nothing exploded in to something and now we are here. Cool!

To say that one theory is more absurd than the other is...well, pot, meet kettle. Both require more than a little faith.

Faith is belief without supporting evidence.

The Big Bang theory was postulated to explain evidence found by astronomers. It may be wrong, but it is not at all faith-based.

The God theory was pulled out of some ancient ignoramuses' asses. It is not at all evidence-based.

Science is not one of your strong points. :p

I don't think the evidence of one necessarily disproves the other. For instance, science has proven that evolution is fact, but that fact does not prove, or disprove the existence of a "God".
