I'm referring to all of evolution, that caused life to progress from single celled organisms all the way to the myriad species, families and 'kinds' that we see today. That includes us. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

If it couldn't have possibly happened in the past, why are we getting our panties in a wad over it now? I suppose an explanation is too much to hope for? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

If all you watch is daytime soaps and identi-kit sit-coms... Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You would end up further down wind but no further (in fact less far) crosswind. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I believe you are wrong. The release of latent heat when moist air borne upwards in thermals condenses in the cloud adds to the updraught. This is not an issue for most of what we encounter but for big, big Cu-nim type clouds it is a very real issue. The cloud suck under the base of one of those will be much greater than any thermal activity. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I wonder what your point is here? Are you saying that if we let gay people marry then they'll take excessive maternity leave, move to the ghetto and start pimpin' their biatches and making hip hop music? I for one will not stand for this outrage! Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Umm, no, not really. Global warming is accepted by the majority of the scientific community, evolution is accepted by the entire scientific community. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yep, from the Norse 'Hel' the place for those who died ingloriously. Also the name of the Giantess who rules it. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Bastards! I can't believe they'd get away with that sort of shit with 'normal' private possessions, or would they? Edit: How much was it worth, if you don't mind me asking? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I'm sorry but you clearly do need a much fuller explanation if you are going to make assertions on the subject. The origins of life from non-life is called abiogenesis and is seperate from the theory of evolution. Evolution is the study of how living things evolve and how new species emerge. Evolution itself doesn't care how life originated, it explains what happens once life exists. Also, evolution is a theory but it is also fact. It is fact that species evolve, the evidence is overwhelming that they do so. The theory part is our explanation of how it does so - the theory of evolution through random mutations and natural selection. While we have a pretty damn amazing understanding of how that works we don't yet know every little detail. What is incontrovertable though, is that evolution does happen.

What sort of justifications did they use for that, and did the owners even receive compensation? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

One could say the same thing about cursing, but people who don't believe in God do it regularly. Whuh? Has anyone ever claimed that cursing will achieve anything? I'd imagine that cursage levels are fairly evenly weighted across all denominations and beliefs. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Well, he was a Democrat. He left the party because it shifted left. In his words ""I didn't leave the Democratic Party... The party left me." "I sometimes think that I didn't leave the Republican Party," she has written, "as much as it left me." Did they have the same scriptwriter? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Aren't we intelligent and imaginative enough to create our own purposes? Edit: Come to think of it, this one confuses me slightly. What is the purpose in life in the christian model? To believe in Jesus, die and go to heaven? In that case isn't this world just killing time before the main event? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The forefathers never put "In God we trust" on money. Besides, you think the forefathers were never wrong? You think the authors of the constitution were perfect and infallible? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Luckily, they marched straight through and out the other side before anyone even noticed Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Cute story. So god meddles in the free will of others in order to answer prayer? Some would, others wouldn't. Point being? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

No. They don't (at least not in the supernatural sense). How many people were hurt by unicorns last year? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Its a possibility. Lets not go leaping to conclusions though eh? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I most certainly do not, the claim is inherent in your statement of belief. This statement however "We don't ever start out making a claim. We state our belief" is a lie. I wasn't talking about the mind of God - why would I be trying to figure out something that I don't think exists? I was talking about the problems theologians face in trying to gel human free will with an omniscient creator and predestination. Unless proven it remains overwhemingly likely to be a myth! Your God is just one (or is it three) of thousands that have been told of by humans over the years. If you keep talking in absolutes I'm going to have to keep pointing out that you're lying. The claim is inherent in the profession. How can that be? How can you simultaneously say that you believe God exists, but not think that I am wrong? Like I said, the claim is inherent in the profession. Uhh, so what? Gravity doesn't have any 'eternal significance' yet Intelligent Falling is a very poorly supported theory. The heliocentric solar system offers nothing of eternal significance and yet even the church eventually had to accept that theory. I guess you are just happy to sacrifice knowledge for your warm and fuzzies. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Well the first person with an affirmitive reply was you with post No 10, in which you quoted Seinfeld. the second postive reply came from post No 18 which was followed by Beowulf saying God was "imaginary". Now, honestly, how can an atheist profess his/her belief without either implying or specifically saying that Gods are imaginary? When I say I am an atheist I am by definition saying that I think your belief is wrong and basically made up. When you say you are a christian you are by definition saying that my belief is wrong and naive. There is no way around that, so I don't see why one person saying "That is imaginary" is any more or less offensive than someone saying "This God exists". Do you want to have an ideagasm?
