Summations Only

We don't know, we have faith.We are the blessed who believe without seeing. It makes way more sense than Genesis being literal and inerrant.

Yes, it could.I wonder if it was really invented by religions though.

You using the word "ignorant" wrong. Ignorance = limited in knowledge No, they wouldn't be ignorant anymore if they got the knowledge.That they irrationaly refuse makes them something else that is not ignorant.I'm at a loss for a word for it.... perhaps foolish.... or foolishly incredulous.heh, I kinda like the sound of that.

Show me the data.Can you point to one of the hypotheses and how they were tested? Can you back up this claim at all? That origins stuff, sans the origin of man, has nothing to do with the Theory of Evolution. All that book does is try to discredit Evolution.Even if Evolution was shown to be 100% false, that still is not positive supporting evidence for creationism. That is still not science.

Kelly,You are wrong in many ways. Propose a new topic so we can correct your misunderstanding if you care to. This topic is about atheism and is not the thread for me to explain it to you.For example, in the very first line you wrote: That's not even necissarily true as evidenced by Theistic Evolution.A lot of what you wrote is PRATT. Points Refuted A Thousand Times.But again, don't respond here as it is off-topic. Propose a new topic.

There's rules here... here

Plus, you're still off-topic. Open a new topic already.

Each thread has a title at the top.The title of this thread is: "I Am Not An Atheist!"You're previous post had nothing to due with not being an atheist. Oh, its not all your fault, and it usually happens gradually. If you're typing (or copying) stuff and it doesn't have anything to do with the topic/title, then its getting to be time to open a new one. You have written a lot of stuff that covered a lot of different sub-topics so for me to properly reply would really really take the thread off topic.To view all the topics being discussed, go to the All Topics link at the top of the page, second from the right, next to "Chat". Another good one is just to the left of "All Topics". It is a list of all the Forums for which topics may be introduced in.If you click on any on of those forums, near the top of the page, before the list starts there will be a button at the right labeled "New Topic". Press that and you will get a link to the Proposed New Topics forum, or just click on that link. There you will find the New Topic button at the right above all the numbers. But discussions can't flow unless they are specific, being focused really helps the discussion. Once you get used to the site you'll see that its not really a pain at all.

It'll be your loss if you don't. Definately, you are right. Some people are worse than others. Take a look at this thread. The author went off-topic in the first page (and then someone made fun of him for it).Its not that big of a deal (look how off-topic we are here right now) especially if its constuctive, its just that we all should put effort into avoiding it to make this a better palce. Of course, and it is expected. All that is expected of you is that you try.No need to reply now, lets stop being off topic.
