Hi mram10! Welcome to the forums, I hope you find lots of stuff to talk about.
Why? Just because it can be twisted to slightly support the point you're trying to make? Okay, we'll go with it. quote: Gotcha.
Yes, according to this definition, anyway. -recreational slo-pitch Are you sure you want to say that each of these "very important to a person or group" items is on par with your religion?
Absolutely correct.
If you're created for a purpose... you are held less accountable for everything you do, etc... you are held less accountable because some of the responsibility will be on the one who created you for whatever purpose they had in mind. If you are not created for a purpose... then you are held more accountable for everything you do, etc. Because, well, who else would be accountable? So common sense would tell us: 1.

Yay! I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, hopefully you'll stick around. There's really lots to do around here.
If you have the motivation to try and educate others here about your knowledge, that would be fantastic. Unfortunately... it would be off-topic in this thread. (This place is pretty strict on staying on-topic in threads... it keeps the place clean). Is there a legitimate argument for design? Feel free to talk about anything you'd like here. Just try to keep in mind how on-topic you are. If you're on-topic... great! Keep going.
Don't worry about. Anyone who expects you to respond to everything everyone says is being unrealistic. Respond to what you feel is important, and others will follow your lead.
I suppose that would depend on what you're thinking about when you use the word "Evolution." Oh, and if you're wondering at all how people do all the fancy quote-boxes and stuff, you can always click on the "peek" button in the bottom-right of any message. That will show you what they actually typed in to produce the visuals you see. And that section at the bottom of RAZD's post (Message 99) gives lots of good tips, too.

Right. Take, for example, the beetle you mentioned earlier and the mixing of their chemicals. The next honest thing to do, then, is to do the actual experiment to see what happens. "Oh, look at that... they did not explode." Is all the teacher has to say. Or, really, they can even say nothing at all

I heard the other day that Christmas is over 2 months away.
But how do they know?? No one's ever been into the future before. We haven't even sent a probe one millisecond into the future! Time could act differently 2 months from meow. Christmas could be tomorrow... it could be 10 years from now. Your religious belief that Christmas is 2 months away is nuts! I'm buying presents right now. What a loony.

Made me smile I'd like to say a few things, but it would be more appropriate in your new thread.
