	There is no God, now wake up and take responsibility for your own life. There IS a god, he just has not presented Himself to you because YOU do not wish to see Him. As to taking responsibility for my own life, that is for me and Him to hash out. We have had some discussion on the subject lately. He is a rather understanding dude. You might try to open some discourse with Him. Couldn't hurt. When people start having converations with imaginary people they are usually diagnosed as schizophrenic.

You call it what you will, I call it faith. As the thread title indicates, I happen to believe in God. You might ridicule me for this. But it brings me much comfort. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty." As it is kitten, so shall it be done.

	Is it really that hard to make a "scientific" approach when it comes to certain subjects for those people who insist or state that they are "believers"? (Read at the bottom). Is it all about churchgoing and worshipping? If so, if you are an agnostic or an atheist, you are not supposed to be any better than the Catholic Church which once had a scientist (Giordano Bruno) burnt to death in the fire. Perhaps a good reason to hate (or at least dislike) those "believers". Religion is not supposed to have done us anything good, never. Yes, definitely an approach to a specific subject should be carried out in a proper manner. By means of such an "deterministic" approach (please suggest an alternative wording), the desired results may be obtained in the same fields which are related to the particular subjects of interest (this can be put around). You make very little sense, and a lot of people are ignoring you.

	When people start having conversations with imaginary people they are usually diagnosed as schizophrenic. Sounds like that old saying "When I talk to God it's called prayer. When God talks back it's called schizophrenia". It all depends what he says I suppose. :-) T.A.

	Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but a wise person understands the difference between opinion and fact. Just because one believes something does not make it a truth, and indeed truths will remain true even if one doesn't believe in them. If you want to challenge a theory, look at its evidence. The evidence for evolution is much and varied, with things like the fossil record, and the decades of study, testing, experimentation and consensus of the peer-reviewed scientific community. The evidence for creation is one book written hundreds of years ago, and the blind faith of a few medieval throwbacks. No contest. On an unrelated note, i happen to believe in spelling. ____________ Chemists have all the solutions! Skype me: simonator### (one zero one)

	but a wise person understands the difference between opinion and fact. From what I've seen in here, in accordance with the highly vocal self-proclaimed enlightened ones, there are no absolutes, rights or wrongs (NARWs). Everything is dependent on time, place and condition. What may be true/false now is not necessarily true/false tomorrow. Therefore, there can be no such thing as facts in these forums. On a more positive note, my Che Guevara look alike brother, this admission admits that we humans are not infallible. This logically leads to humility. Humility is one of the first steps to being allowed into the Kingdom of Heaven! Shame is the next logical step to tip the scale in favor of St. Peter deciding to allow one to pass through the pearly gates! Keep going my brother, you will make it! Peace and Love, sincerely, Guy the Great!

	yet again with the slams. You are very good at making one seems an innocuous statement a flame. I seem to see people that find themselves in the Minority opinion to be highly Vocal. Not the other way around. I'm sure there are some absolutes like dying and taxes. both of which the wealthy seem to want to avoid. Death because they'll never get into heaven and taxes because it delays their gratification in the here and now. If and when I get to the pearly gates, I will simply have to ask why it was necessary to put so much crap on my plate.
