I have an important question to ask, a question which has never been answered with actual Evidence or Logic for that matter.....Where is the Evidence for anything that is said in the Bible? And i dont want that "It was said in the Bible" that just shows how Gullible Creationists can be. But seriously what Evidence has you convinced the World works in the way your Religion says it does?

thats the funny part. besides the bible there is no evidence for creationism at all except faith,

its like me saying aliens invaded the earth in the 1930's and when someone asks for proof i cite orson welles, war of the worlds as evidence

at least evolution has SOME evidence to back it up, even if there are parts missing right now. creationism has absolutely NO proof other than some words in an old book that has been rewritten and edited hundreds of times over the last centuries.

when thinking about the timeline of the universe or even just the timeline of life, why would you believe in something that was concocted in the last 2000 years over the history of the physical world over the last 14 billion years.

You do realize that the "Theory of Evolution" has only been around for 150 years. Right?
You are contradicting yourself.

Seems like someone is looking for attention today. This is an age old question. Believe in whatever works for you and makes sense to you and leave others alone.

religion is really a matter of faith. some people believe in a higher power and feel that it is a big part of their life. there is nothing wrong with this, but what does give religion a bad name is when we see wars being waged in the name of religion, or when extremists use religion as an excuse for violence.

i think a religion can be a healthy part of a person's life, as long as it does not lead to violence or any other sort of bad deeds.

This is more of a general reply, I am a little short on time.

There is a surprising amount of archeological evidence that back up much of the Bible's litergy. In addition there are dozens if not hundreds of copies (full and fragmentary) of both old and new testiment writings that date to within at least 50 years of the actual events being described. In many cases these are much more verifiable then other writings of the period including among other things writings of both Aristotle and Plato.

As far as creationism, not all Christians are young earth literal 7 day creationists. Some beleive God created the earth, but evolution was the process. Others beleive the 7 days were actually 7 geological periods.

Try researching the study of "Christian Apologetcis" which iw the defense of the faith, and WHY the Bible and certain other wirtings (church history, etc.) Are beleived to be reliable. A good place to start is the book, "the Case for Christ" by Lee Stroble.

I agree completely. I think the OP was provoked by the "Question for Evolutionists" thread.

I wish we could all just have our own beliefs, and let each other be.

There is nothing to gain from getting someone to come to your belief system. And these arguments never change anyone's mind anywho.
