Well, and I can argue that I don't know where folks get that "there is a God" belief. On what do you base that? Some book some people wrote a few centuries ago? Many books have been written about what I belief also.

The rest of the world? So, it's me against the entire rest of the world? Maybe you should open your eyes a little more?

Because I don't believe in God my existence on this planet has no meaning? Is that actually what you are saying? Why does there have to be a God to give life meaning? I feel really sorry for you if that is what you believe.

Because the way I see it, the proof of evolution is all around us. I always approach the matter of 'life' very scientifically, and really, life ends when the body dies. Heaven and Hell have only been created to keep people in an constant state of fear. Apparantly it works.

I can provide endless documents of scientific proof, and I'll be glad to put that up against your bible, but I for one am not interested in making comparisons or preaching about why one thing is better than the other. Everyone has their own 'bible', whether literally or not, and what's important is that you stand behind what you belief in. Being true to myself makes my life very meaningful, thank you very much.

The Bible was written more than "few" centuries ago. As was the Koran. The argument for a God seems more evident in those books alone than just your personal opinion.

Well in a way, it is you against the rest of the world. To varying degrees. You're gonna leave this world alone after all.

I guess you're misunderstanding me. I didnt say a belief in God is necessary to give meaning to your life. But what meaning is there otherwise? Serving yourself? I couldnt have a clean conscience knowing that I lived my life merely for my own pleasure. Selfishness is unbecoming.

Evolution is still, after all this time, a theory and it will remain so. Doesnt mean I dont believe in adaptation and co-evolution...or extinction for that matter. But Man will always try to understand and put things in a box which he cannot ultimately understand so that he CAN understand it. If God who is above science and our own reasoning truly created the universe according the the Bible, then wouldnt our techniques of science being somewhat flawed? Wouldnt a search for God in science be skewed?
