      :laugh: Nice! At least that thing resembles the real thing. I actually stopped by to see the Prairie Dog (driving across Kansas is incredibly boring) and was a little let down by what amounted to little more than a pile of brown concrete with eyes. Good for a laugh, though. :)

            Oddly enough, they have found the body of pharaoh and the bodies of other important people of past. But they have yet to uncover the body of Christ.

              Oddly enough, some say they can not have faith to believe in Christ and what the Bible says about him, but they can have faith in carbon 14 dating. With carbon 14 dating if all holds true*, it has a half-life of 5730 years. So its accuracy is limited and can only be used on materials less than 70,000 years old. *This is the part that has to be taken on faith. Assumes that the rate of carbon 14 production has been constant through the past 70,000 years.

                        Because I have seen several of them, and they all have scientific "theories" on there that have been completely proven wrong. For instance the one about the magnetic field, or about the sun's size. I think that any supposively scientific information that came from religious websites would be highly suspect at best.

                                    I think it is the same as Genesis. But there is also the QU'RET AL-YEZID that says Satan is the creator of humanity. I think the bottom line is that simple minds look for simple explanations. Believing in God makes eveything easy to understand, and provides a way of coping with death.

                                      I always thought materialism was much easier to understand since it removes metaphysical consideration altogether. Maybe that's what's wrong with atheists. They're just not smart enough.

                                        I always thought materialism was much easier to understand since it removes metaphysical consideration altogether. Maybe that's what's wrong with atheists. They're just not smart enough.

                                        You obviously have a very poor understanding of atheism.

                                          You wish... Atheism is a self-defining word: Without God. Materialism is the extent of the modern atheist's metaphysical beliefs. That is to say...They believe in a lack of metaphysics. So theists deal both in the physical world (i.e. its material attributes) and the metaphysical world (i.e. its unseen spiritual attributes), whereas atheists deal only in the former. The fact that you believe theism creates a more simplified worldview (when it actually adds a very significant layer of complexity) tells me you have a poor understanding of both atheism and theism.
