Now Red's comment was funny but how would you feel if code-frog's story is true. Do you have kids?

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.

You obviously have a very poor understanding of atheism.
The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity. - John Adams
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.

No? How do you figure. Christ the Redeemer is a wonder. The Great Pyramid of Giza is not. Who cares about their methodology? And why would a poured concrete statue or be a greater wonder than something like the Eiffel Tower. It's just plain old stupid. Even that orange peel doohicky you have in Australia is more impressive.
I'm just imagening you bickering if some french tower would have made it :rolleyes:

Ahh. You were doing so well and now you've blown it.:sigh: Read a bit further in your Bible and you'll come accross something called the resurection. Only the greatest moment in history so far. Not sure how you managed to miss it actaully. If it's a little tricky to understand you could get an excellent relatively modern book about it called "Who moved the stone?" by C.S. Lewis.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Yep, must have been something: Jesus turning into a zombie and nobody freaking out. ;P
Whenever an appliance, gadget, or other kind of technology you own breaks or stops performing, pray to Science for it to be saved (fixed). If it doesn't change, don't worry... just keep praying. Science works in mysterious ways! - Someone on the Internet

You got that part right: But Athiesm and Materialism are independent. An athiest may or may not subscribe to the materialistic world view.

On that, I agree. Now cut it out, you're freaking me out.
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him, the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable an ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." - Albert Einstein Web - Blog - RSS - Math - LinkedIn - BM

I know, which is why I said "Materialism is the extent of the modern atheist's metaphysical beliefs". You'd be very hard-pressed to find an atheist these days that is not a materialist since atheism is basically the adoption of science as religion.
