    The way I look at it, creation and evolution are just two opposite sides of the same coin. Some believe that the earth and the heavens and all the creatures dwelling therein were created by God. Others believe that life was a random accident of cosmological forces and chemistry, and it evolved from there. I say I'm willing to accept both because speculation is more fun than blind ignorance. I wasn't there, I don't know, but I can make as intelligent of a guess as anyone else.

      What does suck, though, is that I know of an incident with another guide's group in which some guy accused her of being an athiest because she worked there.
      Some stupidty, but no suckage, or hate.

      And the gay actor playing adam? That is just hilarious.

      In order to treat someone as your equal, you first need to believe both: that they are your equal, and that you are their's.

          Because I have a feeling this thread is gonna zoom right to Fratching if I open my mouth...

          I've been a longtime member of that forum (formerly IIDB, they just changed hosts recently) which allows very free discussions on various topics involving religion or lack thereof. In particular, that sub-forum is entirely focused on evolution vs creationism.

          Enjoy. Bring your asbestos suits, however.

            I was there and I can tell you what really happened, it was a completely random accident, Buddah and Allah bet God he couldn't do a keg stand for 30 seconds, God tried to prove them wrong and knocked over the keg, he broke the tap off and the big bang was all the beer spraying out.

            The creation of the universe was a party foul.

              Well said. Creationism/Intelligent Design also fills the holes in Evolution. Full devotion to evolution requires as much faith as creation.

                  Just a friendly reminder to keep the thread to a discussion of how the situation was amusing and mildly sucky, and not turn this into a forum for discussing personal views of creationism vs. evolution, or the pros and cons of either.
                  Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

                    Ah, I apologize.

                    As a mod had already posted here before me, I figured it wasn't report worthy.

                    Edit: That last line wasn't a dig, I know it sounds that way but it wasn't.

                            So does this mean I can go to their church, sit in on Mass, and hear about evolution theories? I think it'd be more balanced to my beliefs!

                            I swear, people don't think before they talk, ever.
