Who wrote that?

Who wrote the Bible?


For all I know the old testament could be a novel written by a man living in Jerusalem in 1000BC.


I find it kinda hard basing my judgement on a book.

Do you have trouble basing your ideas off of things you learn in school? Those ideas are passed on in textbooks, and originally by word of mouth. Can this not be the same with a holy book?

[No Wow]

I hate it all.


I cant be bothered even like having an opinion anymore.




I got my hair cut today.

But everything we learn at school is supported by so much else. Facts and stuff.

The only thing supportig the bible/god is faith. (You could argue the people who like have been "visited" by God, but..yeah..)

[Conchizzie]

I don't believe that people today are visited by God-the bible explains that there cannot be apostles, etc.

But really, explain to me why Evolution is more possible than Intelligent design.

[Paj Meen Ah]

Because it makes sense with everything that we know about life so far. I don't know all the facts.

if it was "intelligent design", wouldnt God have just made humans back in the stone age, rather than homo erectus?

And how do you explain where they went? the jungles of South Africa?

[Conchizzie]

I believe that there is such thing as adaptation, changing to one's environment for survival. I do not, however, believe that a jellyfish could in any way, shape, or form, turn into a dolphin.

You can't prove your theory--yo cannot re-create evolution or show me exactly how everything evolves. creationists are supported b;y the fact that we can't prove anything, that everything has a supernatural cause that we can't prove. That is one reason why I believe it takes even more faith to believe in evolution than creationism.

[No Wow]

Well it would take like 60 million years for a jelly fish to evolve into a Dolphin so you kinda get over it.


At least Darwin's theories can be backed up with scientific fact.


I dont know whether these theories are scientifically sound or not, and I dont think anyone who hasnt studied them at a university can make an informed judgement on them.


I dont think most of the world's leading scientists would believe a theory that had no scientific proof.

[Paj Meen Ah]

I don't think Dolphins and Jellyfish are related..

Evolution makes more sense , in my opinion, than things appearing out of thin air.
