The bible
Man, get off it. The Egyptians were building Pyramids 6,000 years ago. The Earth is NOT 6,000 years old. At all. No chance. Ever. No, just no. I believe I read somewhere yesterday that the Earth could be, at the very least, a few million years old. There is absolutely zero chance that it is 6,000 years old. It's just a fact and fundamentalists are only hurting themselves believing it. Fundamentalists are hurting themselves by being fundamentalists. Huh? Let them just be that way. If you're not open minded to the idea, then there's no convincing you. I believe something exists, because evidence I've come across seems to rule out the possibility that there isn't at least something out there. And for the record, God doesn't disprove science, and science doesn't disprove God. And is it just me, or is atheism often just some rebellious phase teenagers go through? I'm definitely not saying it always is, but I find a large number of teenagers who are atheists, and a lot less adults who are atheists. Meh, may just be personal experience- I havn't seen any statistics. And what is this evidence? Hopefully it isn't something in the Bible. That second paragraph really depends on the Christian. Atheists aren't rebellious people/teenagers, they're just people who think rationally and have common sence.

The bible
^And I'd like some proof that an invisible being decided one day to create, since there's not a single shred of evidence supporting it that isn't Bible-related.

Obama launches presidential bid
White Pride groups are nut cases. Imagine the likelyhood of an assasination fueled solely on the colour of Obama's skin. :uhh: I'll lose a lot of faith in humanity if that day ever comes, which I certainly hope it does not. Rascism ftl. But that won't happen, surely not It sure as hell won't happen. :) I really want to see this site's reaction if Obama gets elected. :lol:

Need advice for getting into programming.
The Torque Engine is also a good one (also at $100 available from http://www.garagegames.com, but a demo is available). It was the engine used to power Tribes 2! Haven't tried that. This program looks useful, but I haven't tried it yet: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/

The bible
*Gnashing teeth* STOP FRIKKING BEING FUNDAMENTALISTS!!!! IT'S NOT LITERAL!!!!!! Last I checked Christians take it as the word of God. Can you come up with an alternate creation story then? :wall: :wall: :wall: That is the creation story. That doesn't mean that all Christians think that it took God created the world in 168 hours; the creation story, if you really look at it scientifically, is just another way of saying how the Earth was created, a more poetic way. Whether it's the direct Word of God or not, I dunno. For the love of God everyone, stop thinking that Christians are all fundamentalists, or that to be a Christian you have to be a fundamentalist. It's kind of getting annoying. :wall: Well then how did the world get created if that 7-day story is incorrect? There is absoloutly no evidence for creation. And where is the invisible creator? Why doesn't it just come over and say "I EXIST YOU NOOBS QUIT DEBATING STUPID THINGS!!!"? Creation science is not science. For it to be science you'd first need evidence, and then you'd have to be able to observe and expirement. There is absoloutly no shred of evidence for the creation 'theory', nor can you expirement with it. We've got evidence for evolution, (it's quite obvious), and we can expirement with it. Plus you got viruses adapting against antibiotics, moths in London adapting to camoflauge in a more polluted environment, along with loads more stuff.

Embarassing, funny, or weird McDonalds encounters.
You weigh 65 pounds. If that's not some annoying overexaggerated joke, you'd be what, 8? You're like immune to fast food at that age. And even if you were older, any level of activity during teen years would easily counteract McDonalds consumption, and with a high metabolism you'd have to eat McDonalds every meal to get anywhere close to "fat". Basically, unless you're an adult I don't see what the point of your post was :-s . EDIT: 'Kay, you're 11. The effect of eating McDonalds a few times a month on a person really don't mean much when it's an 11 year old who's consuming the food :-s :? . Meh, McDonalds is pretty bad for me, I might end up having to cut down majorly on how much I eat later on in my life :lol: . It just tastes so good, everything about it :anxious: . I literally order like 10 sausage patties when I order in the morning there, if I do that as an adult it'll probably kill me :lol: . Parasitic worms FTW? :ohnoes: My tapeworm's name is Aristotle.

Obama launches presidential bid
I would vote for him to tick off racists. I snooped around a racist forum for threads on Obama, and look what I found: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthr ... ight=obama :wall: What a bunch of boneheads. I hope Obama gets elected.

The bible
I'd just like to say firstly that I, personally, never try to ween christians out of thier faith, thats bending them against thier will and is basically wrong (in my opinion anyway). The only reason I would attempt to disprove the literal meaning of genesis (i.e. evolution is wrong and the earth was created 6000 years ago) is because it goes against credible science. Those that try to prove thier position basically only do so by trying to disprove this credible science, which is done by bending the truth and using shock tactic propoganda. the people who do this, thankfully, are the minority of the Christian faith. So in response to your post, not all atheists feel the need to 'unconvert' Christians. It doesn't give the date God created the universe in Genesis. So taking the literal meaning of Genesis can't be disputed. Unless some how you were able to prove that we all evolved from single cell organisms. So far evolution has passed every single expirement. I'd also like to see you prove that an invisible being created the infinitely gigantic universe and all the matter within it in a week.

Yeah, you got to feel for these big fastfood companies getting sued all the time for the most rediculous things. Like when people sue them for being fat. I mean really, you don't have to eat there. And it's not their fault you were dumb enough to get fat. that just made me think. is there anything you can't sue for? I don't think so. But you wouldn't win for sueing rediculous things. Actually, both of those two cases were won if I'm not mistaken. I believe the first one to sue McDonald's for being fat did win. Others doing so afterwards did not. I could be wrong. :o What was the judge's IQ?

Need advice for getting into programming.
I recommend a Complete Idiots Guide to... on Java or C/C++. The For Dummies ones are good too. I also recommend the Blitz3D demo (full version is $100 :( ), it will give you a taste of what programming games is like if you have no experience in it.

The bible
Stone person a for action z. If person X sins then he must take a 2 year female goat, with no deformities, strike off the head and wipe two strokes of blood on the altar and 3 strokes on the left ear. Then burn the incese and lamb to make an aroma pleasing to the Lord. I will cover your face withy my hand while I, the Lord, pass you or you will die by looking at me. Take a 21/2 year old male donkey, no deformities and go to the top of hill X, make an altar and sacrifice your son. Just some, IMHO, the most rediculous things the Bible contains.
