The problem with evolution is that it according to me conflicts with the Bible. You're going to say it doesn't so it becomes a matter of interpretation. Some interpretations are compatible with evolution and some aren't. If you think that there is a conflict between evolution and the Bible you have to choose which one to believe in. As for now I don't think that evolution is written in stone. It's really only when you're a metaphysical naturalist that evolution is the only option. Perhaps we shouldn't go down this road again though. There are two parts to the understanding of creation: science and religion. There are multiple interpretations of creation on the religion side, but only one explanation on the scientific side. Therefore, to choose any religious interpretation other than theistic evolution is to deny science altogether. The bible can also conflict with the possibility of alien life depending on interpretation, so is your attitude towards alien life entirely without the input of faith?

Relative frequency means comparing two sets of causes and effects, not just two effects. If you only compare two effects, then there were 29569 deaths by firearms in 2004 and 16885 deaths by drunk driving in 2005. However, that is not why firearms should be regulated over alcohol. Once you consider relative frequency by inputing the cause: 24.2% of the population own guns compared to 80% that drink alcohol, the relative frequency of a gun user harming someone is much higher than the relative frequency of an alcohol user harming someone. Alcohol is designed to hurt oneself, which is different from being designed to hurt others. Those incidents harm the alcohol drinkers themselves and are accidents performed in inebriation. please take the time to think through your arguments next time before posting. Majority of drunk drivings are accidental and majority of gun shootings are malicious.

the point is, what has al gore done to promote peace? made a movie about a controversial topic and pissed a bunch of people off? wow, what a sacrifice. he'll probably be canonized when he dies. :roll: Global warming exists. The controversy among the scientific community is only regarding its speed and methods. The Dalai Lama pissed off the chinese government, but he still got a nobel peace prize. Activism will always have opposition, but that should not affect people being rewarded for it. i never said that global warming didn't exist, and you didn't answer my question. i also never said that al gore was the ONLY person who didn't deserve an award, it just so happens that it's the topic at hand. plus i just hate al gore. mess with dirt bikes and you are automatically on my [cabbage]-list. Yeah I didn't. Sorry about that. Fighting (or slowing down) global warming promotes peace because it allows future generations to survive.

In my post, I implied that raising a child and, afterwards, a preteen and a teenager will be different from the pet-like nurture of a baby. I did not imply that he will abandon his child.

You said he will call it a child after it is past being a baby, which is stating the obvious. It is irrelevant to my post because I didn't question the use of the word baby.

By method do you mean cause? It's pretty clear that the causes are human and natural. After all, those are the two factors on earth.

Oh yes he has. He wants to keep the baby, and he says he WILL take care of it.

Right now Vulxai calls the baby a "baby" because that's what it is, and when the baby will be a child then he'll call it a "child". It's not because the word changes that the statement changes. How many brain cells do you have anyway? You troll. Do you even have any idea of the point he is trying to get across? If not, don't post. Vulxai has answered all of his interrogations very clearly. Paperclips simply being obnoxious now, and so are you. He hasn't responded.

You're underage. Your baby won't be well taken care of. I don't care what you think or what you say. You don't know me or her, you don't know my family. I KNOW the baby will be well taken care of. So before you start to say that I can't take care of my kid, get the facts. It's not a pet. It will require you to be its parents past the stage of infancy.

So you're saying that faith shouldn't be applied to concepts that are outside the supernatural. Concepts like evolution. Thank you.

Not injuries due to drunk driving. Frequency of injuries due to alcohol. Because guns are designed to hurt people but alcohol isn't, it's obvious that a person who picks up a gun will have a higher frequency of hurting others than a person who picks up a bottle of alcohol. As for the issue of guns being used in self-defense: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entre ... t=Abstract From 1987 to 1990, 0.18% of a gun being fired in a crime situation was self-defense. That means 99.82% of gun fire was malicious. It's clear self-defense is extremely rare compared to malicious use. You may have seen five people die from falling but only one die from bomb explosion, but that doesn't mean falling should be banned instead of bombs. Your uncle may choose to shoot rabbits, but many of his fellow gun owners choose to shoot people. I'm sure he can forgo hunting for another hobby if it means that less people nationally will get hurt.

"ban guns, they kill people!" well, in that case we should ban alcohol because it causes drunk driving and food because it causes obesity. #-o The relative frequency of alcohol causing drunk driving is much lower than guns causing injury. The purpose of alcohol is not to cause drunk driving, but the purpose of guns is to cause injury. That is why guns should be restricted but alcohol should not. Food is irrelevant because food and obesity only harm yourself, not others.

whatever everybody knows canadians don't believe in rules

The prize was awarded to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Al Gore.

A scholarship gives money, not school acceptance. They are complaining that money is being given to one specific race. I am well-aware of what they are complaining about: they, however, do not share the same awareness as to the processes involved regarding how scholarships are given, or the basic precepts behind the allocation of money towards these ends. The process is pretty simple and I don't see any evidence that people are misunderstanding the situation. It appears we are reading two different threads. Well at least give an example of how someone is misunderstanding it.
