Well that's how I feel with my boyfriend. I've never felt like I deserve him, but with that being said it's one of my biggest fears in the world to lose him. I think if she really likes you, than she is telling you the truth. Maybe she does just need some space and when the time is right you guys might be able to get back together. But either way, I think she does owe you a better explanation. If you still feel like you have a lot of unanswered questions, then you should ask her about them.

How? And how would meeting up in real life help you try to falsify those things? First of all I was kidding, I would never meet up with someone from the internet, and second of all I'm really tired and don't feel like sitting on the computer arguing about Creationism and Evolution because this could go on forever.

No. I've met two autistic people in my life. There is a noticeable difference in autistic people. And they usually excel in a certain area in life.

I know if you read that right you would see that I knew. I know there is a reason to it. And what the hell would the point in believing in a god. That's what believing in a god is. It's having blind faith and knowing that there is a reason for most things, even if we can't see it. So.. What was the point in this post? Are you trying to say that jaerkd00d is incorrect? It seems to me like you're just confirming his statement that because you're basically saying that you can't find a reason for things happening, so you have 'blind faith' and believe in (a) God. So.... you're just assuming a god did it because you can't find any other explanation. Nothing? But I don't think you were atheist because being an atheist involves not believing in supernatural/ghosts, which I think you believe in. I'm not atheist anymore!!!! Who ever said I believed in ghosts when I was??? And as for that other stuff there could be another explanation, but I choose not to believe in them. Isn't that the whole point of this thread because there are 2 major theories on how the world was created. I've had religious experiences in life that I'm not even going to get into, which give me more of a reason to believe in a God than anything else... Do you know how old I was or how many years ago that was? Do you know what religions or lack of religions I believed in when? I'm coming really close to writing out my life story so this will all start to make sense to you. I was a Christian when I was little. As I got older I started to not care and went through some hard times and figured if there was a God this stuff wouldn't have ever happened to me. Now that I'm older, I realize that there was a stupid reason to not believe because it had nothing to do with faith. I have far more evidence than you do. Your apathy does not change what happened. Your ancestors were not monkeys. This is a misconception. If you'd like to know why it's a misconception let me know. We are. I think you misunderstand the time-scales involved. I never said it wasn't complex. It definitely is complex. It's also completely explainable through natural methods, however. How about we meet up in real life one day because I would really love to prove every single piece of "evidence" you have wrong.

Exactly.

Why don't you take a guess? Trust me, it'll be easy.

I know if you read that right you would see that I knew. I know there is a reason to it. And what the hell would the point in believing in a god. That's what believing in a god is. It's having blind faith and knowing that there is a reason for most things, even if we can't see it. Trust me, I went a lot of my life being atheist and agnostic so don't try to make me out to be some kind of crazy Jesus freak that only believes because someone told me to. I do everything on my own freewill. I didn't state my opinion to start an argument. I just believe that the world and how everything in it pieces itself together is too complex in general to have just occurred on it's own. I've never once believed in the big bang theory, even when I didn't believe in God, and I never will.

First of all, calm down. We're not all being [wagon], we're just simply stating our own opinions on this matter. We are still evolving through subtle mutations or changes throughout generations. Are you sure you understand what evolution is about? I don't know everything about evolution but I do know the jist of it; the monkeys we know today share a common ancestor which we evolved from, which is why the monkeys of today can't evolve into humans now. Okay that sounds kind of confusing, I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. What does the water cycle being complex have to do anything? It's just a cycle that occurs, it's not complex at all... If you would read my original post you would know that I happen to think that it is too complex to just occur "just because". If it's not complex to you guys, I would love to see you live without it.

We weren't "put here" and our being here is not "accident." What are some of the questions you have about the big bang theory? "Tornadoes [sic], volcanoes[sic], lightening[sic], earthquakes, and tsunamis" aren't created, and they aren't a "mistake." In what way is the water cycle too complex? The sun's distance from the earth and the level of heat/light/etc that it provides is one of the causes of our evolution. The sun is not at the "perfect distance" because we are here, we are here because our planet lies within the hospitable zone of our solar system. The supernatural does not exist. Ghosts are in fact figments of people's imaginations. There are perfectly logical evolutionary explanations for our behavior. Our bodies' processes aren't a "coincidence." They are the result of billions of years of cosmic, chemical, and biological evolution. Your entire post is basically one big argument from incredulity. I know I have no proof, but neither do you. I don't think about or care about what happened billions of years ago because I'm in 2009 not the year one billion. I don't believe that I my ancestors were monkeys. Looks at them now. Do they appear to be getting anymore intelligent...no. They live then they die. Why aren't we still evolving? And there can be about 11 different processes to the water cycle. It basically recycles itself. You're only saying that its' not complex because you couldn't think of anything better to say. Honestly I was stating my opinion, not looking for someone to be a [wagon]. Don't worry, I have plenty in my life. Essentially, your post was: Maybe you're right, but I don't give a [cabbage] because, uh.... you're an [wagon]. Yeah I was being a [bleep], but are you completely ignoring everything else I said.

I think you have nothing better to do than be an [wagon]. Why don't you go onto the Food thread and criticize what I had to eat today. How was I being an [wagon]? I just said your post had flaws and I would let other people explain them, because I knew others would do done a better job then me. Yeah and you know what? Whatever some has to say about my "flaws" is going to be wrong to me. You know why? Because this thread is based merely on opinion. And if you don't know much about this subject how would you know if what I had to say was wrong?

This is like me saying I think the Big Bang is more valid because I believe it's true. I am going to let someone else who is more educated in the big bang and evolution tear that post apart. Yeah, honestly I was rethinking that, but I'm tired and I've had a very long day. So whatever. But if that's the only thing that you can find wrong with my post than it really doesn't bother me at all.

I'm a Christian, and I will admit that both ideas are strange, but I would think that Genesis is more valid because I believe that everything was created by a higher power. I would prefer to believe I was put on this Earth for a reason rather than by accident. There are too many questions and not enough answers for the big bang theory. I don't think that there would be any other logical explanation for different DNA, atoms, and molecules. I'm not into nature or science or any of that, but I have to admit things like tornadoes, volcanoes, lightening, earthquakes, and tsunamis are to amazing to have been created by mistake. The water cycle is too complex. It has so many different steps and processes throughout it that repeat. The planet Earth is just close enough to the sun to give us a fair amount of heat and light without burning us to death. Is that just a coincidence? And what would explain the "Supernatural" and ghosts? Are they just chemicals or figments of our imagination? Also, humans and animals all have natural instincts already programmed in our minds. Where would they have come from? A baby cries when it's hungry or thirsty because it can't speak. When a bird finds a mate they stay together until one dies, and then the other dies of loneliness. A humans body works together to keep us alive. We also have nerve to warn ourselves. We breathe naturally even during our sleep. We dream. Everything seems to fit perfectly together and I don't think that it just happens to be a coincidence...

I would go back to the beginning of my relationship like when my boyfriend and I first said we loved each other and our first kiss.

Don't doctors inject people with certain kinds of viruses to cure people. I think that they inject people with the flu to get rid of it or prevent it.

I had a sandwich for lunch and pizza for dinner.

I really didn't feel like reading everyone's post, but Blink 182, Seether, Fall out boy, Smashing Pumpkins, the Toadies, Hoobastank, and probably every single rappers name.

No.

Yeah. Even if it was like strangers I would still probably pick them. But I think the starting number would be a little bit higher than ten for me though...

Yeah, but everyone's time has to come to an end. If no one died, the world would overpopulate and there wouldn't be enough resources to keep everyone one alive. So, as much as it sucks to say, it's either me / my loved ones or the entire planet Earth. Which one would you prefer? I'm just saying that if it were specifically me or my loved ones... I think the whole world ought to blow up, that'd be pretty cool. I'd be fine with that. But I would like to actually accomplish something in life before that happened.

What is a life or death situation you could be put in, that no matter what you would chose death? Okay I'll restate this: Someone has a gun up to your head and they tell you: It's either _____ or I'll shoot you. I would never deny my God, or if had to choose between my life or a loved ones life. It has absolutely nothing to do with religion....
