:D Well ya see I look at it this way. I believe in God because I believe He exhists in spite of my belief or lack thereof. I think fallacy number one in the entire 'atheist' dogma is, "We created God." Even given the advances in Chaos theory and random string developement, the 'evolution' of living organisms, at all, never mind in ever growing complexity, relies on so many concurrent coincidences that 'atheism' actually requires more blind faith than many 'religious' outlooks. The primary factor acknowledged by most reputable scientific 'clergy', because lt's face it, atheism is a 'belief', not a conclusive fact; is the concept of 'entropy.' Entropy is the natural tendency of a body, system, what have you, to slow down or decay with the passage of duration. Everything dies, everything is constantly in a state of breaking down to it's simplest state. This 'entropic' condition of the 'natural' universe flies in the face of evolutionary theory, which propounds the ever increasing complexity of the organic being. Secular pundits are just as likely as 'religious' ones to ignore 'inconvenient ' facts when attempting to bolster the case of 'us and that's it!' :wink: The latest target of the atheist 'witch hunt', for lack of a better term, is the theory of intelligent design. The secular segments of the 'scientific' community shriek with desperate laughter as they attempt to infer that 'intelligent design' is just 'those wacky religionists' trying to re-package God. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. The concept of intelligent design, ( I won't lie to you, there are many, many supporters of the theory in the christian community), takes into account all of these unexplainable coincidences, and points out that there seems to be a constant, a 'guiding force' if you will, behind all of...everything. Intelligent design is not even a 'christian' idea, further more. It's gaining cautious, and in many cases, given the torquemaedic response by the popular media to anything which attacks their god, i.e. "my holy self gratification;" circumspect acknoledgement by an ever growing body of the pure scientific community. You know, those guys that let the evidence paint the picture rather than trying to ram the evidence into their picture. Oh yes, secularists do it too, and just as fanatically if not more so. The idea of intelligent design, does not acknoledge the christian God at all. In fact, it does not even mention anybody's 'gods.' It simply states that the preponderence of the available scientific evidence seems to indicate that their 'seems' to be some direct, guiding 'force' behind the creation and actualisation of the universe as we observe it. Not as we think it is, or as we believe or insist it must be...but what we see happening. Evolution, which has become ever more frayed as the years have past is more tattered than ever. Charles Darwin stated that there was a deadly flaw in his theory, one which he was convinced would be repaired as the passing years provided better, crucial evidence; evidence that the scientific methods and technologies of his day could not. Those technologies have indeed become more advance than he could ever have dreamed. Unfortunately, the expected intermediary forms which Darwin confidently expected to appear, never did. Still haven't in fact. And it's becoming increasingly likely that they never will. The only fossils which have been brought to light, yes I said 'brought', have so far proven to be hoaxes. In some cases rather clever ones!! But hoaxes none the less. So just keep right on worshipping yourselves and insisting that any attempt to create consequences for your choices is just a personal attack of some sort and a blatant violation of your 'validated-personhood.' :lol: As for me? I belive the following quote illustrates my opinion on the subject; "It does not matter if there is a God or not. One should behave oneself as if there were." Winston Churchill God bless!! :)
