Yes, I believe in myself.

Ya know, I wanted to think of something sarcastic to respond to that with, but Im too blown away by the sheer idiocy of that comment.

Well humans unlike animals such as coyotes and deer do not run much on instintive. Some perhaps but more so humans run on some drive to learn and to commune. Humans are a being... or more like THE being who adapt much more culturally than physically. As I have learned in Anthropology class race is not a proper application to humanity so everyone black, white, red and... blue... are all defined as the same but of different adaptations more obviously culturally. Skin color is merely that people's body adaptations to their environment.

Thats logical. But humans are not very logical beings. You corner a cat and it scratches you, you corner a human and he goes "NOT THE FACE! NOT THE FACE!"

Simply put instincts are likely hereditary. A person learns to be who they are by outside factors and choices they make. Genetics define how they look and what they are.

That is at least my viewpoint.

Aww, how cute. I miss being 13 and naive.

In retrospect, I really don't.

Well we know where it hurts and where it's most vital. Face (head, really)/genitals = painful, vital. Arms, legs, not as painful. Still useful.
And we're smarter than animals (usually). We can at least try to reason.
Unless you're cornered by a redneck or something.

Edit: Actually I'm not sure what point I was trying to go for with that last half. I really have no idea.

Evolution is a fact. It cannot be denied (not successfully, at least).

You want some examples?

1) The dolphin. Dolphins look like sharks, in the sense that they have a very streamlined shape that is perfectly suited for aquatic life. But here's the kicker - Dolphins are mammals, while sharks are fish. Two totally different species that look the same; it's called convergent evolution, and there's a ton of examples of it in the natural environment.

2) The appendix in humans. In animals, the appendix is used to digest plant matter, like bark or tough roots - but humans don't eat that stuff (or if they do, they can't digest it). So what's the point of having it? This, too, has a term - vestigial structures.

3) On the same topic as ^, about 95% of our DNA has no real function other than to take up space. If we were created a short time ago (figuratively speaking), we wouldn't have all of that junk DNA - 6 or 7000 years isn't enough to do that.

Of course, these kind of debates are pretty pointless, but meh. I, for one, believe that life was created by something, whether it be a God or other entity like that, or simply other life; but not recently, that's for sure.

Please don't bash or patronize people for their age and beliefs. Lets keep it civil and intelligible from now on. Remember we do set examples.

Ah, reasoning. Humans have their words afterall, and words can be mightier than the sword. Unless that sword is the size of a bus.

As for rednecks... you just give them a bottle of moonshine and all will be okey dokey until they become intoxicated. But by that time you are on a head start over the hill. Rrrright?

They don't look so much alike. They are an aquatic mammal as is whales. True. But how is it a kicker? All you have said is that they have a similar streamline appearance. That is as like comparing a fat cat to a raccoon.

If someone believes in God or Ra or whatever, it's fine by me.
But thinking that the oceans would be completely dried up by now is nothing short of unawareness. Basic science. Nothing to do with religion or beliefs. Really.

I can't be stuffed explaining how the whole cycle works, unless I really have to.

[Darkfox]

I'm fully aware of the water cycle but there is little need to patronize sombody about it.

Okay, just so we don't keep arguing on his "points," I'm taking a poll so we can just get a general concensus. All those who think Dominicy is an idiot, say "Aye."

[Meiscool-2]

Aye

[Darkfox]

Oh give it a rest, your looking even more immature in dragging it out. -_-

His "point" may be invalid, I even think so, but it is no reason to start flameing and bashing him. All it shows is that we are all a bunch of children.

[ZeroKirbyX]

But it's people such as him that give us Catholics a bad rep. Because he tries to argue points which make no sense at all and seems to be steadfast to ideas which aren't even advocated by the church, it seems as if we are all like that.

And c'mon DF, y'know you wanted to say aye XD

[Meiscool-2]

Actually, I didn't read any of it. I thought Aye would be funny:p

Now that I have read it, I can still say that he's not to smart. But, Razor already provided proof enough to counter him, so yeah, you're right; there's no need to drag this out.

(woot my idiocy took over another board, and this time, I guess I'll just play along XD)

Aye. :3

and also, I'm simply saying that if the earth was millions of years old, it wouldn't be existant because the sun's heat would've killed it completely because the sun is shrinking, and if the sun was millions of years old, it would've killed the earth.  that or, if the earth was there before the sun, and in such a case, that can't even happen.  my point?

if the sun was millions of years old, then the earth wouldn't exist, and so the theory emerges that creation was somewhere around 5000 BC.  I personally support that because in reality it makes sense, so please don't continue flaming me as you usually do you crazy troll Zero.

thankyou.

[MrMister]

Wow, I totally didn't anticipate that this religious debate would get so heated
liek wow.
Stop being a hijacking dumpface and talk about God.

"God god god God Jesus God."
 - more post content than zerokirbyx

also quit being so christing predictible

[Drace]

Can someone please bonk Dominicy for not having evolved from apes in the rate like the rest of the world did? I mean come on, his family must be about a 5000 years too late with schedule of evolution.

Joke aside.

"You can't disprove God."
You can't disprove evolution.
