S'cuse me? i'm not Jesus (lol) at debating, just rather inserting my opinion like drakel is. I guess it has to happen, since i started the debate.
@Drakel/ Brovo (somewhat of a reply to your historical evidence piece)
... by far your argument has been the one so far that morally, i really do feel closest to. Now before anyone raises guns (lol) religion has a huge label of faith, and it's pretty obvious that it does lack science. But i believe it lacks science for the creationist, because hey, in the history class i took, the first thing i was made to read about was evolution. It is almost as if scientist are
automatically programmed to be for evolution. That's the way our schools/ society roll, highly likely to keep from offending someone from another religion, which could start a whole other mob. Sometimes i almost wonder if "creationism research" lacks information since evolution is mostly the central of research nowadays. That's I believe that's why it's just, you guys are bringing up data that 96%-97 are scientist for evolution, the rest must be a scatter of "intelligent design" and other forms of creationism, etc, etc, who has "faith" in religion,. Some of that 96% may even have been pressured into promoting another belief by their general sphere to keep from being targeted. Here, we can all hide behind some computer screen while their advice and name get out to all types of people. I'm pretty sure they experienced more pressure than me posting here for something that isn't 100% for evolution, trust me, it took me awhile to decide to post this.
So What is faith?
1.
complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
2.
strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
Nothing obviously screams science here, but deep in my research ( Fyi, i was
assigned to argue the side of creationism in my essay),
Here is some historical article some of you were discussing about biblical evidence . With bringing up these findings which may actually be a....another view seen with these Prophecys that have been fulfilled , testimonies .and accurate descriptions of ancient empires, either someone had to collaborate really well with the 40 authors who wrote this over a period of 1,500 years (article says "The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which date from 200 B.C. to A.D. 68, included a copy of every Old Testament book except for one. Comparison with the texts of a thousand years later shows little or no variation and change between them.") or something else is going on. Because of this, i honestly do not blame creationist for believing what they believe in.
I guess it all boils down to what appeals to you more strongly & What your parents may have told you:
Science or Faith?
Both have facts. Science is appealing because......debatable facts, Faith is appealing because it seems to take away the fear of death. You could dissect it all the way how people see religious text = guide to life, but i ain't here to start convertin', nuh huh, just pushing an article to the surface i've found with a little of my opinion.
This is why i like the co-existence of both, and i mainly relate evolution to every other species but humans, who like i said earlier, but however, their body
did have to adapt to worldly changes, some may ask if a supreme being caused this.
Also, shy, i hope you do not mind the changes i made to the intro. PM if you'd like it taken down.
