Answer to:
If "the first man Adam" was simply allegorical, what about "the last Adam," Jesus Christ? Read 1 Corinthians 15:45, 47 ...also allegorical.

No problem there - using that label makes the same point whether adam was a literal first man or a figurative first man.

Answer to:
Does the atheist have 'faith' that god does not exist or is it faith in yourself and what you believe? No - it's not "faith" that gods don't exist as much as "since there is no evidence for their existence whatsoever and much to indicate they are figments of our imaginations, I just don't believe they are really real." Some kind of being we consider 'divine' might turn up. Maybe. I don't think any such being would be anything like the gods we've invented - which are all suspiciously...

Does believing in a God make you happier and healthier? That's not been my experience, no. I became a much more relaxed, happy person after finally figuring out gods are imaginary.

It can help to bring a sense of meaning to a life they'd otherwise consider meaningless, and a sense of belonging when...

Man on rampage stabs 4. Does that indicate an obvious need for knife-control legislation? We do have knife control laws in Oz. There are limitations on what you can carry around in public. There are age limits on the purchase of hunting knives. The laws give police the power to take a knife away from a person before they are caught using it. That alone reduces the number of people attacked by knife-weilding folk. Just another issue where balance is needed. "Free for all" has...

Answer to:
instead of believing the war for our mind is Science Vs religion, Why can't it be the kingdom of satan vs the kingdom of Christ? Science is not evil - it is essentially neutral. Since there is no more evidence for the existence of satan and jesus-the-god as there is for allah, zeus, odin, jupiter, ahuramazda or any of the other gods around, calling anything a battle between jesus and satan is to narrow it down to one little religion at one short time in history...

Am I in the wrong if Im an Atheist, and I believe that everything has scientific proof, but I believe in the paranormal and fortune telling? Strictly speaking, the term "atheist" describes someone with no belief in gods. That's it. Anything else is fair game.

Humans not apes have walked the Earth for 150,000 years but history is only 6000 years and in the past 100, humans have walked the Moon. At that rate do you find it hard to believe for over 100,000 years nothing happened? No, not really. Necessity is the mother of invention. For a long time our ancestors were tool using hunter gatherers - with no need for anything more complicated than spears, bows and a knowledge of where the next waterhole might be. It wasn't until we began clumping together and settling - ie: the invention of agriculture - possibly in response to the last major ice-age we suffered - that...

If humans have not changed for roughly 100,000 years and history is only a few thousand years what were we doing for all that time? Surviving... For much of that time we were nomadic hunter-gatherers. Life was simple enough not to need writing. Learning via word of mouth and physical demonstrations was enough. Later on agriculture developed - leading to established colonies and an eventual surplus of food - allowing some people to do other things besides hunt or fossick.

People do that over many things - religion is just one of 'em.

There are other systems that take the place of eyes, allowing animals to "see" - sonar, infra-red, extreme heat sensitivity etc. etc. - combination of those senses and our brains' ability to interpret such data would give us a very different way of seeing the world - but we'd still be able to "see".

Is wrestling fake?Where does the blood come from?Why T.V Land(which shows only T.V series) shows wrestling? Not 'fake' so much as 'choreographed'. It is entertainment - the wrestling matches are not "real" in the same sense as a professional boxing match, but the participants are nevertheless trained athletes. I'd bet some of the blood is real and some is fake. They'd suffer a few real injuries as well, as even choreographed the stuff they do is pretty out-there...

Do you oppose the 10 commandments? If so, why? If for religious reasons, are they not good ideas? If other, is that evil?  Ummmm, no-one has forced their "removal" entirely. They've been taken down from places of public justice because the first half of them refer specifically to one god - indicating bias against anyone who believes in any other god (or none) is inherent in the US's justice system. That would be evil. Apart from that, it does not take a genius to figure our stealing what is not yours is...

Answer to:
Why do atheists not understand that evil wrapped in religion is not the fault of the religion but is the fault of the evil? ...because that is not a true statement. If a book such as the bible - the ONLY source for the entire religion itself - says "...take an unruly teenager to the edge of the village and have the entire village hurl stones at them until they are dead..." - clearly and unambiguously - then that is the fault of the religion, and is evil.

Atheist: Why don't you believe that there is a creator? Zero evidence for one. The creators postulated by humans are all suspiciously human. There are literally thousands of them, and hundreds of One True Gods. The "evidence" presented by followers of one god for its existence can, and is used by followers of all the others to argue the existence of their own, mutually exclusive creator god. The reasons given by believers in one god as to why...

What are "laws of nature", were they spontaneously generated, as we once thought maggots were? Nothing more than observations we have made.

Doesn't indicate a single, global flood any more than vampire stories from around the world indicate a global population of eternally living blood suckers...

Answer to:
In my Bible study class, we had a lively discussion about God as an intelligent creator vs. life just happened, then evolved. It left me wondering how I can resolve the religion vs. science issue in my mind. Any suggestions? Given there is absolutely zero evidence for the existence of a "higher intelligence" or god/godlike being - in spite of thousands of years of searching - and that the process for the development of life from non-living, organic compounds is becoming increasingly better understood, I'd say it is far more probably that life just "happened"...

A touch bi-polar I think. Even ol' Alistair had "Harm none" in there somewhere. I don't think his quote is particularly dangerous. I still like the Leviticus one though - it is...

if it takes millions of yrs for strata to build up, why are there fossils? Fossilisation is an extrememly rare event. Fossils are found were once there were things like tar pits for example. Animals fall in, die, are protected from scavengers and weather and so on. The tar pits eventually change, solidify - and the bones are fossilised within. Other things do the same - mud slides, floods, soft river or lake beds.

The scientific method - gaining knowledge of the world via observation, experimentation and collection of evidence will not fail anytime soon.

Has anyone else read "23 Minutes in Hell?" Meh. His story (from what I've read) doesn't even match terribly well with biblical teaching. Essentially a load of nonsense. He may well believe in his head that he did as he did - but that doesn't make it any more true than L. Ron Hubbard's statements he visited heaven several times.

Answer to:
Do you live by the adage: to err on the side of caution? Could believing in God, come under this adage? Why, or why not? No - because then you'd have to worry about which god to believe in. What if the hindus are right? What if the zoroastrians are right? What if the only people ever to get it right were the ancient egyptians - and all the current gods are upstart usurpers? What if odin is the real one? Choose the wrong god and you're in a whole lot of trouble - and there are literally thousands.

Answer to:
Could you follow a deity that required you to hate your family? It's not a question of that. If there really WAS a god and that god really did create all this and has an afterlife in mind and can directly influence me and events in my life here and after I die - then if you wanted to avoid eternal punishment you'd have to be doing what that god said.

will a small piece of cotton make a kitten sick Ours has eaten all sorts of stuff like that and has been okay. I think there's a little danger of it somehow tangling their insides but I'm not sure how it would do that and what risk there is. I saw our Ruby chewing on the end of a cotton reel once - I pulled it out of her mouth and it just kept coming! She'd swallowed almost 2 feet of it!

Answer to:
KITTEN alert!! need to come up with a name for kitten? hehe shes got a blondish, gingerish coat down her back the rest of her is white.? We have one we called Ruby. Ginger and white but also with gray-to-almost-black patches. She's all grown up now but used to look like this:

what is the best kitten food for 7 week old kitten? We got our kitten around that age. From the start we fed her Science Diet food.

Answer to:
On what scale do you believe literally in the biblical myth of creation? Nope. Not at all. One god among tens of thousands. One creation story out of hundreds. One interpretation of that creation story among dozens - which flies in the face of every piece of geological, cosmological, paleontological and archeological evidence ever uncovered.

Answer to:
For those who can read music, music sheets make sense. For those who cannot, they mean nothing. Do you think that this is a good analogy? No, that doesn't work at all. Many atheists (myself included) became atheists after a long time of believing - and sincerely believing. Also, people with gods do not have a stranglehold on "spirituality". Buddhists are very spiritual but do not have a deity. They are, strictly speaking, atheists. I, and other atheists I know, are also aware of those feelings and attitudes and so on that...

Answer to:
Did American Christians feel the same about slavery a couple hundred years as they do about homosexuality now? Not really comparable I don't think. I know what you're getting at though - only 2 centuries ago christians thought slavery was absolutely tickety-boo and god-ordained. They justified that using the bible. Now they find it as abhorrent as the amoral, baby-raping atheists do - and justify their abhorrence using the bible. So much for eternal, unchanging and absolute moral codes...

Answer to:
Did life actually begin with the individuals known as Adam and Eve? Just one creation story among literally hundreds - with no more evidence of being real than any of the others (ie: none whatsoever).

I believe there is a man made parasite that goes into wood products for the war on marijuana that can harm you. I think that is somewhat bizarre. Do you perhaps have any evidence to back this theory up? Extracted any obviously man made organisms from a marijuana plant?

Answer to:
what effect does stability and equilibrium in nature have on the processes of Natural Selection and Evolution. Essentially, if a population of organisms are living in an environment that does not change much, the pressure for them to adapt is very low. Random mutations still occur but as the organism is surviving perfectly well as it is, those mutations will tend to run in and out of the population and overall there will not be much change in appearance/function over many generations.

Possibly not, since for hundreds of years the christian church was happy to marry 12 year olds to much older men and expect consummation - and muslims revere a man who married a 9 year old.

If christians are supposed to be humble, then why are their churches some of the most magnificent constructions? Individual christians can be quite humble - the churches and cathedrals were ostensibly built as lavish offerings to god - shows of love and devotion and designed for humble christians to look at in awe and ponder the greatness of god and splendor of his kingdom. I suspect other, more earthly desires were involved as well - political statements, statements of wealth and so on.

Can you prove GOD doesn't exist ? Don't have to. There is a complete lack of credible evidence for any of the thousands of gods populating our beliefs.

Evidence presented for one god can be equally applied to all the others (and is consistently refuted anyway). "Evidence" for the non-existence...

If you are an Atheist, what would you ask God to do to prove that he exists? He, She, It or Them? No guarantee there's only one god. Nothing saying it has to be a He - or have gender at all. Consistent defying of the laws of physics. Consistent behaviour and appearance. Showing us both heaven and hell. Introducing us to people who have died in the past. Sowing us the future perhaps (ie: demonstrating the fact they are outside Time). If a god was like that,...

The concept of wrongdoing is certainly not.

Atheists, do you celebrate Halloween? If so, does it truly mean anything to you? Don't really celebrate it, but it all looks like fun. As usual in our society it is possible to go spend stupid amounts of money on it but that's not necessary really.

How would science prove the existence of God? "Proof", strictly speaking, is limited to mathematics. Science deals in evidence - a different thing.
