    Title explains itself.

    This thread is for all the people who branched off of the Creation vs Evolution topic or just for science people and philosophy people. This may not come to be as large as the other threads but is here to coincide and maybe even relate to other threads where you can then reference your ideas back to this thread to prove points.

    Sure, we know that this debate will never stop but this is a chance to throw your balls on the table and stick up for what you truly believe.
    and thanks to El Diablo for the idea.

    There will never be a settled answer to this question. It will always be debated. In my opinion, God did create the Universe, in anothers opinion, it just happened. There are thousands of different opinions. And in my opinion, fighting about opinions is quite stupid. There is no fact to this. But still, very interesting debate question.

    The problem with this question is that, somewhat like religion, we have no evidence against or for. We have educated guesses and wild theories but we really don't know and might never know

    The only way to really "know" is to have experienced it. And noone here, for a fact at that:p, has experienced the creation of Man, or in some words, apes... Or Monkeys, w/e. Lol

    however there is more evidence to evolution then there is to the big bang theory.

    Prosper, he created this thread first. You know what that makes your thread? SPAM. Also, why are there so many of these being created, why not just stick to the ones that already exist? I.E God thread, or Creation vs. Evolution thread.

    Dammit Dow let them argue about who gets to make the "Real" Alternative-to-Creationism-vs-Evolution thread. Creating their own thread gives them the illusion of control, they've already grown tired using the rational threads on this matter and getting shot down.

    each one is very different from one another. this is about the universe's creation, God is well...about God, and the creation vs evolution thread is mainly about origins.

    So....your argument is "God did it" essentially? I am right you are wrong type of thing...?
    And also this is exactly what is being debated in the Creation vs Evolution thread....
    and El Diablo, this thread is retarded, it along with Prospers thread was pretty much created in attempt to have a one-sided argument which could have just been said/asked in the Creation Thread.

    this is a debate about that, yes...but this is different than the creation vs eveolution debate because this thread is actually made for this...

    and this is more fair towards both sides, even though some sides may give more support to the one side.

    i don't believe in god the likeliness that there is one is very improbable also there is a lot of evidence supporting other theory's like evolution with the Galapagos islands, the big bang which is currently being tested with the super collider and this is way out but some ufologists have been able to make not just biblical but ancient mythological connections to ancient aliens

    also if god is so almighty why is he only 6 thousand years old when the earth is proven to be more than 4 billion years old and humans being around for 40 thousand years

    think how far we would be technologically wise if we didn't have religious fanatics. there wouldn't be a Taliban, we would have better education because they wouldn't try to take evolution, plate tectonics, and the big bang out of school.

    ..lol

    Nowhere does it say God is six thousand years old.... and even if he was that would be no reason to call him not almighty. God doesn't even exist inside of time, anyway.

    He was addressing a comment made in this thread, and the rest of his post was fine. If anything, your post was off-topic.

    And I actually do think a God made the universe. This is because I think about God as him actually being the universe itself, so that would maybe explain the complexity and order of life.

    p.s. The "God" thread is where this question should have gone methinks. Though Nitrous originally asked if God exists, the topic itself is "God" and therefore this question ought to have been posted there.

    to answer in this debate i think that the sides would have to be quantum physicists and theologians. Otherwise we'll never know. Its easy for the uneducated to argue about something we don't know. Actually the best argument is an internal one with nothing to lose. Then you take out most of the bias.

    God creating the universe is, until we are given some kind of proof, rationale, or reasoning, completely irrational. There is a huge difference between something creating the universe and god creating the universe, which you do not explain. Until you can, it is just as likely that the flying spaghetti monster created the universe, or the invisible pink unicorn, or god and his wife.. or god and his daughter.. or anything else you could possibly think of. There are pretty much infinite possibilities in this case, and since only one can be correct, the probably of your specific god creating the universe is 1/∞. In other words, as close to zero as possible without being zero.
