Ah, shit sorry everyone.

Kinda got my wires crossed there.

Anyway, yeah, Creationism is moronic -> does not follow -> God is moronic, sorry.

Anyway, yeah, Creationism is moronic, Intelligent Design is moronic, people should read a book that isn't The Bible and religious propaganda.

Ok guys, we should really stop thread jacking. If someone wants to make another thread about if God is real or not I'll contribute but keep it off this thread.

In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???

I know we're primates. I should have phrased it better though, but it's true that we share a common ancestor.

Quite. So I read the Koran.

Sorry, I was just corrected by someone else who presumably knows more than me. My understanding of it makes me think of silverback apes as apes and humans as humans (of the genus Homo).

The Miller Ulrey experiment was an experiment designed to simulate the conditions thought at the time to be present on the early Earth, and tested for the occurrence of chemical origins of life. It created amino acids....it didn't however, produce life.

Until you produce life with such an experiment, I've no choice but to assume that abiogenesis didn't occur.

Purden of proof is on you to prove to me that life can be created through those means.

The burden of proof is also on those who are religious to provide evidence for there beliefs, especially god.
There is no/little "evidence", so I can assume god doesn't exist and religion isn't true.

:palm: Do you think that scientists would say "yep, we did it, we're done, let's all go home!" when they did the Miller Ulray experiment?
