I tried reading on Abiogenesis, Cosmology, the Big Bang, Evolution, etc. and, frankly, it is all very confusing, especially cosmology. Therefore, because Creationism is so much easier to understand, and require less intellectual labour on my part, I would go with creationism.

ENOUGH. The topic is about evolution (and related fields) and creationism. Want to talk about something else make a new thread on it.

They don't pay him enough to learn how to paint moustaches the right colour. They don't pay him at all, most likely.

Perhaps the obvious fact that pornography becomes an addiction, and is also a sort of 'gateway drug' to the more perverse and disgusting, like furry fetishes, cannibal fetishes...and that goes on to child pornography, and that goes on to rape, and murder...

People will deny it, but pornography is very serious. Obviously if someone starts it, they're going to want something more and more sexy and 'exciting' every time. Eventually 'sexy and exciting' means rape and murder.


Lol I want you to source this bullshit, and not any stupid Answers in Genesis I want a real study showing watching porn leads to you wanting child porn and cannibalism.

Not going to go off topic, but that's possible with anything, including religion.

The only part of Evolution that doesn't make sense is abiogenesis. How does that happen? Could someone enlighten me?

First off, anything can be an addiction. People can be addicted to eating laundry detergent, for fuck's sake.
Second off, humans are naturally promiscuous animals. That's the main reason there are over 7 billion of us on this planet. Besides, didn't God tell us to be fruitful and multiply? How dare you try to inhibit the Word of God!
Third off, those types of fetishes aren't quite as prevalent as you're making them out to be, and the slope isn't that slippery. But hey, if that stuff is what gets ya off, fine by me; we've all got our kinks. :P

That's funny...because it seems like the more sexual restrictions a country has, the more likely you are to have things like honor killings and the less likely you are to prosecute rape.
