Did you miss the part where it said "a coherent, detailed reasonable explanation for how your God supposedly created life on this planet"?

It would be silly to expect creationists to show that creationism is reasonable and true when it is plainly neither, but I don’t expect them to. I thought it might be revealing to watch them try, though.

I see. So according to you, humans came from dirt. But, of course, you won’t be able to show us that any of these imaginative and baseless assertions is true, will you? As far as anyone can tell for sure, this is all simply make-believe.

Firstly - "psychitzophrenic" is not a word, nor is it a medical condition.

Secondly - evolution has NOTHING to do with "chance." If you call it such, you clearly haven't understood it and should proceed to learn about evolution properly before passing comment.

Firstly,I know the spelling and what I wanted to say(personal reason for that particular spelling) and I am sure you knew what I meant. I said chemical unbalance of the brain (schizophrenia) beacuse of Gracchus post in another thread.


Secondly, I am not nearly as concerened with the how(God's creation process) as some are, but more importantly "the why?"


Thirdly, if you reread the OP you might spot mocking, sarcasm and the belittling of christians. I apoligize for not responding in a christian manner.

Creationism is just a religious belief. And as such, belief comes first, everything else follows after.

Seems reasonable enough. They destroy your Death Star, you chase them across the galaxy.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Edit: Just to add, here in England, "Jedi" is the 4th most popular religion in the 2001 census. Higher up than Buddhism, Judaism and Sikhism.

There's nothing like a religion that comes with a copyright, admission fee and actors, is there?

Lets see how Christianity holds up

Attempted copyright on morality. Check
Tithe AKA admission fee. Check
Lots of rolling around on the ground via the holly spirit and really fake sermons aka acting. Check

you should think twice before you say stuff like that.
