    Promise me, that if Evolution doesn't work out, you will come back to considering "Creation"?

    How do you know it wasn't Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Daoists, Shinto, Confucianists, Pagans, Wiccans, etc. who were demanding that HIS particular scripture be taken out of the government building? After all, the display of the scripture of a particular religion, and ONLY that religion, is...

    Thank you. I will. And glad to be of help.

    Why do people believe in evolution?

    Not hard to observe that most people who believe in religion do so believing in the religion that their parents brought them up in. If you had been born in India, you would most likely have been Hindu. If you had been born in Israel, you would most likely have been Jewish. If you had been born...

    Promise me, that if Evolution doesn't work out, you will come back to considering "Creation"?

    And if you were a Buddhist you would "know" something completely different.

    Why do people believe in evolution?

    Well, we have enough knowledge about "events in the Bible" and actual history to know that many of the events in the Bible (the OT) did NOT happen, and the rapture/tribulation. etc. prophesy has been a no show for 2000+ years, so ... It always amazes me that so many fundamentalist evangelicals...

    Why do people believe in evolution?

    Philosophical. If there are multiple gods in which to believe, how can you determine which are the ones to believe in? And how can you determine that they are real? Obviously, for most Christians (and most believers in religion) the answer is "the one in the book my parents told me to read"...

    A species' members all face the same selection pressure, which is better: full response or halved?

    Another OP that makes no sense, and displays a complete and utter failure of understanding of the actual science. As if an evolutionary response to environmental pressures is a conscious decision by the individuals of a species.

    From gas shortage to inflation, Biden's leadership suddenly under fire

    So, in your mind stealing money and defrauding people is NOT a crime (because, well, stealing money and defrauding people is a "civil" issue). Okay, thanks for clarifying that. I guess that whole 10 commandments thing is dependent on how transgressions go through the courts then. "Well, yes...

    Why do people believe in evolution?

    Wow. So your Christian argument is "my dad can beat up your dad"? How philosophical.

    Promise me, that if Evolution doesn't work out, you will come back to considering "Creation"?

    This is, of course, false. I already told you that people who understand science can and do "give up" what they think about scientific theories. Scientists, and literate lay persons, "gave up" Thompson's "plum pudding" model of the atom for the Rutherford model. And then "gave up" the...

    Promise me, that if Evolution doesn't work out, you will come back to considering "Creation"?

    Just post passages from the Bhagavad Gita in government spaces and watch the nation's evangelicals lose their heads.

    From gas shortage to inflation, Biden's leadership suddenly under fire

    It was a lawsuit brought by the Department of Justice. Racial discrimination in housing rental practices is illegal. And the result? Dollar signs dancing in their eyes? Only in trump's eyes since this was about renters PAYING money to trump to live in one of his buildings. But thanks for...

    From gas shortage to inflation, Biden's leadership suddenly under fire

    So, you don't think stealing money or defrauding people is a crime?

    Forgot to mention the racial housing discrimination lawsuit trump was involved in back in the 70's.
