Comment:	Evolution is not a science. It is an ideology which continually fails to prove itself through scientific experiments. Please read this website: http://www.hyahya.org/16understanding03.php Evolutionists try to disprove creation but experiments continue to confound them and point to what they fear - that the universe was created.

Subject:	Freewill and God
Comment:	It is my belief that at the time the 'Good Books' (bible, koran etc.) were first written those who told, wrote or translated did not estimate that humans could understand the concept of a universal energy that is 'unseen' - therefore 'god' was virutally 'invented' to resemble man with 'good' intention - to teach the population the difference between positive and negative force, good and bad, 'god' and 'satan', live and evil ;-) It is the failure of those who teach instead of doing, who in 'protecting' their students foster ignorance - resulting in multitudes of translations, confused religions and complicated books - when we instead should be concentrating on value and origins of the message by application we (as in politics or law & order) got/get lost in detail.

Comment:	I beleive in God but I am not religous. God has a plan for my life but I have the choice to go along with it or not. I have the choice to get closer to him and love him or not.

Subject:	God and Free Will
Comment:	ok, i may not be the most knowlegable(sp?) Christian but i do regularly attend church and i do worship with all my heart. i was raised in believing in free will not predestination. i was always taught that God allows you the choice of things but that He knows what you will choose. this is not predestination, however, because God in no way controls your choice. God doesn't choose for a girl to decide to have sex and get pregnant in her teenaged years but if she will He knows that she will choose to do that before she ever does. and it's kinda hard to explain this to anyone but it's just how i was raised. i am also open to any atheists who want to email with me about religion. i'm a very open minded person on things and even though i may not agree with you on everything i will never be one of those people to sit and tell you that you're goin to hell because it's wrong to judge like that. i am willing to listen and take your reasons for not believing into consideration of you will also be open minded and listen to what i have to say. i won't say i can make you believe in God but i bet i can leave an impact on you. email me if anyone wants to chat with me about why we should or shouldn't believe in God. email me at: Brennajhw1@comcast.net.

Subject:	On the 'Evolution' Post
Comment:	'Evolution is not a science' this is true. 'It is an ideology which continually fails to prove itself through scientific experiments.' This is false. Evolution has been proven to exist. Evolution is NOT a theory as to the creation of existence. It is an idea that organisms can be created by natural selection, and has been proven correct. Read 'The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time' by Jonathan Weiner. 'ev·o·lu·tion-n.-Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species' from a search on 'evolution' on dictionary.com what was the first line of that website? 'The theory of evolution is a philosophy and a conception of the world that produces false hypotheses, assumptions and imaginary scenarios in order to explain the existence and origin of life in terms of mere coincidences' (http://www.hyahya.org/16understanding03.php) That right there is enough for me to believe the creator of the site has no clue what he/she is talking about.

Subject:	Religion or Science?
Comment:	Everyday a new mystery is explained and proves the simple old religious solutions wrong. We now have theories as to how the universe began - ergo the story that God created the world in six days and on the seventh day he rested is dismissed. Adam and Eve are just a fairytale now that we have evolution to explain the creation of humankind. And it is fair to conclude that those 'miracles' that still baffle us into believing they must be the work of some divine entity will at some future date be explained rationally and scientifically to further distance us from our old beliefs. Science will tell us how they happen. However, though science will answer the how that we have not yet discovered, what will answer the why? This is the real role of religion, the real proof that there is something or somebody out there, the thing that we call God. Because science can never answer the question: Why does the universe exist?

Comment:	Carrick has posted one of the few comments that I personally would ever deem worthy of praise. I totally agree with what was said, except for one thing: I'd hardly consider it proof that a God exists. The concept of God was created to explain what we couldn't explain. People find it extremely easy to dismiss greek or roman or whatever myths, but find it rather difficult to do the same with christian myths. Yes, myths, as thats all they are really. They serve the exact same purpose as those greek myths they made you read in school. They explain a purpose, but do we really know this to be the truth? No, there is no evidence, for all we know, the greeks could be right, who knows? Religion is just a creation to explain what science cannot. Remember when christianity really hit off, there wasn't this science we know of today to explain things? so people make explainations for themselves. Its a simple thing. As to why the universe exists? To that, I say 'Why not?'

Subject:	God and Freewill
Comment:	In respose to Brenna, I think I can help you with your freewill explanation. God gave each of us a freewill, meaning we are free to make our own decisions. It is not God's will that we sin, but if that is what we choose, then He allows it to happen. He gives us this right, so that we can better excercise our obediance to Him. As soon as we know the difference between right and wrong we are held responsible for our actions. We can choose to do the right thing, or the wrong thing. That essentially is freewill. Along with this, God also shows forgiveness, when we make a mistake, He forgives us if we ask. In summary-we can make our own decisions;it is not God's will when we sin, but He does allow it to happen, and then He gives us the opportunity to be forgiven. Hope this makes things more clear!

Subject:	knowledge
Comment:	knowledge is king. it is said the first step to knowledge is to realise u know nothing and this is true!! if the big G came down and showed himself to you, then there'd be no point to anything. this life is a test or challenge! your in school right now. if you don't learn your lessons you'll have to stay back in class. were as if you pass the tests along your path you can move in to the next grade. problem is most people only see the problems, but truely without problems there would be no need for solutions. What i ask u, would the plumbers do if there was nothing to fix??? so if there was nothing to fix then what would be Gods purpose?? because just like us God desires a purpose aswell, thats why its said that we're created in his image!! GET IT... Peace fellow pilgrims. i hope you find the right path
