If your belief brings you comfort, gets you through life and harms no one, fine,... Thats a big IF. the religious waffle they keep regurgitating can and does adversely effect gullible weak minded types. Its known to lead suckers down the garden path And spawn and encourage clueless nutters just like its done for two millenia.

For years I have been pondering the ultimate proof of creation. I found it. Whether one accepts it or not does not change the fact any more than saying gravity doesn't exist. The proof is that Absolute morality exist. Just the fact that we are conscious and self-aware seems an adequate proof that more than mere nature was involved. Self awareness generally makes the dirt only crowd super angry. They cannot deny the self evident reality... and everybody knows it.

Pope John Paul II (1996) affirmed evolutionary theory in his message to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, but rejected it for the human soul, which he saw as the result of a separate, special creation.
The Church of England publicly endorsed evolutionary theory (e.g., M. Brown 2008), including an apology to Charles Darwin for its initial rejection of his theory.
That was very condescending.
And ignorant too! Darwin was a dud.

The proof is that Absolute morality exist. All morality is retaliative. Absolute morality is as much a myth as your god. I often like to reflect upon Julian the Apostate and the events surrounding the failure to rebuild the temple.

Thanks for posting, wabi. Those might warriors of David had some BIG brass balls, no? One of them killed 800 of his enemies with a spear. Good grief!

Neo-Darwinism is a secular creation theory (myth actually) that does not fit the evidence (it is radically at odds with the fossil record) and is not even falsifiable (according to no less an expert than Karl Popper). In fact, the concept of "survival of the fittest" is essentially a tautology with approximately zero explanatory power. Micro-evolution (small variations over time) is well established. But that's not where the action is. Neo-Darwinian Creationists think they can extrapolate from micro-evolution as establishing proof of macro-evolution, but it doesn't work because everything we know about biology, genetics, species and speciation tells us that no matter how we try to change them (to say nothing of nature) fruit flys remain fruit flys, dogs remain dogs, cats remain cats and finches remain finches.

Morality is a human construct. Nature cares not in the slightest about suffering, whether a lion eats a lamb while it's still alive, or a child is left to die of starvation. Wrong. You justify your animal like nature. God gave a spirit and made the difference between human and animals. Many elect to reject that and remain as lower class animals, as you do. You hardened your heart, not the hearts of others. You hardened your heart, not Him. Others know what's inside them. A God given spirit. So, here you are, a base animal, yet you will be a mind reader and tell others what's in them? Take your pick, dumb animal or psychiatrist. If most humans were dumb animals like you, they wouldnt have the ability to form moral constructs. You disprove your own words. Here you are, an unmoraled animal trying to push your amorality on others, that in itself is an attempt at building a social construct. What drive do you have that forces you to do that? Hummm. An education might help. There must be adult courses on science, sociology psychology, erc, available in your town or city? Just a suggestion. People are alive who were blind like you, and now some can see. But, geniuses, like you, can be blind and still tell people who have learned to see, what things really look like? Right.  You just keep on telling folks who have seen both sides of life that both sides of the coin look the same as the only side you have seen. You dont even have the intelligence to comprehend what I'm saying. Go ask a deaf person what a meadowlark sounds like. A Christian has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If there were no Jesus Christ it would be impossible for a relationship to exist. Youre too stupid to realize some on this earth experience things you dont, or you're pissed off about it and attack Believers and Christ because you aren't so blessed. You're too stupid to consider some people may have prayers answered, regardless whether you do or not. HE said the prayer of a righteous man availeth much. You lie. Not Him. That's not a rational argument. You are preaching in a defensive manner. It only fools those who are of the same mind, defending their faith. It's quite understandable. Doc went off the rails about 3 years ago. That's about when he started loosing his ability to make rational arguments. He hasn't been the same since. Jag-off is a Doc? You're joking right? I wouldn't see him for an in grown hair!

His patience are all welfare cases.

Video to the masses is what christianity was sorely missing. Since for some centuries there was no Bible, then there was Bible but very few had a copy. Not until 1455 was there a printed Bible, but not mass produced, even when mass produced versions came about, there was a hitch; folks still remained largely illiterate for the next few centuries following... LoL.

Not even close. Evolution has withstood more than a hundred and fifty years of questioning testing. Nobody has falsified evolution. Some of the details of th e theoretical aspect, the mean and mechanism, have been wrong but that just shows the work that ahs gone into it. You can try, but just making a statement won't do the trick.
