Yeah. Why exclude virus' - they are another wonderous creation of our loving god

You prove He is just, not just loving.

It rains on the ...

You and rocky prove there is always a cloud behind a silver lining, for a little while, anyway, which is exactly your objective and purpose.

Folks like you all keep us from living in Heaven on Earth now, and gives us hope in the hereafter.

Thank you and your bud satan.

Makes no difference.

Are you aware of the timescales involved? What happened after each of the five major extinction events?

I'm only in the arguement because I hate the way religion detracts from appreciating life as it is and just accepting that. Religion breeds many "sins" and relies on a propaganda based on fear of death, or rather what lies there after.

Time is better spent on a Sunday morning practicing double taps and mag changes, than filling ones head with delusional religous rubbish IMHO

False. Micro-evolution has been proven, but the grander and all-important claims (macro-evolution) have not been proven.

You enjoy the unprecedented benefits of a culture called "western" civilization. Its premises are entirely religious; it is built upon Judeo-Christian morality and the fundamental precepts of Judeo-Christian monotheism.

No, civilisation and culture exists despite religion. I think christians and non-believers have 30% population each, the remaining 40% is all the other religions.

Religion is the "appendix" in the evolution of philosophy.

Not western civilization. You are utterly ignorant of history and the foundations of western culture. Utterly. Modern philosophy is entirely nihilistic, root and branch; it denies the existence of any such thing as "good".

Well I am partially ignorant but it was politics that led the decisions for the advancement of society - sometimes under the guise of religion, but intentions divorced from religion none the less. There are prinicples in philosophy that drive religion and politics, and certainly religion fails these days to meet those intentions, and probably never did anyway.

On re-think you are right. I recall of days gone where general bigotry and racial discrimination were bourne out of those of religeous faith.

You need to brush up the evidence for evolution

Good is relative. We would not consider it good to be killed and eaten by a crocodile, but the crocodile probably feels good about getting a meal.

And your statement that "good" is relative says everything, to say nothing of being analytically silly as self-refuting.

In other words you didn't understand what I said.

Shark bites leg off surfer - good for the shark. Surfer sees the situation differently.

Yep.

I know the claims and the arguments. They are not convincing....a spontaneous remission in every five million terminal cancer cases is a natural anomaly not divine intervention or a miracle. [/quote]

You are not talking from good information. The book is about a scientist who took a crew of doctors to record actual missionaries praying and what happens. The book is filled with documentation of person after person being healed from blindness or deafness. Read the book. You will be surprised.

Finally, my .com friend, I agree with your post. You understand it better than the vast majority of Christians.
