Myself, I am less religious and more spiritual and I am saddened by the amount of bickering on this topic. I have noticed that this statement tends to offend but: it is hard for me to believe that all of this (microcosms, ecosystems, infinite cosmos, et al.) and all of the beautiful and powerful things that surround us just "happened". I struggle I imagine, with that like the people who believe in evolution struggle with someone like me who sees a certain artistry behind the whole interworkings of life, and how we are in the precise place in the solar system to have abundant life of many different varieties; how there are many simple atoms and molecules that arranged themselves in a way which not only would sustain the majority of life on this little planet (h2o) in 'relative abundance', yet be so valuable because there is no way (I could be mistaken here, I never claimed to be a scientist) to reproduce it (I know you can seperate it into seperate molecules, but can it be synthetically be produced by human hands? I don't think so.); and how there is a way that a child can so eloquently explain complicated matters without prior knowledge or life experience. To me it's self evident, esoteric and divine.
Evolutionists have their own god as I see it, but it does not love them.
On a side note...
Did you ever notice that people who don't believe in God or ID, are the ones who usually say things like "God Damned this, or Jesus Christ did you see such and such? That just seems odd to me. I dunno maybe it's just me.

p.s. FLAME ON!!! (I know it's coming!)
p.p.s. TruthSeeka: love the sig's. Those are hilarious and yet disturbingly depressing at the same time.

Just because a bridge and a dog house were built with the same material does that mean that they had a common ancester?
If you want to nit pick numbers then a 5% differance is 300,000,000 differances between our genomes and Chimps how close does that make us as cousins?
Agreed that a common ancester couuld be the tree but how closely related are the dog house and bridge? Douse that make them an evolution of each other.
Look at a supsention bridge and a draw bridge, very close. Yet some people are still stuck in their arrogant, immature, and self delusional mindset that they cannot see the differance between the two despite everyone trying to point them.

And if you ar truly at west point and graduate the first thing that you will learn in combat is that there is a god and the second is, there are no atheist once the shooting starts.
Hoo AH.

Name one expirement that has EVER PRODUCED a living organism from the way you describe it happening. NOPE CANT DO IT CAN YOU.

You killed yourself in the last paragragh "there was a bridge designed by man at some point". Thank you for making my point for me.
AS FAR AS YOUR SECOND POST, My post wasnot directed at you it was at westpoint23. If you want the answers to your questions sign up and volunteer to go to the sand box and play with the big boys.
A strand of RNA is a very long way from a bacterium.
All along stating that evolution is a theory not fact. Again you stated that " ther was a bridge desighned by a man at some point" The golden gate is a far cry from a tree falling.
And if you ar truly at west point and graduate the first thing that you will learn in combat is that there is a god and the second is, there are no atheist once the shooting starts.
What questions were valid and in whos Opinion? Yours Until you serve in the military Your questions and opinions regarding such things as combat dont count for anything.
