Used to be a Mormon

Quote:I still can't get them to get off the whole "I know it's true because I feel it" thing.

A common claim of most xtians, too...seeing as how you don't have any real evidence.

Welcome, lad.

Welcome to the forums.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

Be sure to barbecue kittens, record the NFL without their permission, and rip the tags off of your mattress.

Sounds good, I have four cats. Ones plump and ready for the grill but I'll have to buffen up the others before plopping them on the cooker. I'll be a good atheist and eat children too.
