"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."
-Stephen Jay Gould  
You're just repeating bullshit that has already been stated and clearly destroyed with counter-arguments.
THere's no logic in your desperate attempt to justify your belief. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

You have yet to provide a reason why we should believe you. Also, you need to come clean about your trolling. ![[Image: 10314461_875206779161622_3907189760171701548_n.jpg]](https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t1.0-9/10314461_875206779161622_3907189760171701548_n.jpg)
Why would my parents lie? They never lie about anything else.

But my parents recommend me listen to Joseph Prince above reading the Bible, since they say I am not at the state of mind to understand the Bible yet. I have OCD, and they say right now reading the bible without any context is one of the worst things I can do right now. So, what they want you to do, is become so gullible before you read the Bible, that you'll be able to excuse and rationalize any atrocity, immorality, and magical event in the Bible. If you read it before you are gullible enough, you might actually have to admit, that it just may be immoral when 'God' condones owning and beating slaves. Exodus 21 You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.  (February 27, 2014 at 2:56 pm)JesusLover1 Wrote: Why would my parents lie? They never lie about anything else. It's very helpful to finish statements like that last one with "that I know of." After all, I'm sure you're not claiming you know everything, and your parents are human, so of course they lie. More importantly, you're on shaky logical ground to begin with; from our perspective everything they've ever told you about god is untrue, but more importantly, it doesn't follow that if what they told you was untrue they were lying. They could just be wrong.
