And Evolution is a much more plausible reason for our intelligence than god.

At least we have evidence for Evolution.

I'm sorry but I can't sit here and read all of these posts. I'm only on page 4 but I'm not going to read all of these. Sorry to get in the argument so late but you said that God created man in his image. That being said Jesus was the human embodiment of God. The way that man depicts God in image, is him being a white male with a beard. So Jesus was a white man in the middle East. No big deal. In the Bible he is depicted as a man who got a lot of people to believe in something without proof of it existing. Therefore man in his current form should consider someone like George W. Bush (if he had a beard) to the perfect the human. I mean he got into college without any real intelligence. No big deal. But to blatantly tell the American public that Iraq was hiding WMD's while it simply wasn't true and they still believe him. Sounds like Jesus to me. Another thing is that animals have the ability to communicate with each other. Dogs with Dogs and Cats (I believe) as well. Man cannot understand these animals but somehow these animals are still capale of learning some of the things we say?Sounds like we lose that one.

I can imagine if rats debate over whether God chose them because they're the only species that can compress their ribcages and chew through metal. CLEARLY they've been chosen, duh.

Cats and other small animals can compress their ribcages and squeeze through tiny openings. Sharks and piranhas, among others, can chew through metal. But that's not even the point. None of these traits have given any species the ability to RULE THE WORLD!!! I've said this like a million times!! I'm done arguing this! From here on out, anything you or anyone else argues along this line shall be ignored.

Cats and other small animals can compress their ribcages to fit into crawlspaces. Sharks and piranhas, among others, can chew through metal. But that's not even the point.

WE DON'T RULE THE WORLD, WE RULE OUR WORLD!!!!

MANY ANIMALS ARE THE RULERS OF THEIR OWN HABITATS!!!!!

OUR HABITAT IS CIVILISATION, IT IS CITIES, IT IS VILLAGES, IT IS HOUSES, IT IS NOT THE WHOLE FRICKING WORLD!!!

MANY OTHER ANIMALS CAN USE TOOLS, WHY DON'T YOU GO ASK GOD IF THEY WILL EVOLVE INTO A MORE INTELLIGENT SPECIES IN THE FUTURE?!?!?!?!!!

OH WAIT....YOU FUCKING CAN'T BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T EXIST

Naturally, you've been ignoring reality since the beginning of this absurd thread.

Get it through your thick fundie head. God did not create YOU in his fucking image. You created god in yours.

And god gets the short end of the stick in that deal!

You've been ignoring the painfully obvious this entire thread. You say this is evidence of a creator, but fail to realize that it's begging the question, and your assumptions of world conquest by the human race is just a demonstration of a species being advantageous in its environment, but by no means is one species advantageous in ALL environments. That's not how evolution by natural selection works, and would pretty much undermine the entire basis of by which species develop.

You repeatedly ignore refutations to your wild assertions and post up trivial information and don't stick around to find out it's the same shit that theists peddle around here before they leave, realizing they can't make logic suit their purposes just because it's what they believe.

Rationalization isn't proof of God.

Wishful thinking isn't proof of God.

Fuzzy feelings aren't proof of God.

If you're ready to engage in a debate, be prepared to listen to views that contradict yours, and weigh them on their logical merit, don't just fault them because they don't reflect your view.

When you figure that out, then we'll be on our way to have a conversation. Until then, stop your juvenile tantrums and emotional tirades. No one gives a shit. If you're not willing to consider an argument that is in front of you, then there is no useful dialogue. We don't need preachers.

Evolution is still a much more plausible reason than god.

Now argue that.

I believe in both.

Alrighty- Ok Angel, I too am coming late to this, sorry about that- what evidence do you have of a God, OTHER than the Bible? Was that stated in here?

Humans are intelligent and rule the world = God exists.

He's been shown countless examples of how this isn't the case and he's ignored them and called everyone naive youngsters.

That's the gist of it.
