Hi. I mentioned God in respect of the value of man/woman, irrespective of the value attributed by others. [quote]Yet god has absolutely nothing to do with any examples of evolution in action. Try to stay on topic or is that too hard?[quote]
Hypothesize means that an assumption is made in the absence of conclusive proof. As you know, evolution is a theory. The second law of thermodynamics is a fact - it can be tested and has been tested and found to be true.[/quote]Gravity is a theory too, Are you really going to be foolish enough to jump off a 50 story building since it isn't a fact? BTW, to paraphrase Stephen Gould, evolution has so much evidence, only a perverse mind could deny it is a fact.

Would you prefer that a person of different persuasion be silenced because his/her views are different to yours?
[/quote]As far as Christian views I would go much farther. Let's just say it would be a small step below what Christians did to atheists for 1500 years. In case you are unfamiliar with them let me list them. Christians outlawed atheists from universities and teaching careers, besmirched their reputations, burned their books, drove them into exile, humiliated them, burned their property, arrested them for blasphemy, dehuminized them with beatings and torture, gouged their eyes out, slit their tongues, crushed and broke their bones, tore of women's breasts, crushed men's genitals, put them in prison, stabbed them, disembowled them, hung them and burnt them alive.
Christians did all that to atheists for 1500 years and you have the fucking nerve to complain if an atheist wants to silence you as a Christian? Would you prefer to have any of the above done to you?
