I Have Arrived
#1
I Have Arrived
I am a fourteen-year-old game enthusiast and modder. My expertise mostly fall under Valve's Hammer Editor and I have been mapping with it for a little over a year. My favorite games include Portal, Half-Life, Alien Swarm, and just about every other Valve game out there. I'm also a huge fan of the indie games Starbound, Terraria, Cave Story, The Stanley Parable, VVVVVV, Thomas Was Alone, and To the Moon.

I became an atheist about a year ago when I realized that all religion was bullshit and the difference between Greek Myths and the Bible is minimal. My father is a speech language pathologist currently working on Story Champs (he hates the name, though) and my mother is a graphic designer (you may have seen some of her stuff for Chem-Dry).

Since most of the atheists here seem to know a lot more than I do, I think I'll mostly just spectate for the most part as apposed to actually posting.

I don't think it's so much the "knowing" as much as common sense.

Heyo and welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

You already appear to be sharper than most of the 'adults' here. I think there will be mutual learning taking place.

But we can't make fun of you if you don't post.

Welcome to the forums, Caden.
"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."
