But the bible itself is a book of myths, woven from only the barest hint of fact here and there (like certain cities and people actually existed). You can't point to the bible as verification of creation, or to debunk evolution.

You really, really, REALLY need to update your education. You're stuck back in the 1950s.

You're rehashing the same old thing you have in many other threads. Go re-read them and you'll have your answer, if you actually care to pay attention to what we say, and not just stomp your little feet and parrot the same old things over and over again.

So please tell us the real history of the Jews. Oh, I forgot, atheists are in the business of inventing a history of their imaginations. Let's see, so far you have new tribes of cavemen, which no one in history can verify, an ice age or several of them which no one in history can verify, an earth being created out of an explosion which no one in history even thought of, much less can verify. So scientists are the fathers of myths.

No, we believe things that have evidence, facts, and scientific proofs.

Say what? Are you not aware that ice ages can be scientifically proven? Oooh, that's right. You don't believe in science. Gotcha.

Instead, we have earth being created by a mythical being who snapped his fingers and poofed it into existence. Or any of the other thousands of creation myths that exist, all of them equally amusing and equally preposterous. Atheists don't claim to have all the answers. What we DO though, is depend on facts, science, evidence, et cetera rather than magic.

Right. Because there's absolutely no evidence for anything in the scientific world. You remember that next time you get sick and need to go to the hospital, or the next time you pick up your cell phone or watch your television or drive your car or go to the optometrist or dentist.

So now God gets to take credit for evolution. Perfect. Can anyone please explain why it is so incredibly important that there has to be a reason for life? I don't need it explained to me why people wonder about this. It is natural, I understand that. I began to wonder many years ago. But why must people have to have some tidy explanation for them to feel safe?

I understand that this is just a conversation, and I appreciate that and am also thankful that those people who need to continue to wonder need a place to do it. But I am coming to my wits end. It is becoming much more important to me to understand people, not their opinion of God.

Are you angry that this is all we get? Are you unsatisfied with this place and need the hope of heaven to feel good about why you are unsatisfied? Are you weak and can't wait to destroy and murder if you find out that there is no "force" to keep you in line? Should we homogenize the entire world so that you can feel safe traveling in it? What is it, please? I want to understand the need for God.

I guess I have to get over myself and understand that I was born into a time of spiritual immaturity. I can't be angry about that. Okay, I was off balance there for a minute. I'm feeling better now.

HAHAHA oh that is hilarious, i needed a good laugh, thanks Carico. U want to talk about Inventing a history while defending religion ?? What do u mean by no one in history can verify, we have found fossil records, that is proof. The ice ages are verified by taking core samples from the earth which show variations that led to a hypothesis of multiple ice ages, its a thory and they are working on finding further proof, which is way more than the religious people r doing.

we have way more proof for our "invented" history then u have for any of your religious version of history... a garden of eden, all mankind springing from 2 people, the entire earth being flooded while managing to get every single species from the smallest bug to the largest mammal onto a single boat that was hand made.. or r we picking and choosing r parts of the bible as science keeps proving it to be more and more rediculous.
