    What about all of the other scientific 'facts' that have been disproven with the advancements of technology and historical knowledge? It was once a fact that man couldn't fly, or that the world was flat (not strictly true that one, only a small minority actually believed that). There are well researched scientists now that still believe Darwin to be incorrect, and have their own facts and theories as to why.

    The simple answer is none of us know the truth or facts. We believe what we believe based on our own experiences and what we are told. Every scientific fact is the outcome of results that have shown that to be true. But in an infinate universe, an infinite number of outcomes is possible, which means eventually, if you had long enough, every fact could be disproved with evidence.

    Religion and beliefs, whether in God or Darwin (or anything else) is a deeply personal thing and will be different for everone based on what they have experienced.

    That's why I love the bit at the end of Miracle on 34th Street. Very few people when faced with inevitable death, don't pray for some kind of help or salvation... I read that in an article written by someone who used to be an executioner, who found it strange that these hard men had no faith, yet ultimately something inside them made them turn to God when they felt absolutely nothing else could save them...

    This is quite an interesting thread... I'm curious to hear other peoples thoughts, so long as they aren't derogatory to anyone elses...

    See, i believe, believing in sky fairies is helping to stunt scientific advancement, stopping the poor in some countries living, it's killing people worldwide every day. It makes me angry seeing the hugely wealthy RC church pray for the starving millions in Africa, when if they only got off their arses, they could feed them. Prayer, easier than actually doing something, one day we will end religion.

    I'm with you there. I can't stand religion - it's just a set of rules, designed to control and causes wars because man can't cope with faith and trusts unquestioningly.

    Confusing faith, and religion, is something most people do. I have faith, but I'm not religious. I don't use what I believe as a big stick to make other people do what I want, or see things my way (I have the forum for that! ;D )


    Of course, there could be no such thing as God - perhaps it's all aliens?
