Islam is not a new religion or the newest religion..

[Ran]

The irony of this statement reached right through my TV and killed me.

My statement was actually prompted by someone else posting something lacking in substance, instead laden with vitriol and non-facts.

Irony? There was no irony. I consider his post just as worthless as yours was due to the content. However, there's no reason why you should of had to lower your standards and respond in kind. Judging from the statements in your more recent posts, you seem to be capable of more than that. That's a compliment.

Science has flaws such as... I'm waiting... really...
I suppose the most popular one is natural selection and evolution and the contention by zany idiots that there's debate within the scientific community about whether or not this actually takes place.

Unless you count the people who got their education at diploma mills arguing that the great biblical flood was caused by the Earth's crust cracking and that dinosaurs are actually 700 year old iguanas, there is not.

If you're insinuating science doesn't have an explanation to all the "big questions" religion wants to answer you're sadly mistaken.

Okay, maybe I misworded. I do know, and respect, that science gives us answers to most things in our physical world. No question there. Also, I'm not much into the Evolution vs. Creation debate. I do, however, wonder about the origin of this world and of life itself. For one reason of another, I find it a bit easier to accept a divine creator over a random explosion in the cosmos. That and the simple complexity of physical life itself. I don't see how single cell organisms could simply come together and form something as complex as even an eye. Save your evolution over time response because I've heard it before and I still find it hard to accept the fact that there wasn't some sort of greater essence at work.

Religion is nothing but ignorance.

Kind of a bold statement. I'll accept the fact that religion is based primarily on faith and belief. However, I think to ignore it all together is just as ignorant as those that would ignore science.

Just because its easier to believe doesn't make it a more complete or correct explanation.

Its not really the same since me rejecting religion is all there is to it. I personally will not believe it.

I'm not going to consider you a lower life form if you're religious, force you to become an apostas or legislate your life into second class citizen hell.

Or do any of those crazy things we think would NEVER happen in the incredibly tolerant United States of America >>

That's the difference.
