    Get real god boy :razz:
    What about all the other religions? They're all wrong?
    One thing I've noticed about christians is their arrogance (or what comes off as arrogance) when it comes to evolution vs creationism vs other religions, in additon to being highly hypocritical.
    Evolution atleasts attempts to explain how we got here (with limited sucess) where as christians just tell you to read the bible and other nonsense.
    The thing with god, is there is no proof what so ever.
    They cant even begin to explain the things they believe and why they think so while sounding semi intelligent.

    I personally know a lot of christians, I don't know one that doesn't believe in evolution. The beliefs of the churches aren't necessarily the beliefs of the followers.

    Yoda, who utterred the most intelligent thing which I have tried to adhere to my whole life so far :
    "Do, or do not. There is no try."

    John Carmack, who utterred the second most intelligent thing, a description of me which I have not stopped trying to be and which continues to guide me now :
    "You are being pushy."

    My son, who regularly utters the following intelligent phrase without him knowing that it makes me want to be a better man and father :
    "You are my papa... why can't you do that?"

    Yes. He duplicated and surpassed the work of syndicated mathematician, in a relatively isolated environment.

    Wasn't smart enough to write up his proofs though, was he? :D

    Hey, a man who could declaim the whole of Dante's "Divina Commedia" backwards only because he had been asked if he was able to do such a thing, couldn't be that stupid, could he? :D

    Leonardo da Vinci was sure a genius, but also very wasteful and inconclusive.
