[quote]If most atheists say "if i cant see it i dont believe it". How can you possibly believe in the big bang and AN UNPROVEN THEORY about macro evolution[/quote]
The funny thing is we can see these things. We can see expansion of the universe, we can see cosmic background radiation. We can see change and variation within species and we can also see it over time. All it takes is to apply those same principals which work on the simple merchanisms of DNA, to other living things. That creates the hypothesis of evolution. Things like the fossil record, DNA, comparative embryology, analogous structures, homologous structures, vestigial organs, chromosome 2 in our genome, genetic drift and geographic isolation and of course direct observation have proven that evolution is a thing. Dismissing a scientific theory based on the fact that it doesn't line up with your religion or personal beliefs is very ignorant.

Edited by U R My ChewToy: 6/17/2015 7:38:37 PMWhoever said im simply dismissing it because it doesn't agree with my religion? Ive questioned my religion and studied evolution (not super extensively) but i have considered that possibility. It's ignorant if you to make assumptions about my life

I didn't make assumptions about [i]your[/i] life, I simply stated dismissing something proven because it doesn't line up with your personal beliefs or religion is ignorant. That doesn't mean I meant [i]you[/i] are doing that.

You were kind of implying that

So? It doesn't matter, its just a point I was making. We could argue about your life or the topic. I'd much rather talk about evolution since its the topic.
