you make assumptions that can't be proven, then claim that science backs you up.

Firstly, that isn't science because science is not about making “assumptions that can't be proven”. What you describe above is a good description of the creationist religion that pretends to be backed up by science.

Secondly, the only real war that was don ...[text shortened]... se for war -only pseudoscience in WW2 and, much more often than this in other wars, religion.

That pseudoscience was evolution or really evilution.

Many of these fights are fomented by Christians.

Other than that, I agree with most ...[text shortened]... hat you said. Muslims are not stupid. Christians are just hypocrites, like Reagan and Bush.

I totally agree, most muslims and most christians are not stupid. Just duped by the dogma of their faiths where they let other humans rule their minds. There is just as much culpability on the part of christians as on muslims. Simply put, they BOTH suck bigtime. And Hindi's are not the peace loving sect they like to portray either.

The truth is that no one has the right to tell others how to believe. Those who forget this truth are haters.

There you go with your religious views in the Science Forum again. What must we do to keep these atheist religious views out of the Science Forum. It seems to be a losing battle.

Talk about the kettle calling the pot black.

This is you verbatim on another thread right here in science:

And maybe then the fullness of the gentiles will be complete and the Jews will say, "Blesses is He that comes in the name of the Lord."

HalleluYah !!!

The war on terror obviously.

I believe we have a little war right here in this forum.

No, we have a troll who insists on posting about creationism in half the threads in the science forum.

Actually creationism has scientific merit as does evolution. Both camps have a leap in faith for their respective belief system.

No, this is a lie.

Creationism has no scientific merit at all.

And evolution requires no leap of faith, and is not a belief system.
It is a scientific theory. An explanatory framework supported by huge amounts of evidence
and contradicted by none.

I know you are religiously indoctrinated to believe otherwise and we can discuss this
(yet again) in spirituality if you like.

BUT CREATIONISM IS NOT, HAS NEVER BEEN, AND NEVER WILL BE, SCIENCE.

You can pontificate all you like on this subject. Just not in this forum.

'Actually creationism has scientific merit as does evolution.'

Gets the biggest LOL of the week!!

I believe you are wrong on both accounts:

The truth is that no one has the right to tell others how to believe.

No, we DO have that right but only providing we are telling people that they should be LOGICAL in how they believe. We have the right to tell people that they should believe what is true purely according to flawless logic and the evidence and NOT according to what they WANT to be true. Delusional beliefs i.e. those NOT based on just logic/evidence have been (and also will be ) responsible for countless millions of murders across the world mainly by delusional brutal dictators and leaders that delusionally believed, amongst many other delusional beliefs, that a god was on their side -this must stop.

Those who forget this truth are haters.

It isn't the “truth” and those that disbelieve it need not hate because of it. Those with delusional minds generally do far more hating than I (and probably most scientists and most other people with high IQ ) ever will -THEY are the true haters.

P.S. I may or may not have time to respond to any post for a few days -we shall see.

I never said a hater would agree with me.

So you figure the inquisitions were ok, the burning at the stake of non-believers, the tortures and the present day tortures, rape and forced conversion to Islam, all that shyte is ok with you?

Oh yeah, that was all do to bad people not bad religion. NOT. It is due to bad religion. The only good religion is a dead religion. Then the human race has a chance at true maturity, till then it is one religious war after another ad infinitum. But of course, all that is ok with the true believers.

I guess you would view it as a population control initiative.
