:::Why is it shocking? I haven't said at all that the science is wrong, I'm just pointing out some philosophical things. Is that insulting? As far as the God argument, there is a difference between ''denying'' God, and being ''convinced'' that He doesn't exist. All I'm saying is that it is impossible to be ''convinced''. Convinced means you can prove that God does not exist, denying means that you don't believe He exists, whether He does or not. You have got the burden of proof my friend. --[[User:Ymmotrojam|Ymmotrojam]] 12:02, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

::::The entire thing is based on an extremely flawed perception of science and nitpicking on semantics. You'd apparently treat the phrase "I believe I'm right" as an expression of religious faith, but it's not. This is not about belief or faith. And implying religious statements from the scientific position is beyond insulting - it's ridiculous. --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 12:16, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
:::I guess to put it in other terms, although there are arguments against it, ''Theistic Evolutionism'' is the bare minimum option. I'm not the only one that thinks these things. --[[User:Ymmotrojam|Ymmotrojam]] 12:13, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

::::Sorry, but no. Theistic Evolution is based on believing that Genesis is correct. There are TONS of Christians who believe in God and still think that Genesis is nothing but a nice story. "Being Christian" does not equal "taking the Bible literally". --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 12:16, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
