What is everyone's religion/non religion?(NO Arguments plz)

Theres nothing to say that some form of God didnt create the first life form etc, or some kind of chemical mixture we do not understand could have done it in the vast oceans of ancient earth etc There might be a formula when mixed together which creates a living cell. But evolution is focusing on an epic time span so you cant really say "its implausible that these mutations could have happened over time" as we are talking millions upon millions of millenniums. Things are happening in our life time that are proof that evolution is still happening.

Of course, humans are very different, but you can't not say that these things have not come from evolution either. At the basic level, things like pleasure and a desire for learning are ultimately only neurotransmitters firing in our brains here and there. There must be a certain understanding that learning will make us more likely to survive as we'll be able to provide for our families more, because education often reaps long-term reward.

I think there is no doubt that evolution exists, it happens every day (depending on the organism). I'm not sure how solid a foundation it is for the argument about the commencement of all life on earth though. Mutations in our genes aren't almost always bad, they're there as a mechanism of natural selection. If a mutation occurs that prevents an animal from functioning normally (standing out like a sore thumb for it's predator for example) the animal is usually killed off and never gets a chance to pass that on. If it is good - giving a giraffe a longer neck maybe - then it remains and we have the animals we see today. Let's not forget that cancers are not often a result of random mutations, they are almost certainly bought on by our way of life these days. Virus infections can lead to cancers, I'm sure the immense amount of radiation we're exposed to every day helps too. There are many good mutations that occur in our bodies too that you probably aren't aware of because the changes aren't so drastic.

I'm sure a T-Rex doesn't just sprout wings either. The animal that will become a bird must already be small, fairly agile and able to sustain itself should it have the gift of flight.

Me? How?

Oh well, I guess a casual reader will see otherwise.

If the pond rapidly diminishes, then the chances are that nothing will survive. If it happens gradually, then as conditions become more crowded and there is a fight for food and nutrition then there is a selective pressure on all animals to find food elsewhere. If some freak mutation gives a fish some sort of limb that it can walk or push itself around with, who knows! It will be able to find more food around the edges of the pond that other animals can't reach. Let's not forget that the sea hasn't dried up yet though ;)

I am trying to find the article but i was reading something online a few weeks back about an underwater cavern which was discovered by divers which had an entire ecosystem of creatures that were extremely similar to other species found above ground etc however they had EVOLVED over the millions of years they had been separate from their main species, and developed the ability to survive in their environment which had no light and very little else within it. Because of their environment they had evolved enough to survive without eyes, so eyes no longer grew where they normally did on the exact same creature we already know. Instead the evolved creatures had other improved ability which enabled them to sense fluctuations in the air composition etc and thus they could survive anyway. I believe, although i may get the element wrong, but instead of oxygen they survived from some kind of methane or sodium or something. I Will find the link!!!

The point is, evolution is not something that was just dreamed of, there is so much evidence it is impossible to ignore it.

i'm roman catholic. We believe jesus was our savoir and that he will come again to save us all. WE also beleive that the holy spirit jesus and god are one person in three bodies. we are the orriginal form of christianity and the closest form is eastern orthadox

I'm atheist. I think thats how you spell it. Reasons...unknown to the human world. Only the monkeys!

Koji, the catholic branch is not the first and original branch of Christianity...it is the roman branch of an already formulated religion.

actualy the catholic branch is what became of the branch of christainity in rome. it became known as roman catholic becuase all forms of christianity were cut off from each other when rome entered the dark ages. after that other branches formed but we are the remainder of the orriginal branch of christianity

no catholics are christians. it is a common misconception that we are not christian becuase of many reasons

It is not a common misconception mate, some people are just completely ignorant of the world around them. I know monkeys who know that Catholics are Christians haha, what a ridiculous thing to say.
But you are right, everything else is an off shoot of catholicism but catholics were not the original :)

i w0rship d3ad p3opl3 and fatal fram3 gam3s!

Ghostbuster that is a crock of shite. Yes you might not say prayers to the other members of the bible, but that doesn't mean catholics are not Christians!! It just means they respect more members of Jesus' group. Although i can only recall prayers to Jesus/God/Mary no one else.

Wolfie! Catholicism is the main branch, are you not reading this thread?! If Christianity were a tree, catholicism would be one of the first branches off of it, EVERY other form of Christianity would be a branch FROM THAT.

Heh yama...like prelude said....u wanna start a topic about religon and u expect us not to fight?

My dad said never start a topic anout religion unless u wanna start a fight^^

ok im a Muslim....and till now i think that our relgion so far makes most sense to me
i dont get the fact how christians ever came to the thought of ever thinking that Jesus is Gods Son....
in our religion we call it Haram....which means its a Sin

yeah well he saved us by putting himself up on the cross and why do we have to fight i mean if there is a god like we all think there is then why are fighting about the same person. sure we call him different things but he is the same person for all of us
