We didn't evolve FROM the primates. Both the primates and ourselves are descendants from one common ancestor.
"We have documents from Rome that says he was real"

So if I went to Jerusalem, printed off some sheets of paper that said "GOD IS NOT REAL" in a fancy font, could it be used in an argument?

That theory dose not explain who the world was created or how people got on this earth or animals???

Reading between the lines, it says that God caused everything. I disagree with the theory because, as stated, it is flawed - the theory bends the rules in favour of the belief of God.

There is another theory, which suggests that people who claim to have had a 'religious experience' are, in fact, insane; that is to say that these people have some form of a mental problem. I wouldn't quite agree with the wording of the theory, but I certainly consider the concept to be entirely possible. Afterall, 'hearing voices' isn't good for your sanity - religious or not.

The Catholic church didn't make your friend go to a Catholic school, the judgement of his parents did. And how their attitudes were affected by the church is a different matter, since that is the way they have chosen to live their life.

We are all affected by those around us, and in that way religion is no different to law or morality or just common sense.

I absolutely believe that they think they can hear God. However since I do not believe in God I don't actually believe God is communicating with them.

I dont take that offence because im not catholic. I dont belive in some thing that the catholic churches belive in

Just wanted to add about the papers comment.

I highly doubt it proves the existence of God. Jesus probably, but not God.

Oh, I see. So writing a consistent date on a piece of paper proves that God exists. Your point is so much more structured, now. [/sarcasm]

You want to see proof of evolution? Research Darwin's theory of Evolution. It's more reliable than these "Roman" documents, anyway.

I read darwin theory and i belive one on is theory and that the theory of natual selection. I dont belive in the other ones

Thats what i was talking. srry for not putting that in the post. But if jesus did these miracles and said that he was the son of god. Then god most be real in some form or another

the Theory of Natural Selection is the whole bit that proves that evolution is real. I don't understand why you're still trying to argue about the primate thing. We're from the same ancestors. Hence, we're in the Homo category. It never said we evolved from apes. It says that we all may have originated and evolved from the same beings.

I'm still jumbled up. I cant even remember what the scientific name of primates are.

March 24, 2007, 1:07 AM

so if we envoled from an "Ancestor" were did they envolve from and were did that thing envolve from. It all leads back to The creation of earth and the creation of animal by god
