Re: indentured servants my ass.....
A glance at another site showed me something real obvious. Based on all the paintings that exist, the biggest miracle Jesus preformed, was being a white guy in the middle east.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. Stephen HawkingComment

He was the first person to propose the theory of the expansion of the Universe, widely misattributed to Edwin Hubble.[1][2] He was also the first to derive what is now known as the Hubble's law and made the first estimation of what is now called the Hubble constant, which he published in 1927, two years before Hubble's article.[3][4][5][6]Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe, which he called his 'hypothesis of the primeval atom'.[7]

Re: indentured servants my ass.....
I remember as a kid wondering the same thing about all the pictures of Jesus being white. He was from the middle east and looked like them, not the white hippe popular in most of the pictures in America. Speaking of pictures I thought I'd point out the obvious, Jesus never sat for anyone to paint his portrait. All the things pointed out in the Da Vinci code about the last supper painting have no real basis in fact and are just someone who lived hundreds of years later guessing what it looked like. Da Vinci didn't know what Jesus looked like let alone where people sat or where their hands were at the last supper.The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable to the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein. -Fred HoyleComment

Re: indentured servants my ass.....
I have no problem with the big bang theory, it fits with my theistic worldview. This isn't meant to be sarcastic but I'm curious how the big bang fits into an athiest worldview?
*gets on soapbox*
I like discussing religion but I would never force my view on anyone. I think of it like discussing the toppings I like on pizza. I love banana peppers and could discuss why, but I respect someone who doesn't like them. They certainly have the right to discuss why and heck , might even state some facts why they don't. But it is no reason to get ugly about it. Unless I crossed a line and tried passing a law forcing people to get bananna peppers just because I like them. Which I wouldn't do.

Re: indentured servants my ass.....
It floors me how scientists work. They come up with a conclusion and then work backwards to prove it. lol. When cops do this they call it profiling.
Big Bang? Seriously? This is the best they could come up with? A huge explosion with nothing organic in it somehow creates life? Maybe it was God claping His hands. That sounds more plausible. Just saying.Comment

Re: indentured servants my ass.....
Ha Ha Ha , I know this thread will soon drive me ...well anyway, I am not really sure where you were going with that, but I guess I am the only one who sees the Irony Of almost every religious group in America, pushing creationism and calling scientific theory such as The Big Bang, "lies from the pit of hell", and then discover it was first thought of by a priest, is not only ironic, it is funny as hell.
relevant...Congressman draws fire for calling evolution, Big Bang
By the way, you should look at having a religion like having a penis. It is great you got one. It is fine to be proud of it. It is even OK to brag about it, once in a while...But don't wave it in my face. Don't assume everybody else needs to be exposed to it. Don't try to write laws with it, and please don't show up at the schools and start showing it to the kids.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
