...i have gradually come to the conclusion that the word 'god' in any race or religion means nothing to me however i would appreciate a believer explaining to me what the word means for them and if all people who stand on that side of the fence would agree that it means the one and same thing to all.

God is a very powerful, sentient being composed of 'energy', the source of all matter and energy in the universe. If matter or energy is destroyed, it reverts back to God. He is the sum total of all that is. Not to confuse you, however, I am also a Christian. Even still, I would be called a heretic by the majority of religions which call themselves Christian. This is because the whole world is deceived and just a very few know the truth. Of course, others who disagree with me would call me delusional. So, no, the opinions on this side of the fence (the believers in God) is as varied as that on the other side...there is no consensus, only confusion.

I propose we cease defending evolutionary biology against worthless claims and instead insist that those who offer alternatives provide scientifically credible evidence to support their claims.

There's the rub. The majority will always rule. None of the scientific evidence I could provide would ever be credible to those who oppose my view. I guess the point bleeds over to another thread: Can people choose what they believe?

At any rate, as has been pointed out, Creation and Evolution are apples and oranges. I agree with MOST of what is called Evolution, jumping off at the common descent part (or the origins of life).

I'll shut up and go elsewhere (another thread). Maybe I won't antagonize as much as I did here.

Then present some. It is as simple as that. You have been asked before and don't seem to be able to present a single shred of evidence that supports creationism. So please, stop the whining and present the evidence.

I did somewhere way back there. No matter, I'm out of gas.

I do really on doctors to treat injuries and illnesses. When I broke my arm, I went to a doctor who realigned the bone and put a cast on it and it healed correctly. If an ingrown toenail becomes infected, i go to have the toenail removed and receive antibiotics for the infection (the last this done was 6 days ago, and now my toe feels fine and looks the way it should, still have to finish the antibiotics though). When i fell head first off my scooter going down hill and chipped all of my front teeth up to the gums, a doctor reconstructed them, allowing me to chew food. Doctors are helpful, yet this is off topic so i'll stop here.

I agree that doctors do have a limited use. My point was that the more you rely on doctors, the more dangerous it becomes because your own body is better equipped at fighting illnesses than the treatments offered by doctors. There should be a warning label on all doctors: USE WITH CARE!

I said it to everyone, that's why i didn't include a name. I did not say " loser, stop with the personal comments".

Thank you...

Also, your right about the unicorn argument in regards to that there are animals with one horn. What i thought you meant by unicorn is the mythical horse with a horn description, so i apologize for that mistake.

...and thank you, again. My point there was that I feel that misnomers cause a lot of confusion and error and argument. It's like semantics. A lot of debate would be eliminated if we actually knew what people meant by the words that they used.

Halofan48, I like your style!
