For me? As in you have your own set of logical rules that lets you believe in something without evidence? Thank you for helping to prove my earlier point.

Of course it is. The issue at hand is whether or not the bible and evolution are mutually exclusive. What this implies is that science invalidates part of the bible. It's quite obvious science invalidates the first chapter of genesis (as well as many other parts). My comment is germane to this discussion because Christians (and most theists) are inconsistant when it comes to this concept. Some will allow for evolution to invalidate Genesis. Well, why not let modern biology invalidate the resurrection?

LOL Not this
again. I'm sick to death of this hollow and asinine accusation. Get some facts behind what you state or I'll just assume that you're speaking out of desperation rather than any truth.

Islam was based off of the the teachings of Mohammad (mostly), and you tell me what his goal was. I think it may have been hope.

It doesn't matter what Islam was based off. It's disingenuous to ignore the glaringly obvious fact that Islam is used to control people. Especially women.

Why not? Because you say so? Because you haven'tbeen indoctrinated from birth to believe it to be one? Because it hasn't had 1600 years to institutionalize itself in Western culture?
