Why start with amoebas? Poof! Here's Adam and Eve. Poof! Cows and trees. Instant Earth.
And then God, who is all powerful and all knowing and who created the Universe, suddenly becomes tired and has to rest on the seventh day? That makes about as much sense.
I'm not saying it didn't happen that way, just pointing out if you're going to question the atheist approach shouldn't you also question other ideas with the same fervor as well?
Did I say I questioned it? I just put up the definition? Is it wrong?
Yes, it was stupid. Still love you though. I'm an atheist and I have no problem if someone wants to believe in whatever God they want to. Why do you feel the need to belittle those who are atheists. Maybe live and let live especially this time of year.

Did I say you questioned it? I just put up an alternate definition for discussion.
Is it wrong? Since no one has figured out how the Universe began, it's impossible to determine, but it does make for a fascinating discussion.
Funny story...Awhile back there was this really cute guy that I had the major hots for. I knew what church he went to up here and decided to show up there to be able to see him (I know, sounds like a stalker huh?). Well anyways, after three times of going, I just couldn't do it anymore. Two problems. One: Clevage. I liked it. A few others ~ not so much. Oh well. Two: He was really into what they were saying and I just couldn't get my mind around it at all. Different strokes for different folks. Good news for him though....he lost his stalker. rofllol

Yes you did say I questioned it. (Highlighted above) I didn't. Just posted a fun post and people sure get defensive!

So you are saying that you couldn't get your mind around the message and he couldn't get a grasp around all of your cleavage?........I can see that....... rofllol
