If an enyzme is mutated, it won't work, which means the cell will die. Not if the mutation happens to be beneficial to the organism. Which is extremely rare (so rare that I dont think they have any evidence of it actually happening) however given an infinite amount of time, anything is possible. I'...

I wonder if any of the major news networks will cover the election of the new Pope. I read that Angels and Demons book by Dan Brown and since have had an interest in the ceremony.

Another thing that makes me begin doubt religion is the idea that Religious people use God to fill in the gaps of their understanding. This is not just with Christianity but with EVERY religion. E.g: Ancient Civillisations' worshipped the Sun because they thought it was a God, however now we know th...

his ambiguous forms are more of a distraction, to "filter" out the unworthy...sort of I struggle with this concept. If God loves us all equally then why would he deny his love and acceptance to those whom are skeptical? Is it fair for God to deny love to certain individuals out there whom...

Why not PROVE his existence?

Hey I'm reading this book called Contact by Carl Sagan which was recently made into a movie and it's got some pretty good Pro-Atheism arguments in that had a profound effect on me. I will briefly list them for a counter argument as Sagan doesn't seem to adequately give one. If God is omnipresent and...

hahaha, looks like my idea is not as original as I thought it was. I would love to watch it, tracking it down is going to be difficult though.

Jesus: The Ass-Kicker

Hey I was doing some thinking the other night and I came up with a movie idea that nobody has thought of and that everyone wants to see (except on South Park in animated form) Jesus kicking ass with a Samurai Sword and huge weapons. Of course to fit in snuggly with the Christian audience he would on...

Or is it quite possibly the other way around? That is a question that I for one have-could a person who hears voices really be hearing demons talk to him? The demons would drive the person crazy (after Jesus removed demons from one man, they possessed a heard of pigs, who quickly drowned themselves...

Ah I smell another debate coming on... 1) Prophecies say God would be born of a virgin....which Mary was There is no evidence of this except from the Biblical perspective. For all we know, Mary could have lied... I know it goes against Christianity, and that Mary's virginity is a main argument to yo...

The Holy Grail

Hey I bought a book callled 'The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail' it suggests that the Holy Grail is actually Mary Magdalene and that she carried the Jesus blood line. I know this is a subject of much controversy, especially amongst the christian crowd. I'm not saying that the Holy Grail IS Mary Magda...

I think the Adam and Eve story is more metaphorical, in that I dont think women was created out of man Im pretty sure that they came to this Earth (however that was) equally.

Really that's what I want you to understand. That when it all comes down, what you're asking Christians to do is to willingly reject a part of the Bible on the grounds that society knows better. Yeah and I'm realising that we will probably never agree with each other. In fact I'm realising that liv...

why would you consider homosexuality to be something ... normal and healthy? Okay I think that there is some misunderstanding regarding my stance on homosexuality. Whilst I defend it I do admit that homosexuality is unnatural. There I said! HOMOSEXUALITY IS UNNATURAL! The way in which the body is d...
