It is one of the most anti-empirical assertions I have seen made in a long time.
Evolution of the gaps. Give us enough time, we'll prove it.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

With a little magic, I mean science, anything is possible... :P

Don't you just love philosophy? I mean science... Sorry. I keep mixing up those two words. Darn.. :doh:

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. -Philippians 4:8

Indeed, and it never seems to get old. That this nonsense still gets spouted is a fine feat.

I wish I had as much faith as those who believe science, which is simply a very efficient tool for analyzing nature, proves "time + natural selection + random mutation" can result in the myriad of life forms that the fossil record indicates have existed.

Facepalm at all of you, at this whole board. Do half you actually read the stuff you criticise or are you happy just to live in ignorance? I am guessing the latter. Religion FTW! lets close our eyes and hope factual reality goes away!

Wow, what an unsubstantiated rant. Lol. Would you like to contribute?

Think about whether the same applies to you.

P.S. I'm glad that the moderators allowed this post, so that we can observe a typical atheist troll in action. However, I suggest ignoring him until he produces a debatable claim, aside from the usual unsubstantiated rant. Thank you.
