    Poe is right, it IS hard to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of such extremism.

    ... "formed from the dust of the earth" means from atoms.
    The dust is the DNA inside an ovum of the mother Ape who gave birth to the first man species 7 million years ago.

    Recent genetic evidence shows that two of the 24 chromosomes on apes were fused together on our own 2nd chromosome pair.
    Hence all humans have only 23 chromosomes.
    And the second chromosome pair shows the two ape chromosomes stuck together.

    If there are aliens that have both mastered the art of the afterlife and creation of sentient beings... I highly doubt that they would damn me for all eternity for not believing in them when they left no proof.

    What if they were merely a tool being used by God to create the human species though?

    Evolution is a fact.

    Anyone who disagrees can write their people, submit it for peer review, and collect their Nobel Peace Prize.

    Why go through the effort? Why not just create humans with a snap of fingers?

    Who knows what God has going on in the universe, we certainly do not.

    Are you suggesting that God only has created us and nobody else out there?

    Now you sound like those Christians you complain so much about.

    I am an atheist, so why would I believe that god created us and no one else?

    Our Reality only had to make the first life, and let it then just adapt and change to form all the other species.
    That is very simple and easy.

    You are the one who suggested god... right after you suggested aliens. You must think that you are asking a bunch of tough insightful questions, but I think we have all heard them before.

    Some people say man evolved from the apes. I'm not sure the differences are large enough to affirm evolution.

    An overwhelming number of biologists state that we have a common ancestor with modern monkeys and apes, which there is over whelming evidence to suggest it is true.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Which begs the questions, how often do theists pose new questions that have not already addressed? How many of the said questions do not involve the use of fallacies?

    They don't. It only seems new because they figure out a new word game to play.

    And it all boils down to the same apologetics.

    To affirm man evolved from the apes which has, in turn, been used to affirm evolution. Actually, my remark was just me being snide.

    Oh... well okay. We didn't evolve from apes though. We evolved from a common ancestor.

    The candid truth? I think anyone who buys into biblical creation should be placed in an insane asylum for the safety of those around them.

    Might want to tell creationists that about ID. They keep trying to make it science.

    Intelligent Design seems to rest on the idea of Irreducible Complexity and IC has been shown to be complete hogwash.

    Same here. There are disturbingly large numbers of evangelical crazies in my monkey tree.

    They tend to be good workers, but are intent on trashing the planet, making life miserable for those born same sex oriented, prefer women to be second class citizens,and have no problem killing foreigners.

    There has never been any scientific foundation for intelligent design and there isn't even a scientific theory for intelligent design.
