Wtf does perpetual motion have to do with creationism?

Also, so you truly believe that dinosaur fossils were planted in the earth for humans to discover? You believe that oil was placed there as well and has nothing to do with previously decomposed plant matter? Why is there a series of defunct volcanoes stretching northwest from the Hawaiian chain? To trick us?

A concept based completely on "faith" rather than fact? You're right, of course it holds up to scrutiny.

It's almost as bad as the "What does salt taste like?" argument.

i hope you realize most catholics believe in religion
I can't even decide between which interpretation I am to make of what you meant by that statement.

shit i'm sorry, i meant to say most catholics believe in evolution

that's what happens when you post on bf2s while doing homework

No but seriously, I don't understand how a bing bang makes sense. "So first, we had nothing and that nothing MAGICALLY evolved from a little cell to 6 billion humans, a motherfreaking huge earth with diverse and complex ecosystems and weather.

All this from nothing...

sure

From a non-religious point of view, it makes more sense that it was somehow created by somebody or something than it just magically materializing.

lol nothing -> something

makes perfect sense

Well, get some popcorn lads and enjoy the laugh.

Here's what I think. God made the universe with age. Just like he made Adam and Eve with age as opposed to two dumb babies drooling in the Garden of Eden. I won't get into details for two reasons: I don't want you to have a heart-attack from laughing too hard, and I cba to write a huge wall of text you could find by googling it.

I'm just wondering what your guys' opinion is on what I mentioned earlier. What makes more sense, that nothing suddenly creates an infinite universe with complex lifeforms, or somebody creates it? I totally understand that it sounds completely retarded that some guy has been around since forever and created us all.

I still stand by my guns on the evolution ideas though. If everything slowly degrades there's no freaking way that after reproducing the same crap thousands of times your slowly start getting a better version of the previous one. Makes zero freaking sense.

Well what about breeding dogs?

They started as wolves when first domesticated. Now look at the dog breeds man has created with selective breeding.

How can you resolve that with what you've just stated?

Just how I was raised anyway. I don't really mind, it's not like Biblical doctrine will make you a lesser person. Quite the contrary, nothing in there is gonna do anything but make you a kinder person.

Anyway, the wolf thing is a good point. I'll have to look into that.

look into some biology classes. mutations + natural selection, it makes sense. there are clear signs in the world that prove evolution is unquestionably true

I still haven't seen anything in the Bible, other than the concept of God, "Proven" false. Everything just connects! There are so many explanations for the reason the Earth is the way it is now in the Bible.

Here a funny question. Why did Adam live 900+ years? Earth was different, and things that took "Billions of years" to make like the Grand Canyon happened in no time when you get a bigass flood that wipes everything out. That also explains why we have oil now, and why we have the oceans we have, etc.

I go to Wednesday night Bible study and we learn some pretty cool stuffed that's backed-up. I just never take notes I record all the studies though, maybe I should put 'em on youtube.

Annnnyway...

Just don't be so touchy, everybody bashes Christians but I rarely see Muslims or other religions bashed as hard. I think it's a post-Catholic world domination shitty feeling everybody in the Western Hemisphere has.

If God created the world for humans, why is it that of all the water on Earth, 70% is salt water?
