"I don't think we're here for anything, we're just products of evolution. You can say 'Gee, your life must be pretty bleak if you don't think there's a purpose' but I'm anticipating a good lunch."

-Dr. James Watson, American biologist, (Discoverer of DNA)

"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma."

Indeed.. I love Einstein:) Here's some better qoutes from him "I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religion than it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.""I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty."

guard,
not sure why you felt the need to post this here AND in my personal message account.

But as I pointed out to you in private, Einstein was anything but religious.
And besides, what's your point? I've stated numerous times that many great scientists are theists.

I fail to see what you people hope to acheive by listing a few well-known scientists who you claim believed in a god. Bear in mind that when those men lived, openly denying god would probably have resulted in unemployement, due to a pious society. Einstien did NOT believe in god, at least not one who is conscious and maintains relationships with it's creations. "I do not believe in a personal God" he said, "and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly".

"who do you think made this earth and the billion people that live on it"

Ah yes, the good old argument from ignorance. Why do you think god is an answer to your question?

"the bible is 100% true"

That's a spectacularly ambitious claim. Very few religionists these days would say that the bible is 100% true. Sadly, you're all wrong. The bible is an interesting historical document, nothing more. It's demonstrably not the word of a god. You demean yourself with your bold, baseless claims.

I wish the world to be free of all the hate spreading and vile religions of the world. Rationalists are growing stronger in numbers, which gives me some hope for the future leaders of the world...
