Whats the difference between creation and evolution?

May I send the question right back to you? Because I doubt you know the answer either.
Look, there is no god. Reason: I am going with my gut feeling on that.
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

benefit of the doubt? then you ought to give God a chance, right? so why don't you? why isn't there a God, other than "your gut feeling"?
There isn't a god because it doesn't make sense for there to be one. I am an atheist and will not be moved by a monotheist.
Why the heck should I believe in something that doesn't make any sense or can't even be proven? The existence of god doesn't have any evidence. You may say to disprove god doesn't have any evidence either but I'd rather go with what I think on this.

you can't disprove God either. You can only make arguments for, and against, the existance of one. Now please make an argument AGAINST the existance of God.
btw, that's no argument, that's a statement. Please tell me why it makes no sense for there to be a God.
All I will say is it doesn't make sense for there to be one. Why should there be? god is something humans made up to make themselves not be afraid of death.
I'm an agnost, Fez.
And I am an atheist existentialist.

My argument: Why the hell should there be one? Disprove that.

counter-question, no argument.

God and afterlife have nothing to do with eachother. Budhist believe in an afterlife (in the form of another life on earth), but don't believe in a God. (many) Jews don't believe in an afterlife, but do believe in a God. A life after death, and the existance of a God, don't always have something to do with eachother.
And I am an atheist existentialist.
oh really? and I assume you've read the works of Sartre then?

Well pal I don't believe in god. Is there too much more you should know about that/
oh really? and I assume you've read the works of Sartre then?
No I have not. But the works of Camus, yes I have.
Would you stop trying to strike at something as gray as this? You say I should provide arguments when you cannot even provide anything yourself.

Fez : are you a functionalist as well as an atheist existentialist ?
Saint Marcus : could you please explain me precisely what the difference between agnost and atheist is ? I never knew it in detail...

yes. what are your arguments for it?
No I have not.
someone calling himself an existentialist, but hasn't read Sartre.
But the works of Camus, yes I have.
Really. Interesting. Not the most distinguised or difficult philosopher, but it's something. Can you tell me what they are about, in your view.
And I assume you agree with him, calling yourself an existentialist and all. I'm sure you know that Camus was part of the Parisian avant garde leftists for a while, don't you?
You say I should provide arguments when you cannot even provide anything yourself.
Nor can you. But I have an excuse. I'm an agnost, I admit I'm not sure. Yet you claim to be an atheist, but have absolutely no arguments at all why you are one. that's pretty funny.
Fez : are you a functionalist as well as an atheist existentialist ?
I think he's neither. He's just atheist.
Saint Marcus : could you please explain me precisely what the difference between agnost and atheist is ? I never knew it in detail...
An atheist rejects that God(s) exists. He believes there is no God. An agnost is just not sure.
The theory of evolution describes a progress: it makes no statements as to the starting point of the process, nor the ending of it either. As long as you believe that the process evolution describes does occur, and has occured in the past, and will in the future, you are an evolutionist.
Belief in God is unscientific, in the sense that it is impossible, thorugh the scientific method, to come up with any sort of evidence for or against (by these of course we mean experimental or tangible eivdence. Rationalistic arguments aside).
Since beliefe in God is based on faith, it is quite possible to believe in God and the process of evolution.
Personally, I do not believe in God (as pictured in the monotheistic sense, as a single sentient entity), since for me, this is moving the basic question of origins one step back (why can't the universe come out of nothing, but that's fine for God?)
BUt at the same time, I can offer no evidence against the belief in God, so que sera, sera.
