"The Bible is fiction."

The bible was written a long time ago and was used as a way of controlling people. Ordinary people were scared of this thing known as God because they did not understand death. We still do not understand death but at least we understand life a little better.
God was used to explain the unexplainable but now we understand some of the unexplainable. We no longer need God like our ancesters. All we need is hope...
Human nature is destruction and the only thing that we should hope for is that we do not destroy the beautiful planet on which we live. We do not deserve the gifts we have but maybe one day we will be truely gateful for them...

Well where did the world come from in your eyes FF? I like the idea of not knowing what happened to begin with and not happening when it all ends. Where's the fun with sticking to a pattern and having you past, present and future being wrote out before you've lived your life?

An explosion (which usually kills life) creating life, some logic...

Yes, dinosaurs and humans living happily together. Doesn't come more logical than that.

In your eyes, yes.
And a lot of people see it the other way around, too.

So that's that.
End of discussion.

Hoorah!

I accept that what I believe - though I believe it as fact, comes down to a theory, but a much, much more logical theory than the one of evolution.

Oops. I posted my answers in the wrong thread. See the "Are you born gay" thread for what I brought up here. Sorry for the mistake, but I'm not reposting it here. As I said, I don't want to get caught spamming.

Apparently lots of things e.g. God, creation etc. Remember - apparently.

What's the point in adding this to the post, all you had to do was locate it, no more was required.

Anyway apparantly these ice cores date back 120,000. Remember, apparantly.

These ice cores, the post ends in a question, I'd guess that's what he was referring to, no?

What about the 'ice cores'?
