I'll start by saying I am undecided on this issue and have been back in forth with my opinion many times. With that said nobody can prove or disprove the existence of God. That is why it is called faith. Even if you choose to believe in God your just getting started because now you have to sort through all the mess man has created around the subject to figure out which God it is.
Mike intelligently stated his opinion and facts. To simply scoff at him and call him an idiot shows a lack of ability to think for yourself.
As far as religious people being uneducated... that makes me laugh! History shows that the institutionally "educated" people of today will become the biggest fools of tomorrow. Beliefs and science are constantly changing based on what concepts human beings can wrap their little minds around.
I find it funny that so many people find it so impossible to believe that there is a higher power that created life and the universe itself but they can believe that it all happened on accident over billions of years of chemical reactions... but wait where do those chemicals come from to begin with??? What came first the chicken or the egg??? The ROCK of course!!! Evolution is a theory with many many leaks. I find theories of a creator to be much more believable.
People as a species would do better if they started thinking for themselves instead of relying on media and institutions to "educate" them and brain wash them with clouded opinions in the process.
For example here is something to think about for yourself and I'm sure there will be plenty of scoffers at this comment. Do you really believe that people had the technology to go to the moon in the 1960's? Before the VCR, cell phones, PCs or the cassette tape? If you really believe that then surely with all the technological advances it should be 1000 times easier to reach the moon now! So why the fuck have we not felt the need or desire to go back in the last 50 years? I mean by now we should be able to take weekend trips there right???
Mainstream thinking is often false information. The world today is controlled by media and it influences the way EVERYBODY thinks. In the history of the world people have never been so utterly controlled as we are today. Our thoughts, our actions... even whether or not we can PLAY A GAME OF FUCKING CARDS ON THE INTERNET! But to a degree we all accept and embrace this out of comfort and security so it is our own damn faults! But for fuck sake people don't mock someone who has developed their own opinion, intelligently states it and has the BALLS to do so knowing he will be mocked! You will learn far more from listening to such people than you ever will from an institutional learning center.
