For me: Science.

And no, "why" and "how is it that..." are not equivalent. Really? Name one "why" question that cannot be converted to "how is it that.."Why would I do that? What is the reason for me doing that? Try again.

You try again... that wasn't, "how it it that..." Changing your tactics and rules in mid stream is not acceptable. If you look back, "Science for the details. Religion for the reasons" was my original post.
Quote: from Forever Angel at 11:48 pm on June 30, 2009 Science for the details. Religion for the reasons. This one. And I'm about done here, you're being extremely dull and it's a little annoying to be honest.
Science for the details. Religion for the reasons.
And the question I was originally responding to was the OP... "Which do you think best answers the questions of how the earth was created?"
You claimed religion explains exactly the reason behind life, whereas science explains the how of it. I claimed your religion does no such thing, as it's not given an actual valid reason for living. Defend your argument or don't, I could care less, I already know you and most other Christians can't grasp the concept of debate.

Quote: from Forever Angel at 4:47 pm on July 3, 2009 Quote: from Aimforthehead at 6:35 pm on July 3, 2009 I didn't ask for how. You claimed biology is how whereas religion is why. If religion has neither, then thereyago. No, that's how. Not why. Man has freewill therefore has the potential to be evil, for what purpose? Why is there evil at all? The bad thing about bad emotions like jealousy is it gets people killed.What does science say about the appendix? Nipples? They are useless. What does science have to say about 'evil'? For the most part, it is subjective. What does science have to say about 'emotions'? So, I'm wondering, are you ever going to answer my question?

What does science have to say about 'evil'?

Religion for the reasons. Misread. Um, The bible doesn't really explain why, it just kind of 'is'. I never caught an ultimate reasoning behind this nonsense.Maybe that's your problem, you read it with the idea that it's "nonsense". Please, if you have any idea why we have appendixes or males have nipples let me know. Or on a deeper matter why evil exists but soon will not exist. Or why god has emotions that even humans see as obviously a bad thing.

Evil exists because man has free will. What is the "bad" thing about emotions?
