*cough* So what happened then Tinman?

How many religious peoples do we have in here?? (and of them, how many disregard evolution theory because of this?)

Aiya ... I have no interest in debating evolution because I have no issue with evolution being true. I don't see any necessary conflict between evolution and the existence of God. (Yes I have read / am reading Dawkins book.) Many Christians or other religious people are theistic evolutionists (ex. Francis S. Collins, director of the human genome project). So the evolution question is to me a red herring. Is it true? Although there are still IMHO large unanswered questions, and I am by no means a scientist, there seem to be good reasons to believe that it is true insofar as it is a general theory of how things came to be as they are, not as a purely naturalistic theory along the lines of time + matter that somehow exists + strange tenancy for simplistic things to become more complicated + nothing.

FWIW, Dawkins says repeatedly in his book (to the point that it becomes extremely tedious) that evolution is not and cannot be "random" ... he emphasizes that evolution is "guided" (by purely natural processes, of course, he says) through the process of natural selection.

I think I am something of religious,but I don't discard the evolution theory,but i think apes have become from humans,cause we don't have seen apes evolve to humans in like 500 years,right?

Look at this way. Man has been the same genetically for 40,000 years.
So why did it take humanity 34,000 years to get smart enough to start thinking about a written language, organizing into cities, etc?
Breath of life. God gave life (as we know it) to Adam and Eve. Not more simple survival stuff.
It's hard to explain, but yeah.

emmzee - Yeah, i know heaps of Christians who believe the theory of evolution. I was just wondering how many in here didn't believe it because of their religious beliefs.

I wasn't disregarding the fact that Evolution may not have happened...more so disregarding anything that Tinman says. I try not to think about much that happened before life as i know it existed. It makes my head hurt.

Oh. Apes. That reminds me actually...

I found that interesting. Some of you may also find it interesting.

Do we need to know where we came from?
What will it change to know?

Will Iraq be peacefull once we know?
Will cancer suddenly be something from the past?

Evolution, Creation, whatever, it gave us Tinman, and now we're stuck with him.

BTW: PrettyGoodLink, Gamer.

Programming languages are like tools(DUH):

C is a screwdriver.
C++ is a phillips head screw driver.
C# is a screwdriver with a funny head.
Python is a saw.
Perl is a hammer.
Assembly is a rock.
HTML is paper and pencil.
Bash is a lawn mower.

Which tool do you use and why?

What's wrong with you Tinman47?
You totally, but really totally missed the pozidrive.
Moderner than phillips.
Better mechanical screwing handling than phillips.

More reliable.
Phillips is worn-out twice or even trice as fast than pozidrive.
Pozidrive sticks much better on bits than phillips.
Slips much lesser than phillips.

You're a n00b Tinman47.

Yea, too bad nobody these days cares about manipulating atoms

Kind of off topic, but, ARRRRGH, this be an off-topic thread, matey:

dosraider: being a Frenchman, what be yer thinkin' bout France recently stating that they will go to war with Iran should they develop nuclear weapons? It kind of took me by surprise personally, since I'm not used to France taking such aggressive stances...ARRRRGH!
