I think both should be taught in school, and we as sentient beings should be allowed to choose for ourselves what to believe and respect each other's philosophies. I think the big problem with teaching "both" is that it's not just two options ("God" and "Evolution"). There are literally thousands, if not millions of "alternative theories" of creation and how we came to be and if we taught ALL of them, it'd take the rest of our natural lives to scratch the surface. Case in point: The Flying Spaghetti Monster. I don't believe that school should be teaching these kinds of philosophies as science because, well, it's not science. Science should remain in science class and you can put philosophy in the philosophy class. I agree with you there. I just don't think you should remove philosophy and religion from school. But I agree it would be wrong to teach it as science.

Peace comes from mutual understanding, and I think having a good moral compass is what keeps us from going to war with each other. I'm not going to write too much more in this topic though, I've shared my opinion and that's all I can do. I'm not here to convert anyone or force my views on others.

Yeah, I do. And it's a very good fable too. And really puts into perspective how small we are relative to the universe. But all of us are more than sentient puddles of water and the earth is more than just a hole. Even it's small, and even if we are small too, I still think it's a miracle, and life itself is a miracle.

But that's the thing, it's a belief. It's nothing I can prove. So I cannot call creationism a scientific theory at all. For me the evidence just lies in how everything works like it does, how all the life on earth lives in a symbiosis. I'm a person who doesn't believe in coinscidences or that things do not have a purpose. But all of that is just faith, it's not science at all. I cannot disprove evolution, and I cannot prove creationism. What it comes down to is what I believe.

I actually believe that we aren't the master species or anything or the only species in the universe. I believe God has created all life, yes, but not that we are in the middle of everything. I think the bible we have only tells the story about our world. I don't think it's impossible that God has created similar worlds with different life and with different purpose even. As I said in an earlier post, it's all very incomprehensible anyway.

Calling all strangers, my pigeon is loose.

Is it more arrogant than saying those who believe in God are stupid and ignorant?

Yes, it does. Dirty Gordon strikes hard with magnum force.

One day a small unassuming orb decided to make his way to the bar at town's finest catwalk owned by Chinese people, who had glorious leader. Suddenly, a big nasty oval fell out of a mob spawner floating ominously above two crazy sluts in a car who just started to play Portal. The Chinese leader took a giant dump into the big mouth of a nearby dragon. He then sang like a tonedeaf cheesecake while hanging from the legs of small ornate brusselsprout in a tightly packed basket. After the dinner of the dragon and Chinese leader, they all swam to an island made of turtles connected by poop. The unassuming orb blamed the oval for ripping off all kinds of sweet chocolate cookies, as the copyright of justin bieber killed the pope. He then took a companion cube and walked slowly towards a missile at snail speed. All of this was an evil plan made by some incredibly insidious retard walking away. MIKURU BEAM he shouted out loud while listening to the annoying ramblings caused by a massive outcry from a 10 year old hacker who was a sith lord from a galaxy filled with portals. And everybody lived happily but they had no longer a soul with a very large energy flux, then all kinds of nasty people with pink lightsabers started to roll around, energy fluxes exploding and that created a black hole that sucked the unassuming orb back to the day when everything was governed by dinosaurs. "OH MY GOD!" he yelled and suddendly the dragon also appeared and they both yelled, but that only

I think that's also the key to the success of games like Doom. They are simple. After all, games are entertainment, and games that are hard to play are not entertaining. Go figure.

ELEPHANT!

Then I think you misunderstand religious people greatly. I'm not trying to find a meaning, since through religion I have already found a meaning. Besides, I only spoke for myself. Personally I don't understand the reason to NOT search for a purpose. For me, a life without purpose is unacceptable.

Imperial March! Of course it's the FM theme. XD

I'm more a philosopher than a scientist, I think. I think everyone are subjective to reality and everyone are unique in how they perceive it.

Best game ever made might be a very strong description to use for this...

How can anyone understand something incomprehensible? Even with science we cannot fully comprehend it. There will always be unanswered questions and philosophical issues that science alone cannot give answers to. As far as I'm concerned, science is a good way of explaining how. I just feel that it can never explain why. It's just our tool for understanding how the world works and exploring it. For me, evolution just makes no sense because... it doesn't explain why. It's a scientific theory that explains HOW we ended up as who we are today and HOW species are related to each other. For me, that is not enough.

Everything that took place in the HL1 expansions, all the new monsters and characters, is technically property of Gearbox so I think there would be legal issues if Valve reused those characters without permission.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for him though. It wasn't his fault that he was stupid, he was just programmed that way. In a way you can understand why that would drive him to want to rule the place since everyone called him stupid and he wanted to show them just what he could do. But yes, as a character he was unforgetable.
