Ayaw mong maniwala na Diyos ang gumawa. Ok, I respect that. You can’t question my faith nor dare me to prove that God created all these because there’s no science in it.

Ang problema eh nasa side ka ng science eh. Now, prove the Theory of Evolution. Prove mo?

I was a defender of the Theory of Evolution before, kaya wag mong sabihin na hindi ako nagbabasa.

Wala sa akin ang burden of proof. nasa yo, prove mo?

google it up or scrol back at previous posts.

what changed your mind?

my reply was for city's statement that monkeys are different from apes. im just pointing out that apes/monkeys have very much in common (thats why they are similar in the dictionary) which is not saying they are COMPLETELY the same. its that simple.

if you think my argument is pointless and irrelevant to the discussion you can opt to just ignore it, leave it to the mods to judge that. are you a MOD?

All right, understood.

This is an open forum (to an extent), I can choose which argument I can reply to. I don't have to be a mod to participate in the argument, mind you (which is what I'm doing). I'm sure I'm not breaking any rules, and neither are you.

Your hiding under "God is not a science" will not hold up in this conversation. I'd absolutely LOVE to see you defend your faith in front of buddhists/muslims/whatever. Tell if you are, I'd buy tickets. I'd like to see you get a taste of your own medicine.

You act as if you're the "supreme enlightened" and we are infidels.

Also, how can you say that he (or we) don't believe in God? Belief in God (whichever god, the Christian one included) and the Theory of Evolution are NOT mutually exclusive. Unless of course you take too literally the story of Genesis.

In case I haven't said it every other post in this thread, I'm a Christian. Not a hardcore Christian, but a Christian nonetheless.

Hahahaha.... pinagbibintangan mo na ako nyan ah. nahihilo ako sayo!

Ayos ba taglish ko? hehehehehe...

Ano ba talaga posisyon mo?

Ayun na. hehehehe...

lumalayo na tayo sa Theory na yan.

Prove mo na lang.... heheheheeee...

Wala akong problema sa paniniwala mo City, you have my respect.

Kaso nasa side ka ng Science eh. In that case you have to prove it.

Science eh. Prove it.

Hehehehe... nagmukha akong engot sa tagalog ko ah.

Essentially you're asking me (us) to disprove God, not prove evolution. You're using "God isn't a science, Evolution is, I can't prove God, prove evolution" as a magic shield to all of a sudden make your "arguments" immune to any form of attack.

There's plenty of evidence to suggest such a phenomenon, but at the same time there's a lot of pieces missing in the puzzle. To continue the puzzle analogy, you're building a jigsaw puzzle and from the incomplete puzzle you vaguely see the image of what appears dog. But the missing pieces suggest it "might" not be a dog. The existing pieces however, suggest that more likely than not, it is a dog. This is what the Theory of Evolution is, at the moment. You, being so "knowledgeable" about evolution having been a "defender" of it, should know better (hey, you said so yourself, you should know better!).

I'll try not to be the first guy to swear.

My position is Genesis could simply be a metaphor on how the universe was made. It could entirely be possible that God setup the universe and its natural processes, tweaking it as he went on ("And God said... blah blah"). The universe is one big puzzle left unsolved, and humans have been given the free will to see if he could solve it.

How difficult is it to see where I stand?! RELIGION AND SCIENCE ARE NOT BLACK AND WHITE!

Teka teka teka. mas lalo akong nahilo sayo.

I believe in God pre. Bat naman napunta sa disproving God to, parang ang lakilaki na ng kasalanan ko nyan ah. Life here on Earth evolved according to God's design.

Pumili ka Nag Evolved lang yang mag isa? o Ginawa ng Dyos? Evolution o creationism?

Ano ba talaga ang posisyon mo?

Abay problema mo na yan.

Lumalabo na ng lalo. pumili ka ng isa, wag mong pag haluin. It's either this? or that?

stop being silly coder....you're exposing yourself to the whole community....you have been a defender of the theory and now you ask for proofs?...scientists has offered the proofs of the theory for countless times...it wouldn't be accepted as a theory if there aren't any proofs...

why do you want me to present proofs?..do you need me to reposts all the proofs and waste space and energy? Please save us this energy.

You cannot disprove this theory not unless you present experiments and evidences that the theory is false.

creationism is easily disproved because you won't be able to present any empirical evidences supporting your claim and it's based on faith.

Yan ang pinaniniwalaan ko. Yes, that (kasi sabi mo this or that. Pilosopohan nalang tayo). Malinaw ba sayo? Malinaw naman saking naniniwala ka sa diyos, alang masama dun. Ngayon, kung naniniwala ako dun sa sinabi ko kanina, wala kang magagawa dun. Kung hindi mo maintindihan yun at nahihilo ka parin, pwes mag Paracetamol ka na. Malinaw naman yung sinabi ko. Sigurado ako maraming makakabasa nung post na yun na makakaintindi nun. Kung di mo maintindihan, problema mo na yun.
