do not trust the religious as most are wolves in sheeps clothing but in the case of muslims they are wolves outright so how can they be trusted moreso?

You got me joomyo . Know one knows , which is why John Macarthur can sell some people a line. Mr Sticky my interpretation of the word Fundamentalist would be someone who sees no room for metaphor or allegory in the Bible and takes everything literally. The Garden of Eden had flower beds and a compost heap , complete with a talking serpent. Noah really pulled of an incredible feat of Marine Engineering and fedex`d some Kangaroos over from Australia. "Faith" does not mean taking a simpleton view

but why do scientists exist? they are researchers who ceaselessly find laws and facts about nature and how things work. For all of time, as we know it, scientists have been trying to get their minds around how things work. but really, they have never concluded their work. there is just so many things to observe and learn and discover. So how can that be? that a world "evolved" from nothing, not created, can be so immense and unmeasurable?

If ur definition of fundamentalist is that u believe in Jesus's death and resurrection to save us from our sins then a good portion of the list would b "fundamentalist".Ill leave you with a quote from Max Planck,a Christian and the father of quantum physics:Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words:'Ye must have faith.'It is a quality which the scientist cannot dispense with.

So , I think the bet (which is a pint of Guinness by the way ) is mine.You may drink it for me. I have to go to Italy for a week now so CIAO and happy Xmas all you Christians

On the list of the 30 Nobel laureates for science, how many are fundamentalists? The first one listed is Einstein who definitely was not andis often misquoted by people who have a religious agenda in order to try and support their ideas with scientific credibility. I bet if you ask All of those people they would say the Earth is 4.5 Billion years old. I am not suggesting that no scientist believes in a creator , but 99.9of them will tell you that Adam and Eve is a story .

Well your bet enforces my view that you should not be betting on things (such as God not existing), because you most definitely lose this bet on the nobel prize winners. (triple w)(dot)adherents(dot)com(slash)people(slash)100(underscore)Nobel(dot)htmlMake sure you spell "Nobel" with a capital N.Touche on the shopping point.

I will bet you can count on the fingers of one hand the number of Nobel prize winning scientists who share you fundamentalist view.You find me an eminent geologist who believes the world is 3 minutes old , or whatever claptrap goes on in Macarthurland. Or a top paleontologist who thinks dinosaurs coexisted with man. yeah right! ps All religions were made up by men , except shopping , which was created by women.

Al Gore and Paul Krugman are also nobel prize winners. Doesn't say much. There are tens of thousands of Bible believing scientists, and many of the most famous scientists in history believed in the God of the Bible. Many religions were made up by man, I believe Christianity is the most convincing example of one that was not.You cannot ignore the prophecy and so many other examples I've already said that point to its validity.Your arguments are not even close to convincing (don't mean to be rude)

According to me , ( and most of the nobel prize winning biologists , who you dismiss in such a cavalier way in favour of people like Macarthur who has 1% of their brains) God didn`t make Adam. Adam is mythical character in a book and God is a concept Mankind invented to explain gaps in Human Knowledge. There are thousands of them in Human Culture. You just happen to believe in one of them.I dont believe God created the world is my answer to your "Theory". I thought that was obvious?
