Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God The debate over creation and evolution
27 of 94

The great "debate" between creation and evolution only exists among laymen.

The premise being, because the 2nd law deems order from chaos an impossibility, the only way life on Earth could've come about is by the will of a higher power.

Non-Christians have about a snowball's chance in Hell of getting into Heaven. Of course the same can be said for Christians, Muslims, Jews, and so on.

10 of 16

Anti-smoking legislation's ineffectiveness has never been established. So why should we allow people to smoke at all? Smokers strain America's health care system almost as much as the obese and those that live a lifestyle of sloth. Through mountains of loosely compiled, anecdotal evidence we've proved that second hand smoke i... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Fear of belief

"Fear of belief"? Is it part of a statement or part of a question? Giving either precedent, we can effectively address "fear" and "belief", as the terms relate to faith in a higher power with an old adage known as Pascal's Wager.Blaise Pascal, an 18th century scientist and mathematician, surmised: to believe in God is an infa...
