:o God is Real but Most Organized Religion is a Scam
Based on reason and facts alone, rational people accept the reality that some form of creative intelligence is responsible for producing the universe and the life within it. With the arrival of nanotechnology and microbiology Darwin’s Theory of Evolution has been thoroughly debunked and found to be laughably false.
Prior to the arrival of modern science to undeniably establish the fact that an extremely sophisticated form of intelligence is responsible for establishing and maintaining the universe and all of the life within it, reason and facts, alone, were always enough for any rational person to accept the existence of this creative intelligence or God.

Debunked by who? Kirk Cameron? I must have missed the meeting when the world's scientists got together and made this decision. You know, the meeting where they said, "Hey, all that vaccine technology based on evolutionary science was totally wrong. We're going to stop administering vaccines and stop all current research related bacteria and viruses, as it is based on evolutionary biology."
You do realize that you just saying something doesn't make it true, right?

I'm new here and not sure if bwinwright is making a joke or not, BUT ... just in case he/she isn't ...
The Atheist and/or Darwinian Evolutionist believe that intelligence was not a necessary component in the establishment and maintenance of the universe or any of the life forms within it. The Atheist/Darwinian Evolutionist has now been proven to be in error, scientifically. How so?

"Virtually any example of life you can choose to examine represents engineering technology and complexity of design and operation which simply could not exist without an intelligent producer."
I can remember when I was in college in my anatomy and physiology class we were studying rare diseases. And we found this one disease, I believe it was a bacteria but it may have been viral, that ONLY affects babies. In adults it is a very mild infection. It basically covers them in these horrible painful sores that leave them permanently maimed and disfigured.
I don't understand how anyone can look at that and say, "you know, some intelligent force must have conciously sat down and intentionally created a living creature whose sole purpose is to make babies suffer." That's like something out of a nightmare. I just don't understand how this belief system actually COMFORTS people.

Damn..and I was hoping to read some serious debunking..
I know that typically ID proponents use the bacterial flagellum as the hallmark of a complex system that shouldn't/couldn't have evolved without outside "help". I've seen this refuted however I can't remember how it was done. Not an issue really as i can go look it up.
One ID vs evolution thread I read on another forum had the ID guy using the evolution of the bat's wing as an example. IIRC his whole argument revolved around the AIG site and since i was a little late in the game for that particular thread I never ran that one down. Is the bat wing still used, or was that more of a one off kind on example ?

There's something about the OP that intrigues me. At first it looks like an attempt to demonstrate to godless heathens the error of their ways - and that's fair enough, if that's your gig this is the place to have a go.
But it then veers into organised religions and mainly the Catholic Church secretly controlling the world. It looks like a call to arms for ordinary christians, etc., to rise up against their church authorities. Surely if that's what you want to achieve, then it should be posted on more religious forums?

Really?
:However, while God is Real, organized religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all a scam. Yes, I realize this seems to be an outrageous claim, but it is true whether you like it or not. While the vast majority of people earnestly practicing these religions are good and decent people trying to do the right thing, the leadership now as well as those who started these religions are less than honorable.

Funny, I believe honest, rational analysis leads to exactly the opposite conclusion: There is no god, but religions are generally an honest attempt by people to sort out the questions they have about the universe.
The idea that the leadership positions of all major religions are filled by people who are not believers, but simply exploiting followers, is, in my opinion, the most outrageously unlikely conspiracy theory of them all.

No to all of this. The more scientific discoveries are made the less credibility "intelligent" design seems. Evolution has been proven by the fossil record and the discovery of DNA nad comparing DNA shows that all of earths creatures are related. I personally find creationism laughable because of such things as the talking snake and the absurd idea that all animals were created a the same time. Lions and Raptures together might be interesting but it didn't happen. Believing that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time once in history is laughable or it would be if it wasn't so pathetic.
You say Darwinian evolution is laughable but I feel that the talking snake is laughable. A God who would plant a fruit tree in a garden and then forbid two humans from eating said fruit that didn't know right from wrong and at the same time allowing the walking, talking snake who is Gods enemy live there too is absurdity at its worst. Striding or flying and glib talking to an innocent woman who then cons the man into eating this fruit and then having this god of yours get all bent out of shape about it is odious. God just isn't nice at all. I feel wonderful just knowing I don't have to deal with a diety this idiotic.
Charles darwin was right. His scientific observations tell a great deal about what really happened during the developement of life on earth. Genesis by comparison is a childrens fairy tale. Nope Darwinism wins because thats what happened. get over it.

Based on reason and facts alone, rational people accept the reality that some form of creative intelligence is responsible for producing the universe and the life within it. With the arrival of nanotechnology and microbiology Darwin’s Theory of Evolution has been thoroughly debunked and found to be laughably false.It's unfortunate you are convinced of these proclamations because they are not supportable by evidence. Genetic science confirmed evolution theory beyond what was already confirmed by overwhelming evidence. As for nanotechnology, I fail to see anything there to do with evolution theory.
And god beliefs are irrational in that they rely on no evidence.
Prior to the arrival of modern science to undeniably establish the fact that an extremely sophisticated form of intelligence is responsible for establishing and maintaining the universe and all of the life within it, reason and facts, alone, were always enough for any rational person to accept the existence of this creative intelligence or God.
Virtually any example of life you can choose to examine represents engineering technology and complexity of design and operation which simply could not exist without an intelligent producer. The most basic flaw of Atheism, the denial of a creative intelligence, is the idea that sophisticated and complex forms of order, any form of life you can name, can be produced without an intelligent producer.Not that you might be interested but this hour long scientific research lecture supports the opposite conclusion, life could only have evolved because it is nothing like what an intelligent designer would come have come up with.

Therefore, one can be absolutely sure that an incredibly sophisticated and super complex form of intelligence established and maintains the universe and all the life within it. I call this Super Intelligence God. You may call it whatever you prefer, but be certain of one thing, IT IS REAL.

Wow... Have you ever READ a science article in genetics?
Or just the one or two creationist fantasy ones? Because as has been pointed out repeatedly, modern day genetics not only confirms evolution, it also is a good argument AGAINST any intelligent design, as organisms tend not to be designed too well at a molecular level, especially the more complex multicellular ones like us.
AS many others, I have no clue how nanotechnology plays into this.
And the rant against the catholic church does seem sorta Chick inspired. I find it especially ironic that you claim that both Judaism and the ancestral christianity from which all current branches have risen are false religions, but somehow Jesus was a real divinity. You do know that christianity claims that jesus is linked to the jewish faith right? I'm pretty sure that's a part of the whole gig that's constant troughout the whole of history.
