Bottom line is that neither view can be proven or disproven by thought arguments. So pick your God, either from an old book, or from swooping arrows on a Scholastic evolution poster. Dinosaur -> SWOOPING ARROW -> Bird !... Monkey -> SWOOPING ARROW -> Man !
Choose wisely.
Can somebody please post a picture of a Swooping Arrow like used on evolution posters? Isn't that a divine image indeed? How about if we could show a picture of Darwin on a cross with a crown of Swooping Arrows and nailed to the cross with swooping arrows? Can I get a government grant or something for that?
Funny, I don't see the utter hopelessness or pointlessness of existence. There have been men who have loved life and died happy long before Jesus stepped foot on Earth.

"Pastor Gino Geraci, whose church was just three blocks from Columbine and who had the opportunity, as a police chaplain, to be at the scene while the killing rampage unfolded, ..... recounted the conversation he had with a high-ranking official in the Columbine school district right after the shooting had stopped.
Weeping, this educator asked Pastor Geraci why such a tragedy could happen.
Gino had to tell him that his schools “have taught our children that they come from nowhere, and that is where they’re going, and that life is a point of pain in a meaningless existence. And they believed you.”"
People on both sides of these threads are amongst the biggest idiots on the Internet.
Here goes another Flame war!
***That was why I went to the trouble of getting the scientism tag accepted as an ecumenical tag under the religious moderator’s guidelines, so that we could all have more polite discussion. So far, the only folks who’ve been asked to leave such threads by the moderator have all been evolutionists.
