I see holes in Christianity, and holes in scientific reasoning, that I fill with an omnipotent being. You could say that I am dead wrong, but really, would it matter if I was? If the omnipotent being wasn't real, then why would it matter if I believed he was?
What holes in scientific reasoning?
Just like Christians and the Rapture. Just because it hasn't been proven yet, doesn't mean it isn't true!
But it has no need to exist so there has to be proof before it is accepted as an idea.

So are you saying deism is nothing more then a god of the gaps fallacy?
You people try so hard to destroy what others hold as true.
All theories in science has had to face similar scrutiny.
Anyway, what is destroying my personal belief going to do to you in the days end?
It will be one less person perpetuating unfounded beliefs.
It may seem slightly nihilistic, but does anything you say on this website truly matter?
If I can learn something through the discussion, then it's mattered. If some third party was effected, then it mattered. If by some small way I get through to the other person and change there mind, then it mattered.
I have been reading a book that suggests that evolution might have taken place in the center of the earth,(this goes along with the "hollow earth" theory) but the only way I could believe that anything actually "evolved" or not is real evidence. Many scientists have stated that the dinosaurs were around long before man's time, but when the dinos were wiped out, wouldn't evolution have to start from scratch to fill in that giant gap?

....Lolwut?
The earth' was never hallow, and not all life was destroyed with the dinosaurs. They involved into modern animals, along with the non-dinosaur creatures such as fish and the primitive mammals, depending on what time period you are speaking of.

No, the extinction of the dinosaurs did not affected or killed as many species as you would think. Many small mammals, reptiles, insects, seeds and small plants survived. Oh, and so did some birds.
So what your saying is somehowonly the biggest things were wiped out? How?
The ice age, for the most part, wiped out the dinosaurs as you know them. Large, cold blooded animals where unsuitable for a frozen tundra with little food. Mammals, like us, and other warmblooded animals had a much better chance of survival and became the more frequent species.
So what your saying is somehowonly the biggest things were wiped out? How?
How not? It's very simple. Small things do not need a lot of food or space to survive. Insects basically easily survived outside the impact spot. There is a way to explain this survival: if you drop an insect from a hight that is 100x bigger then its own size, it will still survive, but if you do the same thing but with a human, that human will die. So yea, I'm not too sure what causes this, but most of the survival of the insects is due to that, whatever it is.
It's likely some small dinosaurs survived evolving into birds.
So what your saying is somehowonly the biggest things were wiped out? How?
Sometimes being small and capable of faster reproduction can be a benefit to a species survivability. For instance the large species would require far more food to survive. In an environment where food becomes scarce being able to live off very little gives you a better chance of surviving. Once those large animals died out it left ecological niches to fill that those smaller animals could evolve and take over those niches.
So what your saying is somehowonly the biggest things were wiped out? How?
Not only the big things, but if you look around, there are far more tiny creatures than larger creatures. This is because of how the food pyramid works. Each time you go up a level, 10% more energy is lost. I'm sure plenty of smaller creatures that were unable to adapt/survive died out. There have been many mass extinctions, many caused a vast majority of the seas population to die out each time.
So you're religious out of fear, how lovely, you've fallen for one of the main tactics of most religions - scare people into believing.
i didn't say iwas scared into believing it but the way that my dad reassures me and explains the story to me just creeps me. also, have you heard people read the quran? if you have, you will know why I am a muslim.
