Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
Does a God of ANY KIND exist?

Of course, my dearest. But the wedding must be held in a lab, preferably in Zurich. <3
Oh, and I guess creationists will come around to say 'proof that creationism is real? LOOK ALL AROUND YOU ITS ALL CREATIONISM lolowned so bad B)' or similar bullshit.

Fatality.
Haha... This is funny. Wanna know why?
Because Creationism has been losing completely in this topic, so rather than construct a more elaborate argument, half of your post consists of you saying "YOU'RE OFF TOPIC". Ironic it's at one of the people who is actively fighting against the idea of Creationism.
Lulz at you believing a bunch of desert scrolls written by a bunch of old men from thousands of years ago, then edited beyond context by more old men.

Really, iphillip1, may you please explain why something is true purely because it is written in a book?

If you want, it can be said that we can't even prove that the world itself exists. So if God or evolution are true doesn't really matter because we'd be debating if imaginary stories in an illusion exist.

Also, why can't you just let people believe what they want to believe? As long as they're not trying to shove it down your throat and make you believe it too, what's the harm? Parts of science is theory built upon theory.

I'm not saying creationism is likely either, I've already learnt how God itself is contradictory and how holy books are written by man, so are subject to their intreperation and blah blah blah. I'm just a bit sick and tired of seeing the atheists trash talk the religious and the theists try to convince others and save their souls.

Doesn't the devil's advocate generally have to provide a somewhat passable argument?

gravity is a theory
magnetism is a theory
the whole of fucking science is a goddamn theory
that doesn't mean it's not relevant. it's an accepted theory because it fits the model and behaviour of the world around us.
that's a lot better than a theory that says Goddidit which leaves you with 100 more questions to answer instead of like 10

Ah, but religion probes into questions about what happens after death, how we came to be etc. Not forgetting that it's mostly thought that the biblical stories are metaphors, so it's not a case of "SEVEN DAYS = WORLD!". It could be that God started evolution. *shrugs*
But ultimately, I say this about both science and religion:
So everyone here is pretty cute! ^_^

No it doesn't. It says "God takes you to the afterlife." -end
oh the argument that the bible is true because IT'S ALL METAPHORICAL AND YOU NEED TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES. Basically what this means is: "Look, we have an argument, it sucks and is outdated, let's twist their words so that we can have a religious version that is semi-relevant and these days and still suffers from the same flaws, but now it looks good"
Religion + marketing. Fuck that.
+10 for quoting xkcd though.

You just lost The Game.
Well if some random Internet-tough-guy disprove all of religion, it wouldn't exist.

You can't actually disprove (or prove) religion. It's just a silly notion to believe in and a sillier notion to base any ideas on. It doesn't allow for any proper explanations, no feedback, no leeway to backtrack when you're wrong. The only thing you get from having such a set in stone worldview is contradictions when it's opposed and has to be adapted.
