IF we didnt have religion we wouldnt have the USA.
Hmm, I think if we take the opposite of that opinion, and change the words 'the USA' to 'humanity,' it would make more sense. For people too lazy work it out, here's what I mean in simple terms: Without people actually following religion, religion would not exist. If everyone stopped believing in God, then God would have no power. Sorry if I said that in a way that is a little too rough for theists, but it's the truth...
and the palestinians were kicked out for what reason? religion... no matter what, it can be traced to the conflict, and that cannot be denied.
That is not correct. I believe the Jews (too blunt?) wanted an independant Jewish state (Israel,) so they used the excuse that it was their land thousands of years ago to attack it. I think it was the British that gave them the 'green light' to take over Palestine. I might be looking at the wrong time frame, but I think Britain was in control of Palestine at that time.
First off, thinking that man came out of nothing is messed up! There has been many times when it's been proved that the earth is NOT several millions of years old. The earth is only about 6000yrs old. Dinosaurs were wiped out by a worldwide flood not by some meteor that one can't even prove existed! Animals didn't "evolve" over millions of years, they are all the way they were when created. People didn't "evolve" from monkeys, even though our DNA is CLOSE, its not a match!
I find this really funny, and I find the fact that people are agreeing with this even funnier... no offense.
Please provide evidence that the Earth was PROVEN to be 6,000 years old? Haha...
Dinosaurs were wiped out by a worldwide flood? Hah! Even if I do try to accept that, it still doesn't make any sense. Dinosaurs died out 69 years ago, believing in them would contradict your belief that the Earth is 6,000 years old. Besides, I'm pretty sure, according to the Bible, that Noah was not building his arc while there were dinosaurs roaming around, would they not be a little... distractive?
Yes, our DNA is not a perfect match with the DNA of a monkey (we evolved from apes, by the way
), that's why we have... slight (lol?) differences? But scientists have found fossils that show species that look pretty similar to us, and to apes.
Just to comfort you, we didn't evolve from nothing. I haven't read much about how life originated on Earth, but I think it was lightning striking amino acids (basic blocks of life,) and hence the first bacteria was formed, and they later evolved (see evolution) to more complex forms of life, like human beings.
The fact that when Noah sent off birds and they came back was proof that there wasn't any land to, um, land on.
Birds flew all around Earth? At what? 10 km per hour? Interesting...
And i do believe that as a result of the Flood, you can now find fossilized clams on the top of mountains.
Well, I'm PRETTY sure there are a lot more
reasonable explainations, like for example, sea level decreased?
Do you have any idea how mountains are formed? Yep, you guessed it, tectonic plates, might've been a few clams on each one, huh? And maybe... just maybe, they collided and formed a mountain? A few lucky clams didn't fall off the mountain, and that's how they're there?
Everyone that is saying that the muslims hate Israel for taking their holy land its kind've ludicris. First of all, Jerusalem is the 2nd holiest city in Islam, Mecca being first, and secondly the Arabs are mad because of the way Isreal was established, it was done by kicking the Arabs that had lived there for centuries in Palestine.
Skyla's spell check
I agree with you, though. The Quo'ran said that Jerusalem should be the land of all religions. It's where they can all live in harmony, united. The Jews do not understand that they are welcome to stay in Palestine, without the need for an invasion, and the Palestinians would have welcomed them.
