[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 1192061, member: 17605"] A few things...the divorce rate is the same. Who knew, but people who attend church are human. And the other is the point orangputeh was making about separation of God from schools has little to do with religion and everything to do with common morality. All major religions share common morality...actually...check that, all of mankind share a common morality. We may differ on death, violence, and speech but no one likes a thief, no one likes being lied to and murder is wrong on lots of fronts. Is religion the reason for these moral opinions? No...these opinions are shared by people of varying faiths or lack thereof. Is it a genetic thing? Maybe...but I don't think so. Lying has nothing to do with survival of the fittest so it didn't come from an evolutionary need. While I have a general disdain for religion because of the sheeple it creates, I do believe God exists because evidence points towards it. Of course, being a logical thinking creature, I have to allow that someday indisputable evidence will show up that will throw God right out the window but current evidence has been routinely disproved or has giant holes in it. And they haven't even been disproved by the churches, but by scientists and chemists in the same fields of study with the same athiestic or agnostic views. It's really quite wonderful. I love science...I even love evolution. But macro evolution has been pretty disappointing in it's fossil discoveries and micro evolution doesn't in any way disprove God since it's evolution within a form and I'd like to think that all species are in a state of constant improvement. I think science and chemisty describes the story of the universe quite well but so far hasn't been able to be the story writer. [/QUOTE]
