xD Barrack Obama as the anti-Christ. I had a good giggle at that. Really, all politicians could be considered anti-Christs. "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" As for natural disasters, they happen all the time. I think it was said that China was due another big earthquake anyway. It would take something supernatural to show anything even slightly religious and the term "supernatural" means outside of nature meaning impossible. Don't hold your breath =]
Just no. Posts like this have no place in this section, or even in the Intelligent Discussion sub-forum. If you have evidence, be prepared to give it and have it put under critical scrutiny. If not, don't bother posting. Technically, evolution states that all life on earth started with extremely simple organisms which used carbon dioxide and methane etc in the primordial oceans to produce oxygen and to gain energy for them to live. Over time, errors in how the cells that made them up came together occurred. Some were beneficial making them reproduce faster while others hampered their growth and they then died out. Admittedly there are gaps in our knowledge, some of them rather large (such as how the simple cells that made up the original organisms turned into the more complex cells we have today with such structures as the nucleus and the mitochondria and also the leap to sentience). But, what creationists seem to do is have a "God of Gaps". They try to fill any gap in scientific knowledge with God, offering no reasoning or evidence or even a slight bit of thought. Luckily, science is filling in the gaps, and leaving God with nowhere to hide and nothing to do. =]

No reason >_> *sigh*
I've always wondered, is ignorance really such bliss?
Oh, so the magic sky-fairy is yours? *phew* I was embarassed to think it originated in Europe >.>
Actually, the reason the film is as it is is because the producers wanted people to go see it. They would rather take away from the true meaning and strength of the books than lose profit. Hence why I always read the book before I see the film. Religious people have every right to complain, they can picket all they want outside the cinemas. But then in turn I should be allowed to call the Bible a collection of fanciful fairy tails with very little to do with reality. A myth if you will. If I said that I would probably get torn apart, fair ain't it?
Another point I thought of is cost. Surely this kind of pre-birth gene therapy will cost quite a lot. If this was put into widespread use we could end up with a two-tier society. The children of parents who are rich enough to have their children born smart and strong and good looking while the other people who don't have enough money to do these things will end up "lesser beings". Wealth should not come into evolution, but this could end up making it a factor. If only those rich enough for this therapy can get it, then the rest will continue to get sick and die off. Modern day natural selection >_>
This joke is a complete falsity No American has that level of humour >: GOD SAVE THE QUEEN D:
How many girls (or guys I suppose) on this forum have ever actually worn a corset? >_>
We should have a referendum on this........

We shouldn't be able to meddle in God's design and God would know at the beginning that we would reach stage if he (I use he as it is the traditional pronoun, not as any indication of God's gender) was actually God. But anyway, I believe that genetic modification before birth is appropriate when there is a medical reason. Many modern conditions and diseases (a disease being incurable, an illness being curable) are caused by genetic defects. This means that they could be eradicated improving the lives of millions. However, when it is used to produce children with certain hair or eye colours or (which will probably happen the most often) the sex of the child, a line has to be drawn. These are atheistic changes and children will just become another product.
Chocolate followed by crisps. It makes them taste creamy :3
