Well said Clare, This whole debate exists only to satisfy everybody's vanity. Everybody arguing on this thread has a proud and condescending attitude, and they are all right in their own minds. Good for them. I challenge all of you to prove your beliefs beyond a possible doubt. Not a single one of you can do it (I can't either), so just give it up. Don't give me crap about carbon dating or theories, none of this "faith" stuff either.
To "Christians": Hey, if you tell people about the bible and they don't accept it, you are not bloodguilty in God's eyes, as they are no longer ignorant of the consequences of failure to obey him.
To atheists (or whatever you call yourselves) : I don't see why you push your theories, because according to them, there is no God and therefore it makes no difference what you believe.
If it's your thing to waste countless hours of your own and other's time, go ahead, continue to debate. I just hope none of you are serious when you post your trash. Futility!!!
