[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2697417, member: 711"] Whatever the "big bang" may have been, you can be pretty sure it wasn't an exploding star. Why does complexity prove the hand of God? There are other feasible ways to explain a lot of stuff, you just haven't looked enough. We are similar to apes, but probably just descended from a common ancestor. Similarity to pigs is, in genetic terms, less. We are also similar in many ways to the three toed sloth (my totem animal!) and to every form of animal life on the planet. Carbon dating has been extensively debunked by magical thinkers. Amount of radiation has nothing to do with decay rates, whether it's a lot or a little bit of radiation. Unfortunately, your post is like many. You want to show that science either backs up your view of reality, or that it is a complete hoax. If your faith is strong, science should not threaten it. If it isn't strong, no amount of railing against science will save it. The two are different. Faith, real faith, doesn't need it, and is not threatened by it. [/QUOTE]
