    Other solutions such as not getting raped?

    There are in some instances other solutions such as good sex ed. Not Christianity's forte.

    My greatest fear is being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. If that's the case I'm booking my self into Dignitas.

    Although, I can stop by @DarthDimi's place. Any good euthanasia clinics near you old boy? That'd be a great send off. Having a few beers with Dimi then off to "the Clinic" to say goodbye to this mortal world,
    Absolutely. There are worse ways of going than a few Leffes and a bit of banter about Bond and what a load of bollocks religion is.

    Plus if the billion to one chance happens and it turns out it was all true it might be a laugh to rock up at the pearly gates half cut.

    You still talking about Alzheimer's now or have you converted to religion?

    I was talking about Alzheimer's, but that was rather vague, wasn't it?

    Yeah you have to be careful bandying the phrase ‘live like a zombie’ about in a religion thread given that we’re talking about people who follow a zombie and exhibit zombie like thought processes.

    I just feel we should look at other solutions

    Seriously if it was scientifically possible to remove a fetus from a woman who doesn’t want it to one who does I challenge anyone to find the issue with that everyone is happy
    You’re still running with this are you?

    So when the transplanted foetus doesn’t take and dies is it just the original mother who gets done for murder? The original mother and the surrogate?

    So by your logic murder should be legal after all shouldn’t we consider it Darwinian to see who would survive the most dangerous game?

    Sharia is the one stop shop for all this:
    Death penalty
    Animal slaughter
    Women having no rights

    Something that I was thinking about watching The Atheist Experience: shouldn't the God the theists believe here on this thread ask their God in prayers to reveal himself to us fellow heathens or give to the theists the right arguments to convince us? Forget the moral, forget the utter incompetence of the Church when it comes to sexuality, biology or sexual education. Shouldn't God know exactly what it would take to convince us of his existence?

    I could say something similar about evolution but I digress I find it more interesting how hard people’s hearts are and how angry they seem to be at a simple Carpenter from Nazerth

    Evolution unlike God has been observed and demonstrated... And exists whether you understand it or not and whether you like it or not.

    Given your assumption you understand jack about evolution. Humans are social animals capable of empathy, preserving the species and the well being of its members are essential. That's why murder is wrong.

    I'm not angry at this hypothetical Jesus, although the cult leader depicted in the Bible often comes off as a lunatic and an unpleasant man. But I'm not angry at him. His followers on the other hand often make me angry, but for very good reasons.

    So if you were in a museum, and there was a skull of Cro Magnon man there, what would you think it was?

    These scientists also state they're not advocating the theory intelligent design either. So your link doesn't really back up your argument for a 'god', does it?
    But back to my question. If you were to see a skull of Cro Magnon man in a museum, would you refuse to believe it was an earlier version of human? And if so, what would you think it was?

    More links? Not exactly unbiased or reliable either. And you could find 500 scientists around the world against that wouldn't change the vast amount of evidence for it... Or prove God.

    Also you do understand (or do you @Risico007 ?)that most Christian churches now accept evolution as a fact. The Catholic Church for instance (yes the one that made up or came up with the Turin Shroud you are so keen about). Even they know that ship has sailed! I don't what denomination of Christianity you belong to but for your education atheism and the theory of evolution are two different things. There were atheists before Darwin.

    Do you even bother reading the articles on the links you send? Or does God tells you to send them? This is box standard cryptozoological hoax. If Bigfoot doesn't exist it changes nothing to the theory of Evolution.

    I was just musing on DNA and it’s role in evolution and stumbled across this gem of an article which seems pretty conclusive:

    Did pasta come before DNA?

    I was always taught the first pasta crawled out of the sea circa 5 million BC (Before Cannelloni).

    But then you look at the amazing shapes and wonder how they could form without an intelligent designer so that’s what brought me to believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

    I mean how could evolution create something as complex as penne or farfalle?

    I will ask you the same question I asked before: what claims regarding the Flying Spaghetti Monster are silly?
