<p><p><p><p><p><p>The bible does have plenty of things that ARE true, and do help people believe in it:</p></p></p></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><p><p><p>-It is historically accurate.</p></p></p></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><p><p><p>-It referred to the earth as a sphere in the time when people thought the earth was flat.</p></p></p></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><p><p><p>-It is perfectly logical assuming you can believe the first sentence (In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth).</p></p></p></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><p><p><p>-It is the best selling book of all time.</p></p></p></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><p><p><p>-It was written by about 40 different authors across 3 continents over a period of at least 200 years, and the story is consistant.</p></p></p></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><p><p><p>-There are no legitimate contradictions (there may appear be some, but a closer look will prove otherwise).</p></p></p></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><p><p><p>What does the big bang theory/evolution have? Speculation...</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Exactly my point. And to be honest, the research and scientific evidence isn't there to prove or disprove either theory. Until we have that, people need to not get their panties in a wadd and be jerks to eachother. Immature fights over details are part of the reason I'm largely cynical towards people. [ Don't get me started on my views of the world. It's a dark and depressing place in my mind. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png" alt=":P" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ]</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Athiests don't believe in God, and rely on the theory of evolution to explain how we were formed. Christians believe in God and most think evolution is blasphemous, which may be true according to what some athiests say. However, some parts of evolution can coincide with what God has done (like natural selection).</p></p></p></p></p></p>

My bone with Apple: They control everything about their users. Their kinda like a greedy politician. They sell you a decent product. okay. But then they release an update, on a new product. ... okay ... You can't get this update without the entire new product. ... sell my current product? Yeah, let's try that ... [ nobody wants -- it's now old ] Okay...maybe I can fork over another arm and leg for the new updates... nope, not gonna work. [ later ] oh hey, that app looks cool! What? I can't install it? WHY NOT ?! ... oh. It requires the new update for me to use it. My bone with Microsoft: They try ( and fail ) at doing what Apple does. For example, their PE file format is the only thing that keeps us from being able to run versions of Office on other OS's without a special package or release. Also -- their .NET thing is bullcrap. They want to sell you specialized hardware that makes .NET run faster than native processor code. Their Windows 8 release is also slightly controlling in my experience ( However, Microsoft did do a better job, and made me not mind them having control for once because they designed a product worth using in this instance ). It removed my boot entry for WindowsXP, and made it near impossible to install Ubuntu ( what I am running now ). It also kind of forces you to use Windows live or Hotmail. Mac-Hardware: Don't get it. You're just buying a label most of the time. You can get the same thing as a PC much cheaper. PC: Get this. It's much easier to ( legally ) perform maintenance on as there aren't a million .5mm screw holes to get to the parts Apple is afraid of you messing with. (; Personally, as a developer I enjoy Linux and Windows ( XP or 7 -- I might try 8 again when my hardware is better able to handle it ) Linux just works. Most distros come pre-loaded with python, g++, gcc and more. It's also very secure in comparison to Windows. Also, for non-tech-savy people, it's nearly impossible to break without just blatantly deleting crucial things. It's also a free OS most of the time ( there are people who have built Linux distros and are selling them ) and it is just as user friendly as OS X if you want it to be. Windows works well, and has lots of software that works greatly with it. For example -- Windows 7's version of Explorer is great, and very intuitive. I prefer it to Ubuntu's Unity or even it's old interface. It also has Photoshop and many other things that work greatly with it ( as well as field-specific software like Autocad ) So you really shouldn't use Mac if you ever have any desire to learn and experiment. You should use Windows for professional things most of the time. You should use Linux if you prefer it to Windows and are worried about security. -
<p><p><p><p><p><p>I know for a fact Evolution does not mean we came from Monkeys. I also know it doesn't really disprove anything in the Bible. The Bible has no record of <em>every</em> creature God created. The Bible also says nothing about light bulbs, and yet we still have them today. Does that make them blasphemous? So there's no reason they can't co-exist. The only reason that they 'can't' is because some people don't look into the details enough. Atheists are so concerned about being right half the time ( bare with my being overly generic ) and Christians are so busy being offended that nobody actually takes time to stop and think there's nothing offending anybody. Darwin waited for a long time to release his book to avoid being persecuted by the Christian public because he knew it would happen. Pretty sound reasoning on his part, if you ask me. Ignorance will continue as long as people have minds that are closed.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p><p>Especially since that their ignorance is now taught in schools as fact, so the cycle continues indefinately until the world ends or loads proof against evolution is found and made popular.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

Remove the border; it's too large, and it was actually the first thing I noticed. I doubt this is the effect you want. Otherwise, well done.

Quite frankly I find my own mind and will more capable of forcibly changing itself than anything my parents have ever done. They say parents know best, I tend to disagree. I have managed my own grades much better since they've gotten off my back about it. Of course, they still don't want to give me credit where it's due, but the truth still stands. As of now-- I appreciate them for the things they do for me, and tell myself I'm willing to do the same thing. Unfortunately, my parents have dug their claws so far into the controlling and strict side of things I don't ever think I'll have a relationship with them that isn't a civil war or of any kind of influence outside of emotional stress. ** They are slightly responsible for me removing a large portion of my emotions outside of the ones associated with being cynical.

Why can't both big-bang and the Bible be correct? My theory: ( call it short-thoughts and fantasy if you will -- just hear me out ) God is as Hindu's believe -- existence. So he always is, always was, and always will be. When he created the rest of the universe, he did so utilizing the big-bang ( which somehow stretched over the course of 6 days ). Am I the only one who finds it odd that with just a little bit of perspective, religions widely considered vastly different like Hinduism and Judaism can even share a commonality? For example, there are 3 main gods that I'm aware of in Hinduism, -- Christianity has the trinity. -- Nothing is more dangerous than a closed mind.

<p><p><p><p><p><p>A large portion of Atheists were once Christians or a Jewish-based religion.</p></p></p></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><p><p><p>They went to a bad church where they were judged by ignorant followers,</p></p></p></p></p></p>
