Sampe1967: so which of these is asier to believe. Darwin's theory on the origin of life or the bible's account of a deity that spoke things into being, with an intelegent design?
Darwin's theory gets my vote...it's logical.

i'm not so insecure that i feel there is a need for
any 'higher being' or some kind of 'magic' guiding
everything, life is what it is and i accept that.
you will find atheists and agnostics have thought
long and hard about what they do and don't believe in.
it isn't a view that they have accepted from birth or
that someone has 'sold' them as a comfort blanket.
they are not heartless people that don't care about anyone,
they tend to be well educated a fact which tends to really
piss the usual bible enthusiasts off.

You'd be surprised just how often the DOCTORS get it wrong, and more over badly wrong

Conrad73: Origin of Species,NOT Origin Of Life!
If you want to discuss it,please get it right!
And Science is definitely not your strong point it seems!Besides that,you have a very low opinion of your Own God,if you think He's going to break the very Laws he's set down to govern the Universe!
You believers are consistently Inconsistent!

Time and time again, Steve... At least there's logic proof for the evolution theory, as opposed to blind hope/faith

Un-natural? Do you mean supernatural? Un-natural implies a negation of nature, whereas supernatural implies rules outside of nature.
In either case, science is concerned with natural philosophy, not the mumbo-jumbo that the priest class insist is their sole demesne. Whether you classify this as "un-natural", "supernatural", "paranormal" or "quasi-significant" the answer will have to be no in my case.
"Don't you believe in flying saucers, they ask me? Don't you believe in telepathy? — in ancient astronauts? — in the Bermuda triangle? — in life after death?
No, I reply. No, no, no, no, and again no.
One person recently, goaded into desperation by the litany of unrelieved negation, burst out "Don't you believe in anything?"
"Yes", I said. "I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be." - The Roving Mind (1983), Isaac Asimov
To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today. - Essay "The “Threat” of Creationism" Isaac Asimov, New York Times Magazine, 14 June 1981 reprinted Science and Creationism (1984); M. F. Ashley Montagu (Editor) .

Well Darwin theorised a theory of evolution which in so far as I am aware still holds true with all the advances in science including gene sequencing. If you wish to go into creation vs big bang well you must then ask what made god.
I am at a loss as to why the church fights science on topics that have such strong evidence to counter them. Just look back to the where the ideas of a flat earth and the earth being the centre of the universe got them.

Until one is proven, none exist.
That includes your mythology and any others.
