Billions of years

Exactly. Many millions of years..


the fossil record proves we did

Have you seen these fossil records?

the problem is that while a lot of moderates are harmless the “respect” allows shelter for the extremists that like to fly plains into buildings

Extremists will find shelter wherever they can. I think we should be able to separate terrorists from religion / belief systems. For if we cant do this, surely it will lead to only more extremism...

dunno

Extremists in Islam and Christianity are just people that truly believe in the vile book their beliefs are based on at some point you just have to say enough is enough your beliefs are idiotic and do not deserve respect just because you want to call it religion

The text of the Koran clearly state that martyrdom is a way to heaven , and encase you missed it the people that flew the plains into the twin towers where of the belief that they where committing an act of martyrdom doh

Oh the Christians are right into their martyrs too! Big on pain and suffering are the Christians! And 3000 of the twin towers pales into insignificance compared to the passover and the death of the first born in Egypt or Noah and the flood!

The Koran or Bible are not vile books (if thats what you mean)some might argue that is an extremist point of view? and yes it is mans interpretation that is the problem, just like Sharia Law which is an extremist interprtation of the koran

hmmm

Funny but I always thought martyrdom was gained from doing positive things, ie. helping people not killing them

Oh no, you can martyr yourself for a cause too, no matter how insane it is! The church is paricularly good at canonizing people who they themselves have persecuted! You've got to admire that type of hypocracy open mindedness!
