Why are you people so ANGRY!!!!!
Hi all,
Atheist extremist here.
just introducing my self.
its finally good to find a site on the web that has similar goals and visions as my site.
Some friends and I started evolution gate back in.... 2003 I think, our site doesn't get updated much, never had the resources, always busy working on other aspects of helping humanity, our group is more of a social group with educating the world on the side, I like this site as its more educational and has far greater resources, I wish everyone the best, keep up the good fight.
oh and yes the evolutions gate name is a play on the cult heavens gate
Cheers

Hi, evogate. You're trying to educate people about evolution? Care to explain this, then?
From http://evolutionsgate.org:
"Evolution is the fastest growing religion on earth, religion is evolving, eventually the whole world will be followers of evolution..."
"You are 'atheist' simply you are PSYCHO or IGNORANCE. That's why even youself feel like not EXIST on this world."

Hi Daveyboy,
this was written about 4 years ago, religion could be argued to be an incorrect word, but it was written in the same way as saying "Soccer is religion for many people" the person doesn't actually worship and follow blindy soccer, the evolution being religion was simply implying that it was replaceing the hole where religion once was.
Peace champ

and by fastest growing, I'm simply referring to where I was living at the time majority of people I knew were baptised as children but were athiests of agnostic, and most had a solid belief (if this is the correct word) in evolution, I say belief as solid understanding wouldn't be correct.
where as I've never known a person to turn religious, but known many to turn from religion, and in all modern countrys that I've been to more people are becomming atheists or agnostics then turning to religion, this might be incorrect of the US though as I've never been there.

I think religion is completely the wrong word for evolution! The who point is its not a religion is is science! You cant teach religion in science lessons, hence why people like Kent Hovind always call evolution a religion!
Religion: a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects
Evolution can not be a fundamental set of beliefs because it changes (or evolves) as our knowledge increases.
Also evolution, does not attempt to put forward a possible moral code or rituals.
Saying evolution is a religion is like saying gravity is a religion or general relativity. That just makes no sense!
If evolution turns into a religion then the fundamentalists can have it out of schools in a second!
Also people don't follow evolution in the way they follow a football team! A football team is like a religion, most people pick one stick with it for life, what determines there football team is more often based on where they come from or there parents. Science is not like that! DON'T TURN SCIENCE INTO A RELIGION! THAT IS ALMOST AS IRRATIONAL AS BELIEVING IN INVISIBLE MEN IN THE SKY!
Sorry to rant at you like that but it needed to be said!
it keeps me on the ground
No, that's the FSM, holding you down with His Noodly Appendage.

Gravity is a lie!

Organised religion is the ultimate form of blasphemy.

To have faith in anything is to have faith in nothing, to have faith in nothing is to have faith in everything. Or is it to have nothing is having everything and having everything is having nothing. To live is to die and to die is to live. To being a criminal is justice to being just is criminal. To truth is a lie, to lie is truth.
--Veritas
I do think religion is the wrong word for evolution or science or anything. Religion implies a level of irrational and often irreversable faith. The beauty of science is in our ability to adapt and see the universe as evidence presents itself. Personally, my viewis that we have to have faith in two things:
1) We exist.
2) The universe in which we find ourselves exists including all other people and life forms.
This faith is not an irrational faith to have because it is something we can sense and trust in empirically. Because we experience it, it is there in some form or other.

Isn't the fox news slogan:
"Fox News: Fair and Balanced"?
If so they're lying. If that's what passes for serious, mainstream telly in America I'm worried. I'm so glad Fox doesn't exist over here.
Atheist Books
The biggest problem with the slogan is the word "News".
Enlightened Atheist, Gaming God.
I would've though fair and balanced were equally lies. They may as well call it Fox.
what scares me is the perception that there is a genuine need to get in the godsquad's faces so hard. i'm not condemning - shit, spain is a secular country so i don't have to put up with a rabid religious press/tv/radio culture, (and i thank god for that every day ), but if i were still in the u.s., i'm not sure that i'd choose brian's way. teenage angst is a two edged sword, and you make yourself easy marks for the foxy insults and counter charges. maybe better to have a more sweeping statement, and couched in positive terms not denial.
what about something like : my own powers of reason convince me that i have no need to believe in the supernatural, in any god or divine creator and i wish to go on record as affirming this.
you might get more people prepared to come out and say that. more reason and less bible burning might convince more....
just a thought.
spanish rationalist, olé
I personally don't think it's enough just to affirm our own beliefs, religion is a dangerous force in places like America, there has to be a fight for educating people in science and reason and for secularisation of schooling. I don't think we should be nasty or insult theists, as I have noticed a bit on here, but we should engage with them in debate and try to change their minds. Hurling insults at them isn't going to win them over.
