I know there are good people who are religious, but it's reassuring to know that a good bloke like David Attenborough believes, like every one of my family from big to little, that you should be nice to each other, not because it's in your own interest ( ie. you'll be punished ) because a big spirit is watching, but because we should. We firmly believe - as the saying goes - that THIS is the main performance, not the rehearsal.

Guest: Creationism, now useless? (1570 days ago)

Creationism was great in the olden days. In many cases it stop people doing bad things because of the idea a judging god was always watching an evaluating them, ready to send them to hell to 'burn' of there sins. Now however we have CCTV and a (crappy if your in Britain) police force. Goodbye Creationism, you now officially f@#?ing useless.

There are a lot of scientists who are Christians who believe that Evolution is god's continual creation. And I'm prepared to accept that.

No there aren't. They are a tiny deluded minority. People of education and intelligence have very low tolerance for delusion.

Do you believe there is such a thing as sin in this world, the will to connive in evil to the detriment of the weak, steve-o ?

interesting his main view is...do unto others as you would have them do unto you.a very basic noble rule that if we all took note of would make the world so much better.thats also a bible quote people,stop putting religion down so much...if you look at what it says you should and should'nt do,much of it is just good moral guidance.

Confucious said this too years before christianity even came into being. The evils caused by religion are far more substantial than the morality it claims to champion. Religion tends to monopolise morality while we know it is an evolutionary requirement if the human race is to survive.

You'll find the 'golden rule' in almost every religion and philosophical code. Why? It makes so much sense, that's why. We are social animals, above all else.

This is in the Bible too: Leviticus Chapter 25, 44-47. 'And as for your male and female slaves whom you may have-from the nations that are around you, which they beget in your land; and they shall become your property. And you may take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them as a possision; they shall be your permanent slaves. Nice, huh?

Evolution isn't proven but there is LOADS of evidence for it being true. There is zero evidence of creationism. You're not being lead by God, you're being lead by a money making business? Why does God always need our money? Why does it cost so much to run a church? Who pays? "Jesus is the shepherd, you are the sheep." - They even tell you you're a 'follower' - take control of your own life and enjoy it, life has a tendency to not last long.

Latest comment: You are talking about mythology! Heaven and Hell? That is some made up tale. Evolution can be backed up but only the bible can back up your logic. Go read a real book!!

@Sam Your god is an evil, genocidal, narcissistic, homophobic dictator with no proof of his existence whatsoever; do you really expect intellectuals to suddenly devote their lives to worshiping him?

Guest: Tomas Berdych (410 days ago)

Greek mythology is just as plausible as the bible. Why, they both provide not one bit of evidence that show any truth. Now lets think out loud. Are you saying that eve was made from adams rib and that they walked along side the dinosaurs. Religion is so far right winged it just needs to be destroyed. Religion is division and the world will be better off without it. In conclusion, SamAberdeen you are in a cult state of mind and will never be free to think for yourself. AND YOU SOUND LIKE A MAJOR ASSLICKER.

sir david: David means "beloved of God"-Saint Thomas was a doubter too! It's healthy. Continue searching...You will be rewarded. There is a reason for pain,suffering,parasites etc., It is in the "BIBLE"
