Religions exist simply because man is unable to face the idea that "this is it". Man is afraid of dying and needs to believe in an after life to keep from facing something he can't mentally deal with.
So why do some believe, and some do not?
Most likely it's because we are taught from birth.....sorta like Santa Claus. Unlike children tho, we can ask the question "does God exist outside of religion and can we offer an reasonable explanation of his existence outside of the Bible?"
I don't understand your post. Are you wanting a detailed explanation of how evolution works, or how coagulation itself evolved? Both are answerable, but I don't understand what the relevance is.
The next to the last paragraph had the really relevant question. Considering all the elements and processes in the process of coagulation, one would wonder how many generations of minor evolutionary changes would be needed to evolve all of those elements and processes. Then, with that in mind, how would mankind have not bled itself into extinction before the process of evolutionary changes of coagulation was complete?
I'm willing to spend the time outlining the details of the evolution of coagulation if I have a reason to. Is that the last piece of the puzzle that will convince you that evolution is real, or is it something else? It isn't different from explaining the evolution of most any biological mechanism. That being said, there weren't humans running around dying in masses because coagulation hadn't evolved yet...coagulation evolved long before humans came to be in current form.
I believe there are studies out there that have shown that a person's religious leaning is most often influenced by where they were born (combined with the religion of the parent).
Everything we have is mere guessing? By your logic dinosaurs didn't exist. Those fossils we find are just mere rock, nothing more, nothing less. How bout oil? There is a theory that is just decayed plant n animal matter from the bottom of some ocean......guess oil doesn't exist.
Your logic about theories is seriously flawed. Which came first, the chicken or egg? By your logic neither.....why? Chickens either didn't evolve or there is no such thing as an egg.
I do not 'believe'. To me, belief is an emotional attachment devoid of facts to an idea with the hope that it is true. I need evidence and proof that God exist. When I read Paine's Age of Reason it became evident that his position was logical in determining the existence of God. With the proof in front of me there is no need to believe.
So for you Paine answered the question of God's existence? The Age of Reason killed God?
