Well, I counted the amount of words in this thread, and we have 546,998, not including biblical quotes. That other thread has more posts, but a lousy 53,666 words.

We still rule !

Damn!! Those are very interesting facts!! . I would say your showing your nerdiness but i would not want to assume! lol..

It looks like Atheism AND this hub rules!!

.How long did it take to count them

I knew we had more words than the other thread!  Especially since many people would quote from a quote from a quote from a quote and before they even stated their two page rebuttal the reply was already 10+ pages.

Okay maybe those numbers are a little exaggerated but you get the point.

2000+ posts?

You can - but what's the point?

I thought it was our goal to have a long thread.  Just offering to help it along!

Although I thought the discussion of the Ben Stein documentary "Expelled" would have done for some nice conversation, but it would seem no one here has seen it yet!

Well, tell us all about it then.

Was it good?

Did it fit with your world view?

But, more importantly,

Was it funny?

I don't know about that one but I saw your Ali G Video Mark.
Too funny.

LOL

He is funny. I only posted that video so WC could see if the metacafe videos were working properly. Which they are for me, but not for him.

Something biblical there WC?

Yes, God only wants Atheists posting to the world.

I knew it !

Hi Peter!

Of course, Darwin began life as a conventionally religious English middle-class gentleman. At one time he was seriously contemplating entering the Church - although, as it was the Church of England, that was probably more of a social gesture than anything else.

He was "horrified" at the implications of the theory he was gradually developing (based on accumulated evidence, of course) - and for a while still clung to the shreds of his old Anglican religion.

Of course, the theory of evolution is not incompatible with religion - it just make some of their more ludicrous aspects more difficult to swallow.

Darwin's own letters make it uniquivocally clear, however, that by the end of his life he had abandoned all pretext of religious belief.

And the rest is history .....

Yes, I read this, too.  The rest is indeed history.  I agree, evolution is not incompatible with religion, a point I wish everyone would grasp.

Mark, would it bother you for me to add you in when I pray?

The more the better.  Mark is at the top of my HubPages prayer list, and (as he has already said) he wouldn't mind one bit.
