You are correct however they have as much faith in their religion as you have on yours. You think you are correct however they just as strongly believe that they are the correct ones. That is a problem with using faith to determine what is correct. Whereas accepting a scientific theory or law is not basef upon faith but acceptance only after it has been tested over and over again. And may change with new discoveries.I

Not saying faith is bad but trying to showing a diffetence between believing based on faith and accepting based on evidence.

Goung back to the other poster, lots of Christians accept evolution based upon evidence. If your God guided or did not guide evolution would be faith based as there is of course no evidence that God did or did not guide evolution.

If you keep posting about evolution (particularly all the misinformation), which is a topic for the Science forum, this thread will be closed. The topic for this thread is: God bears full responsibility for how screwed up the world is.

I don't dispute that, and I never claimed that faith should be used to determine what is correct.

Yeah, why not. The world would be a better place to live. Why wait for pie in the sky by and by when you die? Why not get your pie now with ice cream on top?

Because you are a failure. You and you alone are to blame. You messed up the world.

How can you presume to blame God for your own failures?

God owes you nothing, and you owe God everything.

You ought to pay up while you have the chance.

God's the one with all the power. I didn't do anything to create the mess. It was already beyond human repair when I got here. Don't all problems flow upward to the guy sitting in the head office. Why doesn't he step in like any good boss would and fix the mess instead of skipping out of town like an irresponsible derelict CEO?

Yes you did. You do it every day. You're doing it now. And no to your question.

How can you believe this except for your faith and its belief in fallen man?

And I do not blame a God as I do not have a belief in one but you credit God for all good and man for all failure and that is entirely based upon your faith.

Humans deserve all the credit and all the blame for actiins by humans and not everyone is equally to blame or deserve of the credit.

Sorry but your last sentence reads as an empty threat.
