since no one else knows how to do it:

Religion is based on beliefs. If you believe in no god, then good for you. You are entitled to your opinion and beliefs. If you believe in God or gods, then good for you. You are entitled to your opinion and beliefs.

Arguin who is right is why the world is the way it is. Its not b/c of religion, its b/c of the disagreements between religious faiths. That includes those that do not believe in a god.

To answer the God, evolution question. I ask this, why cant both exist?

According to the Bible, God is never described in full detail. It only mentions that he walks among us and is the FIGURE of a man.

Arguin that evolution and religion can not exist is pathetic, b/c they can.

We were created in God's likeness. Whether or not you believe in God, all i ask is that you understand that belief. not accept it, just understand that Catholics agree in that belief. ok?

Now I ask, what is God's likeness? If your answer is the way we look, then you have been living a lie your whole life. Likeness in the Bible does not necessarily have to relate to physical likeness, it could relate to moral likeness. ever thought of that?

That being said, God has no physical feature. He is what we hope for him to be. If you can just accept that Catholics agree that God is all knowing and all powerful, then you should accept that God is everything and anything. Giving him a physical likeness was created by mainstream media to give non-followers and those with little faith a concrete image of God. Facts prove that its easier to accept someone if you can place a face with that being.

Am I asking you to believe in God? yes and no. It would be a sin for me to not spread the word, but i'm also not about forcing an issue. Faith is something you must learn to accept for yourself. I am 20 years old and think for myself. I have chosen my faith.

Evolution can exist with God. Why isnt it possible? God created, man evolved. simple. Stop tryin to make a simple solution more difficult than it is.

Take your beliefs and be proud of them, whether it be to love God or not.

As SoxWin proclaimed (no matter where it came from):

Treat others the way you want to be treated

that is the Golden Rule, it applies to everyone, no matter the religious beliefs. Follow that rule and you would have lived a good life.
