No, I can't, and that's exactly the point: you cannot prove that something doesn't exist, and extraordanary claims require extraordinary evidence. If I should claim that invisible pink unicorns are real and that there is, in fact, one in my room right now who speaks to me and touches me (in a good way, you pervert ), then it's up to me to prove that that is so.

and there we have the basis of many (most) religions summed up in a nutshell

belief and/or faith

I'd rather believe in pink unicorns than God any day. At least there hasn't been any wars fought in the name of pink unicorns. Saying that, I haven't read the last Harry Potter book, so who knows

Yeah...there is definitely neverending and everlasting debate here...

For me...it's definitely more about faith than religion...I am not religious in any conventional sense of the word...but I consider myself very religious in a sense that I do keep the faith...no matter what...

[Pudding]

Religion is faith, faith isn't necessarily religion. So you can have faith without being religious.

[mszee]

Since I was talking about myself personally, for me faith is a religion...

[Pudding]

I have faith Meats next album will be good (on the whole) but that's not a religion maybe it should be The Gospels according to Saint Marvin

I know some of you won't agree; I am just putting forward the counter-argument.



He didn't - mostly humans did.

I tend not to get into the whole religion debate because being a student of BSc science (BioChem) I can't help but feel slightly biased. However, when people say things like 'Human's created most diseases', I have to but in and say you are wrong, just plain wrong.

Well, somebody definitely has more faith than me...lol...
