    Is it ethical to attack a theory based on evidence & logic because it goes against a belief based on fear?

    Is it ethical to ask such a question that will only provide controversy? As we all know no person will alter their stance.

    So, you don't see your statement as a contradiction?

    Even at that, each time science discovers how something actually works, taking the 'beyond what we can understand' out of the equation, religion must change it's doctrines to coincide.

    Can you name one time when science had to bow to an explanation from religion?

    Theists like yourself often make that error.

    It proves that your computer, internet connection, medicines, etc. didn't appear by magic, nor did religion bring them about.

    The bible states a great many things that are false or incorrect, and it often appeals to magic when it comes to explanations. Faith isn't based on knowledge by any stretch of the imagination. Faith is faith, and is based on what people "want" to believe.

    Try taking your own advice, then.

    No, you believe god exists, just like every other theist on the planet. If you claim to know a god exists, please show us this god of yours.

    Like you're doing, now? Most fourteen year olds aren't as mentally unstable as you are, and have more sense than making idiotic claims of *knowing* gods exist. Give them some credit, toots.

    Well, it is not unethical per say, it's how you continue to support your claims that determines whether or not it remains ethical.

    By the way I will point out. Big bang and Evolution do not disprove a Creator God in any way. Given that a Creator God would be the one creating the rules why would the Creator not use the rules to create everything.
