But it's been proven that the Bible isn't completely true. The writers had there say in it, to influence their readers, and due to a misinterpretation of certain things. They don't even think Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, but was possibly born in Galilee. Then there are many more such falses, so we can't really base our reasons on what may not be true.

No, but I have many more reasons why I'm athiest besides my stance on evolution and creation. I really haven't been able to study the LDS religion, or even get ahold of a Book of Mormon. (That's why I created a profile, so I can perhaps get some LDS views and beliefs.)

God is far too complex of an idea. People say that living organisms are far to complex to have evolved to this state without some divine intervention, but in the same hand, God would be a FAR more complex creature than any organism on Earth. And what about all of the other 100 billion worlds within the 30 odd billion galaxies of our universe? Creationists say there is about a one in a hundred chance that life could have been created, so there must be a god. If there's a one in a BILLION chance, then there is roughly 1 billion other worlds with life within our universe...(or is it 10 billion?) going against the Bible. Organisms have evolved past something, evolved something useless, in order to evolve other, much needed, parts and pieces for survival. Evolution can be lab tested, easily, there's nothing divine about that.

There is no way to prove this. But people fill these unknown gaps with 'God' for all of these unexplainable things, and as we advance in knowledge, science seems to fill these gaps where God was the excuse. I do not believe that God and science can go hand in hand. Some organisms were consumed in time and died out, while other complex organisms evolved for survival, not because God wanted them to do so.

As 'Godless' stated, evolutionists believe that Man did not descend from apes, but that man an apes and all primapes share a common ancestor. I believe in the theory of natural selection. Darwin's big for this theory... Random genetic mutations occur within any single organism, and over time, these genetic mutations that actually aid in the survival of the organism develop over time as the organism gains more and more of these beneficial mutations, and over time, this organism has transformed into a whole different organism.

I found this site looking for information on Mormonism. And I figured a forum would be a pretty good way to get some different opinions. I'm a strong atheist, but love to learn. Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful in attaining a copy of the Book of Mormon from some of the LDS kids at school. So I'll have to find somewhere where I live where I can get a copy. But until then, anyone want to catch me up?
