You seriously think everyone who believes into evolution has a PhD in science and has explored everything that evolution deals with? Most of the people follow it because it's an alternative to religion.
People have trouble living as "I don't know".
I never said "everyone who believes into evolution has a PhD in science and has explored everything that evolution deals with"
Hell, I know a few people who believe in Evolution without understanding all of it, i have a slightly better understanding evolution than basic.
The fact that people follow it blindly is horrible, and I try to educate as well as I can (from what I understand of it), Following something blindly is the same as voting for someone in politics because they are pretty.
I don't support it and an ill informed vote is a wasted vote.
[Edit: yes people do have problems with "I don't know" but the whole point of science is to answer phenomena through natural causes. Now when I made the comment about 5th graders and Ph.D. holders was to make the argument that people who actually know what the hell they are talking about should dictate what is taught to those who don't know anything.]
im a phd pimp and drug dealer and from my professional experience I can positively absolutely tell you in confidence that god does not exist.
and secondly....he definitely doesn't belong in diablo or the world of sanctuary because he'd likely get his ass handed to him by the 3 prime evils before being corrupted by the worldstone and then changing to the right side. then maybe id respect him.
Would you mind elaborating on the first comment with evidence and the second one made no sense since people are talking about the presence in the forums, not in the game.

I am a Christian. But in order to follow a faith you have to have faith. You have to trust in it. You have to believe in things you can not see. I understand that its hard to believe in something if you have not seen or felt it. I have no seen God, but I have felt his touch in my life and seen thing that could only be from Him.
If you want to know if he is real, just ask. Sincerely say a prayer and ask him to reveal himself to you. You just have to have faith.
in the world of Diablo there are the High Heavens and the Burning Hells (its being mentioned as Hells everywhere - talking about the official site now). Prime Evils and the "powers of the Heavens" (which are unknown).
Theres only been mentioned once about "7 is the number of the powers in the Heavens and 7 in Hell" (or somewhat like it) in Diablo 1 but that was a long time ago.
Thinking of which, it most likely means theres no religion as it is in the real world. The only "church" we had in Diablo was this of Zakarum that got corrupted. (coinsidence? ^^)
as a sidenote, i'd consider myself agnostic. I believe there have to be something out there but have no idea what it is and what its intentions are. A being more powerful that brought things in motion (thats as much as i think of God - the power that started everything). The rest is pure coinsidence. How the world was formed and all. I dont think anyone "protects" us either. The power we find in "God" is inside us. We just have a need to believe that someone "protects our path" or something to believe we can accomplish whatever it is that we try.
I agree Equinox. I think when people believe that God is speaking to them, in essence it is the placebo effect in action. By believing that God is giving you strength and willpower, you feel it come into reality.

That's why I like Transcedentalism. The power comes from yourself, not from a "god".
That sounds like a more proven method of trying to get shit accomplished. My grandma on my dads side got cancer 1 month ago and believes god will prrotect her and whatnot so only puts her faith in god and lets the doctors do to her whatever they please.
Of course because of this she is dying, her cancer just now became terminal by relying on such things and her body is pretty much in a state of shit and half dead already because of chemo and surgeries.
However my other grandma on my moms side got cancer though almost 15 years ago and the doctors said it was terminal and gave her 3 months to live. She did not rely in god or doctors and took shit into her own hands and figured out how to heal herself naturally.
The doctors are surprised that she is still alive to this day even though she refused their chemo therapy and surgeries (which surprises me theyre surprised since chemo therapy is pretty much a death sentence by itself). She refused to sit by a bible all day and let the doctors kill her. Refused to just believe god's will is god's will..... She took her health into her own hands and her cancer is gone and she is alive and healthy. Prayer doesnt work. Self reliance and knowledge is key.
Such a shame my other grandma is so ignorant and just believes god will protect her or he has his will, he does as he please and thats part of his plan and all that bullshit.
hate to say it but that bitch will be gone soon. Her condition shows it.. im sure it was "gods plan" or whatever for her to be suffering like this. no. It was her own doing.
Great another thread wth people olny agreeing with themselves. Honestly so your telling me not to Believe my doctors anymore? and that me not taking there advise, is some how related to me believing in god and hoping that he may protect me while at the sametime allowing the doctors and try to save me? I mean most religious radicals wont accept the treatment saying it's because it's a religious test not the otherway around.
I didnt say not to accept your doctors. They are great tools. When it comes to chemo therapy though and stuff such as prescribing antibiotics for longterm use when its not needed then yeah obviously most of their patients get more sick or die. Nice job trying to misconstrue what I said though as a whole. youve gained 2 exp. but u need 1,000,000,000 to level up.

...what are you talking about?
heh...funny
this is if god was in the diablo universe.
As for the real universe. He doesnt exist here either.
If you want to know if he is real, just ask. Sincerely say a prayer and ask him to reveal himself to you. You just have to have faith.
