Evolution is in no way a Religion. Religions deal with Gods or spirits of some sort, while Evolution is all about facts.

Than we dont have same meaning of the word "religion"

[Sebatianos]

People who disagree with evolution (just because of their principe) can't be convinced anyway, but to say that there is no proof for evolution - and that it's just another religion,... Well that's like saying electricity is magic!
150 years ago common people knew nothing about electricity and would say that there is no proof for invisible energy that can make a little glass and metal thing glow and light up entire room. They were proven wrong!
All the support for evolution might be less convincing, yet it gives strong hints that the entire evolutionary theory is correct, but might need some modification. Of course none of this sceptics will accept that as proof, and they won't believe in evolution until a large enough specie will evolve (they need to believe their own eyes).

Don't forget that the Earth used to be flat, with no life possible to the south of the Sahara desert, also the world did not move it was the Sun that travelled across the sky along with the stars. The moon was made of cheese and numerous caves were entrences into hell. Oh and of course GOD created all the creatures exactly the way they are.

Well religion isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, it's made it's fair share of mistakes like science has as well.

Thankfully we've moved on from those days.

EXACTLY
But you can say also oposite: people who disagree with god cant be conviced anyway, just becouse of their principe, and they wont accept any proof until god come to them and kick them in a*s.And they would probably think something like-"wow this was weird halucination,I wont smoke that thing again".... LOL

Wait wait wait. Show me some proof of god. Tell me about the proof. Specific examples please.

You said it!

But all though this might sound extremely rude, I have to say it:

We've come so far mostly due to science. It was religion, but mostly IGNORANCE that held back (and still does) the progress.

When science makes mistakes - they lear from it and change their views.

When religion makes mistake - they attack anyone who points at that mistake and start covering up their flaws, because they are suppose to be all knowing (at least christianity)!

I know this might be a double post, but this one I have to reply to...

It's not a direct quotation, but this is from the Hitchiker's guide:
The Bable fish is such a clear evidenca of god's existance, that it's finally proven, the GOD exists. Now we have proof and we don't need to believe any more. And PUF god disapeared, because no-one 'believed' in him anymore.

[DeathDude]

Come on, what about the religious experiences, people have had with angels for example or the near death experiences, you think these are made up? Some are fake yes, but some aren't if they do make a change in people's lives and they learn from the experience then an impact has been made.
