Religion is not finding evidence to match the stories, religion is faith. You have to believe, because there are no evidences. That's up to you to decide if you believe it or not...

Sorry, but to me, that's crazy talk. Believing something that you have no proof that it exists is irrational.

How did the very first bacteria survived? It needed oxygen from somewhere? Where did it come from? How did the bacteria get so complex? You need alot of parameters to be just right for a bacteria to transform O2 and glucose to CO2 and water, and for the Plant cells the other way around...

I think you misread what I wrote. The first cells did not require oxygen to be present to break down glucose. All they done was convert it into two molecules of pyruvic acid with a net gain of ATP being created from ADP + Pi.

Besides that, you missed my point about the bible never mentioning anything about single-celled amoeba and the likes, simply because they'd never heard of such things.

As for the creator-universe thing, A creator usualy has intelect, a creations doesn't have anything, no intellect no conciousness. even the universe

If this is true, then human beings aren't conscious, but I'm pretty sure this isn't the case.

On a side note, I partially agree that humanity may never build robots out of metals which function with the same intelligence as we do - it's all to do with the way in which non-metallic materials bond with each other as opposed to metallic bonding. (Non-metals tend to form small molecules - with the exception of pure carbon, whereas metals join in lumps). In this way it does show that we are limited by what we can do, but again, this does not prove that life must be created by "God" or whatever.

Religion was a good tool for maniplating people into doing other peoples' bidding, however I feel that as we have less and less use for it, religion will eventually be phased out. As someone said, any knew "religions" that form are simply classed as "cults", because basically that's what they are.

The only thing they've ever provided is faith, but the only thing I'll ever be found to put my faith in is the fact that I'll wake up tomorrow morning, knowing still that the chances of that are governed by reason, not by a "Godly force".
