re: 2 billion year old fossils of multicellular life forms discovered

It's funny how a fossil discovery will turn into a religious debate, like clockwork.


It's why it's best to keep science and religion separate. Religion too often serves to just delay and derail scientific progress.

It was snarky on the first 2 pages, but it really turned into a pretty pleasant derail after that about the origins of faith and the philosophy behind it. Pretty enlightening thread.

It never fails though. Someone posts cool science article. D-bag internet atheists and evangelicals come in fishing for trolls and post offensive, snarky comments ridiculing the other side. Crazy "Christian" (or just some random troll trying to poke fun at Christians) comes in claiming the Earth is 2000 years old some bull shite, the Atheists rip him apart (understandably), and all of the reasonable people get ignored while one evangelical white knights for Christianity while the thread turns into a pissing match between him and all of the atheists. Thankfully, that didn't actually happen in this thread.
