And just because we see know application for something now, that doesn't mean there won't be in the future. <br /> <br /> People complained about the amount of money spent on the LHC at CERN, but look at the way particle physics is used to bombard cancerous tumours.

Sanchez [Member] c3583@http://www.thechristianalert.org/ By "these guys" I meant scientists in general. I hope that all the research they do leads them to cures and treatments for illnesses. <br /> <br /> Where we came is important but not as important as finding cures, etc.<br /> <br /> If a genie in a bottle gave you two choices:<br /> Find out where we came from:<br /> or <br /> Find a cure for Cancer:<br /> <br /> Which one would you choose?<br /> <br /> I'm thinking Cancer...<br /> <br />

If a genie in a bottle gave you two choices:
Find out where we came from:
or
Find a cure for Cancer:

Which one would you choose?

I'm thinking Cancer...

Sanchez [Member] c3567@http://www.thechristianalert.org/ Discover Channel &amp; History Channel are unreal with some of their remarks. If it weren't for the great photography via my HD TV signal and the fact that these channels are included in my cable package, I wouldn't care for them. <br /> <br /> But I think Atheists and the like really respect you when you quote the "discovery channel"...

You can go to church everyday and memorize the entire bible and still not know God. If de-baptizing is what atheists believe will confirm their religion then their faith against God isn't very strong at all. It is really their proclamation against belief in God. Atheism is a religion that believe there is no God, ironically some atheistic scientists believe a superior alien from another plant may have created us, but of course his name couldn't be God. lol<br /> <br /> I would laugh harder when I watch the discovery channel if I didn't know that those people seriously believe what they are saying.
