Ugh! I love Bill Maher! It's about time someone made a movie about how crazy these fucking people are.

Worth seeing but somewhat of a letdown because I had high expectations. Maher held back a lot because he hadn't done adequate research beforehand. He knew Christianity so that was an easy one for him. It felt like he was holding back on Judaism, sort of hypocritical.

The rest of the stuff he didn't really push the envelope because the people he was interviewing knew the material better. I mean its not like he didn't have enough time to prepare. When Stewart or Colbert interview their guests, you can tell they know the topics, a lot of the time impressively well.

Most of the people he spoke to were idiots. That was a big joke of the movie, to make fun of these lunatics and show them for what they are. That's sort of a cop out for me because it so easy. Although that was kind of the premise, to show how rational people can "believe" things they know can't be true. I would have liked to see him take on more important people that matter. That didn't happen probably because of my earlier observation.

Renegade, everyone isn't like you man, that is, level headed, informed, and non-judgemental/tolerant. And I'm not saying the same doesn't apply to 'religious' folks. I'm not trying to obfuscate your argument here or anything btw, just a comment.

I wasn't trying to tar all religious people with the same brush there, I was merely pointing out that a religious person being ignorant about their own religion is far more inexcusable than a non-religious person being ignorant about that same religion. Wouldn't it frustrate you more, for instance, to see a practicing Muslim displaying flagrant ingorance about the nature of your religion than to see a non-Muslim doing the same thing?

Apparently not Bill Maher. I haven't seen the movie yet though, so in all fairness I can't really say what he's doing... but it seem like the standard drivel to me.

LOL, his comments on the trinity concept were hilarious... which wasn't even a part of Christianity until 300 a.d. The concept is one of the many pagan elements incorporated in to "Christianity" by the Romans at the Council of Nicea, leading to the creation of the 'Holy Roman Empire.' That's one thing that always boggled my mind, monotheism and [pagan] Egyptian / Babylonian trinity meshed together (which is where I'm guessing the Greeks got it from too?).

The funniest part about the debate between intelligent design and modern evolution is over a matter of a word, "intelligence", which technically means nothing on the grander scale of the universe.

I think this will also be the cause of a lot of debate when computers become self-aware, if they're not already on some level. The word "artificial" will be the only difference, as they will be Life. I could argue that we also are artificial.

We probably are the result of an "intelligent" blueprint, but to think that it is a creature or a God-thing is just myopic.

There are definitely problems I have with modern evolution, such as its lack of appreciation of the current individual adapatation, as well as the fact that survival of the fittest is so relative that it becomes basically "survival of those who survive" after its fractioned down enough times through enough of the infinite possibilities this world can toss at us. Our current financial crisis and the situation with CEOs making a buck and bailing is one example of this.

Just like in business, we rise to our level of incompetence, constantly being promoted while we are too good for our position, until finally we end up in a place where we are not good enough to be promoted, and thus are less suitable for the company, bringing the whole system into a state of inefficieny.

I'd like to help pioneer the idea that viruses are the cause of evolution and are naturally arising "intelligent" "life"forms that the universe creates in order to "upgrade" the hardware of all lifeforms.

I'd also like to point out that by adding elements and compounds to eggs during conception, the lifeform can take on the properties of that element; glow in the dark pigs, for example, have been bred as we all have seen.

So its almost as if life itself is constantly taking queues from the environment, in this obvious grand symbiosis, but whether you choose to believe in either theory, intelligent design or evolution or even both, you still are left with the same end questions.
