pete, I've read your answer several times and I still don't really understand it (thanks to Paul Burke and Bill D for pointing out that it might have something to do with Pascal's Wager).

What I was getting at is, do you believe that humans are superior to the rest of Nature (note how I avoided the word 'Creation'!)? And do you, and your fellow creationists, believe that God has given us humans the right to destroy the other living things that we share this planet with? If your answer is "yes" - that's one of the main reasons why I am opposed to religion(s); if your answer is "no" what has your religion done to oppose the appalling destruction of biodiversity that is going on all around us?

And by the way, I am not an atheist, I am an agnostic. As I've written many, many times it's not possible to prove that God does not exist because, logically, no-one can prove a negative. Therefore it is the RESPONSIBILITY of 'theists' to prove that God exists. If you believe in God so fervently, pete, I challenge you to prove that He exists! If you can do that I promise not to be mean to you again!
