"I have some questions for everyone here . For example , what is each side trying to prove ? Are the evolution supporters trying to convince others of evolution , or are they trying to defend evolution ? Are the creationists trying to disprove the current theory of evolution , or are they trying to win converts ? Also , why do you believe what you do about the universe ? ( `` The other side is wrong `` is n't the real reason you to believe what you do , I would think ) Here are my answers : I am here because I enjoy debates , and I am trying to defend evolution from people who do n't understand it . I believe that there is no god because I see no compelling evidence . I was brought up without anyone telling me what to believe , though I went to church occasionally . I also read the bible , but this failed to convince me . Finally , I wonder why the bible has convinced some but not others . I hope this thread proves informative ."
"That is about the same for me ( although I never went to church ) , and I find it more of an intellectual stimulation , and I can learn a lot too"
