as for the Pledge of Allegiance, it's written that way or has those americans who opposed to the word 'God' has forgotten about the impact that word has on those who fought for freedom of the country? it bore great meaning to them & therefore it should be said out loud in appreciation though not in conviction of God's existence.

Al, thanks for the spark of intelligence which is this thread that fires up so many intelligent minds who posted here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

people, keep it coming.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> i find science tend to contradict itself; one of u mentioned that science does not pretend that it doesn't have explanation for many many things (therefore implying that concepts such as spirits, God, soul cannot be merely discounted just because they're unexplained), yet it relies on empirical evidences to prove existence.

just because we have not scanned, probed, tested & experimented on what u claim as your brain, it doesn't mean it does not exist, isn't it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

about finding God in science, i do somehow experienced it in my school lab. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> life & what we have/are/experiencing today is too highly evolved or organised to be some random regurgitations made by some ancient amoeba long long ago.
