      <![CDATA[What do we understand by the word “creating”? What does “to create” mean?<br>
Does it mean, perhaps, to take some scattered separate but existing materials<br>
and, by utilizing certain experimental principles or applying certain rules, bring them<br>
together, re-group, fix and co-ordinate them in such a way as to make something out<br>
of them?<br>
<br>
No! This does not mean “to create”.

If you claim that Christianity is a 'myth', how would you prove that affirmative claim? Can you use science that deals with material empiricism to prove than an immaterial entity does not exist?

This entire idea of marriage being sacred is a modern invention that only came to be in past couple of hundred years.

Pretty ignorant on your part. Comparing the worldview of greek gods, which were mere glorified versions of finite man, are not comparable to an absolute and person being like the Christian God.

This means that it really doesn't matter what any god (be it Yahweh, Odin, Cthulu, Zeus, or whom/what ever) has to say about marriage or anything else for that matter.

      <![CDATA[Tim, excellent rant. Here's my suggestion, for those of you founded in the religious arena, if you believe that the Bible forbids same sex marriages, I would strongly recommend then that you don't marry someone of the same sex......I think you have far great assaults on the institution of marriage from within your own ranks who seem to have no problems with divorce.
