The New Yorker

"Last week, Gallup announced the results of their latest survey on Americans and evolution. The numbers were a stark blow to high-school science teachers everywhere: forty-six per cent of adults said they believed that “God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years.” Only fifteen per cent agreed with the statement that humans had evolved without the guidance of a divine power.
What’s most remarkable about these numbers is their stability: these percentages have remained virtually unchanged since Gallup began asking the question, thirty years ago. In 1982, forty-four per cent of Americans held strictly creationist views, a statistically insignificant difference from 2012. Furthermore, the percentage of Americans that believe in biological evolution has only increased by four percentage points over the last twenty years."

Your list of wars based on Atheism included the American War of Independence.
The war was initially between Britain and the colonies but when the founding fathers signed their declaration, it became a war against the USA as well as against France, Spain and Holland.
You say it was based on Atheism.

It wasn't - it was political.
An understanding of history requires a certain amount of intelligence.

And let's be honest...that's not really KJV's strong suit...

<quoted text>The majority of the world's Christians have no problem with Evolution.

Get used to it.
"If evolution is true, then the entire narrative of the Bible has to be revised and reinterpreted. The evolutionary account is not only incompatible with any historical affirmation of Genesis, but it is also incompatible with the claim that all humanity is descended from Adam and the claim that in Adam all humanity fell into sin and guilt. The Bible’s account of the Fall and its consequences is utterly incompatible with evolutionary theory. The third chapter of Genesis is as problematic for evolutionary theory as the first two.
The naturalistic evolutionists are now pressing their case in moral as well as intellectual terms. Increasingly, they are arguing that a refusal to accept evolution represents a thought crime of sorts. They are using all the tools and arguments at their disposal to discredit any denial of evolution and to marginalize voices who question the dogma of Darwinism. They are working hard to establish unquestioned belief in evolution as the only right-minded and publicly acceptable position. They have already succeeded among the intellectual elites. Their main project now is the projection of this victory throughout popular culture.
Among the theistic evolutionists, the issues are becoming clearer almost every day that passes. Proponents of theistic evolution are now engaged in the public rejection of biblical inerrancy – with some calling the affirmation of the Bible’s inerrancy as an intellectual disaster and “intellectual cul-de-sac.” Others now openly assert that we must forfeit belief in an historical Adam, an historical Fall, and a universal Flood.
Thus, the vise of evolutionary theory is now revealing the fault lines of the current debate. There can be no question but that the authority of the Bible and the truthfulness of the Gospel are now clearly at stake. The New Testament clearly establishes the Gospel of Jesus Christ upon the foundation of the Bible’s account of creation. If there was no historical Adam and no historical Fall, the Gospel is no longer understood in biblical terms.
This is the new shape of the debate over evolution. We now face the undeniable truth that the most basic and fundamental questions of biblical authority and gospel integrity are at stake. Are you ready for this debate?"

Nice the way you left off the "or non religious based wars"

More little word games. That's all you have never anything but twisting word games. Either adding words or removing them or rearranging them. Never a thing of real data to enter.

You are a puppet and do nothing more then entertainment.

Rather sad you can't see how pathetic you come across.

Well given the fact that God was capitalized that would affirm that it was the God of the Bible he was talking about.

"Do You Capitalize the Word "God"?
One of the most common questions people ask about religious words is whether to capitalize the word “god.” The name of any specific deity is capitalized just like any other name, so when “God” is used to refer to “the one God,”(in other words, in any monotheistic religion) it is capitalized. "

http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/do-you-c...

"Indeed, it would be rather juvenile to misspell God simply in order to insult theists. If such an atheist had so little respect for another person, why even waste the time writing to them in the first place, much less deliberately trying to hurt them at the same time? While that may actually be the case with some atheists who write the word 'god' with a lowercase 'g,' "

<quoted text>My favourite old UK law is that a pregnant woman is allowed to urinate in a policeman's helmet.

But guess what? Like so many unrepealed laws, like the Arizona law banning donkeys from sleeping in your bath, it never gets invoked.
Really?
"Arizona law banning donkeys from sleeping in your bath"
Kind of makes you wonder why they felt the need to make such a law.

Well that was all a bunch of babbling about your myth which didn't even remotely answer my question. Again who created hell if not Yahweh/Jesus? He had to have created it as said in your passage below unless you are claiming there is another creator besides him. Are you claiming there are two creators? If so who? You can't say Satan built and created hell because your own hand picked passage says that hell was designed for Satan.

As usual you Christholes don't even understand your own myth.

Another great site would be for Chris Langan to retake his IQ test this time under a controlled accurately observed setting. His self proclaimed score is questionable at best especially when you see how he floundered on 1 vs 100 :))

Regardless even if and that is a HUGE IF his score is accurate all that argument is doing is appeal to authority logical fallacy, nothing more. Langan is a DI licking reject.
