And since it's just a theory and not proven fact you can't have any more problem with me "disagreeing" with it as you have with me being Christian

Nuclear Fission is "just a theory"
Black holes are "just a theory"
GRAVITY is "just a theory"


It can't be CALLED a theory  without a massive amount of evidence. Theory MEANS "explanation of existing evidence." It isn't a synonym for "guess".

Actually, as Graknorke also pointed out, Evolution is actually much better understood and more rigorously proven than gravity is.

No because I have been advised to keep Islam out of this because it's a guaranteed flame war
So is Christianity, but you've kept it cool for 100+ pages.
If you don't want to, that's cool. I'm just making a suggestion.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

I'm not even sure if there are active judaism worshipping B12 members. We've got an israeli or two, but the more vocal one is an atheist. Not that it would be terribly surprising if there aren't -- there's not really very many worshipers of judaism out there, world wide. Something like 14 mil, a couple years ago. Which. Y'know, florida outnumbers that. Only slightly more adherents than ruddy Illinois has people.

Don't really have much in the way of interaction with them, myself. Got some family that are (non-practicing/former) adherents, but outside of a (kinda' half-hearted) Hanukkah celebration or two when I was much, much younger it never really came up. Think I've got one of those spinny-top things shoved into a box in some closet or another, I'unno.

Honestly, if it weren't for the connection to the other abrahamic religions and israel regularly ruining everything around it, I don't think Judaism would really matter that much, these days. You're not doing too well when you're outnumbered by Juche.

E: I'd again recommend avoiding Islam, though. Another thread would be fine, but probably better to keep that discussion separate from others. Unfortunately, the vitriol directed toward it is another magnitude above that directed at christianity.

How about a preemptive poll to see whether there should be a poll for adding more religions?

I voted for Judeism , I figured a healthy dose of anti-Semitism would plummet the thread into a pit of oblivion :P
