[I was always intrigued by Atlantis & if it ever really existed...a lot of evidence proving it did but i still question it...it must have been an amazing civilization]
You said elsewhere that Americans don't believe everything they read. If you believe anything of this rubbish you perhaps should stop reading altogether. Most of the 'evidence' is in the minds of believers in such pseudoscience. Thera (Santorini) is probably the best fit for the descriptions given by Plato, but that hardly counts as evidence for the myth. |

[I normally claim to be agnostic, as I don't believe in a deity.]
As has already been pointed out several times, if you do not believe in a deity you are, by definition, an atheist. |

If everyone decided to be chaste the human race would die out.
If all men became (sincere) Catholic priests we'd all die out. Just because you can come up with 'what ifs' it doesn't mean that they have any basis in reality. Homosexuality is a natural part of sex, occurring in many (probably most) animal species, and does not lead to extinction. Indeed, one study suggests that some homosexuality may be a side-effect of increased fertility in women (http://www.livescience.com/2623-gays-dont-extinct.html). |

[If Darwin was such an evolutionist, why would he promote racism by saying on the second page of his infamous book, Origin of Species, "Preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life"? Is he talking about evolution?]
In Darwin's time the word 'races' was used as a synonym for 'species'. |

[But, as by this theory, innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?" ]
Every fossil is an example of a transition from what existed before it to what came after. The only exception would be creatures that fossilised immediately before the species became extinct. |

Before you regurgitate any claims you should check them.
[The law of increasing entropy, also known as the second law of thermodynamics, stipulates that all systems in the real world tend to go "downhill", toward disorganization and decreased complexity.] No it doesn't. A better statement would be "in every real process the sum of the entropies of all participating bodies is increased." If you don't include all the participating bodies, the law doesn't hold. This is usually expressed as the law only applying to 'closed systems'. The real world is not a closed system as the sun dumps huge amounts of energy on the Earth, as you go on to misrepresent. [Evolutionists may argue that evolution is a fact anyways] It is a fact because it has been observed. Try this reference: http://atheism.about.com/od/evolutionexplained/a/ObservedEvolution.htm [... the conflict is resolved by noting that the earth is an "open system"] There is no conflict. |
