text: how can people belive in god and expect people to take you serious? i hate when people say that you have no proof that there is no god, cant you see thats just it we dont have to prove anything,  this is the same as opening your hand with nothing in it and saying you have to prove that there is nothing there.  i think science has completly put religion to shame but people have been brainwashed for so long that they cant see or they have been practicing their relgion for so long that they are afraid to admit they were wrong and living a lie. does any one agree? because of evidence like the chirality of all life protines i don't understand how someome with any inteligence at all wouldn't believe...   jim
