I just wanted to make that clear. The theory of evolution has been tested and proven many times. The above poster is probably misunderstanding abiogenesis with the theory of evolution. Any respectable scientist can't say that the theory of evolution is false, for they would have to prove that it is false, and scientifically nobody has done that, for if they had, then the theory of evolution would no longer exist.

Its not so much a question and answer as much as Bill Maher trying to provoke people to saying something, one way or another, for or against religion. Religion is always going to be a hot topic, so to speak, but it's clear what side of the fence Bill Maher is on and what his intent is for this "film", and its not to open a reasonable debate. And hey, thats his right, but don't try to hide it under the guise of intelligent discussion. But coming from the director of Borat, did anyone REALLY expect this to have any actual merit? And the thing is, the scientific community IS divided when it comes to evolution. I think its just as much a leap of "faith" to say that a god created everything as it is to say that humans evolved from some primordial ooze, to a monkey and BAM! you have homo sapiens. But I suppose thats another debate for another time. .. Heres the thing that bothers me.
