Well, first off, more than 50% percent of the world are either Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, or Muslim, which means the majority of the world does worship God. Get your facts straight, Alphaflame.
TrueHeaT, I'm sorry you think marriage means nothing. Believe me, to believe as much is to believe that no relationship means anything.
As for evolution, it's scientific theory. Almost as good as fact. I believe it wholeheartedly.

Dante, TrueHeaT isn't saying marriage means nothing. He's simply stating in mathematical terms that marriage != love
you can have loveless marriages, and you can certainly have love for someone without being married. Premarital sex does not make you a sinner or anything, it's simply two people showing their care for one another. Why do you need to have a legal document issued by the government? It's not like it's even issued by the church. It's completely and utterly worthless.
On the topic of organized religion. Religion is and always has been a method to keep the populus under control. Look back to Roman times. If the emperor said that the god of harvest was angry, the people would go out and tend to their crops and make offerings to the temple. Or in Egypt, where the Pharoah was recognized as coming from the heavens. The Bible is simply propaganda designed to control people. It's meant to influence their beliefs, whether you like it or not. I believe in God, because somehow the universe got here, by one way or another.
As for evolution, I doubt you can disprove it, G_Yoshi. It's been shown so many times to be true. Trying to prove it false would be like trying to prove that spontaneous generation is true. Even the first organisms on the Earth had to be constructed by nucleic acids forming proteins and DNA/RNA strands.
If you choose to believe in the Bible, then I see nothing wrong with that. If you are, however, eluding yourselves, and there is no life after death, then I will feel sorry that you have wasted your time here on Earth.
