'I have had problems with him all my life. Pretty much he wanted me to be a carbon copy of him, into sports, work hard with my hands, etc. So obviously we have not gotten along on that front. He is...
You didn't listen when I was talking to you before. Why would you start now? You can't move the goalposts when they have already been set in a previous post. The bible claims that all mankind came...
I already commented on speciation when I was talking about Noah and his ark. I am talking about evolution into a different kind of animal. Darwin's finches could have been hybrids. Scientists in...
I'd like to think I am too but I'd be fooling myself.
There is no magic bullet just like there is none for evolution. I really don't see why there is a problem here. People who believe in biblical prophesy believe that the question will ultimately be...
I thought we were talking about all the odd stuff that comes out of our box of cereal when we sit down to have breakfast. I never know what is coming out of there.
Empirically proving that god does not exist. Which is a possibility when more information is gathered. Well if you are talking about fewer assumptions if you simply assume that there is a God...
Not into alternate history that much but I think cool INTP kids is an oxymoron. Perhaps that could be an alternate history subject in itself. What would the world be like if INTPs were considered...
College experience for me= Do not study, speed read lessons, do a couple of problems to get the process down if absolutely necessary. Beat entire Golden Sun series while lectures are happening...
I already said my beliefs are not unfalsifiable. They just have not been empirically falsified yet. Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being...

It probably does to you yes. Why does is bother you what other people do with their time or how they feel? If they look down on you personally then avoid them. Yeah I can see the charms in...
I'm saying is all evidence leads to the truth. It is just not fully apparent what that truth is yet when it is and if it disagrees with what I believe then I will change viewpoints. Attacking...
No that is what the other guy did which I agree is stupid. But what it this mark of fusion? I did watch the video and it confused me. If it is not proven that fusion is possible because there is no...
Flew converted in like 2005 I think. Conversely I would be rather scared for my well-being if it came to the point of the government getting over-zealous and seeing goblins around every corner...
Honestly I was just trying to understand if you were blaming the bible as a whole for it or the people who do the deeds. I probably could have chosen my words better. At the beginning of the thread I...

I was trying to understand what you were meaning by your statement and now that I know I agree with you. I don't know how you could interpret my asking that question as twisting your statement...
I wondered what the hell got into 4chan with their obsession about it and I was mildly curious but now that I see the effect it is having on Alddous I am really scared. I think I am going to stock up...
Copper in health - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Certain metals can have health effects. Colloidal silver was used as a cure all remedy until the introduction of penicillin. Silver has...
Human misapplication and brutality then is the fault of humans then would you agree? And as for Flew he was pretty old. Maybe his energy level had something to do with that.
I already posted the scripture that said that the old covenant was invalid. There are many others in the new testament but I am not going to bother posting them unless you give me a good reason to....
For the video I have to say I did not say that the DNA is not similar. What is did say is that no one can explained how or where it happened and so saying that it DID happen is a supposition. You may...
Hannah The best palindrome ever :)
What is interesting to me is that with all of the genetic evidence at hand there has still not been a definitive link made to humans. And by definitive I mean when, where, how, etc. LOL I...
Indeterminate how old the earth is. Definitely MUCH more than 6,000 years. I explained how I reconcile this before but wont now cause you told me not to. Adam and Eve were real according to my belief...
Not according to the new testament which says the old is for historical value and invalid so I am fine at the moment. If you want to view the old as valid go right ahead but honestly except for it's...
I only said that to fire an equally inane comment back at souljurn who claimed that the other atrocities showed how religion in general was dangerous. Not the diseased mutations that these people...
I am reading about the popes right now. You really should too its like reading a horror novel. I think of all Christianity the hierarchy of the catholic church has about the very least to do with the...
Have you ever heard of eugenics? This is not a belief problem but a human problem. Please give me an example. If we take what peerless says to be true we can't judge someone on their ethos...
That last paragraph is an assumption on your part. I am not scoring any points. Merely giving my point of view. And the uncertainty does not just stretch into the past. Let me give a modern example...
Brevik didn't do what he did for a biblical reason either. He said he wanted to bring back the Knight's Templar which were a group of some of the most bloodthirsty people ever specifically picked out...
Hitler is debatable. From my research it seems like he was trying to bring back the culture of the Goths and the alliance with the catholic church was merely political. He wanted the bible to be mein...
I love monty python and weird Japanese game shows. My favorite book series growing up was Discworld and that is pretty whimsical.
I was really sensitive when I was younger and got my heart broke at just about anything but as time went on I gained a tougher skin and now it takes a nuclear bomb blast to penetrate my emotional...
Remember Stalin and Mao? Yep no harm in saying there is no god either.
[URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils] I created a list of fossils that had been faked according to news sources as well. I will let you look for it. As to the others...
Refuted it how? I break the old covenant every day almost. If you think it is still in effect then I'm in a lot of trouble. Man you are a brick wall. I am done with you. Already explained...
Okay where is the evidence that you have that God does not exist? If this is indeed a valid analogy then there would be empirical evidence not based upon theory that God does not exist. Since God's...
I commented on this already. The Old Covenant only has historical value for today. Jesus was speaking to the Jews who were still under the old covenant because he was not dead yet. The Old Covenant...
Where is the harm in believing?
As you have pointed out before people did not know the depth of scientific information we know now. This is not a freaking technical manual. The point is the bible is not saying that the earth is...
I took an evening off last night. That was really fun. Okay that is a given for science. I was equating science with atheism which is obviously wrong on my part. I agree I was wrong...
Comment on the old testament laws that are still valid the sabbath is totally invalidated in the new covenant. As is the death penalty. And I already said I don't believe in hell and gave biblical...
Okay I have thought about what you are saying for a while. Please correct me if I have come to the wrong conclusion. I guess you are saying that other belief systems are differentiated from science...
Make lemonade. Add rum. Drink.
The deal is to follow them to the best of your ability. Sin is taken into account. No one can be perfect. And Jesus established a new covenant which invalidated some old covenant laws that were...
The same argument could be made for any other belief system you care to mention. For instance if a lot of things are left unexplained how can it be attributed to evolution when it is a nebulous...
Calling attention to it probably won't help.
Yes but they have not been found yet. Also for the imprecise world argument consider this: Elements vital for our life (particularly carbon, oxygen, and iron) could not exist were it not for the...'
