lmao fossils? There were several dozen nephilim. You expect it to be practical to expect fossils? You also assume that they would have to have been left in a condition in which fossils could be made. Most likely they would have been incinerated, not left in a field intact.


I see you have been reading your evilbible.com. Please source this statement.


Remember that next time you tout the old "universe is infinite" trash, lol.


Exactly. Why? This suggests exactly what Scripture will tell you -- that the knowledge of God is innate in all of us. That is, belief in God is our "default." It is the distancing of ourselves from religion that occurs as our beliefs change, not the opposite. We maintain that the very first homo sapiens (cave-men and what have you) had a religion. This is why.


Well done, you've pinpointed the one difference between science and religion. That's why religion is a faith and not (completely) a science.


Forgive me if I was unable to comprehend the point you are trying to establish here (I am not from an English-speaking nation) but if this answers your question -- my parents are of a different faith than me. I am a non-denominational Christian and come from a Catholic culture. I openly reject Catholicism as primitive, pagan and deceptive. Why? Because like a certain population of the human race I was born with the ability to think for myself. I already gave my reasoning in my original post for why I believe what I believe, and there are many more reasons I haven't given. Note that none of them have to do with the culture I was raised in.

Many people simply follow the faith of their parents. That's fine, what's wrong with that? To say that they should not believe what they believe, for the reasons they do, is oppressive and none of your business whatsoever.


Yes, that's embarrassing. Not because I fear being associated with those people; but because it shows how few people of any "faith" actually read the will of their God with any comprehension whatsoever. To insist that the Earth is 6,000 years old shows only absolute ignorance -- not just of science, but of the Scripture they allegedly believe in, because it never states this whatsoever.


Got Google? The fact that you haven't actually read any scientific evidence for Creationism only shows that you have once again not even minimally researched the concepts you're arguing against.


Interesting, because if you ask me, the devil still isn't in the Bible. Satan is, and he is the ruler of Hell, which is of course ultimate nothingness; as such, he is the ruler of nothing. Not the horned, bellowing fiend that was invented by medieval Catholics.

So has money, food, resources, recognition, and even science. When one wishes to control masses, they use what is called a scapegoat -- I thought this was common knowledge. Furthermore, don't blame a peaceful, beautiful text for the follies of corrupt politicians. They have nothing to do with each other.

And what, from a religious perspective, was wrong with the crusades? 200 years prior, muslims ravaged the East and destroyed and defiled Christian monuments, artifacts and holy sites. The crusade was to take them back. Oh, how horribly evil that is.

Where the actual evil comes in has nothing to do whatsoever with religion, and everything to do with personal gain. Thousands of rich merchants and nobles from all over the world -- many of them openly non-Christian -- took caravan with the crusades that they might take the opportunity of war in the East to take resources, land, and lives. Now, hundreds of years later, poor historians (not naming any names) conveniently can not tell the difference.

Go for it, this is always interesting. Not exactly original, but interesting.


Yes, as Scripture will tell you.

We've been waiting for that day for many decades now.

I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like they can not fully grasp Pascale's Wager.

Yes it does. It states that we are in a similar form to that which we become after we die. From God's presence into life, and then finally we return to it when we have completed our destiny here.

Hahaha. Could God heat up a burrito so hot that He himself could not eat it! You have truly blown my mind.

Except that now we return back to my original point -- that you are facing a serious fallacy if you truly think you can define God (the creator of all science and logic and all that is bound to it) with the extremely limited logic we have been exposed to in our minutely short time here on Earth. The main flaw in this question (letting alone that it is simply a loaded question that has no actual relative meaning) is that it is limited by nothing but the words in which it is asked. The answer is neither yes OR no. Or, more accurately, it is both. Yes, God could create a box which He couldn't look into, and then look into it. You speak of science and how it is admittedly limited -- what makes you think now that your relatively nil understanding of science and logic on Earth can be extended to the most powerful and ultimate entity ever to exist?


Man you really did it now D. He wont listen to a thing you say and he'll repeat his unsubstantiated tripe over and over again in book form! Good luck. I suggest taking a break and counting to 10 every once in a while so as not to put your hand through your monitor in an aggravatingly inept attempt to choke his ass.:2 cents:
 
That question doesn't make any sense. I could ask you "What is north of the north pole?" and since there is no logical answer therefore the north does not exist.

You have made some good points in this thread, more so than anyone else (especially that moron roronoa3000) on the side of religion. You have avoided some of the more difficult questions but you have made some good points along the way.

The truth is I am not completely against the idea of a God creature, nor do I believe for a second that man is anywhere near the top of the list when it comes to intelligent races in the universe.

I just find that the human race, for an "intelligent species" is generally a very shallow thinking race, and I enjoy debates which force us to delve more deeply into what most people just take for granted as fact (God, the big bang theory, the Kardashians, whatever).

If I were to have been arguing on the side of religion in a debate I would have used many of the insightful points pornophile has made here. Bravo sir.

Now as to my actual point of view on God.. Does he exist? I personally find the idea that he does very difficult to accept, even silly. Could he possibly exist? Absolutely. It is hard for me to say this with out referring to other mystic beings like dragons and killer aliens and the like, as I think it is equally possible that they exist as well right along with God.

Furthermore I certainly do not see organized religion as a helpful tool in modern society, only as an intangible excuse for blindly committing atrocities.

I have never killed anyone in the name of atheism. How many have died in the name of Catholicism, Islam, and the other religions throughout history? How many innocents have been slaughtered?

I may not have changed anyone's mind about whether or not God exists. Some people need the idea of a Big Boss to make them selves feel like there is a reason to go on living, or what ever.. self esteem issues, I don't know. But if I have at least made people who blindly believe because they were told to think about and seriously consider the fact that God and all the associated tales might in fact not be real, regardless of what religious sect or cult they belong to, I believe I have done my part.

If you Flame people but insist you do not Flame people does that mean there's no such thing as flaming or does it just mean that it doesn't apply to said non-flaming Flamer because said non-flaming Flamer doesn't have to answer to anyone because there is no such thing as flaming according to said flaming non-Flamer?
 
If God wanted to, could He could create a box which He couldn't look into? Most people who believe in God believe that, by definition, God is omnipotent. There is no answer to this question that doesn't imply that there is something God cannot do, which goes against the very definition of said omnipotent being.

That question doesn't make any sense. I could ask you "What is north of the north pole?" and since there is no logical answer therefore the north does not exist.

I'm not sure I worded this question correctly to get my point across.. or it just went right over your head. It may however have been my fault so i will try to clarify;


om·nip·o·tent /ɒmˈnɪpətənt/[om-nip-uh-tuhnt]
–adjective
1. almighty or infinite in power, as God.
2. having unlimited authority or power.
–noun
3.an omnipotent being.
4.the Omnipotent, God.


If God is omnipotent, which as I have been taught is part of if not the entire definition of Him, then there is nothing He can not do.

Assuming this is true, then we can demonstrate that an omnipotent being, by definition, can't exist.

If he can create a box which he can't look into, then there is something he can't do, which in this case would be looking into the box. He would therefore not be omnipotent.

If He can't create a box of this nature, then this still shows that He is not omnipotent, since there is still something he can't do.

Either way, by this argument He can't be omnipotent, AKA all-powerful. If he is not all powerful, then by definition he is not God. If nobody is all powerful, then nobody is God. If nobody is god, then there is no god.


People may try to get out of this by saying god is outside of reality, but that is simply a cop-out of an argument which can't be beaten from the other point of view.

Ok a simple "wrong" would have done just fine but, ah...

Seriously though it's as I suspected. You have nothing to say.

I bet I can tell you why this guy in the vid has a cheating wife though (and yes I am aware he is just an actor, but there are really people like this).. he just screams out "I physically beat anyone who is weaker than me if they disagree with me, and if I can't do that I just avoid the topic all together by calling them an idiot."

' "and if I can't do that I just avoid the topic all together by calling them an idiot." '
at least that is what you have just done by posting this vid.

As I suspected, nothing you say is ever relevant. I'm an atheist too, but it's embarrassing to be on the same side as you. Your arguments are just fundamentally retarded. I wish you would stop posting. You're really giving the rest of us a bad name. People are going to think that all non-believers are dumbasses...

If God created the box He can't look into then He already knows what's in the fuckin box! Whatever was there when He made the fucking thing. :thefinger

Say some asshole puts something in the box later then asks God to tell him what it was. God doesn't need to look into the goddamn box to know He just needs to look into the asshole that put something there.

WHAT'S IN THE FUCKIN BOX!!!!!

It still implies that he can't look into the box. I didn't ask if he knows whats in the box or if he needs to look into the box, I asked if he can look into it. If he can't, he is still not all powerful, regardless of whether or not he can find out whats in it through other means.

I don't necessarily need to look into a car battery to find out whats inside. I can Google it or just ask somebody who does know. This does not mean I am all powerful.

Funny, I haven't seen any arguments from you, just quips. I think we know who the dumb ass is..
It is embarrassing to me to have to say I am the same species as you.
Anyway stop trying to avoid the topic and stop trying to bait me into flaming with you.

By the way I am not just making my arguments up, I am mostly paraphrasing from renowned philosophers to fit the current debate. It's a JAG thing I picked up in Law School. None of the men who came up with the original arguments are dumb asses, dumb ass. They are mostly highly paid think-tank workers and authors.
