Why assume that because something is useful it was designed to have use? That's akin to asking how we ended up here - we'd be asking the same question if we evolved on a planet on the other side of the universe. That's just the way things are.

Then you need to get out and meet more people.

Athiests (this one anyway) don't believe that the Bible is any more than a collection of stories, myths, legends whathaveyou. I have nothing against such a collection, I love a good read.

What we (I) object to is being told that it is any more important than any other book, and that without our acceptance of its contents as true!, that we are incapable of knowing right from wrong, good from evil, as though only they, with their 'insider knowledge' are capable of living good, happy, compassionate, fulfilling lives. They wont accept that there are multiple paths to the same destination. They are on the one and only right path. The rest of us are off to some place they call Hell.

By all means, believers should be able to believe whatever they want, evidence or no, but for them to insist that there is a case for teaching their superstitions as though they have some sort of scientific merit is ridiculous.

Water is ace. Especially when its salty and moving. And because water is one of the few things that moves pressure waves through itself at 'human' speeds it allows me to do stuff like this....

And I'm allowed to post that because its post #4k.

So GFY!

If the universe can have goals, who's to say that the universe isn't some type of higher power. I'm of course not saying that water proves God's existence, but it certainly doesn't disprove it.

I do think that deep down, all religions are essentially the same, just different paths to the same destination.

Oh, Pantheism. Okay. I'm not saying it can't, but you're saying that it can. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Again, the onus is on the one making the claim. Not on the one refuting it.


To claim the Universe has some kind of conciousness requires you to do some kind of research to find empirical evidence that this is the case. Kind of like every other claim that has ever been made by every other human in the history of the world.

edit: Also to quote Pierre-Simon Laplace when asked by Napoleon where god was in his model of the Universe: "I had no need of that hypothesis".

No one has yet provided the connection between personal opinions/beliefs and the ability to do one's job. I find it ironic that you'll fight for homosexuals to be able to work in places, arguing that what they feel and believe has no effect on their capability to work, yet you'll turn around and claim that I'm somehow not fit to be in the military based on my feelings and opinions. The same contradiction that I busted Belkira on.

You guys never cease to amaze me....

Are you a professional idiot? Yet again I was going to make the connection and I literally deleted the sentence, telling myself that it would just give me an additional post to explain it. You really aren't as smart as you think.

Simply stating that my belief is "stupid" doesn't make it stupid. I can say "It's stupid to be gay" does that make it true?

If you truly believe your statement, then explain how I'm "not an intelligent person" WITHOUT mentioning any of my opinions,beliefs or views on topics. Go

*You were unable to explain why I was a f**ktard about homosexuality when I didn't say anything negative about it. So, I'll like to see you explain this one. Then again, I'm sure you'll just ignore it just like you did everything else.

Its not stating that your belief is stupid. What's stupid is you. The thought processes you present to us take leaps and bounds in logic and twist truths in ways that boggle. Your beliefs aren't stupid, your reasons for them are. And that shows your level, or lack, of intelligence.

You can't prove that God doesn't exist as you would be proving a negative. Someone arguing for ID/Creationism needs to prove that said Creator does exist and designed life.

Maybe in order to teach it as science in schools they would need to prove it, but they don't need to prove it to believe it.

Well, no. If evidence was required to believe stuff, the world would be a very different place. That's neither here nor there towards passing it off as science in the classroom.

I'm not saying that water proves God exists, in fact I said it doesn't prove or disprove it. I just was raising an interesting point and wanted other opinions on it. I don't mean to imply that it is evidence of god though, so I apologize if you took it that way.

Almalieque wrote:

My entire counter to your "we're animals" argument is that there are differences between animals and humans regardless if you consider humans as animals or not. You countered that humans are apes, disregarding that distinction, implying that we are animals, great apes to be exact. So, by baboons being gay, it's natural for humans to be gay or something to that effect.

Well, I simply turned your statement around to say "oh, apes are humans?". Obviously you don't believe that. So, if it doesn't work both ways, then that means that there are not equal and there exist a difference between the two. In other words, just because something is natural with an ape or baboon, doesn't mean it's natural with humans because we aren't the same thing! Else, you would have agreed to the "apes are humans".


I already explained that to you. Just because it's natural for a cheetah to run at incredible fast rates, doesn't make it natural for a house cat to do the same because they are both cats. They are two different animals.

So, if I missed your mark, then what was the relevance in mentioning homosexuality in nature?

Your inability to follow a process doesn't make me stupid either, but to be fair, specifically name me a thought process that is "stupid" and we can discuss it.
