    Why the burden of proof lies on God ?

    Yeah, but why is proof necessary for anyone other than the 100% er's? Seems a personal thing to me.

    Genetic coding and the human experience ...

    I read an article about adhd and how it it may have potentially developed. While foraging for food, the berries from a bush were picked until they became more difficult to locate, at which point the persons moved on to the next bush to pick berries. The alternative would be to continue picking...

    Why would proof be necessary?

    Why the burden of proof lies on God ?

    Is it a burden to prove at all? Should God require that existence exists and we acknowledge Gods existence as God or is it even necessary for anyone to prove anything about God at all? Should it be necessary and if so, why? Seems a moot point to make and even more so to require a burden of...

    Extending life beyond the normal. Should we be doing it?

    I looked att my arms yesterday at 53 years old. 4 years ago they were well formed with no stretch or wrinkle present. This isn't true today, so I thought to myself "I gotta start working out again". 2 miles walk daily isn't enough anymore, so I've decided to grab a 4 lb hammer and beat on...

    Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?

    Something to that effect, only it's more about survival than just sexuality. I suggest our natural predisposed and preferred choices play a role in the natural process of mate selection. I'm sure there's more to it than just this, but Darwinian evolution doesn't appear to be racist. I haven't...

    Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?

    Natural preferences equate to natural selection. I prefer peach milkshakes over strawberry, but I like strawberry milkshakes also.

    Could those angels who rebelled in heaven have received salvation?

    The story I've heard told was about the honor of humans and those fallen who refused to extend honor. I'm unsure why the refusal, unless it's about having too great a sense of superiority. The humility association with the fall due to the refusal would set them at odds with humans. Humans...

    Could those angels who rebelled in heaven have received salvation?

    If we look at the heavens as the throne region of God, then deduct from this area lower more base aspects of experience, then it's difficult to not acknowledge a fallen nature to some extent. I view the throne region where the Seraphim cherubim and thrones are located to be the universe and...

    What would happen if every human being didn't have sexual feelings for other humans ?

    A hustler letters publication was sitting on a shelf one day, so I decided to purchase it. After taking it to the counter, a woman approaches to ring it up for me. She looks at the magazine, smiles and with almost a sigh of relief, looks at me and states "Finally, a peer". I think the...

    Why we don't have free will using logic

    The influence that determines choice would be based on our experiences. This in and of itself would suggest determinism.

    Why we don't have free will using logic

    I may realize this, or I may not, but to get back to point ... Free will is determined by many factors, which equates to determinism. You had suggested I took a very different position, and I simply informed you of the correct position as I understand it. In other words, you misrepresented my...

    Why we don't have free will using logic

    Yeah, it's ok. You should read my post first next time, though.

    Why we don't have free will using logic

    I assumed you read my post. My apologies.

    Why we don't have free will using logic

    Interesting that you would target me as the receiver of your thoughts, given that I'm a determinist and view free will as a nearly moot concept. What I do acknowledge is the process in which we develop our decision-making abilities. This happens over time and through the many experiences that...
