    How do you detect "design"?

    But isn't the point that design implies a Designer who has made the designed thing by providing (a) intention (b) planning (c) and consequent execution of the thing? And that the number of examples from reality supporting the creo "intelligent design" argument is zero? So that all known...

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    For a start. like you he never defines what real thing ─ what entity with objective existence ─ he intends to denote when he says "God". So it continues to be the case that the only manner in which gods are known to exist is as concepts, notions, things imagined, in individual brains.

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    You mean, nothing of the kind is there. If I didn't know you were a Christian and that Christians never lie, dissemble or pretend they're right when they're wrong, I'd say you were pretending. The Babylonians were the major Semitic culture of Mesopotamia in the relevant period, with cultural...

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    That reminds me ─ you haven't got back to me with a description of a real god ─ one who exists in the world external to the self, whom we know about through our senses (as distinct from the hundred of thousands if not millions of gods who only exist, largely by acculturation, as concepts...

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    As you know, even into the 19th century the "argument from design" as a "proof" of God's existence was in general use. And as you know, the discovery of evolution by Wallace, Darwin and others replaced superstition with knowledge ─ which is why Darwin is Public Enemy No 1 with creos. The idea...

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    You STILL haven't quoted me the part of the bible that said the ground sank. Which is not surprising since the bible says the waters rose. But you appear unable to face your actual problem. You don't think eg the Babylonians thought that the earth was flat &c? On the basis of what reliable...

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    If the question refers to a God / god who exists only as a concept, notion, thing imagined in an individual brain, then yes, thousands if not millions of gods exist. If the question refers to a real "God" ─ one with objective existence, one found in reality, the world external to the self which...

    Necessity, Chance, Design, and you asked You overlooked the one you rely on ─ Magic.

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    And you know that how? When we've cleared that up, we can move on to a meaningful description of this being.

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    You haven't quoted me the part of the bible that says so, or indeed anything vaguely resembling that. The bible specifically says the waters rose, and covered the tallest mountains. Nor does the bible ever suggest that compression occurred such as you suggest. If you disagree then it's time to...

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    Why is it a silly interpretation? First, as history shows, it conforms with the general cosmological understandings of its time and place (just as the writings of our times conform to ours). Second, if the cosmology of the bible is correct according to the scientific understandings of 2024...

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    A gentle reminder that you haven't told me the definition of "God" that you're using. And how you know.

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    But you haven't told me how the space taken by your own imagined underground ocean was filled, preventing a net result of water no higher than previously. Quote me the part of the bible that says the land sank. Bet you can't ─ it isn't there. Your problem with net space remains unanswered...

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    What good reason do you have to believe that the bible is factual? Let alone that it is inerrant? It clearly says that the earth is flat, that the sun goes round it, that the earth is immovably fixed, and that's just for a start. Do you think those are accurate statements about reality?

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    I read it as I'd read any other ancient document, so I too am concerned with what it literally says (though having no biblical Hebrew myself, I'm reliant on expert translators ─ the RSV in particular). It certainly doesn't paint a very attractive picture of its god, but that makes it a valuable...
