It is less that I know I am right and more that I know you are wrong, your arguments all fail because they are based on the same, unproven, initial premise.LOL.... If you say so.......You, of course must be right.
......whoever you think you are.
That's just because you've remarkably low standards for proof, and yes ... the existence of a "God" does need evidence to be taken seriously, remember ... "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."I have all the proof I need.
God doesn't need to "prove" himself to anyone. You can take him or leave him...it's entirely up to you....Believe it or not.....
No ... earthquakes are the result of the movement of the Earth's crust. Deep valleys are not created, deep valleys are the result of erosional processes. Many parts of the ocean are kilometers deep, I've been there, have you? Mountains are cause by volcanic and ridge processes or the crumpling of crustal plates.
Faith is never a proof, look it up, it is quite the opposite ("strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.")
There's a classic cop-out. See: Debunking Christianity: How Could God Reveal Himself to Us?
“I suppose that one reason I have always detested religion is its sly tendency to insinuate the idea that the universe is designed with 'you' in mind or, even worse, that there is a divine plan into which one fits whether one knows it or not. This kind of modesty is too arrogant for me.”
You are right, I have nothing to worry about and you look like ...We must look like a bunch of moronic twits to people like yourself....but we don't care. At the end of the day, it's what we look like to God that counts. (1 Cor 1:18-25) If he doesn't exist...you have nothing to worry about.
Now there's that arrogance again.
But science is never "proven wrong." More advanced concepts replace less advanced ones and the texts are rewritten, unlike religion which is, when proven wrong, hung on the dilemma of either clinging childlike to that which is wrong, or shattering into tiny pieces ... stuck with an incorrect Bible and no way to fix it. Talk about ego without merit.Since he has not provided details about how or when he took action in the pre-historic past, I will wait on him to provide those details. When we have regained our mental capacity to the extent that we can all understand his methods, I am sure we will all be able to comprehend his methods and his wisdom. It appears for now, to be in the realms of the impossible to determine with any real certainty what took place at any given time...or how. Science is sure it has the answers up until the time that they are proven wrong, needing then to rewrite the textbooks. So we will wait and see, won't we?
(2 Thess 3:2) Hmmmm.....don't read the Bible I take it.
That's the Emperor's New Clothes, I'm not buying.It is to those who possess it.
No, that is not what I said at all......I said that without faith, God cannot exist in ones mind or heart....God's existence is not altered by whether I believe in him or not. He will prove his existence to all soon enough.
There is an argument that belief has an evolutionary basis. But that does not make what is believed real.
I am not a whole human being? I do not sense that anything is missing.
Hardly.You are destroying a strawman of your own making.
Can't say it's a major pastime ... it's rather a waste of time.1 Corinthians 8:1-3 "Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. But whoever loves God is known by God." (NIV)
1 Corinthians 8:1-3 "With regard to food sacrificed to idols, we know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. If someone thinks he knows something, he does not yet know to the degree that he needs to know. But if someone loves God, he is known by God." (NET)
1 Corinthians 8:1-3 "Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him." (NKJV)
Weird translations you have never seen?
I must admit that I know little of your beliefs, so I have to look them up. Here's what I find ... it's damned near prophetic:
Now you've given me good reason to kick you off my porch.
Frankly I think you're nuts.
Something you should learn before you wander thorough other peoples' neighborhoods advertising your beliefs to them:
Like I said, I left Christendom a long time ago because of those very things. Doctrines that have been proven wrong but they continue to 'cling child-like' to those teachings, even though the Bible disproves them.
You can argue with Lilliputian glee the fine points of the book you both read, I say a plague on both your ignorances.
I was not talking about "that kind of Christianity" (though it applies), I was talking about your kind of Christianity, which also fits.
You ALWAYS will. That kind of faith is foolish. I know that much of what I "know" today will change and I revel in that.
Science has cause no destruction, we leave that to the religionists and the engineers.Where will it get me putting faith in science when it has caused more destruction on this planet than religion ever knew how to?
That is not surprising.
Something you should learn before you wander thorough other peoples' neighborhoods advertising your beliefs to them:
It is kind of catchy.
Please explain. I'd love to hear about how I'm a social Darwinist.
If I thought you knew anything at all about evolution I'd take your comment seriously, but seeing as I don't . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
