    An appeal for the logic of religious belief

    Nope. The universe always was and always will be. It transcends conceptualization in your laughable mammalian prefrontal cortex.

    An appeal for the logic of religious belief

    Well, I was not doing the anthropomorphizing. Penguino is the one who said that everything has a generator. He didn't say everything except God... By definition everything means everything. Yes, even those concepts (or um, approximations??) that conveniently "transcend conceptualization."...

    Evolution, the smoking gun for atheists

    Evolution has nothing to do with atheism. It is not some bastion of hope for atheists clinging to their world view. Atheism is more of a philosophical stance than a biological one, any claim that says otherwise is ludicrous. I was an evil "evolutionist" long before I renounced theism. When...

    The Science of Prayer

    It used statistical alpha correction for multiple comparisons. The famous (rather infamous) study by Byrd (one of the OP's links references the Byrd study) did not do this. It controlled for confounding variables. Unlike nearly all prayer/healing or even the more general faith/medicine...

    The Science of Prayer

    The most extensive ($2.4 million extensive) and least methodologically flawed study into the efficacy of intercessory prayer (IP) can be found in the American Heart Journal. (click the link for the abstract) It is especially significant for three reasons: 1. The main author, Dr. Herbert Benson...

    Does science prove the existence of god?

    I would be interested in this list of traits. If you don't want to continue with this argument I won't dispute your list, but I am interested for merely educational purposes. Or to state it more generally (thus eliminating your Santa problem): what traits does the concept of God have that...

    Does science prove the existence of god?

    Insofar as I can tell, the only unique attribute you are giving to God is that we have not fully traced back the origin of the concept? Is that correct? Argumentum ad populum doesn't make "God" any less faulty.

    Evolution: Do you see the resemblence

    Before derailing this thread into a debate on abiogenesis and the origin of life (which I'm sure many would be happy to do), I request on behalf of all the participants that you cede the points on evolution that you were wrong about. Be as specific as possible. The two topics are wholly...

    Evolution: Do you see the resemblence

    roli, What Willamena is saying here is that the reason why we just "seem so perfect" for our environment is due directly to the process of natural selection. It is in fact, additional evidence for evolution.
