    If Yule is on December 21, why are people saying that Yule is Xmas?

    This is not correct. Yule comes from Scandinavian languages, Jul, from Jólablót, a midwinter "blot" which was a ritual offering and marking of winter solstice in Norse culture. That is where the world Yule comes from. Christian tradition has adopted it, the Norse king Håkon Den Gode (Haakon...

    Evolution of Human

    Hearing can be used for other things than hearing what people say to you. For example... hearing predators or prey?

    Evolution of Human

    Where in Gen 11:8 does it say 10k years?

    Evolution of Human

    Not all of nature is unconscious. I'm part of nature, and I'm conscious. But yeah, the Universe and nature itself is not conscious in the sense that evolution of speech and hearing is planned. It is an unguided process. Is it therefore random or a coincidence? Nope. There is an element of...

    There is more then enough evidence to prove God exists.

    The Kalam Cosmological Argument is based on two highly questionable premises, so although it is logically coherent, the conclusion is questionable too. And even if the conclusion is correct, it is useless, because it tells us nothing about the existence of any deity or anything like that. It...

    Any evidence for or against Noah's flood?

    If he had 11 wives and only 4 at one time, did he divorce them or did they die?

    Mary is the most important figure in Christianity

    Ah, lady with glasses on YouTube says that this is how it is, so therefore it must be so! What makes her a source of credible information? Or what makes the Bible or the Pope or anyone a credible source for information on what The Maker Of The Universe wants us to do?

    Why are there still Monkeys?

    Once there was a species. Let's call this species X. For each baby born, there is a small element of randomness in its DNA. This causes variations between individuals (that's why not every child with common parents are identical). Then, those individuals that have a higher chance of surviving to...

    Why are there still Monkeys?

    Having a higher-level debate about evolution will be quite difficult when the simple basics are not established for some of those debating it.

    Why are there still Monkeys?

    It seems so, as you seem to think that if something is a theory, it cannot be claimed to be a fact. And as you seem to think that the cause or "driving force" or mechanics behind evolution is not a well understood fact.

    Why are there still Monkeys?

    The theory of evolution is a scientific fact. This includes random mutation and natural selection. All this is included in the theory of evolution. Playing the "it's only a theory"-card is getting old. A scientific theory is a well-established set of facts that have withstood numerous tests...

    Why are there still Monkeys?

    Yes it is. If we are talking about the scientific theory about evolution of life on Earth, the point is that it is not guided. Twisting that theory into accepting guidance from some intelligent being is to twist it away from the scientific theory of evolution.

    Evolution of Human

    It seems almost like you believe that gaining the ability to learn and thing is an "on/off-switch" that either you got it or you don't. This is not the case. Humans are not the only animals with capacity to learn, and while there is a lot of debate on how to detect if a being is thinking and a...

    Why are there still Monkeys?

    By this statement, either you do not agree with the scientific theory of evolution by random mutation and natural selection and instead introduce divine hocus pocus into it, or you do not understand said theory.

    The "something can't come from nothing" argument

    And yet you believe in a God outside of this world who preexisted it and created it?

    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    And that is a serious credibility problem.

    What came before the Big Bang?

    Before the Big Bang there was God. Before the Big Bang there was no time, as time is a property of the Universe. So before the beginning of time there was God. But the concept of "before" is dependent on time existing. So saying that before the Big Bang (and therefore before the beginning of...

    God is all-inclusive, absolute reality - which includes Satan.

    So there's nothing besides God. Everything is part of God? So my mobile phone is part of God! Fecis is part of God. Satan is part of God. Genetic disease is part of God. Sin is part of God. Evil is part of God. Wind is part of God. In other words, God is just a metaphore for the Universe, not...

    It is possible to erase sin from human nature

    So basically, we're his untrained, involuntary, owned, unpaid workforce? There's a word for that.

    The "something can't come from nothing" argument

    Great! Then we cut out the part where God is said to have created it. :)
