    The Watchmaker Revisited

    A Primitive Alien? Cool. The Science Folk vs. the Religious Folk sure seem to get all het up about humorous assumptions. And y'all completely ignore the Alien (probably because he has no legal right to be here...). So? Nu? Why assume the dude is "primitive?" It takes a very discerning mind to...

    Is God really THE god?

    You suggested the Earth would be "much more healthy left on its own." As Man is the only force not leaving Earth "on its own," this suggests that the Earth is a Something that would be better off without Man. For you to dissect that response on my part appears to refute your supposition that...

    Is God really THE god?

    I need to focus on single points in order to discuss. The Earth is a rather complex organism. By your lights, the Earth must be as healthy as it can be BECAUSE of Man - this "accidental animal" which must be part of the Earth's accidental evolution. This would be more logical than the Earth...

    Is God really THE god?

    Okay. As far as I know, left on its own, Everything tends to become less ordered; more disordered; it decays. I don't understand how people can look at complex systems from the realm of physics; matter; energy; etc. to the realm of biology; life; cells; humans; etc. and presume that it all just...

    Is God really THE god?

    Well, thanks for responding. However, I don't really understand your response. What do you "deduce?" How? Why do think G-d; et al, is less probable as we discover more? Perhaps "random" is the wrong word. It would appear to me that something must either be accidental; happening purely by...

    Is God really THE god?

    What is "the opposite" in your case? Seriously, I'd love to know. Do you deduce that there is no Conscious Creator; G-d; etc.? Do you deduce that everything is just random chance with no meaning or purpose? Or something else?

    Is God really THE god?

    Observation of the World around you; of the stars, the sun, the moon; observation of yourself; of other people; of animals; of plants; of technology... Analysis of these observations - of your thoughts; your emotions; how you move; how your body works.... Then, deduce.

    The chances of being right when it comes to religion.

    Because I view the Source and the History. The oldest extant Faith that has the longest record of process would seem to be the one to examine first. If one were to find that the largest, most influential religions in the world were offshoot sects of this Faith, then one might examine it...

    What do you 'do' to understand God?

    Yes; yes; no; no; yes..... I look to History to verify the Truth of being a Jew. Without G-d; there would be no Jews. (No Christians; Muslims; or Hindus - and all of the religions that stem from the Vedic Age - either but, that's another story) I look to the miracles of my life and of This...

    Islam or Judaism

    We all come with the baggage of our lives in our points of view. So - as for me - I am an ("ultra") Orthodox Jew; 13th generation American; "Right Wing Conservative Republican;" who was brought up as a very well churched Episcopalian Christian and who studied and practiced many different forms...

    The world is being taken over by fruitcakes. What's an appropriate response?

    Depostism; fascism; military rule; etc., is not the same as nationalism.

    Islamic anger

    Uh.... Project much? Dear one - I am an ("ultra") Orthodox Torah observant black hat wearing born again Jew! I try not to denigrate anyone's religion unless they insist on picking a fight with me. In my humble opinion, hard core believing American Christians are the best friends a Jew could...

    Islamic anger

    Don't debate religion... Most hard core believers, including secularists and Leftists, tend to get testy when you deny that their beliefs are valid.

    What's God's Big Hangup With Homosexuality?

    Sure. IMHO, homosexuality is anti-life. G-d favors Life; Reproduction; and the very real struggle that Man and Woman have to endure to "become One" and create a family. Being gay is the easy way out. Men have no problems dealing with all of the intimate details and kinks of how to please other...

    What is the Alt-Right?

    And invented basket of people designed to slander Donald Trump; Republicans; Conservatives; and anyone else the lying media hates.

    Donald Trump is USA president

    This is all so cute. It's like going back in time and seeing people get all silly over a non existent future. Are y'all still full of despair; doom and gloom, because the Donald is the President elect? So far, he appears to be doing a damn fine job (If you happen to be a Conservative Republican...

    Why did the Israel's neighbors attack it in May 1948?

    I find this interesting. Do you have a map or some other indication of "By the 1800s it had firmly established borders and a population of about 3/4 million?"

    It's not about terrorists, it's about theocracy

    You really believe that? Why? How? It's silly. You think that Muslims and Arabs slaughtering each other by the hundreds of thousands recently and by the millions over the last 100 years - is a result of the Cold War? You think the conquest and slaughter of the Arabian Peninsula by the tribe of...

    It's not about terrorists, it's about theocracy

    Going backwards... Yes. The practices you state are a crime against G-d and Man. "Backward"? Not really. Barbarous might be a better description. There are cruel barbarians all over planet Earth - from the suites of the very wealthy to the ghettos of the very poor and everything in between...

    It's not about terrorists, it's about theocracy

    I don't understand. Do you believe that there is NO description to describe Muslim Indonesians who do not believe that Muslims committed 9/11?
