    Logic as evidence for intelligent design

    Okay Sum I think I get the idea. I'm not sure your logic holds up though. There was no time, nor matter before the Big Bang. So far we agree. Where I question is the suggestion that the Big Bang came from nothing. We don't know that. We don't know what caused the singularity to pop into...

    Do Athiests have morals?

    Been awhile. Certainly cannot go back through all the posts of this topic. So maybe my question was answered. If so, would someone be kind enough to re-elaborate. My question is this. Why do some people think that a person without a religious upbringing must be amoral or immoral? What is so...

    Logic as evidence for intelligent design

    Sooooo. Nothingness by definition never existed, but once upon a time there was a nonexistent nothing that something came from. AND. There never was a time when there wasn't time though time started where time didn't exist. From my point of view, these are nonsensical sentences. You make a...

    if your girlfriends parents didn't give you their blessing to marry her

    I do not disagree with you KT, though I would add an addendum of sorts. Yes two mature adults should make their own decision. At the same time though, inter family relations cannot be just thrown aside. Most marriages end up having in-law issues of one form or another even when everything...

    What proof would you want

    Any discussion about what proof someone would accept that would have them believe in a God(s) is missing the point entirely. In my oh so humble opinion. (Hah!). God(s) are not defined by any sort of evidence of any kind. The belief in God(s) is a matter of faith, not proof. This is where I...

    Why choose atheism?

    'Kay. First off atheism really is not a religion. So if you are wanting to choose a religion, atheism is not an option. As to what can atheism offer you. Hate to put it this way, but that really matters on what you need to get out of it. Same answer for picking a religion. What is it you are...

    Pets are a Waste of Money

    For many of us, pets are our children. Those who understand this know precisely where I am coming from.

    Are we all related?

    Go back far enough and yes we are indeed all related. And I'm not just talking about human beings. Or even just primates. Or even just mammals. Or even just vertebrates. The reality is that every living thing that has ever lived on the planet is made up of strands of DNA (with a few very...

    If asked...

    To those who believe in the creationist argument that "if you weren't there to see it how can you know it happened", there is a question I would pose that I would be interested in your answer. It's not a trick question, promise. How would a creationist explain the following statements: A. There...

    The "something can't come from nothing" argument

    1Robin said "There are quite an array of creation story types and huge numbers of them have virtually no consistency with reality or even each other. Regardless the bible's among a very few have creation stories that are consistent with cosmology and detailed enough for that to mean anything."...

    Atheists who accept the theory of Evolution.

    What a bizarre question. What does one have to do with the other that would suggest to you that there was any sort of connection in the first place?

    Does Galileo owe the Pope an apology?

    To the OP. Your analogy is not quite comparable. The early church believed the earth was the center of the universe. I.E. the one single point which was earth. Inflation theory suggests that every point is at the center. Earth is but one of a gazillion points, and all are at the center...

    where are the miracles?

    On the opposite side of the question, where there ever any miracles? There seems to be a great conflict nowadays as to whether the Bible should be read as if it historically happened, or if it should be read as metaphors; the purpose behind the story being more important as the lesson rather...

    I ain't no physciscisk, but I knows what matters.

    Does anyone else have quirky mental moments? Cause sometimes after reading an article, my brain goes into this altered state and the result isn't always pretty. But it is pretty bizarre. I ain't no physciscisk, as I believe I have mentioned. But I read a fascinating article on cosmology and...

    The Search for Answers and Why It Matters.

    The meanderings of one Down-to-Earth Spiritualist. To the Theist, the Deist, the Atheist, what is your take. Is there a purpose to living? Or is it possible that beyond the skills necessary to survive, anything else is irrelevant. Indeed pointless. Anything else people have created to give...

    How is it not antichrist?

    Wellllll, at least it is a definite date. Not like Armageddon, which will be coming to a civilization near you any time now. Only it has been predicted to be coming to a civilization near you any time now for 2000 years, and they haven't gotten it right yet.

    Simulation of how the Universe Changed over 13 Billion Years

    'Kay Gehennaite. Since you have no use for science, obviously you don't have a smart phone, or a computer, or a hundred thousand other things that are available to the average person because of science. And if a doctor used a technology that exists only because of the science behind it, you...

    Science can say nothing about existence of God

    Good question! Here's another one. Is there a religion that has but one God? Christianity has God. Jesus, the Son of God, who is also God. Then there is the Holy Spirit - God as well. Many Christians venerate the Virgin Mary, pray to her for miracles, worship her. She seems to be a Christian...
