Quote from ªbominable': “@Lukla So then, can you answer some questions? 1- Does evolution give a reasonable explanation for the creation of life?” No. Evolution doesn't deal with the creation of life. That's abiogenesis. Quote from ªbominable': “ 2- You say you are a Christian, and that you believe in evolution. Lets say both God exists AND evolution is true. Why then would there be a need for a God or for creation, since it would have just happened anyway?” For one, if anything, the only real e…

I don't think that's quite what he meant by amoeba being created in the image of God... Regardless, I read your post wrong. My apologies.

Quote from Katie9193: “Um I was referring to the fact that humans have evolved over centuries. And we aren't the only species that evolved (he wasn't limited to creating just humans). I'd be stupid to argue with evidence that has already been found. But to say that our particular species evolved from an amoeba is ridiculous. Sorry but no...” I'll basically be stating the obvious here, but humans didn't evolve from amoeba. Anatomically modern humans evolved from archaic homo sapiens; we then evol…

Quote from Christopher: “I wasn't quite sure about that. And I wasn't trying to imply that God created us in the image of microorganisms. It seems to me (from the little knowledge I have of the Bible) that humans did just magically appear on the Earth as we are today, unless I am mistaken. Does the Bible even mention evolution happening? What I was trying to get at is it seems odd to me that someone can believe in God creating us and evolution at the same time.” Many Biblical scholars are in agr…

Quote from Christopher: “The whole thing with Christians believing in evolution. Okay, but what about God creating us in his image? By what you're saying, God instead created us in the image of an ameba, then miraculously evolved into humans. I personally believe you either believe in cosmological events such as the big bang and biological events such as evolution or you believe in God creating the universe. I personally don't see how those two can get along together. For the record, I'm one who…

Quote from Katie9193: “Well I personally have a hard time believing that the complexity of our universe just "happened".” It didn't just "happen." It took billions of years. Quote from genie-kenza: “OF COURSE god exists,if god did not exist which could create this GREAT world?” That's sugar coating it, big time. Not everything in this world is perfect. Not by a long shot.

Quote from DamnImGood: “Unless you think the Cold War and everything that spawned from it was a huge conspiracy, too.” *Cough* New World Order *cough*

Quote from Stephaniene: “God is real. So obviously I believe in my religion and not in all of the science theories like Big Bang, Evolution. They don't even have enough evidence for those. To think that people where just made, is crazy. We had to have had a Creator.” Religion and God are not always mutually exclusive with evolution and the big bang. Evolution isn't a "theory" in the colloquial sense of the term. In order for something to be a "theory" in science, it must have substantial evidenc…

Quote from phantomkirby: “If there is a limit of any kind to this entity's power, then it isn't omnipotent in the most known definition (which is having unlimited power). That's exactly why omnipotence is self-refuting. I can build a pile of bricks that I can't lift, so there is no logical barrier to doing so. Indeed, given access to the right technology, I could create a rock that I couldn't lift. This is a trivial action, so again there is no logical barrier to doing so. So what he is actually…

Quote from Alexia: “I think the government would take a huge hit if drugs like weed and meth were legalized. All the criminals that are in jail would appeal their case. A major percent of criminals in prison are there because of substance abuse. Money the government get from bailing and bonding drug dealers would be cut short. Alcohol is a drug, far more deadly than weed. It was prohibited in the 20's but was later permitted. Sooner than later, weed will be legalized. I'm sure of it.” Are you jo…

Quote from caboli12: “must be, how did everything come to be” God doesn't necessarily answer that. How did God come to be? Why does the universe need a creator; what if matter and energy are eternal?

Quote from phantomkirby: “Let me rephrase it for you as instead of the word debunk, I was aiming for the word "goes under". Just a little mistake ._. Anyways, you said that the omnipotence paradox goes under all of the definitions you have mentioned except for 5, so I repeated what you said. Replacing the word debunk was a little mistake.” So you admit that omnipotence is not a paradoxical concept?Quote from phantomkirby: “So if I say that evolution is right and give you a wikipedia link to evol…

Quote from phantomkirby: “I'm fully aware of the multiple definitions of omnipotence. As well as the omnipotence paradox debunking almost all of the definitions you have given me.” Which paradox debunks the omnipotence definition(s)? Quote from phantomkirby: “Who said I acted as if the case was closed? I merely gave a reference as to what I was talking about. I didn't feel the need to actually write you a whole essay on it at the time. Let's stop talking about this irrelevant little point that y…

Quote from phantomkirby: “Logistically the property of being omnipotent is paradoxical. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnipotence_paradox” I'm fully aware of the various paradoxes. There's more than just the omnipotence paradox. That being said, there's also more than one definition of omnipotence. Quote: “ 1. A deity is able to do anything that is logically possible for it to do. 2. A deity is able to do anything that it chooses to do. 3. A deity is able to do anything that is in accord with its own na…

Quote from phantomkirby: “On topic Discussion: Existence is described as being a part of the universe. Being a part of nature. For something to be part of nature it must be bound by physical laws of nature and must be made out of matter or energy. This means that any "supernatural" god cannot exist since the property of being supernatural cannot be permitted in our universe and thus this god does not exist. (Supernatural meaning, all-knowing, all-powerful, etc.)” An omnipotent being that is the …

Quote from woodspirit: “well they could be working together to fool us, yeah it sounds crazy... but then again, believing a fictious book still has influence is a crazy thing to do.” Why would they all be working together? Are they all working together on a fictitious international space station as well? Back in the 1960's and 1970's, we had the technology to fly over 80,000 feet; the SR-81 Blackbird could fly at 85,000 feet. That's 46,000 feet higher than the normal cruising altitude of an airl…

Quote from woodspirit: “i just dont think its real... (a lot of what shapes my opinions has a lot to do with 1984, by George Orwell) i think its another excuse for our governemt to waste billions of dollars without having to be accountable... they make the austronauts sign gag orders, or in the case of Colombia, keep them in hiding... how often do you see Neil Armstrong (i think i got the right guy... the first man on the moon, its an Armstrong) writeing a memoire about what it felt like to walk…

What makes you say it isn't real?

Quote from ☺: “How does having personal beliefs make me intolerant? I was being honest- if you disagree with my opinions I simply do not care.” I never said having personal beliefs makes you intolerant. When you swipe away an entire response with a simple comment consisting of, "I don't care what you think of my opinions," that parallels intolerance. I never flamed or made any contemptuous remarks towards you; I merely responded to what you had said. You then proceeded to fire back by essentiall…

Quote from ☺: “:nono: So just because I don't agree with your opinions I am a "bigot"? Nice.” What does that have to do with that I said? You were the one who said you don't care what I think about your opinions. I simply responded. Don't try to push your intolerance of other opinions off on me. Quote from ☺: “Seeing as you are being a little bitch, I'll reply then.” Rather an ironic statement coming from the guy who says, "I don't really care what you think of my opinions."Quote from ☺: “Of cou…
