They are in there, changing and mutating, as well as mold spores doing the same. thats 2 things so lets say Evolution 2 things in the cage creation zero |

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 7:37:08 AM "the fact is that no scientist or any person has the capability of sprouting life from non life."Irrelevant. Merely that we have not as yet been successful in creating life does not imply it is impossible to do so or that it could not have happened spontaneously without some creator. "since evolution is merely theory and quite flawed" You misunderstand the scientific definition of a theory; educate yourself on that point, if nothing else. And what flaws are you referring to? "life dosent sprout from non life, we have a creator" And yet we are only the sum of parts that are themselves non-living. How does that work? Yours is an argument from incredulity. "you really sound like your trying to convince yourself." No cognitive dissonance on my part to speak of. |

Sunday, September 20, 2009 9:54:24 PM you choose what you want to believe, as much as you want to tell yourself there is no God, the fact is that no scientist or any person has the capability of sprouting life from non life. i find your evolution and science theories on par with my scriptures as far as ridiculousness. since evolution is merely theory and quite flawed, so you may say my book is. life dosent sprout from non life, we have a creator. somehow i dont think this will compute but thats ok, you are the one who seems like you have something to prove, you really sound like your trying to convince yourself. |

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 7:15:03 PM I-A-B's own "Overmann Medal", while admittedly a mere whimsy or folly on my part, wasn't established for trivial reasons. Bravo, sir. Bravo. |

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 7:03:34 PM "those who believe will believe, those who dont will not."A pity that religious people don't realize this without first subjecting the non-believers to appeals to emotion and suchlike. |

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 7:01:28 PM "So, we're finally at the point where you realize you were wrong about your interpretation of one of my sentences."My mistake stems from assuming you had an argument and then realizing you don't. What point could you possibly be trying to convey when, as a response to people citing examples of religion being the culprit in acts of violence, you want to suggest atheism is responsible for 63% of genocide without suggesting atheism is the culprit? You claim you're not making that argument yourself (indeed you don't even believe it) but that instead you're trying to turn it on me, for example. How exactly do you expect to turn such an argument on others when there is no reason to suspect atheism is the cause? I'll repeat my question, so you can't honestly claim to have overlooked it and everyone else can enjoy revelling in your current legless state: How did you expect to be able to turn your non-argument on others? |

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 11:54:35 AM "I have full faith in the scripture, here is a book that is over 2000 years old, whether you accept that or not is up to you." ------------------------- God created the universe in six days and rested on the seventh? Women came from the rib of a man? Two of every animal in Noah's ark? Jonah living in a fish? Come on. I doubt you're capable of telling anyone the truth if you're so capable of lying to yourself like that.The major problem with your 2000yo book is it was written by men. |

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 9:36:28 AM those who believe will believe, those who dont will not. i have full faith in the scripture, here is a book that is over 2000 years old, whether you accept that or not is up to you. i live my life as christian as i can, i hear his message and i try to live as he would ask of me. Jesus came to ask us to love eachother as we love ourselves, how can you misconstrue this to be anything negative? if people have in the past fought wars or killed "in the name of religion" they obviously had ulterior motives. you dont have to believe in a creator to understand that the message in the bible is one of peace and love, but it is easy to become confused, i suggest starting by trying to understand old testament vs new testament differences. |

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 9:29:24 AM So, we're finally at the point where you realize you were wrong about your interpretation of one of my sentences. Jesus Christ. Look, everything I mean is plain to see from the very beginning. If you'd do me the courtesy of ceasing the frothing at the mouth, and actually reading my original post, you can see quite clearly that: 1) I did not make the claim you say I did. 2) I said 3 times that I didn't in several posts. I even quoted myself in the (possibly optimistic) belief you "just missed it". 3) I had to put up a post repeating a single sentence in about 15 different ways for you to understand what I meant by the sentence. I currently find the idea of trying to actually have a discussion with you where I write *gasp* entire _paragraphs_ to be exhausting beyond the point of reasonable human endurance. Especially since you still haven't made the jump to "maybe I misunderstood the argument". |

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 6:25:20 AM "By blaming religion, you ignore the root causes."Apostasy is a direct by-product of religion. It is a religious term. What would there be to apostate from without religion? "I notice they're the same." Beliefs inform people's actions. I don't hold the people personally responsible because they are simply a by-product of their culture. I couldn't prosecute them in their own country\culture because it was that very culture which sanctioned the actions I mentioned in the first place. I do, however, hold the belief within the culture accountable. It's a supplemental argument against religion, not my essential. It serves not as my argument against religion, but my argument for why *other* people should reject religion. |

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 6:25:10 AM "But you make statements that are simply not true. Of course mathematics is man made but I don't see how it diminishes my point. E=MC² my friend."Your point is diminished because there is nothing in the observable universe that suggests such a thing as multiple universes. This is conjecture spurred from purely the mathematical argument for string theory. There is no other argument for string theory. No one has ever isolated and observed a string. E=mc^2, however, is testable. It expresses a relationship between variables we can record and predict. E=mc^2 has been experimentally consistent and so it is accepted. The math of string theory is, simply put, non-testable. Therefore it cannot prove anything beyond the scope of known physics. |

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 6:24:58 AM "You claim I said the opposite of this. That I am somehow suggesting this fallacy of correlation is correct. I am not. It is not the case."What? Then it seems to me you don't have a f*cking leg to stand on! Your argument against people claiming religion is a root of evil, where a direct link can be drawn between the religion and said evil, is to suggest that 63% of genocide is committed by atheist people, despite the fact that you don't even believe there is a link between the atheism and genocide and may not even be able to draw that link. How is that an argument? I don't see a link between atheism and murder. You, apparently, don't either. How do you hope to be able to turn that against me? |
