Beyond that, you'd think a god could be a little bit more creative with what he is doing.  What's the point of making a bunch of similar looking monkeys or felidae, or the countless other numbers of similar species? I could come up with some more imaginitive stuff. By the way Jango, Darwin may...

Jango, your reasoning is seriously flawed. You keep on making statements that don't make any sense. Your statement is akin to saying that since a paranoid schizophrenic believes that there are people watching him and following him around, such people must really exist, even though he's never see...

Jango, I did believe at one time, but no god ever showed himself to me. That's why I don't have any faith now. Vanaze, may I ask what school you go to? It strikes me as very odd that this paleontologist couldn't deal with a lot of your questions. Could you also post some of the questions the...

Thaddius, nobody suggested to me that there was no god, at which point I said "Okey dokey, sounds good." No, what happened was I started really thinking about what the Bible was saying and how, upon deeper inspection, it made no sense. At that point I still wanted to believe in a god; after all...

"The ignorance of your arrogance." LOL. I was being facetious, Jango. Unfortunately, it went over your head. It would hardly make sense for an atheist to seriously claim some god is afraid of him when he doesn't believe in one, would it? Thadius, my version of the truth is based on empiricism...

Maybe. But I think he's afraid of me. I think we are - you just haven't thought about it and analyzed it like I have. I understand the Bible all too well. Why is it the biggest selling book of all time? Because most people are sheep - they do what they are told and they believe what they are...

I think in today's age, the common view is that there is no such thing as magic, and most people would find the idea preposterous. I could be wrong on that, but frankly, I'm not sure if I actually know a single individual who believes in that kind of thing. And as a non-believer, I'd have to say...

Vanaze, you are looking for reasons why Bush is a bad president rather than an idiot. So don't confuse the issue. There is ample evidence for both, I believe, but i was only trying to get at the idiot part. His feeble mindedness was established long ago. In any case, your allegiance to Bush is...

Fluff? Oh, come on. When I see someone who is so inarticulate and so clueless, I tend to get the clear impression that he is a moron. So what if some of these great men you speak of weren't eloquent speakers? Being a great man doesn't eliminate the possibility that you are an idiot. Maybe your...

If someone can delete this topic that would be good. I did some research and i got the answer I was hoping for, so I got rid of my previous post.

I just wanted to respond to Vanaze's challenge to provide evidence of Bush being a moron. Sorry to post it all here, but the link is currently broken. Bush is a buffoon the likes of which the White House has never before seen and will likely never see again. "You don't need to be smart to be...

I can't know with any certainty why it is that you or anyone else would refuse to use such power if you know that you could. But I have a difficult time believing that everyone is so afraid that they will be corrupted. I mean, do you find yourself constantly getting addicted and losing...

I don't expect that any Christian would ever take me up on this challenge. There would always be some excuse why they can't or won't do it. I think they would be too afraid to try, because in their hearts, they know they will fail, and they wouldn't want to face the truth of what such a failure...

Committing suicide is like a mercy killing. You are putting yourself out of your misery. Ending suffering would be a compassionate and loving thing to do, so suicide and mercy killing could be considered compatible when talking about loving your neighbour as loving yourself.

Nice! This Saturday is a full moon AND there's a hill right behind my house. God is giving me a message - he wants me to do magic. By the way, to all the people talking about magic: why don't you do some? I mean, there are so many Christians on here, surely one of you must have "faith as a...

LOL, are you people serious? Well, if you know how I can learn about doing magic, please tell me. I want to be able to do it.

Ok, so what is it that you guys believe regarding free will in heaven? Do you have it or not?

The flood story does not account for evidence of abrasion of rock by glaciers advancing and retreating. As for the link talking about fossils found high up in the mountains - there is no problem there. Mountains ranges were not always mountains. The rock forming the Rocky mountains was at one...

Do you mean to say that god himself would be unable to convince an atheist of his existence? That is a ridiculous statement if you believe in an omnipotent god.

Adam and Eve couldn't have been created perfect if they sinned. Sinning would be a mistake, and a perfect being would not make mistakes.
