    The Irony of Creationist belief

    I see that you are still using same faulty casino gambling analogy. It has nothing to do with evolutionary processes. Repeatedly using the False Analogy (fallacy) only demonstrates you don’t understand biology…it certainly doesn’t help your argument. And btw. You are like every creationists I...

    The Irony of Creationist belief

    That’s the story, some bunch of claims…you need to present evidence that each of the claims are true. you have presented no such evidence. you are using the Bible to prove your own beliefs without the evidence to support them, so you’re merely relying on circular reasoning and confirmation...

    Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

    That’s why these are call “superstitions”. It is the same with other ancient religions, where they filled the mysteries of nature or the natural wonders that they don’t understand with that of gods or spirits with certain attributes. For instances, people in ancient time to the 19th century...

    Darwin's "origin of species" is Biblical?

    ok, thank you for trying to explain your in the OP, but I am still confused as to why you would bring up “random matter fluctuations“ when the wiki article on LUCA have said nothing about any fluctuations at all - not “quantum fluctuations”, not “matter fluctuations”. so I am still confused as...

    Darwin's "origin of species" is Biblical?

    “On the Origin of Species”, questfortruth…not the “On the Origin of Life”. Darwin’s book is about evolving, such as speciation, when the environment changed that put pressures on populations to pass on the necessary physical traits that are better at adapting to the changes to the environment...

    Darwin's "origin of species" is Biblical?

    The last line. I am not a biologist, so I am uncertain as to what you mean by, in that last paragraph. I need more, so can you expand & explain what you mean by this, for the sake of clarification? I just need you to clear my confusion to this new thread. And as you say “today’s Evolution...

    "Reality is not what you perceive it to be. Instead, it's what the tools and methods of science reveal."

    And which philosophy would that be? You do realise that there are hundreds of philosophies, today, and hundreds more in the past that are no longer followed? And more often than not, they disagreed with each other. Most of them are useless and outdated, while others are very superficial, so...

    "Reality is not what you perceive it to be. Instead, it's what the tools and methods of science reveal."

    Wrong beliefs of theists, are those who believe that their scriptures (whether it be Bible or Quran) are books on the “science of nature”. These theists are more often creationists. I don think @F1fan have any problems with other theists like @Dan From Smithville , @metis, @shunyadragon and...

    "Reality is not what you perceive it to be. Instead, it's what the tools and methods of science reveal."

    Why are you bringing up atheism into this? The only focus of atheism is that people (atheists) these people question the theists’ beliefs in their deities. The atheists themselves, either don’t believe in any god, or they lack the belief - nothing more, nothing less. Atheism is no more science...

    "Reality is not what you perceive it to be. Instead, it's what the tools and methods of science reveal."

    I agree with your post except the part I highlighted. The part that I agree with, if I reworded the last line: “…and consciousness is the tool by which we struggle to understand the universe.” Well, at least the parts of universe that are observable to us. What we actually observe is only...

    The Bible seems to always promote a flat earth belief over a spherical earth

    Yes, it is the same with Egyptian and Babylonian religions and myths. It have to with their own lands. In Egyptian myth, the primeval waters (personified as Nu or Nun) existed, before Atum or Ra created dry land. That 1st land was a mound, which is Heliopolis, a city sacred to Atum (later it...

    The Bible seems to always promote a flat earth belief over a spherical earth

    The problem is using the word circle or circular, is not recognising that circle is 2-dimensional shape, not 3-dimensional. If you looking at 3-dimension geometric shapes, then there cube, box, prism, pyramid, cone, cylinder, sphere, spheroid, etc. while circle exist in 3D sphere, they also...

    How do you detect "design"?

    You are editorialising and misconstruing what Einstein said. Einstein wasn’t talking about the Universe, when he said “God is not playing at dice”. There was no “universe“ in that statement. He was referring to quantum mechanics, of how the nature of randomness of quantum or subatomic...

    Water into wine: natural or supernatural?

    Miracles that defy law of nature, would of course not be classified as natural. in my last post, I said it as much, not just with water into wine, but also a couple of other examples, like creation of light from nothing or from words, and transforming soil into man… …neither of these are...

    Water into wine: natural or supernatural?

    Transforming (just) water into wine, “isn’t natural”. Likewise, creating light from just words - “Let there be light” - that “isn’t natural”. Light don’t come from words, nor from nothing. Light requires a source, eg from the sun, from charged particles or charged molecules (ionized atoms or...
