    Thanks. I'm getting the hang of it, slowly but surely. Had several years in another forum and any transition, like any good move, has its ups and downs. Already running into a number of diverse and interesting opinions, and more than a few good eggs.

    Where I'd say, as far as we know/can demonstrate, we don't know instead of "there isn't any". Couldn't agree more. Excellent. The stuff that frubies are made of. Supra. This is getting annoyingly agreeable. Supra, and thanks again.

    Belated frubie blessings. I'm still learning the etiquette around here.

    Sorry to be a bother but two quick questions: is forum etiquette here to respond formally to likes? And if so how do I see who has liked a post of mine so that I can remedy my oversight?

    I don't believe that science really offers an answer to whether or not the mechanism of the universe is purposed or inherent and the same can and then has to be said for life. Ultimately, no matter how we define the mechanism it's part of a regress as questions go that leads to a foundational...

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    Man, the last two games got me by a half point per...well, hard to feel badly about being off by a half point. And ten wins on the week isn't bad, considering. Ryan is a good coach. He can blueprint a defense about as well as anyone. I wonder if that won't end up helping everyone else who comes...

    I call them Pop reTorts. See? Yours are chock full of essential vitriol and irony. Look, like you discussing religion I'm not really attempting to be taken seriously on the point. Or, you mostly asked for the recycle, by which I mean you can't break up with someone and then keep driving by...

    The one is no contradiction of the other, but it was a game try...by which I mean it had a suspicious odor. I'd say more "but your tiresome prolixity, inability to face critical comment, and digression into irrelevancies is just too much". Sorry, just something I read once, somewhere...likely on...

    You're assuming that life can simply happen. You're assuming the conclusion and then offering points from it. But that's the ballgame. If we are then it's not such a little ball of mud, though speaking as a Christian I'd say that our book is about God and man, not about whether or not God has...

    What was your journey to faith like?

    Startling. I was brought up in the Episcopal church and I had a lot of respect for the people of faith around me and the work they did for others in my community, but I didn't believe in their premise, was an atheist for as far back as I could think of having an opinion on it and remained that...

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    Well, Arizona won, but that half point kept me at 10-3 against the line going into tonight's game. Given last week, I'll take it. In the meanwhile, what have we learned? That the Vikings weren't ready for prime time with a wounded Green Bay clawing for a win. Minnesota made costly mistake...

    The wisest man in the world is the one who realizes he knows nothing.

    I was thinking of agnosticism in its historic application to the individual, which is more of a "don't know" than "can't know". But again, the moment you begin making moral choices and distinctions the philosophical point is lost within the practical application. I didn't say it was necessary...

    Why Did God Create Humanity?

    Well, thanks for making me feel even worse about giving up my dream of being an astronaut. My childhood willpower.

    What are you eating?

    Same here and I mostly prefer them to the alternatives.

    What are you eating?

    Had a satisfying, lazy meal last night. A great mixed green salad in the bowl, with cherry tomatoes, cheese, crumbled dried pepper bits, a little onion and thinly sliced, roasted turkey and drizzled with Newman's Own raspberry vinegarette, followed by a bubbling, thin, crisp crust cheese and...

    The wisest man in the world is the one who realizes he knows nothing.

    A very interesting post with a great deal in it to consider. I'd like to take a moment to focus on the last of your questions. "What do we gain by jumping to conclusions about the nature of reality rather than allowing evidence to direct us?" To my mind, the larger point underneath the...

    Why?

    Nothing. When Jesus said, "I and the Father are one," he understood the history on hand among the Jewish people. Though to be fair, the OT God is a bit more three-dimensional than a supreme being with anger management issues...ultimately, the distinction between how we see God is a distinction...

    Why Did God Create Humanity?

    In order: you could have written that more succinctly, no such animal in my profession, and that's a reasonable way to describe entering this conversation. So not a complete whiff then. So far, so good.
