That's in the running for the most stupid comment I've ever read on the Internet. If so, why exactly was the original Bible written in Hebrew, Aramic and Greek? :facepalm:
But does this not say that man was formed from dust. At no point in evolution was anything 'dust'. Even if it was, this would still be innacurate; analagous to describing the Mona Lisa as formed 'from dust', because the pigments were processed from ochre, etc. which is earth/dust.
Further, if...
A more logical position than Creationism certainly. However, I would be interested to hear you explanation for how you 'square' the existence of a benevolent God with the existence of diseases, etc. Creationists can fall back on 'sin entered the world after the Fall' etc, but just wondering how...
My advice, use evidence rather than insults to prove your point.
Please continue in your explanation of despite mountains supposedly stabilizing the crust, earthquake frequency and severity is in direct proportion to the presence of mountains. I.e. if mountains stop earthquakes, why are there...
Comparisons can be made without believing in the truth of the actual religion or concept. For example, you could compare the religions of Sikhism and Hinduism without believing either.
You clearly do not understand evolution.
Evolution holds only that GIVEN A FIRST BASIC LIFE FORM (e.g. a bacterium or similar), life can diversify into many complex forms through the biological 'algorithm' of:
- Replication
- Variation
- Selection
Got it? Nothing to do with the origins of...
All Buddhists are atheist as well. Are you saying the Dalai Lama is, and I quote, "wasting his life. His life has no purpose but temporary enjoyment. But such enjoyment is always tempered by nagging doubts about whether or not life is heading in the right direction."
Actually, tmThEMaN, the analogy, in my case at any rate, would be dropping out of school; but continuing to learn for the sake of knowledge. I do not believe there is an end goal or reward for good deeds; but they should be done regardless for the sake of humanity's progression and in the belief...
Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention: all Buddhists are atheist as well. Are you saying the Dalai Lama is, and I quote, "wasting his life. His life has no purpose but temporary enjoyment. But such enjoyment is always tempered by nagging doubts about whether or not life is heading in the right...
Arguing from numbers screws you over.
Here are two 'things' rising in numbers of 'believers':
a) Evolution
b) Atheism
Atheism is rising faster than all religions put together, mind you.
Numbers of believers is also completely irrelevant. Go back 4,000 years and nearly everyone would tell...
