Very sweet and naive; but ultimately as baseless as an invisible friend. Helpful and comforting, but helpful and comforting has never been, and will never constitute, proof.
My desire to believe cannot overcome my ability to reason.
I hugely disagree with the opening sentences of your post. All children are born atheist. It is the family or culture which they are brought up with which imprints on their life and gives them a religious 'direction'.
You don't seem to be able to grasp the fact that the pathways of evolution are not the same as the occurence of evolution. Darwin was a genius for discovering the "replication, variation, selection" mechanism, and those still stand today. He got loads of the pathways wrong; this is known, and...
Islam432, despite your constant assertion that the Bible contains no external proof that Mark wrote Mark, etcetera., you fail to realize that the exact same is true of the Qur'an. Where's the proof it was dictated by Allah?
Very sly edit there, Thousand Suns.
However, I fail to see how either writing on a skin or palm leaf, or writing in a book, is more superior to the other. Written form = written form.
To be super-picky about this, the written book form of Galen's embryology teachings is MORE accurate and...
Thank you for admitting your mistake. It shows a maturity quite above many here.
However, as you can here demonstrated by this, an interpretation can be made, which although so blatantly stretched from the original text's content, is still defended so vehemently and strongly (i.e. by you). You...
The information in the Qur'an concerning embryology is not this detailed. Inarguable fact.
Ditto the Qur'an. Galen's writings were widely distributed. He was not a religious figure or leader of society, merely a scientist and philosopher. There would be no reason to change his writings to...
LOL is right. Let's analyse your claim.
Eclipse happened, therefore Ibrahim died on that day
Epic fail of logic. All that is demonstrated is that an eclipse happened on that day. The occurence of the eclipse is irrelevant to Ibrahim's death. What if, on the next solar eclipse, I wrote down...
Newhope, you repeatedly use 'kind' as a delimitation within which speciation from a single ancestor can occur. Could you please define the term at a level above a two-year old's 'fishie, doggie, horsie'. For example, is there one 'fish' kind, or two: cartiliginious and bony: or thousands...
"The seed having been cast into the womb or into the earth - for there is no difference [he says] then after a certain definite period a great number of parts become constituted in the substance which is being generated; these differ as regards moisture, dryness, coldness and warmth, and in all...
Christian doc, there have been observed examples of speciation. Creationists then shifted the goalposts to variation within a 'kind'. Could you please define 'kind'? Saying that micro-evolution can occur but macro-evolution cannot is like saying you can walk across your room but not to the...
I have a strange feeling were this said about evolution, you wouldn't find that a very satisfactory answer.
Buried in an order of morphological progression? Somehow I don't think water is that good at sorting out animals. Do you know what else would have happened? Soils would have been...
