Well, no-one said what size the teapot was, I find that kind of argument facetious rhetoric so my answer was 'tongue in cheek'. I would need the Hubble telescope to see a small teapot, wondered if anyone would pick up on it, well done.
Far more sophisticated methods of dating now available, modern Uranium-series methods use decay chains and lasers to allow dating calculations to around 500,000 years.
Of course it has nothing to do with religion but you questioned my honesty and it was a way of giving some evidence that I am familiar with philosophers and philosophical terms and I am coming to the end of a degree in philosophy so I am neither ignorant or gullible.
In fact I am quite...
You are still not grasping what I'm saying, I am most certainly not indoctrinated, although I attended church until I was 15yrs they taught very different doctrines to what I now am coming to believe through study and research.
You are making unfair assumptions and I am most certainly not a...
Death, with no hope of resurrection, no-one is short changed until the end of the day of judgement and there is no such place as hell and eternal torment that was just a clever way of the church frightening people into doing what it says.
For God does not show favouritism. All who sin apart...
I think you misunderstand, once Adam disobeyed God ergo sinned God had warned Adam "the day you eat the fruit of the tree you will surely die". God had an idea what man would become once they chose to follow their own desires so there was no way He could afford them eternal life. He had two...
I don't believe you go to heaven but it would be really nice to live longer than about 80yrs, what about those who have a life full of suffering or kids that die before they reach their 5th birthday it would be great if they could have better or more. Not everyone is lucky enough to have been...
A theist might argue they have faith God does exist and there people who have no doubt God exists although there are many who say they believe they go straight to God when they die and yet will undergo the most awful medical treatments to have a few more months of life. You figure!
All I can say is there have been times when I have tried to convince myself by argument that God could not exist. Yet, every time I keep getting 'pulled back' and consider the universe, how much we do not understand, how amazing human beings are and it seems illogical to claim that there could...
I find it interesting that although church numbers are decreasing many people still seem to have a spiritual need. Friends and colleagues are often scathing about mainstream religions and yet some still believe in existence of some kind after death.
One group of people whose numbers are...
"The Lord said, “If I find ten good people in the city, I will not destroy it.”- this was not the extent of God's mercy but Lot's, he was negotiating with God but Lot stopped at ten, we will never know if Lot went down to finding one good person God might have still agreed not to destroy the...
It was difficult on what was an academic forum because people can emotionally bully and harangue you without obviously being rude,really did have some great discussions with some atheists who actually commented on the bullying by some of the others. However, in the end I became upset and angry...
Wow that is extremely disrespectful, full of hate, but ignorance generate hate. But please let me share something with you.
Wow! Really, this is obviously not an academic forum, since when has the truth been disrespectful.
I suggest you have no idea what you are talking about. I think one can...
