    30,000 feet of water?????

    To cover the tip of Mount Everest ─ the bible refers to "the tops of the tallest mountains" ─ you'd need somewhat more than a billion cubic miles of water over and above the water presently on the earth. (In the rough, from the sphere whose radius is the distance from earth's center to the tip...

    Is loving your enemies a good thing ?

    "Love your enemies" is not advice that I'd give anyone. Perhaps the most practical translation of it would be, "Don't hold grudges if you can reasonably avoid it".

    Young women leaving religion more than young men.

    Unfortunately for Christianity, the bible ─ not least the Tanakh and Paul ─ thinks of women in Kinder, Küche, Kirche terms. Historically that's understandable, but the world changes, and will keep changing. We didn't raise our children to think in biblical terms, and they've all done well...

    On Evolution & Creation

    The field of enquiry relevant to evolution is limited to evolution. The study of how chemistry became biochemistry is called abiogenesis, and in effect works both backwards from our best understanding of primitive life forms, and forwards from chemistry. (The study of the origins of the...

    On Evolution & Creation

    Yes, things that can cause mutations may happen by chance. What happens next will depend on whether the mutation is beneficial, neutral or detrimental, and whether the mutation is genetically passed on or effectively neutralized or doesn't survive. Why would you attribute magical qualities to...

    On Evolution & Creation

    Only if chance has brought you up in a Christian culture. Were you born into a Muslim, or Hindu, or Buddhist, or Confucian, or Shinto, or Great Spirit, or Rainbow Serpent &c &c culture, likely you'd never have heard of Revelation, or if you had, have any inclination to read it.

    Sex and Catholicism

    Aiming to observe humanity with as much objectivity as possible is the beginning of wisdom.

    Sex and Catholicism

    The Institution is more valuable to them than the facts. This view doesn't appear to be confined to Catholicism or to Christianity. Seen from the outside, it's often hard to tell the important difference between, say, belief in Jesus and immersion in Harry Potter and his world.

    That seems to be as a result of your choosing not to enquire too far, no? The institution is more valuable to you than the facts?

    On Evolution & Creation

    So how do you account for those elements of the body all functioning usefully together? The choice appears to be evolution or magic, doesn't it? And the trouble with magic is that it has no explanatory power; it's utterly silent on the question of "how?" And nothing changes if you substitute...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    1. Resurrection is logically impossible. You're not dead until the failure of your body's life support systems is irreversible. If they're not only reversible but reversed, you're not dead and you haven't been dead. 2. Accordingly, resurrection stories as purported real events have zero...

    Without Jesus Creation Isn’t Possible IMO

    Ahm, according to the evidence the universe has been around for about 14 billion years, the solar system including the earth about 4.6 billion years, life here at least 3.6 billion years, humans something like 200,000 years, and the bible god about 3,500 years. Still, Paul didn't have the...

    If We All Became Atheists?

    What's the point of having debate boards if you don't have an opinion? And believers appear to me to adhere to their beliefs in debate no more or less strongly than nonbelievers.

    If We All Became Atheists?

    In one sense it's a philosophical position, perhaps, but in practical terms it's usually not. Rather it's part of acculturation, like learning to speak your parents' language and knowing the (real) heroes in the stories about where you live ─ in effect a datum, rather than a reasoned position.
