The Bible prophesised my birth...
Don't believe me?
Just start with my date of birth and count backwards any number of days until you run into any historical Biblical passage of my choosing and Voila! I am he who was spoken of before.
Your supporting source is a website called "End-Times-Bible-Prophecy"... Does it really surprise anyone that their "research" matches their conclusion?
The initial problem still exists. It still hinges on the same flaw - you're starting with your conclusion, supporting it a number of zany...
He doesn't understand the problem with his first sentence here...
Strange how they were able to predict the accurate date AFTER the event took place, don't you think?
4 things:
1)You're about to make an argument from ignorance in defense of Theism - Because you don't know something, that means maybe God did it... Am I right? God of the Gaps seems to be the modern theist's favorite deity.
2)A god of the gaps argument does not make deities are any more likely...
Creationists reject Evolution as an explanation for life forming and adapting over long periods of time because it doesn't coincide with their Biblical narrative. They'll even go to great lengths to defend this position by making regurgitated arguments about how certain things in Biology are...
The likelihood that an infinitely complex Creator deity exists but is not discernible from natural phenomenon is negligible (and likely zero). Why be a Theist?
That is something that is not that hard to do...
Unfortunately for the people in his camp, it will be viewed as an attack on their way of life and not an intelligent debunking of their outlandish claims. After all, "the Enemy is always out there, trying to destroy faith."
#1 is the main problem.
The very foundation of this argument is just bad. While it seems true, it's unsubstantiated and their conclusions are wildly oversimplified.
The vast majority of the time, reductionism works great for solving problems and understanding origins for our purposes. But the...
Regulating how arms are obtained, ensuring safety of use, and limiting the type of firearms that are allowed do not infringe upon those rights. The Supreme Court has agreed with this a couple of times.
In other words, we made it harder for people to get dangerous things into places where they could cause a lot of damage... Kinda like the idea that not everyone-and-their-mother should own a high-powered semiautomatic rifle, or be packin' in the library, right?
We restricted people's comforts...
You're free to make all of the decisions that your history allows you to make.
By nature, that's a limit more than a freedom.
I'm right there with you. I just think we can only maintain ideas that we're cognizant of. And there are lots of things to which we are ignorant, and therefore...
We, as a people, seem to have stopped caring about that kind of stuff a long time ago...
I have a bigger problem with fake tough-guys than I do with draft dodging, in general.
(And that applies to Clinton and Trump equally, for example.)
Having a willingness to send men and women to war when...
They come from our influences during developmental stages... And we chose zero percent of those influences.
We did not choose who our parents were.
We did not chose when, in History, or where, geographically, we would be born. Those three factors alone play an integral part in our current...
