    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    Again, I don't know that "true" and "ethics" go together real well.

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    I guess I'd have to watch the famous W.L.C. debate and score it. I'll just say I'm skeptical of these reports.

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    Yes, IMO any God worth worshipping would be a great whopping incomprehensible first cause who organized the whole system, about whom we can know nothing, as far beyond our understanding as quantum physics to a rock, without the slightest interest in our headgear or mating habits, to whom we are...

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    Exactly! :cigar:

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    I would say by definition, no.

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    We don't generally consider that science can tell us about God. If you are theist, you would think that's because God is supernatural, and therefore outside the scope of science. If you're me, you think it's because God doesn't exist.

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    We probably are. So what? We're like rocks. We cannot even imagine what, if anything, it might be. Entire dimensions, reverse causation and impossible mathematics, in which it turns out the Big Bang is a tiny atomic collision inside itself. Who knows? If we're like rocks to it, we can't know...

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    I don't think you can apply the word "true" to a view. How would you show that nothing exists but that it can at least potentially be perceived with our sense? 1. The burden would be on the person asserting the existence of something that does not. This seems impossible to me. 2. For me, to...

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    1. Our historical experience is that science does tend to solve questions like this, eventually. 2. God of the Gaps theology leads you to a constantly diminishing God. I don't think you want that.

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    Could you be a little more vague?

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    Why? And what do you mean by "validity" in this context?

    Speciation

    Oh thanks, you gave me a good laugh! O.K., how do you know they are the cat "kind" and possum "kind?" btw, you do know that possums are marsupial, right? I thought you thought a "kind" was a family, but now apparently it's any two creatures that look vaguely similar? Is that what a "kind" is?

    why would anybody want to be catholic?

    Why would this "desperation" express itself in pedophilia, rather than ordinary sex?
  14. Autodidact

    So was God wrong?

    So all laws are equally just, as far as you're concerned? There is no distinction at all, and any law that a given society may wish to enact is fine with you? Is that right? And you have no morality and don't believe in morality?

    Creationists, please provide evidence

    And it fails once again.

    So was God wrong?

    I have yet to encounter atheist parents who bring their children to an atheist hall once a week to sing songs about how God doesn't exist, or who teach their children that they will suffer eternal torment if they decide that God does exist.

    So was God wrong?

    Yes, I did. That's why an atheist; I was raised Jewish. I didn't assume anything. I said it should give them pause to question whether that might be the case. Which is certainly true, at a minimum. I don't think it's a coincidence that the people who think religion X is self-evidently true and...

    why would anybody want to be catholic?

    It's true. All atheist arguments are rational.

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    Just realized that lunamoth and lunakilo are two different people. :tuna: *Hits self on head with tuna.*

    Five Reasons to Believe in God

    Why? How would you know? If we don't have access to it through our senses, in what sense can it be said to exist, at least for us, and what difference would it make? Why is this an argument for God? It might help if you define "God." I don't think I know what you mean here, or what it has to...
