    Questions ....Answers?

    Do you suppose it could be because the questions aren’t really questions at all but a sly way of forming an assertion without evidence? Knowledgeable people usually see through this ruse and respond accordingly. If you have a question about a specific aspect of evolution that you don’t...

    Doesnt evolution and the Big Bang take little faith?

    What I’ve tried to point out is that “supernatural” is beyond the bounds of science because “supernatural” inquires would yield no testable information to explain the intricacies of how the natural world works. Supernatural is an integral ingredient in religion and theology. Although science...

    Doesnt evolution and the Big Bang take little faith?

    Evidence in science is used first to demonstrate the validity of a hypothesis then the evidence is used to determine the viability of assembled hypotheses into a working theory. Evidence in science is based on direct and indirect observation or experience and is always fact based. Evidence is...

    What did god have against dinosaurs?

    The first mammals appear in the fossil record during the late Triassic about 200 million years ago. Dinosaurs lived for about 160 million years starting about 230 million years ago so yes they actually shared the planet for about 130 million years until the dinosaurs disappear from the fossil...

    Is religiosity an inevitable consequence of human psychology?

    Would it be correct to say that most of us underestimate the ability of the brain to make rapid connections for a response to sensory input? The first reaction I’ve often seen in babies to peek-a-boo is alarm but they seem to quickly realize it’s a game and the response is then laughter. Not...

    scientific and faith

    I get the message from the OP that the question is really how scientist’s religious beliefs have changed over time. I’ve skimmed the thread and haven’t really seen anyone provide an answer or opinion for the question. Very briefly, as technology progresses over time the people doing science find...

    Ignorance about evolution no longer a valid excuse for creationists

    It’s nice to have faith in the breaking system on your car but if you don’t have a basic understanding of the system and neglect the required maintenance you may find your faith defined as “wishful thinking” when you suddenly try to stop to avoid an accident that might cause harm to not only you...

    Who wrote the book of Genesis?

    To make a long story short. In ancient times there were professional story tellers like the Bards in western culture. These story tellers made a circuit of the tribes in a certain area. They used stories to help preserve the history of their culture. The storyteller would speak to the tribe...

    Would you buy it?

    It’s been fun following this thread, but 15 pages to debate “wishful thinking” You believe something because either you have enough supporting evidence or because you’ve been conditioned to believe it without evidence or someone has fibbed to you and told you there is...

    Language, the most lovely evidence of God.

    Now that's a statement I won't argue with. You haven't answered my question. Can you give a reasonable explanation as to why you think that language is evidence of god other than your own unsupported opinion?

    Language, the most lovely evidence of God.

    What? Is that because you do not consider yourself a member of the Animal Kingdom, Class – Mammal, Order - Primate, Subspecies – H. sapiens sapiens.

    I'm not sure he understands that.

    Language, the most lovely evidence of God.

    Just one point. If humans(other life forms also included) and their life support systems were designed by an all knowing supernatural being then there should be no design flaws. Right?

    What don’t you understand? The questionable design or the facts?

    Check out the forensic anthropology articles from the University of New England, Armidale, New South Wales, Australia. (I’m not allow to post direct links yet.) Have someone read it to you while you look at the pictures.

    Language, the most lovely evidence of God.

    Who would design a digestive system using the same orifice for ingesting food and breathing assuring that some of these humans will die as a result of choking? And why design an entertainment complex between your legs in the middle of a sewer system.

    Language, the most lovely evidence of God.

    OK I’ll give you that. Then, let’s use the term hominids or primates – modern human ancestors.

    Language, the most lovely evidence of God.

    Humans began to form more complex sounds when their rib structure changed to allow them to keep an even air pressure when blowing out and their larynxes became situated lower in their throat. Oversimplified, but that’s basically it. Doesn’t mean they or any other animals cannot audibly...

    Religion and medical procedures for children.

    You could take a large sample of people with a particular disease. Divide that group into 3 equal subgroups. Give the first subgroup the modern medical treatment. Give another subgroup a placebo. Have the last subgroup and as many others as you like pray for healing. At the end of your...
