Still don't believe in evolution? Try this!

That is if you do in fact have mountains of evidence for the existence of god.

****. I'll take ANY evidence. I mean actual evidence, not "pray and you will feel his love in your heart" or "isn't the beauty of sunsets evidence enough?". Just a single actual, unequivocal piece of evidence for the existence of ANY kind of god. Doesn't even have to be the Christian God.

It is unfortunate that some of those gospels never made it to the Bible. Can you imagine if they decided to include the Gospel of Thomas, where mischievous child Jesus goes around turning people to zombies and statues for pissing him off? That would have been simply amazing! At least parts of it made it into the Quran, like when Jesus made living birds out of clay.

Could you imagine a gospel that unveiled that apostles or even Christ himself were married? He entire Catholic Church would have to change.

why he can't make atheists like me to start believing in God?

He's a shepherd, not a plantation owner.

A year ago I said your opinions were so predictably on the side of the Christian right, and you responded by saying you were agnostic. It's nice to see that you discovered so much evidence for the existence of God. I bet your belated discoveries also confirmed the universe was created by the Christian God specifically. It's amazing how your honest pursuit of the truth confirmed your previous worldview even though you were totally agnostic!

I was simply pointing out that as militant as AKMVP thinks the Christian right is about there being a god he is just as militant about there not being a god. My response had nothing to do with my beliefs on the subject.

If God is all powerful then he can do anything.

Compelling comment btw.

There is no need for a compelling comment when talking to religious folk

All I feel is pity that an adult would believe in something as ludicrous as 'god'

That's the spirit!

Bold strategy!

Mostly not unoriginal.

Welp, should have known this thread was gonna turn into religion bashing... kinda sad really.

It is natural selection. Which means that the fittest within a population survives, because it fundamentally has an advantage to survive.

...so it survives, but a cat NEVER turns into a dog, a croc-agator doesn't sprout wings and become a bird, and a fish with lungs.....never becomes a human being!

They are missing a lot about how much human input went into the compilation of the bible and writing and rewriting. The notion that there is no subjective human elements is simply historically incorrect.

Men did the actual writing of the Bible....however, this does not make what they wrote any less the Word of God. The Bible explains: “Men spoke from God as they were borne along by holy spirit.” (2*Peter 1:21) Just as God used his powerful holy spirit to create the heavens, the earth and all living things, he also used it to direct the writing of the Bible.

This means that the Bible has only one author. He used men to write the information down, much as a businessman uses a secretary to write a letter. The secretary writes the letter, but the letter contains the thoughts and ideas of the businessman. So it is his letter, not the secretary’s, even as the Bible is God’s Book, not the book of the men who were used to write it.

Since God created the mind, he surely did not find it hard to get in touch with the minds of his servants to provide them with the information to write. Even today a person can sit in his home and receive messages from a faraway place by means of a radio or a television set. The voices or pictures travel over long distances by the use of physical laws that God created. It is, therefore, easy to understand that from his place far away in the heavens, He could direct men to write down the information that he wanted the human family to know. Makes sense, no?

That's really uncalled for.

No question. I've always found it funny how some believers can't help impose arbitrary restrictions on their God.

mirror exercise?

didactic biblical theorists are only a few generations removed, if that, from didactic "scientific"/ "secular humanist"/ "atheist"/"__________"(insert any class of human proponents of any human belief system) theorists.

you really think you're significantly different, somehow?

A fish with lungs might just be an accident of nature and in no way in the line of any evolutionary chain of ancestry leading to humans who can philosophically derive from authoritarianism yet imagine they are a new life form called "liberals" who somehow are viewed as superior, even though they pass more laws and impose more didactic morals on mankind than any religious bigot ever could manage.



uuuuhhhhhhh. . . . . here is where I just have to laugh, at myself and the world as well. . . . .

 

[One Brow]

Is it possible? Sure, philosophically speaking I can see that happening. Thats why I am in the agnostic camp.

Philosophically, I can see it happening. However, there is no evidence for it. That's why I am an atheist.
