Re: Can science disprove God? New Time article says No.
Great article. Thanks for posting. I'm happy to see they didn't flake on the fine tuning like I've heard many atheists do.

Re: What’s the worst that could happen?
I'm not sure why this hasn't been expressed more thoroughly, although it has been alluded to it, and that is: God doesn't want to make it obvious. From the absence of a voice in the sky, to the way our world looks, God isn't supposed to be undeniable. He gives us very strong arguments for the existe...

Re: Nature of Reality: A Challenge to Atheists
Oh boy. Kenny. I really hope you're trying to understand the truth. I think you're really close to seeing that morality is objective. Do you see that it is only your opinion of morality that you're offering. And your opinion (and mine) is utterly dismissed by objectivity. You and I may have empathy ...

Re: Islam ?
As I've been reading (slowly) through the old testament, I've read a lot of disturbing things. But I'm not sure any of them can be pinned on God except about a half a dozen. When I probe these select events even more, I've been able to conclude that God was just in his actions. I think what confuses...

Re: Morality, Intellectual Skepticism
Well, it may be historically accurate. Christianity has been challenged numerous times. And I think it's good to learn about those challenges. I wonder though, does the text go on to describe the history of apologetics, or just the criticisms y/:) What level of education is this text book for? I'd s...

Re: Why does God let satan have nearly all human souls?
I don't think you've got a very good understanding of heaven. Even if you enter heaven without a single friend, family member, or even acquaintance, you will not be along. Jesus used imagery like the family of God, and his house, for a reason. The Church, is all believers and we will all know each o...

Re: Shroud of Turin
Thanks bippy. You have me intrigued then. I'll try and find some time to watch a few of the videos you've linked and see where that takes me. My initial gut reaction, is how does this prove anything, but... if you're right, that's great! ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Why does God let satan have nearly all human souls?
Strange thoughts DRDS :ewink: I'd suggest your 98% is off base. I believe more people than that will be in heaven. But lets forget about that for a minute. In fact, lets assume 0.00001% make it into heaven. Does that make a difference from the 98%? No. How about 99% make it into heaven... well, 1% s...

Re: Shroud of Turin
Could someone explain why there's 55 pages of discussion about whether or not this piece of cloth belonged to Jesus? What's the big deal. My question is prompted by a discussion in Seraph's thread where I said: bippy, let me just say I think Seaph is playing with fire and should consider the evidenc...

Re: Flirting With Deism
bippy, let me just say I think Seaph is playing with fire and should consider the evidence of a few things more seriously. But the shroud isn't one of them. At least, so I think. Which is why I ask: What's the big deal with the shroud? I haven't read that thread either (like I have the time for that...

Re: Human Migration and the Great Flood
Some do believe it was only a portion of humanity. But myself, coming from the belief that a severe Glacial Lake Outburst Flood killed all but Noah's family, doesn't see a problem with your diagram. Can you clarify where the issue is? I imagine the event was something like 100,000 years ago, and hum...

Re: The Devil and insanity
I would think satan does not have the option to repent anymore. He rebelled towards God. It's like asking if the rich man that was in hell (Lazarus ate with the dogs at his table) could repent. He wanted out of hell but could not leave. He had his chance to make his choice. He was far from insane, h...

Re: The Foolishness of Many Non-believers
So would you say abortion is wrong past say 4 months pregnancy? That seems well beyond the grey line to me. So...really, in the first place, one would always hope that every actual pregnancy was a wonderful, joyous affair of the family etc. Unfortunately, we know real life has a way of screwing thi...

Re: The Foolishness of Many Non-believers
I read what you're saying ryanbouma. My 'comments/'concerns' stem with preventative measures both before and immediately after the act to prevent the pregnancy in the first place. When is a bundle of cells human? The image I gather from most of these posts before is that ANY bundle of cells is ALWA...

Re: Why?
Doesn't the rest of the passage describe rape, saying that if she screams it's rape. And if they're out of town where no one can here them, it's assumed she screamed. But if she doesn't scream, it's consenting?
