Re: Christians rejecting the Old Testament

How much more do beautiful minds who's potential has been wasted, need to lash out before we wake up?

Re: Christians rejecting the Old Testament

Look at us, chasing our own tail round and round for ridiculous tokens of worth.... Raping the earth of it's resources and leaving a wake of garbage behind.... Discarding minds into billion dollar institutions who can't jump through these ridiculously stifling hoops.... But we're the sane ones! And ...

Re: Christians rejecting the Old Testament

Because every human has the capacity to do evil. It is an inherent potential and that makes us imperfect to begin with. A perfect being cannot do evil, such as God. I would ask you how was sin born or came into existence, sin existed before humans existed, did it not? Sin is an abnormality in God's...

Re: Are you guys anti-gay?

I can't ever get over how brilliant life is, especially in it's physical construct. What is the divorce rate along with broken hearts and failed relationships? Don't know the numbers, but I don't have to, I know it's huge. Think of the numerous people who aren't content but eh hem, stay in a marriag...

Re: There are clear iq and physical differences between race

I always find this wonderful about the brain, intelligence isn't exactly genetic.... When we examine the brain, we have primary (responsible for base function), secondary and tertiary convolutions.... I'm not going to spend the time looking it up, but I believe that tertiary convolutions develop wel...

Re: Hopefully not a dumb question

To add to my post, you might be having discussions with people that claim that everything that exists popped up from nothingness; they are ill advised and it is definitely not something that is embraced by the scientific community. Well, not for long anyways! :D

Re: Is evolution a hard science?

Hi Revolutionary Welcome to the board, do you have a link to the salamander article as I would love to read it. :D I don't, sure you can find it though.... There's all sorts of stuff floating around in my mind, it's just something I plucked out for the response. Sorry..... I do believe it was condu...

Re: Hopefully not a dumb question

There was, I think, some satisfaction in the scientific atheist camp when quantum electrodynamics predicted that matter and energy could appear from nothing, as it appeared to do away with the need for an external creator. However the more philosophical atheists could see the naiveté in their delig...

Re: Is evolution a hard science?

I agree and second Hugh's post. And Pat, a theory being able to be falsified is a technicality only if we find opposing evidence. You could falsify the theory of gravity given that technical point, but I don't think we will. The two theories can hardly be compared. Gravity is an ongoing phenomena. ...

Re: Is evolution a hard science?

I have to add to my previous post.... To me it is beyond reason, sense and sensibility going against evolution for the shear brilliance and magnificence that it displays. The capacity for selecting and kick starting focal 'mutations' increase 'exponentially', perfectly mirroring the rate of populati...

Re: Is evolution a hard science?

I saw the link about the human and chimp DNA. If only 5% of the total DNA were different, how many mutations would that be in total, and how long would they take to occur? According to Haldane's Dilemma, a lot more time than they had available. Since macroevolution is a fantasy anyway, the point is...

Re: Is evolution a hard science?

Creationism, of course, is not at all easy to falsify. Perhaps the world, and all its apparent appearance of age really was created in seven days four thousand years ago, or in fifteen minutes two days ago, or in the blink of an eye yesterday. No falsifiability - no scientific theory. Isn't this ra...
