Re: Why does God exist?

So, animal, what do you do when you come to that conclusion? The conclusion that the secular world view makes much more sense then Christianity all the way around? Continue to learn and understand while killing ignorance in the process. The reason I ask is that it seems like you have closed your mi...

Re: Why does God exist?

I appreciate the effort, but you've simply restated the same problems... 'God' is outside of our time and space (and yes, our very existence) and as infinite as the previous universe was to the current one in the multiple and infinite universes theory (unless, of course, you do not subscribe to that...

Re: Is ID non-scientific because it has relgious implications?

The problem with this train of thought is that you invoke something outside of science. You can then fill in the blank with whatever you want as you suggested which is all hypothetical with no logic and reason and has nothing do with science. This is where the atheist or agnostic raises his voice a...

Re: Why does God exist?

The phrase is adequately clear. Besides, I find it naive to think that human intellect can comprehend the mode of being native to its Creator. It is as absurd as thinking that a painting could grasp the inspiration of its artist. It isn't clear - it doesn't say anything definitively. It is a broken...

Re: What are the top arguments atheists should NOT use?

"I am your God." Agreed, this is an argument that should not be used. To say that Moses didn't exist would be a bad argument. To say Jesus didn't exist would be a bad argument. I myself have been in discussions where these arguments are actually valid and, in my opinion, do sustain themse...

Re: Why does God exist?

He is above and beyond existence. What does it mean to be above and beyond existence? What ontology is necessary to understand this? If it is undefinable, than what does it mean to even say this? A good way of describing God might be that He exists, but does not exist, for He is beyond existence an...

Re: Is ID non-scientific because it has relgious implications?

I agree with you said, BGood, in regards to how ID is non-scientific. One exception I do take in your last post was: Ideas do not have to come via strict rules of the scientific method to become a theory within science. They only have to withstand critical analysis and experimentation. I would agree...

Re: Liberals smarter then conservatives?

Explain yourself here, either you haven't been reading what I posted, or you are completely ignorant. I never said CNN is a flagship network for liberal media, I said that Fox is one in a few, and CNN is one in many. CNN DOES tend to lean toward the liberal side, read Liberal Bias by Goldberg and y...

Re: Is ID non-scientific because it has relgious implications?

ID proponents are very clear that you do not have to believe in the Judeo-Christian God. They are interested in investigating whether the universe shows design features. And a good way to examine how "creationist" ID is is to look at the actual creationists and how they like ID theory. C'...

Right. Petty arguments you seem to fail to address and even evade... so much for aptitude.

Re: Substance of reality

Your contention here is just silly. To call a naturalist inconsistent simply because he or she chooses to use certain words I find absurd. If you want to frame the way a 'naturalist' should or should not use language to communicate a thought in attempt to pigeon-hole a 'naturalist view' - be my gues...

Re: Liberals smarter then conservatives?

You know, not everyone has the internet, or is capable of using a computer. Google isn't the god King of information, I never said that you can't use google and NOT find anything on both sides of an issue. What I meant that the information leaking out to the public by mainstream media is much more ...

Re: Liberals smarter then conservatives?

Yes, the fact is that the media DOES tend to lean more to the left wing then to the right, this is in fact not debatable, only perhaps in your own imagination. How is this fact? Based on only your say-so? Sounds like an opinion to me... Sure, I pick global warming, where no real hard evidence has h...

Re: Liberals smarter then conservatives?

I have educated myself and continue to do so on the aforementioned topics thank you. I stand ready to support anything I've said if anyone chooses to engage me on them. Even if I was completely ignorant of ID or had just enough knowledge feel confident to make a claim - seeing as how a court of law ...
