Evidence for God from Science

Yes, I'd spit on the flag - I assume that's what you mean. That is not what I mean, that is the only logical conclusion that can be made from your cost and benefit approach. not me. I am no one to Judge you. Then I guess I have no idea why you consider my response "as vague as not responding&q...

Note that each of these (and most other examples of "immoral" animal behavior) were routinely practiced by humans. In some cultures, they still are. And there in lies the problem for you Wayne. Routinely? So if these behaviors are in humans, and they are consistent with other social speci...

Given the situation as stated (and assuming the event is being recorded for propaganda purposes which you did not state), I'd see very little advantage to giving up my life. During the first gulf war, several coalition soldiers who became POW's gave propaganda statements - probably under similar ci...

... if you are captured, and your enemy offered you freedom, all you have to do is to just spit on your flag and go home or else die. what will you do? Given the situation as stated (and assuming the event is being recorded for propaganda purposes which you did not state), I'd see very little advan...

I think "morality" originated with a need for social animals to "get along". There are too many examples contrary to this. Aminals fighting over mating rights. Sometimes to the death. Fighting over territory and pecking order. Very little intra-species conflict (territorial, hie...

@Wayne That's what YOU believe, how do you know that god wouldn't consider choosing to be killed to be suicide? Because I am not an agnostic, because the Bible tell me that people can kill you for following Christ. On a side note, can't you see the difference between, dying for what you believe in ...

I wouldn't confuse reciprocity with being altruistic. Reciprocity is about a mutual 'give and take.' Altruism is a regard for others as a principle of action. It is an unselfish concern for other people, and comes from the Italian altrui , which literally means 'somebody else'. Reciprocity has noth...

I hear many Creationists argue that without a God, we wouldn't have "Objective Morality". What leads us to believe certain actions are right and wrong? While I do agree that we are given these right and wrongs by God, I don't believe the animal kingdom proves any less 'Moral' than us, in ...

Sort of off-topic, but this presents an interesting reversal of Pascal's wager. If you let yourself be killed rather than denouncing your religion and your god does exist, you enter heaven as a martyr. If, however, your god doesn't exist, you are just dead - needlessly dead. Indeed, but then I will...

... Taliban terrorist put a gun to my head or hers and say refute Christ, deny him and you may live, I'd rather have them shoot us. Sort of off-topic, but this presents an interesting reversal of Pascal's wager. If you let yourself be killed rather than denouncing your religion and your god does ex...

http://www.ideacenter.org/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/1392 Miller's "prediction" of Neo-Darwinian evolution is not a hard prediction of his theory: if common ancestry is true, Miller predicts that there must have been a fusion event. But the converse is not true. The presence of this fu...

Wayne, I don't look to start an argument, but your statements prompted me to at least point something out. You seem to be accusing God of trickery here... or at least planting misleading information. I don't think you have the proper authority to do so, quite frankly. You (or I should say, people) ...

My eyes hurt from reading all of those posts :crying: My advice is: Try a little faith, and see how that changes the picture. Also, from the limited knowledge I have, several things in Evolution are Theories A "theory" as used in science is quite different from the common usage of the ter...

yes, but that same principle applies to the whole system as well, which means that one cannot assign exact simultaneous values to the position and momentum of a physical system. And it has profound implications upon how predictions can be made for any certain system behavior . It does not say that ...

by waynepii » Fri Apr 29, 2011 7:40 am Also that there is no science that can prove God. There is absolutely NOTHING.... Yup, one just needs to believe. By the way there is no science that can dis-prove God either. ;) Agreed. My post was simply a take-off on Gman's prior post to that effect ... Int...
