Re: Objective Morality?
Of course in your view plenty of people are trespassing on objective morality. We also appear to be trespassing all over God's objective creation whist actually being part of this creation. I do see value in my life and I do tend to occasionally grade things on a scale right/wrong. I don't claim th...

Re: Bible's accuracy and different translations
No, but it makes me doubt their claims of divine inspiration and dilutes their message. It just seems that an omnipotent and all-knowing being would be able to express his objective rules in a more direct manner than inspiring humans to do his writing, editing, interpreting, publishing, distributio...

Re: Question of the Day
You never answered my question. I did answer the question but the answer was probably in another thread - sorry. I am open to any hypothesis of the source of everything provided it is supported by credible evidence. I find a hypothesis requiring a preexisting supernatural being to be less likely th...

Re: Objective Morality?
You consider whatever act you are evaluating from the perspective of the person(s) the act affects. For example - When I was a child, if I stole Jimmy's toy, my mother would ask me "how would you feel if Jimmy stole your toy? After a while, I found I was asking myself the question whenever I h...

Re: Human evolution and dna
Secondly, even if science were unable to demonstrate life forming from non-living matter, that wouldn't disprove the hypothesis that life originated from non-life. But it wouldn't prove it either... I never said did. Thirdly, the origin of life is abiogenesis, not evolution. Evolution is the adapta...

Re: Human evolution and dna
First off, researchers have successfully generated amino acids from a primordial "soup" under conditions similar to those of the primitive Earth. Once they have amino acids, proteins and the other building blocks of life conceivably can occur given enough time. Wow. that is quite a faith ...

Re: Question of the Day
I've already said I didn't. I'm open to any credible evidence as to where everything came from. As I said before (in other terminology), I find the hypothesis that a supernatural being (happy?) "poofed" everything into existence from nothing to be highly unlikely, but given sufficient, cr...

Re: Bible's accuracy and different translations
Any book requiring so much interpretation and discussion to determine what it means was written by men. Is this some objective standard that says things needing interpreting are instantly excluded from divine inspiration? Or just some idea of your own? No, but it makes me doubt their claims of divi...

Re: Human evolution and dna
Conclusion, if mankind and animal kind are to live on the same planet, they must both use DNA (and other things). Not really. We eat simple sugar, there's no DNA in sugar. There's no DNA in much of our processed food. Although many foodstuffs are derived from living things (thus the sources have DN...

Re: There is no science...
Remember: If AI were at some point able to simulate a human being perfectly, wouldn't that just help show that intelligence requires an intelligent designer? Actually no. It would just show that an intelligent designer can design a perfect human simulation. It in no way contraindicates human evolut...

Re: Question of the Day
I understand your point about how many things could have prevented life as we know it by being slightly different. But given that the known universe contains billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, the probability of at least one star having a planet with the correct parameters doesn't s...

Re: Objective Morality?
Wayne, as it was explained back then. It's an ontology vs. epistomology thing. And furthermore, as I stated regarding your comments to BW, you are contradicting yourself. REad my previous post. Basically, everyone should be treated equally (aka the "Golden Rule"). Sorry, Wayne, but you ca...

Re: Question of the Day
OK, my bad - sorry. What proof DO you have? Remember, the name of this site is " Evidence for God from Science ". And yes, I've read the main site, in detail, several times. Are you kidding? If you've read the main site, you should know a great deal of evidence . I recommend you stop misq...

Re: Question of the Day
...That's right - NONE of us has any proof. Everything that is came into existence somehow, but the "how" didn't necessarily involve a "who". Hmmm, waynepii, I am curious – aren’t you a who – whom wrote the above? How did you learn to write? - - - I said (emphasis added) Everyth...

Re: Objective Morality?
I'm not imposing my view on anyone, merely attempting to prevent others from imposing their views on everyone else. Right along, I have been asking for evidence of OM's existence, and, if OM does exist, how do we mortals tell what OM's "verdict" is in any given case. Even if OM exists, if...
