Re: "Life" series on Discovery Channel
Oh I believe that God interferes all the time... In nature, in the universe, in everything.. And you have beautifully proved it too because you couldn't provide any evidence to the contrary.. Thank you. *facepalm I proved something because I couldn't find any evidence to the contrary? You need a se...

Re: "Life" series on Discovery Channel
At most you can simply argue that science as a purely naturalistic study can offer no answers, however, that is completely different than declaring that nature works by itself. You simply cannot know that. You may like that idea and prefer that, but you have no way of knowing. More of this "yo...

Re: "Life" series on Discovery Channel
but I see no evidence that there's any sort of God pulling strings in the background. Just because I see no evidence doesn't mean that it couldn't exist. I tried to make this clear. By the way I'm still waiting for your "nature works by itself" evidence. Why don't you show us this evidenc...

Re: "Life" series on Discovery Channel
Stop twisting your words... You clearly stated, "Therefore no God is required." The only one that's seriously confused here is you. I seriously can't believe you've never heard a variant of the "____ is not required" expression. Let me break it down: 1) "No membership is re...

Re: God wins!!
Oh dear. I asked for a credible link- you gave me dross. I'll play ball though. From your link: "All his life. Galileo was a religious man and a devout Catholic. Accordingly, it distressed him to find the views to which he was irresistibly led by his observations and reasonings as a scientist ...

Re: "Life" series on Discovery Channel
I'd like to apologize if my posts seem too inflammatory. I never liked all the arrogant atheists out there, and do my best not to be like them, but I always liked to really get into these debates. it seems you are implying therefore no God exists. I'm not. I'm just saying that no theory makes use of...

Re: "Life" series on Discovery Channel
You appear to be confused... You appear to be injecting your philosophical beliefs into science and evolution... Science does not exclude God. Neither does it include God. Specifically, it is neutral to God's existence. But you are making a theological claim.. You stated, " Therefore no God is...

Re: God wins!!
Wrong! Galileo was NOT threatened with torture and death; care to provide a reliable source for this claim? Galileo was certainly detained but, as befitted his status, he was given his own rooms and servants. (Does this sound like a situation in which he would be "threatened with torture and d...

Re: God wins!!
If someone's methods are sound, then what the hell difference does it make whether they are Christian, Buddhist, Pagan, atheist, whatever? Uhm, because their world-view, strangely enough, affects their view of the world? They can use the same methods as everyone else but they might come to a differ...

Re: God wins!!
What the heck? Are you being serious? Have you no grasp on history? Please tell me this is a genuine mistake... Yes, my bad. I read this somewhere else; turns out I was wrong. Luckily Galileo wasn't burned alive, he was only threatened with torture & death. No matter how open-minded an atheist ...

Re: God wins!!
So what exactly am I missing here? Does God not have an effect on this universe at all? Are you guys really saying that there is not at least one thing in nature that a Christian will ascribe to God? If so, is that person still a Christian? Take a look at medical miracles: "the doctors were baf...

Re: "Life" series on Discovery Channel
Evolution makes no claim that either denies or affirms the existence of a creator. It does not say that it doesn't require God. So you are wrong from that standpoint. And while nobody has all the answers, nothing is said to have 100% proof, you are just going to have to accept it on faith. Which ge...

Re: God wins!!
No we do have an idea... If you said that an intelligent designer did it, wouldn't you be curious to know how he did it like how naturalism may have done it? Basically you just go back to doing science again although the different philosophical premises or alternatives have changed. It really doesn...

Re: "Life" series on Discovery Channel
I don't think it takes any faith on my part since I don't have a belief system based on the existence of aliens, only the acknowledgement that it is physically possible. Also it's not as simple as just "finding the life forms". The nearest star system is over 4 light years away. Even with ...

Re: "Life" series on Discovery Channel
Zoe - did I do something wrong? And yet you put this down to what? chance? How much faith does it take to believe that there is Nothing behind this fine-tuned, improbable existence of ours? Are you happy to employ a naturalism of the gaps in order to avoid the rational conclusion that this cannot ha...
