Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

See above. You reference bacteria, I gave you evidence of similar situations in humans. Watch: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/intelligent-design-trial.html Now, if someone could explain to me what Intelligent Design has to do with the separation of church and state... :doh: "We have co...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

I am curious about something though. What are you guys proposing exactly? Evolution is false, therefore, what? We don't know how these organisms came about, or you have some other explanation? If it's the latter, do you have evidence for it (more than evolution I'm guessing)? Pierson5, this website...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Nothing better than a good straw man to begin a post. Well done, Pierson. :clap: You conveniently ignored all the objections raised in the discussion, and twisted the facts so that it turns out that we don't believe in something obvious. Jlay simply stated: Time is not an answer. You made some comm...

Re: Questions from a new Christian

I believe that the evidence for God is solid. Unless, however, you want to deny Him, in which case no evidence would be quite enough. If God waved at us from the sky, people like you would attribute it to a hallucination... even if hundreds of people saw the very same thing. I think God would know ...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

So we accept speciation, and we accept microevolution. But, once speciation occurs (let's say due to environmental separation), it's impossible to imagine over a long period of TIME and various environmental conditions (micro evolution) we would be left with 2 different species which look nothing al...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

I think you need to lighten up. I'm not angry or mad. Only that this is an ongoing thing with Jlay, and I thought it should be addressed. Telling someone they are sick and weren't held enough as a child hardly classifies as humor in my book. I guess we just have different senses of humor in that re...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

Pierson, the main flaw of your reasoning is that you assume humans to be rational and inherently good. Well, the fact is that they're not good, and they behave irrationally more often than not, and it's easy to prove that. Firstly, you claim that abortion rates go down as sex education and contrace...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

Violating? No. That is a ridiculous assesment. I challenge you to survey mothers and ask how many felt pregnancy was an invasion. I never said anything about invasion, and don't think the 2 words are synonymous. If you are using someone else's body to live, be it an adult, child, or fetus, and the ...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

Pierson, I'll leave you with one thing to think about. If abortion was made illegal, in the U.S., with the threat of prosecution, or revoking the doctors license, most doctors would cease performing abortions. Would you agree? That alone would decrease the number of abortions, thereby decreasing th...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

In your argument, the rapist, as well as the unborn child should be punished for his crime? Let's see...Maybe according to you, for now on, whenever a man rapes a woman,the rape victim should have the right to go to the rapist's house and drag off his children and kill them too. After all, punishin...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

So, you suggest that the way to help a mother cope is to kill the unborn life inside her? How is that sane? Why should the unborn be punished for the crimes of the rapist father. Last I checked we punished the criminall. Is it unfortunate for the woman? Absolutely. It is a tragedy. But I fail to se...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

In that case, there's not much more I can tell you, I'm afraid. I tried to explain to you why abortion is murder, and you responded that you support murder. That would be all from me in this discussion then. Good luck with defending against the invasion of fetuses, who so shamelessly occupy unsuspe...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

Regarding rape victims... Well, it's a tough topic. It would be unfair to get rid of the child because of its father's crime, and I would certainly advise those women to give birth (not necessarily keep the child after) as I believe it would be easier to get through those 9 months and then "sl...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Talk Origins is a site with an anti-theistic, anti-creation agenda. Period. It is pretty obvious whn one thinks he can run to such a site for a few days and come back and pop everyone's balloon. Many on this forum have been having these discussions for years. It is unfortunate that you swallow the ...
