[QUOTE=Billiam;18361796]Isn't there a story in the bible about god wanting to lose followers?[/QUOTE]
Well that sure seems to work all dandy.
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361800]So you won't accept proof because you don't believe that the proof is proof, what a conundrum.[/QUOTE]
You won't believe hundreds of years of scientific evidence because of some ridiculous set of circumstances such as incorrect measurements and observations, how convenient to your own cause.
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361772]Compare how he usually posts with how he posts when he pretends to be smart, it's hilarious.[/QUOTE]
I don't "usually" put effort into posting like Einstein because hey I've got other shit to do but sometimes it's just fun to watch people like you squirm in an attempt to make themselves look better at all costs.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;18361801]Science rarely agrees with the bible. Are you going to believe a book written thousands of years ago by some people in the desert, or the cumulative knowledge of millions of the greatest human minds in history?[/QUOTE]
Millions of the greatest minds in history were also Christian.
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361824]Why shouldn't I discount secular scientists if you discount religious ones?[/QUOTE]
Because "god did it" is an invalid hypothesis for any situation.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;18361798]So, is Genesis true, or is it metaphorical?[/QUOTE]
metaphorical. That's why we can't find the garden.

The irony in this post is amazing, because the only person squirming and trying to feel better about themselves is you, the rest of us are actually debating.
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361846]Millions of the greatest minds in history were also Christian.[/QUOTE]
Cool, millions of the greatest minds weren't.
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361846]Millions of the greatest minds in history were also Christian.[/QUOTE]
Yet these great minds don't let religion interfere with their work.
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361846]Millions of the greatest minds in history were also Christian.[/QUOTE]
Like Hitler.
The debate's been over since you claimed all science is wrong. Now I'm just having fun with it.
[QUOTE=teh pirate;18361856]Because "god did it" is an invalid hypothesis for any situation.[/QUOTE]
If you summarize all religious scientists to that phrase, then why shouldn't I summarize all seculars to "nature did it"?
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361886]If you summarize all religious scientists to that phrase, then why shouldn't I summarize all seculars to "nature did it"?[/QUOTE]
Because "nature did it" is something that can be elaborated on. "God did it" cannot. That's the entire substance of your argument.

The last ditch arguments of nonbelievers who are beat.
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361723]How cute, you're using big words in an attempt to lend yourself credibility despite not refuting anything.[/QUOTE]
How cute, you've made a bunch of claims and not proven any of them, and nobody has proven that a god exists.
Also, you can't prove that god exists by misrepresenting a bunch of data and quote mining in an attempt to give the bible some credibility. That's like me poking out your eyes and then telling you that I've proven that light doesn't exist.
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361897]The last ditch arguments of nonbelievers who are beat.[/QUOTE]
You're the one who said carbon dating and astronomy is all wrong. That's a pretty big last ditch.
I'm not beat, just tired at the frivolity of this.

Uh-huh, is that so? You understand of course that EVERY ONE OF US thinks you're either incredibly stupid or a very determined (and incredibly stupid) troll? It doesn't matter how we conduct ourselves in this argument. You've already lost. We could all spam pictures of bananas at you and our arguments would still be more solid.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;18361895]Because "nature did it" is something that can be elaborated on. "God did it" cannot. That's the entire substance of your argument.[/QUOTE]
The simplest solution is most often the correct one.
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361897]The last ditch arguments of nonbelievers who are beat.[/QUOTE]
Getting ready to leave so soon? The corpse of your argument is still twitching, we haven't beaten it thoroughly enough.
To prove God exists is to destroy the foundation of most churches.

Ah, but then one could argue that we were not designed to be homosexual by nature and that if we were computers, homosexuality would be a glitch or bug.
Also regarding the first half of what I said, "Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina."
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361886]If you summarize all religious scientists to that phrase, then why shouldn't I summarize all seculars to "nature did it"?[/QUOTE]
Probably because that argument made absolutely no sense.
Nature is not a cause. Nature is just the sum of all physical phenomena. It didn't do anything.
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361922]The simplest solution is most often the correct one.[/QUOTE]
Gigantic man in the sky that knows all and sees all but not really because people still defy him but whatever he's god
VERSUS
Huge cosmic accident
[QUOTE=SpiritOfTheRedman;18361922]The simplest solution is most often the correct one.[/QUOTE]
Wow, that's your argument?
HAHAHAHAHA Please stop fucking responding to this guy, it's the same old shit we've all dealt with before.

Which is more believable? Which has been proven to exist through indisputable evidence?

Quantum physics isn't very simple, at least for somebody like you, it might be a tough hurdle to overcome, imagining that god had time to make all those tiny little quarks and such.

Nobody has "proven" evolution exists either, for a scientist you sure are bad at scientist.
Also your metaphor is broken.

Or you could just mind your own damn business and let people fuck whomever agrees to fuck them.

God made the entire universe with the snap of his fingers, don't you pay attention in science class :downs:

This explanes why the Health Care bill is not getting through so easily. But that's another topic.

It's been proven to an extent.
