If you have a creationist account for things like cladistics = geology = genetics or endogenous retroviruses or broken vitamin C genes, I'd love to hear them.
Honestly, I don't know what you just said, but I'm guessing that was your point. But again, you dismiss things every day w/out knowing the details of them, so why can't I?
What exactly did you think that evolution is?
My mom had black hair. I have black hair. Whoopee.
My sister is not a frog though.
come on then atheists, sell it to me
tell me exactly how my life would be happier and more satisfiying by dumping Christianity and becoming atheist
don't complain about being asked to sell it
in the real world where if you don't sell then you don't have a business and no one will give you money because you have nothing to offer anyone
so sell it, sell your atheism to a Christian
No. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
Don't be fooled by the PHds, everyone knows only a small % of people describing themselves as scientists actually will contribute anything worthwhile and revoluationary to the world.
Posting thousands of stupid anti-God messages to prop up your creaky atheism is such a poor use of one's time. Go do your science, get a real job.
We extremely gifted scientists are perfectly capable of multi-tasking, or post here while working at our desks doing otherwise dull but necessary amounts of data analysis OR post here in our free time. Remember, your post count is far higher than many of the scientists you rail against, including me.
We have real jobs changing the world. What is it you do again? What was the subject of your postgrad study? And what was the awarding institute?
oh really? should we present your employers with your thousands of anti-God pro-gay posts and see what they've got to say about it, all that time you've wasted on here instead of doing your science
As a researcher in a secular institution they would be entirely indifferent, and what they care about is my research, which is exemplary.
well we could take the matter to a more public arena and see how the taxpayers feel about funding your "research"
There is no need, they benefit from it already
"militant atheist abuses university internet to promote homosexuality and atheism - thousands of anti-God messages posted from a govt employee" nice headline, bet the taxpayers will be so proud of you and how their money gets spent.
Posting on messgae boards is not listed as an abuse of the university internet. Sorry to disappoint you.
you think I'm stupid?
The rules of CARM forbid me to say.
Hi there
I need to know if I can claim benefits.
I ran a limited co. for the last 3 years which really did well. I employed myself at min wage and paid the rest of my profits to myself as dividends.
This meant I had lots of cash. So in this tax year I paid myself a huge amount in dividend making myself a higher rate taxpayer, and bought a flat outright with this and everything I had.
A month later, and my contracts with the ltd co. have ceased meaning I am effectively making myself redundant by not paying myself a salary anymore as I have no work to do.
I have less than £6k savings. I have about £6k left in the company that I can take as dividends. Can I claim benefits until my ltd co. gets another contract for me to work on?
Council tax in the flat is £100/month, service charge £100/month too. I have no mortgage.
I know this is cheeky but then again I have paid in lots of tax in the last 3 years when the going was good so please don't be too harsh on me
So if I were to sack myself as an employee of my own companies and put all my money into properties... could I claim benefits? As then I would have less than £6k in savings thus meeting the criteria for claiming benefits.
I have a 1st class degree in Mathematics therefore anyone who has not achieved a 1st class degree has no credible grounds to allege that I'm more unintelligent than them since I have obtained a higher educational qualification.
BSc (Hons) 2:1 Physics (Cardiff Uni)
BSc (Hons) 1st Mathematics and Statistics (Birckbeck)
I was made unemployed earlier this year and since then I have set up my own company (running for 3 months) which has turned over just short of £35000.
you?
more, so you lose
good luck however
What Christianity is not: Is is not a religion.
The atheists decided that the definition for atheism is, "A lack of belief in God(s)."
Okay, quesiton. Since a rock lacks belief in God(s), then isn't it an atheist?
I read your links and I'm not convinced the Grand Canyon is older than 3500 years.
How do you know that the Bible is God's word? It was compiled, recompiled, translated, rearranged, stories were removed and added, entire concepts were decided by majority's vote. After that it is translated a few more times, then interpreted subjectively in a few thousand ways.
1. How do you know that a deity authored it
2. How do you know it is accurate
God Almighty put a conscience in man and we know what is right from wrong..
we know..we HAVE NO EXCUSE SIR, NO EXCUSE TO NOT BELIEVE GOD'S WORD
JUST LIKE ADAM AND EVE HAD NO EXCUSE
SO U GO AND TELL YOUR SAD SONGS TO SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES THEM
THIS PREACHER KNOWS BETTER
You again avoid the question entirely.
I'm not interested in your views on morality, they are entirely beside the point here.
I asked you, twice now : How do you know the Bible is God's word?
1. How do you know that a deity authored it
2. How do you know it is accurate
Are you unable to answer these simple questions about your beliefs? Is all you can do scream with capslock?
You know it is God's Word just like you know there is a God,and that He is your Creator,you have that knowledge in you,you just choose not to believe and obey Him..you have no excuse sir, none!
Evos like to claim that human heads have changed over the eons because the "head genes" have accidentally mutated.
Time to stop comparing the Christian God with such things as Santa Claus, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and the Tooth Fairy, as those aren't even accurate comparisons. (paraphrased)
Fine, then let's pick some ones with did and do have comparative beliefs. Allah. Vishnu. Buddha. Thor. Zeus. The Fates. Apotamkin. Odin. Atlas. Loki. Ares. Cronus. Uranus. Hathor. Ra. Chaos. Eros. There's plenty of stuff to compare it to beyond the obvious ones.
atheism... Allah. Vishnu. Buddha. Thor. Zeus. The Fates. Apotamkin. Odin. Atlas. Loki. Ares. Cronus. Uranus. Hathor. Ra. Chaos. Eros.
slime becomes people walking upright and going to the moon. All you need is time and accidents...talk about fairy tales and make believe!
I thought the purpose of apologetics was to make Christianity look less ridiculous. It seems if you want to achieve this, you best take a science class or two and learn something about actual evolutionary theory instead of using a blatant strawman like that.
insulting comment. banned for a week.
It doesn't make sense to have a woman created from a bone.
Adam didn't have eggs.
Mr. Slick, I would request you at least stop using personal attacks, if that's okay.
Read the rules. I'm morally correct in what I do, per the rules and if you as an atheist were to object, all I have to do is cite atheist moral subjectivity as your lack of right to object.
Rule #9:
No name-calling, insults, or mockery of a board poster on forums/chatroom/message systems. No negative comments of any sort concerning a board user, do not quote or misquote a poster in signature unless linked to full context of quote as copy right issue, since only Super Members may link in signature, quoting of users in signatures not permitted for the average poster, feel free to quote posters in body of messages as usual to responses with context, do not discuss or gossip about a forum poster. Do not use vulgarity, which includes abbreviations of vulgar terms, offensive nicknames, attack or insult a poster with nicknames.
Rule #11:
Do not be divisive or inflammatory. Moderators will determine what is inflammatory.
Comment: What gave the Bible away as Mystical? The talking snakes, rib woman, mud man, magic fruit, unicorn, Jewish zombies or maybe the turning water into wine was a hard sell. Ya think all of those things could have gone eithe way.,.. myth, fact, fact, myth... who knows?
Spider's Response: And rocks evolving into monkeys, and then into men is more plausible?
Fail #1:
Comment: No, dust is made out of US. WE are made from many varying chemicals and elements.
Spider's retort: And Adam was initially formed from dust.
Fail #2:
Comment: How does this make Eve being created from his rib any less ridiculous?
Spider's retort: Scientists have cloned sheep from 1 cell. I don't consider it to be a huge stretch to believe God could make woman from a rib.
Fail #3:
Comment: You still believe that a talking snake existed at some point.
Spider's retort: I believe Satan presented himself as a talking snake, at least.
Fail #4:
Comment: Jesus was a zombie. A resurrected dead body is precisely the same as a re-animated one. Flesh eating or not, Jesus was a corpse brought from the dead. If I recall, one of his disciples even put his hands in his wounds.
Spider's retort (by far the best): They are synonyms, but not the same.
The earth is approx. seven thousand years old. nuff said..Read the creation account. Gen.1 ff
The earth is not a circle. It's a globe. Duh. Duh. Double duh.Nate's Reply:
Triple Duh. A globe and a circle are something in a round shape. I have them both printed out in front of me. Can you show me where one equals something other than something in a round type of shape?Someone doesn't understand that globe is 3D while circle is 2D. lol That darn Bible has got him all twisted up.
How do they know that these stars are 13.2 billion years old? what did they use for a benchmark that they know without a doubt is that old? I do not know if the earth is the center of the universe but it does make sense if He was near the earth when He created it that all light energy went out from Him so it was here before it was there.
