I asked you a very simple question - Do you think you are more of an expert on evolution that Richard Dawkins or Steve Zara?

Clearmind

Fuck it, I am going to ask you a very simple question because I am highly annoyed with you.

How did Professor Richard Dawkins get his credentials? Do you think a man of his intellect and prowess suddenly made all this shit up on the fly, you know, the first thing that came into his head?


How about a little closer to home, if this offends you Steve I will promise to apologise for anything I get wrong here.

Dr Steve Zara is an expert. He has studied his subject for more years than I have been alive (please don't hit me I am still 29 until August!)

He has taught what he knows and I am damn sure he studies things VERY well. You ask him about a varying number of subjects and Steve is the sort of man to think before he types and THINK he does. Another thing I know is that he is not arrogant enough to admit when he doesn't know something or when he is wrong, a trait you could do well to acquire.

I do not wish to kiss this mans arse, for one thing his husband might kill me, but he is not my god or my hero - very simply put he is an in incredibly intelligent man!

So Clearmind, you think you can take the intellect of Steve on? You got the knowledge? You have the education and commitment? Don't tell me the Bible has better knowledge because I can provide countless examples where its knowledge is totally worthless. That's how good a historian I profess to be, if I am wrong, please fire at will.

Dr Steve Zara and Professor Richard Dawkins are just two of along list of people who have had an inspiration into my learning of evolution. I can write a whole list of the most intelligent people I have ever read on this site and I mean it. People on this site have studied, what you have done is guessed, assumed and arrogantly postulated

READ FOR FUCKS SAKE!

OH....MY....DOG!

What are these people on? No matter how much their god gets squashed and backed further into the corner they continue to scrape the bottom of the barrel for more "goddidit!"

So, Lenski & co observe evolution in a test tube and write it down for everyone to read, so far so good.

Behe-hehehhehahahhahawoooooootwoooooooot- & co then proceed to claim that somehow, because they can't actually accept what is written on the peer reviewed paper, their god was involved even though the only thing in the sodding test tube that was observed and tested was EVOLUTION! Nooooo they say, we needed to be there at the experiment because obviously these naughty scientists are making this up!

These people are dribbling maniacs and are constantly bollocking around impeding the efforts of science. When is this going to stop? I swear without religion we would be so much more advanced by now, who the hell do these idiots think they are impressing?

Logicel

I think it works something like this:

Issiah 6 in the Bible, its utter drivel but I think it helps me make my point.

The short end of it all is that unless you are a believer in Yahweh you are essentially blind, deaf and your heart is closed. Those that have opened their hearts, eyes and ears to Yahweh are "special" for they know things that unbelievers don't and they will be damned (quite literally) if they are going to keep this "special" knowledge to themselves.

Of course, people like David are fearful of their god, for he shall send them to a nasty place if they are not seen spreading The Word and so they want to scare the crap out of small kids and the credulous so they can feel safe! So that is why having this "special" knowledge of the Christian religion is so important, once you know about it you can save yourself from getting sent to the nasty fiery place set up by the nice celestial dictator who is demanding all this!

Awwwwww isnt that sweet! :)

The Bard is always a good one to quote when you need to muster up something hearty and inspiring to say before embarking on a strongly worded letter to The Daily Telegraph or describing the awful state of all wrongness that is my cooking! :)


Marriage as far as I am concerned is a great day out with some fine attire, sometimes good speeches, booze, small children running around and tripping the adults over and stupid dancing - just as long as it is not me who is doing the whole marriage bit. Quetz knows where you would find a woman that utterly insane to make her way out of the asylum to last through the ceremony for one thing!

Philip pauses, feels great compulsion to slurp at Tea... white light floods head...no, I just can't do it...the women and children, they would get caught in the crossfire...

Stupid, credulous, scaremongering bastards, they make me sick! Its not enough that their batshit religion tells them they have it on almighty authority to marry as many women as possible so then they turn around and use the same batshit authority to stop people getting married! Bloody hypocrites! Grrrr!

70. The Flea Delusion

Comment #199027 by Philip1978 on June 25, 2008 at 5:19 am

Richard Morgan

So would that be the same god who set Adam and Eve up for the fall, send his own son down to earth to die as a scapegoat in a pretty brutal fashion? Thus claiming that despite you not being present at either of these events somehow that makes you a sinner and unworthy of that god's love until you obey his rules!

Is this the Deuteronomy (13 and 22) god who condones rape and killing in his name, or the Judges 19 god who doesn't mind the rape of virgins as long as its not male house guests who don't get buggered, plus the type of god to visit you with a plague of terrible things lest you do not worship him? Or the Leviticus god who hates homosexuals and has inspired a global condemnation of gay people who have been persecuted because of it?

Or is this the New Testament god who sends his suicide trip scapegoat son down to say that in order to stop god from sending you to an eternity of a fiery pit you have to love him and obey his dictatorial rules (which according to the gospels the rules from the Old Testament stand true)

This same Jesus who demands that you must hate your friends and family in order to be his cross carrying disciple (Luke 14:25)

Come on Richard you can do better than that! Get your head out the clouds man! God does not love you, mostly because he doesn't exist, but from what you can read about him you can see that it is Stockholm Syndrome kind of love and not real love.

Real love is from real people

I would probably go so far as to call it "the necessary requirements", surely that is the thing that needs explaining to make a watch watchy or a cell celly

There are necessary requirements for a watch to essentially to "be" a watch as we humans would identify with it, now that we know about cells, there are necessary requirements - or perhaps "essentials" another word that springs to mind- that give the functions that cells carry out.

I will ponder this some more...

Bravo! Good to have you here and I am with the others when I say that when you have time add your cosmology discussions, sounds very interesting.

Ah yes, David Robertson, he reckons, as has been shown in his bloody awful letters, that you now are more susceptible to become a Nazi because you have no proper "faith" guiding you. So much so that you may get called a "fundamentalist atheist" if you disagree with any of his "god given" knowledge that supersedes your own and that of experts like Stephen Hawking or Einstein when it comes to explaining the workings of the universe!

As you might tell, he has not made many friends on this site!

If I am mistaken I apologise but when you use the word "origin" are you talking about the start of the Earth type of origin or what Hungarianelephant is talking about concerning how a scientists start their experimentations?

If you are talking about the origins of the universe then I could not answer that because I have not read enough, but I am sure somebody here can give a rough explanation as to how a scientist would go about looking at it.

Ketch22

I don't want to sounds rude here but it was me who asked the question in the first place, you have to show me the evidence.

You postulated that your God is better and more reliable than Thor is, you have to back that up, not me. Should I really have to point it out to you that the Qu'ran states different evidence about Jesus that your Bible does, which one is right?

Historical evidence consists of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary evidence, can you give me a proper corroborated eyewitness view of Jesus? Can you tell me why Jesus is NOT reported by ANYBODY from surrounding countries at the time - trade was going on that area alone and yet not a single soul runs back spreading rumours of a healer, miracle worker, philosopher, heir to the throne, son of Yahweh or El etc, do you not find that strange?

Can you give me anything better than hearsay or talking snakes who eat dirt? Perhaps you could explain for example why Nazareth was a grave yard up until 67AD for the town of Japha?

I am not going to say a further thing until you put down your evidence for the proof of your god, your bible, your Jesus the works. I will happily go and look it up and provide my ideas for us to discuss, but the onus is completely on you to provide evidence for what you assert to be true.


You asserted the Jesus and the God, please can you show them to me?

I have read a couple of his letters, oh my dear dog are you right about them, intellectual joke is being too kind for words.

I think you were right on the Fleabytes thread that he would make an excellent politician - mysterious monies coming from mysterious sources a bonus trait!

I am fully aware responding negatively to his games gives him near sexual excitement in which he can report back to his "flock" (Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! said the sheep) and show us all to be the nasty fundamentalists he thinks we can become with enough Atheist faith as is written in The Creed.

My post above was not an angry one, he needs to do way more than that, ( As I type this I am listening to Placebo's song Centrefolds, such a moving piece of music and a beautiful guitar sound, so no anger here!), but I have made it a point on this site to pick up on people who misrepresent others who don't deserve it.
