The historical reality of the spiritual element of life is not.

Dad1 – Can you explain what you are talking about with that up there???

That people have inner ‘spiritual’ thoughts?  So what?  How’s that proof of god?

The baby dies.

Yes, that is true.  But, children and grown people also die and life goes on.  What’s your point?

All your questions can be answered in 5 letters. Jesus.

That really says it all, doesn’t it.  The easy answer for everything Jesus.  The world was made in 6 thousand years, we are here to consume it fast as we can, and we’ll live in heaven for ever and ever after we die.  And that’s it.  Read the Bible, all answers are to be found in the Bib…[Read more]

Voice of reason – is something that includes an interesting in learning.  You’ve displayed zero interest in learning.

@Dad1   Perhaps all folks that oppose the mass murder of babies can be kept from threads like this and your views would be the only ones left.

The irony is astounding.  An unborn fetus, an un…[Read more]

God is the human EGO run amuck, and materialized.

I also find Christianity to be morally repugnant. The concepts of original sin, depravity, substitutionary forgiveness, intolerance, eternal punishment, and humble worship are all beneath the dignity of intelligent human beings and conflict with the values of kindness and reason. They are…

The Right of Abortion

They had all that and more in the paradise of Eden. Man threw it all away.

Where was that?

When was that?

Were you there?

What do you know about it?

@dad1. He made a way to get it back.

Get back to what?

What way is that?

Who’s he?

That way is not pretending man can save himself.

Who said man could escape his self destructiveness?

Yonkey.   But 2a in math is the same as aa, it just simplifies to 2a.

W4U.  I disagree, in mathematics  2a is a multiplication, not an addition or a concatenation.

Wait a minute, this is starting to sound like a theological argument.  😉

concatenation = a series of interconnected things or events.  &.   the action of linking things toget…

Mike Keefe drew a cartoon in the Denver Post that perfectly portrays a prevailing attitude toward our rogue weather. The cartoonist shows a man pointing at a calendar and yelling at the thunder clouds (or God?): “What? You having trouble with the small print? The calendar says it’s spring, dammit!” It makes me wonder who’s…

@Dad1. I agree!   🤣

Probably this helps affect the weather and climate.

“Probably”  😳  You haven’t a clue, do you.  Guess it’s another topic you’ve never stopped to actually learn about.

@Dad1. There is was and worldwide famine coming. Climate change is like the minor leagues.

@Dad1  –  There is no reason to think God is a liar and that such foolishness has any merit.

That’s funny.  The personal God’s that people have created for themselves are full of lies.  The Bible is full of lies.  People are full of lies.   Simply because. you’re ego blinds you to evidence, does make your imagined real, or honest.  Are you one of…[Read more]

I agree with the heartnsoul that we’ll never fully understand evolution or the complexities within our bodies and the universe beyond.  Though we are giving it a heck of a shot.  Too bad we don’t spend as much time digesting what we already know, so fail to comprehend the most of it.

@Dad1   Explain in your own words the best few reasons/data/evidence points that you actually think your close relative is a little flatworm?

Because that’s where the physical evidence points to.

Plus the fact that the flow of evidence is so harmoniously self-consistent.  But you wouldn’t have a clue what I mean if you never learned anything a…[Read more]

@Lausten.  (Sam Harris) says wealth is supposed to remember that to create more wealth, it has to re-invest, it has to use some of that wealth to educate, encourage innovation, generally keep the environment healthy so more wealth can be created. We, or at least the ones who hold the wealth, have forgotten that.

Yup I did.  It seems so f…[Read more]

Of course, there are alternative approaches to dealing with the science:

@dad1
Weather is fairly predictable within reason. If all you want to do is give a 7 day forecast, no problem. If you make claims about the climate many thousands of years ago and why you think it changed and how you might think that relates to today or some such long range climate stuff, well, of course you would need to back it up and show the…

 @write4u.  I have also tried to construct an analogical equation of God as the spiritual identification for a quasi intelligent mathematically functioning universe.

But it can’t be done.  As soon as you try to makes sense of the concept of a God in a non-scientific context, you run into trouble.

I’m not so sure about that anymore.

@dad1.      If you claim science has support for ridiculous whoppers like that four hour thing it is up to you to provide/post it. Whether the four hours ‘really’ meant millions of years or whatever doesn’t change anything. Just admit defeat.

@Dad1 makes many dismissive claims towards science, which I happen to know are empty nonsense.  I know this because I’m fairly well read on the topic, meaning that I know there is scientific evidence capable of explaining ORIGINS, not complete, mysteries remain, but heck it’s infinitely complex, how dare we presume we can understand every last…[Read more]

@Lausten.     Any conversation needs a basis.

The most serious discussions I’ve had about human nature began with an agreement that there is no certainty, that some things aren’t known and aren’t provable. When the discussion turned in that direction, everyone had to recognize it and turn back to what can be demonstrated, and if not that, have so…

Rather than spam foolish and godless and baseless fables as if they were science, you need to support your claims. Do not rattle off long stories when you can’t defend a single aspect of them.
