custom36 5 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 This makes me kinda sad.AOL voters are pretty dumb. I've watched Who Wants to be a Millionaire a few times while waking up the past few mornings. One question was about the Balco scandal and whether it involved "crappy answer A," "crappy answer B," "sports doping," or "crappy answer D."45% chose Crappy Answer B. 33% chose Sports Doping.

MisterB 2 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 Ahhhh... its easy to say he has selective listening for some things... and he listens to others.... blah blah blah... once again evidence against his existenceLightning, form of visible electric discharge between rain clouds or between a rain cloud and the earth (see Electricity). The discharge is seen in the form of a brilliant arc, sometimes several kilometers long, stretching between the discharge points. The discharge also sets up a sound wave that is heard as thunder.no mention of god here Link to post Share on other sites

I'd sure as hell lose my faith though, if I said a prayer for my family and then got struck by lightning. Talk about an ultimate kick to the balls. Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, this is your big argument? Get help- ask for Crow or Tim or anybody with half a brain to help you with your arguments because you need something. Like the Phoenix Suns, you lack depth.

Like the Phoenix Suns, you lack depth.I lack depth? I really didnt feel like getting into all the reasons that God does not exist... What I merely was pointing out that is some people can shape completely random experiences to say it was the hand of "GOD".... that "GOD" intervened and saved me... well you want to have an in-depth discussion please lets start....What proof is there that god exists?

MDXS 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 You first- give me " proof " that he doesn't. Then, systematically I will tell you why it isn't really proof.The burden of proof is on proponents of him existing. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. The idea that there is an all-knowing, all-powerful being that is extremely interested in the minutia of our existence is most certainly an extraordinary claim. Link to post Share on other sites

The idea that there is an all-knowing, all-powerful being that is extremely interested in the minutia of our existence is most certainly an extraordinary claim. You assume he is interested, when in fact he actually is only interested in those who are interested in him. The rest, in short, can go to hell.*(Paraphrasing, obviously, his words not mine.) The idea that we came from something instead of nothing, that we had a creator instead ofjust appearing randomly, is not that extraordinary. It's actually the opposite- it's like if I showed you my brand new Hummer in my driveway and when you asked how I got it I tell you, " I don't know. It was in fact a pile of wheelbarrows not two days ago but I blew them up, and I got this. I don't get it- it seems impossible, but here you go. " You would say, in short " You are lying. " Now, if I told you that some guys built it on my driveway, that would not be extraordinary at all. The burden of proof has never been on creationists, in that our thinking is quite ordinary, simple really. In fact, neither side at this point can prove there position beyond reasonable doubt, and most intelligent people realize that it will never happen. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't claim to be an intellectual, and wouldn't want to be. From what I have seen, intellectuals seem to think themselves right into hell. Link to post Share on other sites

Loismustdie 0 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hey, I am open to discussion, but the correlation between quote on quote intelligence and a propensity to lack any sort of belief or faith is astounding, it's undeniable. Link to post Share on other sites
Petoria 0 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hey, I am open to discussion, but the correlation between quote on quote intelligence and a propensity to lack any sort of belief or faith is astounding, it's undeniable.Yeah, but the problem is, what makes it more likely that you are, in fact, right and there is a God, as opposed to the intelligencia, who, you claim, have no belief system? Wouldnt it be more logical to go with the people who you have already admitted are more intelligent. Seems like you missed a step in your logic, which is what speedz99 and I are saying.
