ATHEIST HATE THREAD

[T-t-t-Terry!]

As for dinosaurs, Genesis makes it clear that God created all the creatures but it doesn't name any particular ones other than humans and the serpent during the week of creation. Dinosaurs were creatures of the land the sea and the air so they're included. It's not really an issue.

The history of atheistic revolutionary movements from the French onwards makes a liar out of you.

The USSR and the First Republic are long gone. I can only speak for myself but my mentor in University was an Evangelical Christian. We had nothing but respect for each other's beliefs.

My priest said Enoch is interesting and probably contains some truth. It's just not necessary for salvation and that's why it was left out of the canon.

WWAWD Gospel of Eve?

Sounds suspect if you ask me.

Yeah sounds like bullshit. Enoch is in the dead sea scrolls and Job quoted from it so we know that it has some pedigree. One bishop quoting this "gospel" to denounce people who are committing heresy isn't quite the same.

My priest also said the "Gospel of Thomas" is good if you need kindling or a doorstop, or maybe a wobbly table that needs shoring up.

Actually there is no formal logic that can prove formal logic. Karl Popper taught us the job of science is to disprove a thesis. Not to prove it.

Yes. The theory of falsification was a concept album. Changed everything.

Actually I have one religious/superstitious believe. Any time I consult the I Ching it's totally right and I can't explain it. It's not like a horoscope. It says very specific things.

Great game.

Secrets of the I Ching was the name of one of 10,000 Maniacs first albums. Young Natalie Merchant was lovely, but I don't see myself living my life around her teachings.

That's one ten thousand I'm not willing to march upcountry with.

The atheists always seem to attack the least intellectual proponents of theism, and seek out the lowest hanging fruit when they have this discussion.
Very rarely do you see them genuinely pursue the matter as opposed to promoting rhetoric and selling books. Science and the scientific method does not necessarily hold domain over the spiritual. These very same people would be offended if you tried to use science and/or statistics to prove the beauty or superiority of certain types of cultures, music, art, ethics etc. but don't realize they are committing the same folly in attacking people's spiritual beliefs. They are anti-human in their stance.

Why don't they use scientific thought to attack poetry? because it's stupid to do that? oh...

No one is basing their life off of the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Religion is often at odds with science because they are incongruous in explaining how we ended up here. One is based on faith and belief while the other is based on empirical evidence.

The manners of speech and the language of each area of thought are completely divergent, each covering separate aspects of humanity. When you take religion to a scientific debate or science to a religious discussion and compare them strictly 1 to 1 the incongruity lies with your own valuations and perceptions and not with the subjects at hand. That's how I see it.

Humanity should not be without either.
