It's pointless. You should just quit while you're ahead because you can't fix stupid and you're trying to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

We should keep this going at least until Beccs finds someone to stab.  We owe her that much.

Actually, there's plenty of people she can readily choose from.

But it needs to be someone special.

Someone who won't faint while being vivisected.

Didn;t have to, could have been the shortest convo ever:

"Hi, I was led to believe that ID was super legit and proved god, what do you guys think?"

Nope, ID is a failed hypothesis and nothing to do with any god if any god exists.

"Well I;ll be damned, thanks for helping me out guys..I;ll go and sin no more!"

You;re welcome.

.................but nooooooooo, lol.

In what way does ID qualify as a hypothesis?   What does it predict that is both unique and falsifiable?

It also says the following: (https://www.alternet.org/belief/11-kinds...ove-ignore )

Quote:[*]Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material. Leviticus 19:19

[*]Ye shall not round the corners of your heads. Leviticus 19:27

[*]All that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you. Leviticus 9:10

[*]Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk. Exodus 23:19
[*]When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean. Leviticus 15: 19-20
[*]When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, then you shall cut off her hand. Deuteronomy 25:11-12 
[*]Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. 2 Kings 2:23-25 NIV
[*]Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered. Matthew 21:18-22 NIV

From that same website comes the following: 

Quote:Times when the Bible God is worse than Satan. In the Bible, Satan is described as a roaring lion who prowls the earth, seeking whom he may devour. But if you actually read the stories, Satan doesn’t do much other than to tempt people into disobeying the dictates of Yahweh, who acts like a heavenly dictator with borderline personality disorder. God, by contrast, professes his undying love, kindness and mercy, but then commands his minions to commit brutal atrocities when he isn’t up for it himself. 

• Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves.Numbers 31:17-18
  

[*]

And this little gem:

Quote:Instructions for slave masters. The reality is that the Bible says much more in support of slavery than against it. Even the New Testament Jesus never says owning people is wrong. Instead, the Bible gives explicit instructions to masters and slaves. Awkward.

• You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT
  
  
• Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. Ephesians 6:5 NLT

I could go on, but I posted the link so you can clearly see the rest of the absurdity that is your bible, for yourself. You probably won't though because you believe it to be the infallible word of your pathetic god.
