Like Aliza said, no one here on the godless side of the table gives a hoot about the bible.  

Got anything else?  So far we've had complexity, information and scriptures.  Do you have any idea how many times such things have been presented here before?

Because the future is predicted in the Book of Daniel and in other books.  There are prophecies that came to light.

Fact: Goldfish remember better in cold water than warm water.

OP, why don't you just pray for us to believe? Oh, that's right, prayer doesn't work, nobody's listening.

Vague predictions and hokey fallacies are no replacements for good facts at your side, kid.

Anybody who calls on prophecy in the 21st C. is a fool or a troll.

The compartmentalization is strong with this one!

Then again, they cherry pick their own bible to bits ...Is nothing sacred!

Actually, no.  Nothing is sacred.

Sacred is a meaningless concept.

See, I'm retired.  I can tell him he's a fucking moron every day and never get tired of doing so.



I have all the time in the world.

Min, fix the pic!

Got it.  I wonder why that happens?

Say.... you don't suppose it is one of those fucking miracles the morons are always yammering on about, do you?

There's also a lot of junk information in DNA that serves no purpose, and that indicates a lack of intelligent design. There is a lot of information in the DNA, but that doesn't mean it was put there by a designer.

Wrong.  What use to be called "junk DNA" is now called non-coding DNA.  Other functions are performed.  The information acts like an operating system.  Over 85 percent of the DNA serves a purpose.
