If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people — House

I can't wait  I am going to put on my prophet hat and make the prediction that you will use the following arguments: Cosmological argument Teleological argument Presupositionalism (a real popular one these days) Ontological argument (possibly the modal version) The Moral argument Even though they are all fallacious, you will continue to believe they are strong arguments. You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I agree, it was worth repeating.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Yeah, I think it's one of those instances where you had to be there. The sermon on the mount, for instance, was probably Jesus doing a twenty-minute standup routine, but it didn't come across on the page. The reviews were pretty lousy, as well. Probably why they closed the same night.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Such ignorance of the bible is astonishing. There is no cure for leprosy in Leviticus. Go back and read it again and cure your ignorance! The ritual stated was for people who HAD ALREADY BEEN CURED of their leprosy.
