No, that's just a byproduct of the terrible theist arguments.

And also how wonderful we all are.

As for snowtracks, I don't really know what else you want: I've already expressed to you that "improbable" is not the same as "impossible," so no matter how the odds stack out, given that they aren't zero, calculating them won't get you closer to working out what actually happened.

And when you're called on having a god for which you are unwilling to calculate the odds, you recourse to calling god "an effect." Congrats, that's a completely content free explanation. What do you mean, he's an effect? And where is your evidence that this is so?

like i said, you guys love the word 'nothing'.
and that's what i'm getting to the question.
Errr... then what are the odds of god being created by random chance out of something?
"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Here is deal, snowtracks. Instead of bitching at us about what egotistical assholes we are for treating the moron so badly, why don't you pick a topic and start a thread stating your position. Then we will see if you are willing to actually address any of the arguments directed against your position and have a civil debate. Or do the same thing Gracie did which is put your hands over your ears and scream GODDIDIT GODDIDIT GODDIDIT at the top of your lungs until the rest of us are left with no alternative other than ridicule you too.

Not bad advice, Pappy Great
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
