Why does science always upstage God?

I'm not the one ignorant on the 1st and 2nd laws I gave. None of you have shown how that's ignorant so you give the lame excuse we don't know as you want to ignore what we know. None of you will be honest and just admit, going by what we know, creation had to be supernatural. You are doing the spoiled brat dance to avoid that. I'm just having fun seeing all your dancing around avoiding that clear fact.

Fine tuning is a deepity.

Show me human beings alive and well on the surface of a nuetron star, and we'll talk about fucking "magic"......

Given that there are terrestrial environs where humans can't survive (at least not without very special help), it's mighty hard to make the case that even the Earth  is finely tuned for human life.

That didn't get around the evidence I gave. 

"Your assertions aren't evidence and don't require evidence to dismiss, they require evidence to accept."


They were not assertions, they are laws of science. You can lie all you want to but it does not change the science.

"Admitting what you don't know something is not ignorance or weakness, it's intellectual integrity."

I gave laws only science fiction people ignore, which is you. We KNOW those laws following what science showed by them being observable, repeatable, and falsifiable, but YOU want to ignore them and remain ignorant. You claiming that I'm the ignorant one is just an.....assertion. I give science, you give assertions. 

You're clearly showing you are a joke regarding integrity. 

On evidence, you haven't provided any so there is nothing to get around.  Provide us with any evidence that god better explains reality than all of the discoveries of scienceand we can start talking.  But remember, since science started to get going properly over the last 400 years, the phenomena attributed to god by religion has been ever shrinking.

Oh and on integrity, you wouldn't know about it if it upped and bit you on the arse, so don't presume to lecture us about not having any.

Our current laws of physics are incapable of accurately describing the universe before the inception of the big bang and so our laws are not knowably applicable at the time when the universe ostensibly began.

But keep spinning your outrageous fantasy for anyone bored enough to listen.

Then why do you come here if you consider a conversation with people here futile?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

All you done in relation to giving evidence is to prove that you don't understand the con you're trying to run. Because you're so far off on what the science says and how much evidence backs it, it's clear you don't understan what you're saying. You're a cut price Banana man.

Yes, I'm alive on this Earth, but they are more places on this Earth where I can't survive unaided than places where I can. 

If a supernatural being fine-tuned the universe for human life, why can't I survive in a geothermal vent, or under six tonnes of gravel? Why is it that I have to breathe a mixture of nitrogen/oxygen and not sulfur dioxide? Why do I need supplemental oxygen to ascend to great heights or descend to great depths? Why can't I thrive in conditions where polar bears or tardigrades seem to make a good living?

The most - the very most - you can claim is that a very, very narrow range of living conditions have been fine-tuned for human beings. And even that claim is more than a little specious, since evolutionary theory has already answered it.

You're very stupid.

They way you phrased that here, your reply implies that you're saying, "If we can live anywhere, on Earth then we can live everywhere on Earth." I'll assume you're not that obtuse to actually believe that. All he was saying that even for this planet, that we do live on, there are still lots of areas that will kill us.

I ignored nothing buddy just nothing you said really matters and the rest of this little temper tantrum can safely be dismissed. You have not established a need for the supernatural let alone a god. The only one who has been dancing around is you doing the same tired two-step as every other desperate god botherer who's come here has. You are not special lamb chop you are just another name no one here will remember in two weeks till you come back with another sock account  Hehe


When you get around to demonstrating that rules that currently apply to things within the universe must apply to before or to the formation of the universe without running afoul of a composition fallacy come back and try again. Also, no one needs to demonstrate the contrary. Also, natural events don't need to  follow the current laws of physics to be natural.  Hehe
