How do you know the universe can’t contradict itself? You would have to observe this to be true and considering we can observe and test very little of the universe this is a conclusion unfounded. Even if the universe didn’t contradict itself, which I believe is the case but because God tells us it won’t, this does not mean that we humans should or ought to act in a way similar to the universe. So you still have no foundation for being logical and rational.
Because the Universe is a fact and facts can't contradict themselves, unless one of the facts is either fake or misinterpreted, and we do act in similar way to universe, because we're part of it, it's called life and our morals evolve with our evolution both social and biological
Quote: Absolute morality? that's why priests still rape children, while society as moved one besides, your so called "absolute morality" was stolen from the Egyptian book of the dead(yes another religious book but at least this one had things thought out and the bible/torah just copied it halfassed ignoring other important rules)
That's just the god of gaps argument, filling gaps in knowledge with the word "god did it" just because we don't know.
How do you know it was stolen from the Egyptians? Were you there to witness this? The Bible says that man is fallen and chooses according to his sinful nature, so the fact there is “evil” in the world adds more validity to its claims. In fact, it gives us the absolute moral standards to be able to say rape and murder are wrong. Using your worldview you’d have no basis to tell anyone anything is wrong and they should act in any particular way.[/quote]
Because 7 of the 10 Commandments are exactly the same just worded differently and even so, the Egyptian had these rules set before Abrahamic god gave the ten commandments, meaning that the Egyptian had already these rules and these rules are independent of him, if you think the rules is a moral code of divine providence, boy your barking at the wrong god.
Social Evolution might explain "evil".
Quote: Then your standards are pretty much skewered because you ignore claims that have been peer reviewed with a lot of proof, and choose to accept claims that have either proven false or just show a small contradiction in a large more broading theory, besides the point that the reason of that contradiction is most probable justified with other insignificant causes

I was explaining your faults besides the pope has rejected creationism some time ago, so it's unchristian to believe in creationism as nothing more than allegory, of course you can just refuse it or be part of one of the many sects that is not part of the mainstream catholic
