Do you ever get tired of being wrong?
Treaty of Tripoli. Signed under President Washington, ratified under President Adams.
Article 11:
As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation
Yes we believe the Ten Commandments were properly formulated after the creation of Man. At man's creation The Ten Commandments were programmed into man's heart through
what we know as The Voice of Conscience. Eventually these became codified in various religions. Throughout history, the Ten Commandments have been used as a framework for
expounding all of our ethical responsibilities. (Dr Art Lindsley) Certain religions adhered to it more than others, but Commandments like Do not kill, Do not steal, do not commit Adultery were basically widespread. Sure today's Godless laws are becoming
more and more arbitrary and man made, but historically this was not so.
And we cannot say that Conscience or Consciousness is not God-given and just purely materialistic and results from meaningless random electron movements in our brain, which is
the result of random meaningless processes that manufactured the brain. That's why religion is so widespread, Materialisitc Atheism is counter intuitive.

Hey, I said maybe. If an algorithm can figure out how to win in checkers maybe even someone who has been wired to see and promote god will learn.
That algorithm was programmed by Intelligent Designers called scientists, correct?
