Hey Gae. Could you ever be a deist at least? Just curious.
Quote:Also, what if common ancestry proves not to be true. It is a debated topic.It's not, really...that's just something you tell yourself so that you don't have to confront facts inconvenient to your beliefs....which aren't necessary beliefs for a christian to hold....but if common ancestry turned out to be inaccurate then we would be dealing with two or more independent instances of life having arisen in such incredibly similar ways as to be indistinguishable and reproductively compatible. Obviously this would explain nothing not already explained by common ancestry and have absolutely no relevance to superstitious beliefs.
Ultimately, if we ever find life on some other rock then we'll have an example of life having arisen independently multiple times and this isn't something that would really surprise me - but it won't change those facts of biology on this rock that make common descent the overwhelmingly more plausible scenario.
Quote:Could you ever accept Christianity? If so, what would it take. Try to be serious on this one. I am curious.No. I'm not interested in killing the better man to pay for my parking tickets, or spending eternity with any asshole who would. That I'm not a christian has very little to do with my atheism, in the end. I have a moral objection to your terrible religion...and that's -before- folks like you make it even more ridiculous than it already is/was.
