Book of Acts: Pure Fantasy

[The Grand Nudger]

If it isn't actually information I wonder why scientists call it information:

Or why forensic DNA is an information science..

It's not convenient to say that DNA has an alphabet, grammar, semantics, etc..it is a digital code far superior to the best codes we have developed. It is not just a pattern like a snowflake.

Because they're trying to explain a subject to an audience that understands little to nothing about the subject in a language that is understandable to the audience. When an apologist says "The information in DNA" he is talking about an entirely different thing in an entirely different context than a scientist who says "the information in DNA". Because apologetics is a con game, and science is not. I'm criticizing your apologetic bullshit, not their honest inquiry. Next.

The idea of fine tuning did not originate with the intelligent design community. It is not even controversial to suggest that the Universe is fine tuned for life. It is only controversial to suggest that there was a fine tuner. Physicists Paul Davies said:

"There is now broad agreement among physicists and cosmologists that the universe is in several respects ‘fine-tuned' for life"

No, it didn't and neither did the term anthropic bias. Which is the realization that caused those who are not in the apologetics con game to attach the quotes to "fine-tuned for life". The universe is "fine tuned for life" in exactly the same sense that it is fine tuned for death, police sirens, and tassles on bicycles.

There has been research to suggest that the reason we die is because it is in our programming, and this "feature" could be turned off. They speak of developing artificial intelligences that could assume the entire body of human knowledge instantaneously and copy it among themselves. There doesn't seem to be any reason we couldn't live forever, and it is in fact one of the major goals of science to come up with a solution for immortality. If we can become immortal, there is no reason an eternal being couldn't exist.

We die because or bodies degrade over time, because we are biological machines. It's not a command directive that says "today we die". Sure, we might be able to extend our lives greatly, but eventually things will be beyond the point of repair. As of right now, there is not even a proven strategy for increasing longevity, and you're suggesting that research suggests that we may be able to turn off the "death feature"? Bullshit. Transference of consciousnes to a machine, but BL..how would they get the soul into the circuits? There doesn;t seem to be any reason we can;t live forever? Sure, if you intentionally ignore all of the reasons that lead us to conclude that it is likely impossible for us to live forever. It was also a major goal of science to develop perpetual motion machines, that doesn't mean that science did or could or ever will develop such a thing (unless very well demonstrated fundamentals of what we know about physics are completely overturned. Possible, but highly implausible in many areas). Your if is showing, and supposing we could, then we would be immortal beings. What does this have to do with god? Not a damned thing.

No, I suggested that the reason the writings end at a certain point is because of the flood. There was a pre-flood civilization before the flood which was very advanced, certainly far more than the civilizations of antiquity.

The writings begin at the point where we developed writing, which is only a small fraction of the total time that we have been here. There is no evidence for your deluge, it is a fairy tale. Biblical Atlantis? Again, bullshit, there was no such civilization.

I'm still waiting on your evidence that there isn't a God, as you asserted in our earlier conversation.

Your lack of evidence combined with your own fairy tales is all the evidence required. You have nothing to show for your god, the stories you lean on as the only source of information about this god are demonstrably false. If a god exists, it is not the one you've thrown your chips in with, I'm sorry for your luck.
