Pascal's Wager and the Selfishness of a "Good God"

"Biblical history" is an oxymoron. There is nothing in any historical or archaeological record to substantiate much of what is written in the Babble. There is no evidence of a flood the covered the entire planet 5,000 years ago. There is no evidence to support the story of Exodus. There is no evidence that Jesus existed. I could go on and on...

Quote: you are showing your intelligence level now.

You mean my intelligence level that refuses to accept unbelievable tales as factual unless there is significant supporting evidence?


Quote: Science never will explain or figure it out,

And people at one time didn't think science could ever explain what causes the sun to shine, what the stars are made of, what causes earthquakes, what causes disease, etc, etc... Congratulations! Your mindset is on the level of ancient ignoramuses!

Quote: as they cant explain any phenomenon

Science "can't explain any phenomenon"? What are you talking about?

Quote:, along with medical science. No miracles, medical, etc. will ever be explained.

It does not mean something is a "miracle" just because it can't be explained. Unless, perhaps, your mind is contaminated by religious crap.


Quote:NDE will never be explained,

Ummm... it kind of has been explained. Pilots undergoing training have blacked out under high G-forces and reported experiences similar to NDE. This is obviously the work of an oxygen starved brain as neurons fire haphazardly. No god necessary!

Quote: and why do they all see the after-life,

What proof do you have that these people "see the after-life"? Like I said, neurons in the brain misfiring can cause all kinds of hallucinations.







Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
