Quote:Because i am not so foolish to repersent one absolute answer as to the nature of the origins of the universe when none are avaiable. I have only presented a possiablity. So why does repersenting a possiablity, trump your absolute? Because my faith, my understanding, my world does not center around the idea that I nor any man at this point in our collective exsistance has any complete/absolute answers.
All you're saying here is that in your eyes you're not being as careless as me. I'd say living by a 2000 year old book is pretty careless really.
Drich Wrote:Meaning my mind is open to possiablities you have closed yourself and your mind off to. That means if the traditional understanding creationism is correct then I my faith remains, If what you believe to be the orgins of creation(in part) turns out to be accurate, then my faith remains. However if you or anyone else who stands behind incomplete absolutes on either side of the arguement find themselves to be wrong, what happens to your/their absolutes then, what happens to your/thier convictions? What happens to their faith?
This is a different spin on Pascal's Wager. Nothing to see here.
Quote:Again I have only ever pointed to emptiness left into the creation account and these silent areas are large enough to completely encapsulate the whole evolutionary account of orgins. Which is another reason my theory trumps yours. Mine is topical and remains with in the parameters of this discussion accounting for both known accounts and tying them together.
The reason why I used Prometheus (the movie, not the god that gave men the revelation of fire ) as an example of a creation account is because as a theory it stands, you actually cannot distinguish between reality and the theory that Prometheus sets forth (that's why I personally think the movie is so brilliant). This begs the question: why does your theory which can't be verified, just like Prometheus, actually hold any weight? We could very well be a science experiment started by beings in a higher dimension than us, which by the nature of the theory, is just as plausible as A&E getting it on with monkey men.
Quote:while yours ripped off from a (good) movie, and even with in the own movies the plot line states that the opening sequence of earth being seeded undermines the whole evolutionary process! Meaning their was a designer and a design (that is why we look like the scarry tall WHITE people) and that the whole seeding process destroys any the idea of survival of the fittest/natural selection. Seeds were selected and planted, cultivated, (and in the comming movies we will find we were to be harvested as a crop.) Your theory fails on just about every level possiable concerning this conversation.
It was just a stripped back example of Prometheus. I wouldn't read into it too much.
