Claiming the absolute from the fallible mortal perspective is plain overestimation of oneself and a lame excuse for sloppy thinking. Furthermore there is no honour in hiding from rational scrutiny in dirty secret talks with an imaginary sky fairy in your head. Combine the two and you're all prepped for religious arrogance that has battered the face of the earth for so lang already. You may say amen to that if you will.(December 13, 2008 at 1:10 pm)Purple Rabbit Wrote:(December 13, 2008 at 11:37 am)Daystar Wrote: You can't compare science, which is fallible to the God's word, which is infallible.That's bogus. You can't claim infallibility when you yourself are not all-knowing like your god. You claim infallibility of your god, but you base that on something far more unreliable than a guess: your wish for his existence and your blind faith on a book.
Once again I ask you, how can you assess the infallibility of your god? Can you check out his all-knowingness?
Through a little thing I like to call faith . . . can I hear an AMEN! Yeah!
I was just pulling y'all's chain. I like your avatar, by the way.
