Humans don't have to be more special than anything else... but do you see any other creatures on earth with advanced science? I'd call that pretty special

are you saying that God's windpipe and esophagus run different tubes? are you saying that God doesn't starve or take a shit? I can't believe people describe something so poorly understood, something that's only vaguely described, a god, as 'perfect'. How could you expect anything after death when all you know is our dependency on matter?
Why would 'God' have a windpipe or esophagus? Silly flying skeptic
Starving would necessitate a need for nutrients. Why would 'God' not be self sufficient?
Shitting assumes that there is waste within 'God'... why would there be waste in 'God'?
That we don't know what is "perfect" and thus argue against a 'God' being so is an argument from ignorance.
But I like them
Quote:I guess you could say that my questions were somewhat of a metaphor on how we don't know what is perfect and how all of our understanding on matter that we shouldn't be so keen on believing in an afterlife that abandons matter. Someone said that if God made us with different tubes for the windpipe and esophagus etc. then their god would essentially be creating 'himself', perfect.
That's a possibility... though I don't see how having separated ones would make us perfect :S
It's a matter of an individual's faith... though I don't believe there is such a thing as an afterlife, I can still wear an apologist hat if I see reason to
Quote:"shitting assumes that there is a waste within good"
i was just saying that as an atheist looking at creationists beliefs... we share the same disgusting characteristic as every other animal, we get rid of waste, yet they believe we are special. We all enjoy sex, yet we are expected to go to an afterlife where we don't have sex? - my stream of consciousness on an immaterial afterlife
And those people are silly, imo I don't disagree, though I could pull on the sexy theist hat again if you like
