Theology has no facts, no knowledge, It is empty and devoid of any basis in reality. It is all made up.
Quote:Dualism does not entail theism. For example, philosophically, it is possible that humans, like the material universe, have always existed. There is an endless cycle of deaths and rebirths. Each individual upon death goes to some sort of afterlife where he might linger for a few years or a few billion years, until he is reborn unto this world anew. As a result, humans were never "created."
It is not possible that humans have existed forever and humans were never created.
The evidence for evolution of humans is clear.
Quote:Matter has existed forever, but it is possible that so have, under dualism, spirits. Hence, the conclusion that God created life and human beings does not follow even if abiogenesis is false.
No, matter coalesced from energy as the universe expanded. There was no matter until the universe expanded and cooled sufficiently.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
