Quote:Astronomer Fred Hoyle reports that his atheism was shaken by his own discovery that in the stars, carbon just manages to form and then just avoids complete conversion into oxygen. If one atomic level had varied half a per cent, life would have been impossible. "Would you not say to yourself . . . 'Some supercalculating intellect must have designed the properties of the carbon atom, otherwise the chance of my finding such an atom through the blind forces of nature would be utterly minuscule' ? Of course you would. . . . The carbon atom is a fix.

I quoted this from nogodaloud.
Not sure if nogodaloud referenced it but the extract is actually from Dr. Holmes Rolston III, professor of philosophy at Colorado State University, here's the link to his entire article:-

Imagine if the movie Ghostbusters didn't exist... there would be no reviews of it.

Okay I'm game, where the hell are you going with this?

Quote:So, the omnipotence of God must be defined. Omnipotence and “all powerful” are incorrect words to use when encompassing all possibilities of illogical or self-contradicting occurances. In Christianity we have
this statement regarding God being able to create a rock too big to move, or this sort of thing. “Nonsense is nonsense, even when you try to apply it to God.”
Okay first your argument was cut and paste from religion-online.org without citation and now you are plagiarising this extract from other people's posts from this blog page on WhyWontGodHealAmputees.com! Angry
