God Just Changed His Mind (from Evil to Good)
#23
RE: God Just Changed His Mind (from Evil to Good)
Of course I thought about it.  And I know that if I say that there is no god to care about, you will ask how I can know that.  If I go along with your premise and follow it to a reasonable conclusion, you ignore it and wonder if my wording indicates a belief in god.  My wording isn't an indicator of some latent belief in god.  Your interpretation of it sounds like yet another attempt to strengthen your own delusion by implying that I believe in it, too.  In any case it looks like another way of avoiding the question by focusing on something trivial and silly.  Maybe your faith is slipping?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
