Blind faith and evolution
RE: Blind faith and evolution
Quote: The evidence that is valid right now will end up in the dust bin of history tomorrow or even sooner.

Prove it, Enrico. We record and document evidence. What do You do in refutation of that? Do You say, "that is now false"? No it is not, it happened! Who honestly dismisses the past with present findings?

I did not created a universe in which it balance because of the positive and negative.
I did not say that for every action there has got to be an equal and opposite reaction.
I just believe in these things because this to me equal to justice and allow the system to work properly.

And yet the Universe outside your loathsome and febrile imagination goes blithely on without an atom of awareness of, and gives not a single shit for, your sick opinions of how it ought to work. It's almost as though this karma just dropped out of someone's arse, isn't it? Now I wonder why that is?


Ok, i understand that you do not like the way the karma law work so we got to do something about it.
Next time i see the thinker of this law i will ask to change all the rules so it want be so hard.
I will ask to make sure that the positive is not balance by the negative anymore and the negative want be there anymore.
Think how good it will be.
You can kill somebody and not pay for it.
You can take money from a bank and not pay back or the gov. will give you a machine to make money so you don't have to go to work anymore.
Not a bad idea Stimbo.
I never though about it.
I think i will give you few kudus for your suggestion.Smile

god Enrico, you really are an idiot. Stop....just stop
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Rationalman just nailed it with a headshot, but purely for completeness and the look of the thing:

Rico, I just got done with telling you how it has nothing to do with whether or not you like the way the Universe works. Now you assume I'm as intellectually dishonest as you are by asserting I'm doing the same thing. Nowhere in any of my posts have I said that reality must be wrong because it doesn't comply with my opinion of how it ought to operate, or that my feelings on the matter are the true description of the reality of the Universe. That has been your stance all through this thread, not mine.

What I have said is that my opinion of you - not the Universe, not any "karmic laws" or anything else you have asserted sans evidence - my opinion of you is that I do not like the person you present in this thread.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Stimbo can't you lock up this thread? otherwise it just gonna keep going till the sun turns into a red giant and Enrico will still think he is right.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I think the truth is that Stimbo and CD are having way too much fun here...but I concur with LV.

Oh I don't see any harm. Any time any of us wants to interact with a head-in-the-clouds, self proclaimed yoga master and self-appointed arbiter of the laws of the universe .. we can always turn to that ex-patriot Italian taxi driver from Oz. It is important to remember that this place aspires to be a place for conversations with every stripe of humanity - not just a rally for the atheist choir.

No there's no harm to us, but I think Enrico will spin until his head falls off, and that will be a sad day for the Yoga masters out there.

You must know by now how stingy i am with the way i give kudos away but now i really think that i will have to give few for your comment.
The forum was very popular in the Roman time.
Everybody could go there and talk about ANY thing they like.
You could talk intelligent things or you could talk rubbish.
You could criticize, you could agree, you could make irony.
Just anything.
Now when you open up a forum you should know these rules.
If you do not agree with it you should not open it in the first place and instead open a chat room in which only those who agree with your policy are allow to enter.
Anyway thanks for your open mind and enjoy my kudos.
CiaoSmile
