My take on Life

With a xtian with a username like Spooge, I guess we know just what to expect.
 Oh hell, that wasn't very xtian of me. I guess I should at least read what you have to say. Let me try again.

I shall reiterate the core point here. How many gaps, do you think, are there between this stage: ![[Image: Embryo%2C_8_cells.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=upload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F6%2F6b%2FEmbryo%252C_8_cells.jpg) and this one: ![[Image: BEY.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=blogdailyherald.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F12%2FBEY.jpg) ? Does our inability to provide a continuous, unbroken, step-by-step chain of photographs for your benefit mean that biological procreation and maturity is impossible?

It's not only big creatures that are hard to fossilise; the conditions for fossilisation are so complex that it's remarkable we have as many fossils as we do.
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.'

And it's certain that there were thousands of species we will never know about because none of their members got fossilised. ![[Image: mybannerglitter06eee094.gif]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo112%2Fpussinboots_photos%2FBikes%2Fmybannerglitter06eee094.gif) If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Is it just coincidence that all religious people see white lights and yet only a small fraction are heading towards heaven, granted Christianity is true? You do realize there are branches of science that study such brain phenomena and hence no reason left to invoke supernatural causes, yes? Quote: Possibly, but I've had other experienced, though no profound ones. Not a main reason to be a Christian, but it's sprinkles on the sundae. How's the sundae taste when you watch the majority of the world, majority of your loved ones, head to eternal hell fire because they're not gullible enough to buy the nonsensical piety outlined in the Christian faith?

Just read the OP. You don't understand evolution.
'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  (March 2, 2014 at 8:35 pm)Spage Wrote: If you have read this entire post, I sincerely thank you for your time, I didn't read it all, first couple of paras and then jump to the last. I know I'm a no good quitter and a skimmer, it wasn't easy reading though. Can I at least have some insincere thanks?
Your plastic pal who's fun to be with!

You're a YEC. You don't want to talk about it.
Fine, no problem. Ignore the questions about it... That's OK because you've already said you don't want to talk about it. Talk about something else. Converse. 
Methinks he's gone...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Aw I didn't get the opportunity to not ask him about what he said.
Bollocks. I'll get the next one.
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken." Sith code 
I stopped reading at "explosion of nothing"...
It's not an explosion. And there was not nothing. Hmm, double negative... you may have trouble with it...let me rephrase: and there was something. Where did that something come from? - invalid question, as space time was at the something. How did that something come into being? - I don't know...As far as I'm aware, no one knows. Now the explosion bit... call it an expansion and then we may talk. It seems, judging by other's replies, that you also mentioned evolution... I'm guessing your understanding of it if as flawed as about the big bang theory... Enjoy your favorite delusion, but please let yourchildren learn things unbiased by your presupposition of creation. |
