I showed this to my brother and he said "nothing will ever change ny mind" and he calls ne closed minded.
A good point.
If we were designed intelligently, then why did our supposedly perfect creator give us a cell division system that could go wrong and give us cancer?

"To test our faith in sweet fluffy Jesus".
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.'

Godschild, why can't we just PM God instead? Why instead does he send us people who just say "I'm right because I'm right because I'm right"?
Why doesn't he just tell us something that we
a) don't know already and
b) couldn't possibly be caused by something else?
The problem is that there are so many questions like this. Why did God take 7 days to create the earth? Why not just click his fingers and have it all snap into being instantly?
If he wanted everyone except Noah and his family to die, why not just strike them all down? Why instead have a 500 year old man build a massive boat, then create a flood for which not a scrap of evidence remains?
If he wanted a companion for Adam, why not just create one? Why - absurdly - would he manufacture a woman from a rib, of all things?
What you have is an unsatisfactory attitude to your own ignorance. You have no system to develop new ideas and throw out ones that don't work. If science is missing some understanding, we keep testing things and discarding hypotheses until we find a better fit. You are stuck with your original hypothesis, and you can't move on.
It doesn't move and it doesn't need changing, it works well.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

It was a while back, I do not remember the moniker. I believe they have been banned. It might have been Randy Carson? I am not sure.

He wouldn't be the first. A lot of protestants don't think Catholics are "real" Christians.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
