Quote:The reason I came to this forum was to let everyone know that there is no way to prove that intelligent design or abiogenesis is correct. This is both false and absurd Quote: One must have faith that one or the other is correct. Nope you require faith . You and only you Quote:I have stated my reasoning and you have stated yours. You have stated no reasons only baseless opinions Quote:By the way IANDS is not garbage Yes it is a garbage organization for a garbage subject Quote:IANDS has been around many years and is a very reputable international organizationSo has flat earth society. Their reputation is among quacks and fools. Quote:They have done a huge amount of research all over the world.Searching for confirmation bias is not research . You have a very low threshold for research. Quote:are available from the IANDS Store. Journal of Near-Death Studies The Journal of Near-Death Studies is the only peer-reviewed scholarly journal...........Peer reviewed by who? peer review does not mean high standards . If your peers are a group of motivated quacks .

Quote:Science does not have all of the answers.Yup if it did there would be no reason to do science . Quote:Some people believe that scientists know how life began,but they don't know We are solving that at a goodly clip regardless of what luddites like yourself would have us believe Quote:There are many scientific hypothesis regarding the beginning of life and none of them are provable.Their are many good founded theories that are highly likely and all of them can meet scientific standards. Quote:So if you want proof you are not going to find it.Your ignorant luddite opinion and one shared by every fool ho said" science will not do it " It made a fool of them and it will likely make a fool of you . Are idea are not equal so stop pretending your crap is on the same level .

So if you want proof you are not going to find it. This is true: Scientist don't know how life began.. Scientists are looking for the answer to how life began, but they don't know the real reason yet. This is also true: Theists don't know how life began. But! Theists are not looking for the answer to how life began. And they will never know the real answer, even if scientists eventually work out what it was and share their findings with the public. Scientists don't know and admit they don't know. Theists don't know but think they do. One of these groups is claiming knowledge they don't have, and it ain't scientists.

So if you want proof you are not going to find it. Thank you for your honest answer. I would only disagree with two sentences "And they will never know the real answer" Eternity is a long time. That is why I do not believe the never part. The other one is "Theists are not looking for the answer to how life began" Many scientists are theists. Theists also want proof. Neither atheists or theists have that proof. RE: What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

I can't think of a single facet of jesusism that I would consider reasonable.

If you have decided that God created life and will not budge on that opinion, you will never learn the true answer if you are wrong. But if you admit that you don't know, and you continue your search for an answer, then and only then does it become possible for you to find one. Of course many theists are scientists by profession. But they do not assume theism in their work, else they are crappy scientists. Theist or not, a scientist looks for proof. That's what scientists do. If one already holds a view because he or she has accepted a religious doctrine, then the search for proof stops there. The issue is more nuanced than this, because theists can be scientists by profession and put their theistic assumptions on hold while they conduct their work, but if they didn't do this, they wouldn't really be doing science. |
