Christianity Is The BEST Religion....

Ah, but one can actually detect radio waves!  (Don't try to BS me on this -- I come from a family of scientists, including an electronics engineer, and I had a chart of the electromagnetic spectrum pinned to my bedroom wall at one point in my childhood.)

I'm not in the habit of believing in things that "might be" there.  I could waste the whole day trying to believe in this, that and the other thing, but the bottom line is that I am neurologically incapable of religious belief.  I've been this way since I was a child, if not from birth.  My bullshit detector is locked permanently in the always-on position, and as a result my brain cannot generate any trust or faith in things that violate reality and for which there is no credible evidence.

 Yet you believe in evolution. Scientist say that the universe is destroying itself, that this galaxy is making few stars because it's running out of material for such activity and supposedly this is one of the younger galaxies. So if the universe is on a path to total destruction then why on this one little planet would evolution be in effect. Goes against all logic.

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.

Yeah I guess you're right here. I guess it would be best to just leave for good at this point. Sorry guys.....

No, it does not go against logic just as it does not go against logic for someone to win the jackpot. Shit happens, and even what we deem to be unlikely events can happen eventually somewhere, given enough time and resources.

We are alive during the relatively short period when this sort of thing is possible.
That is all.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

GC wouldn't recognise logic if it gave him a Glasgow Kiss.
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.'

I'm not really a Christian, in fact, I'm an atheist myself....

This was more of an experiment, and I'm proud of all the logical responses you guys gave me....

I hope there's no hard feelings.....

Wow, you really have no comprehension of either cosmology or biology, do you?

First, these two types of phenomena are happening at *incredibly* different scales. It's sort of like asking why, if water is falling in a waterfall, there may be on drop going sideways for a bit.

But even more so, evolution doesn't violate the second law of thermodynamics (yes, that is ultimately what you claimed). There is ahuge heat source about 93 million miles from us that drives a *lot* of entropy increase.

Finally, stars in galaxies go through cycles. Our sun is a third generation star. Once some of the older stars start dying and releasing their materials (supernova do that), new clouds of dust and gas form which leads to new stars. And I'm not sure why you think our galaxy is one of the youngest.

Sssshh . . . he thinks he understands those things. It's adorable when he uses big words and tries to relate at the big persons' table.
