What it means to be an atheist and face the ignoramuses
|
Evolution has lots of evidence. You'd have to be foolish to not believe in it.
Just explain to me how the universe which started as a burst of energy became conscious, living, breathing organisms. (There's no evidence of how this occurred).
Think you handled that in your own post. That you like to willfully omit a few billion years is par for the course. Here's the deal amigo, it doesn't matter if we had no explanation for any of it. Doesn't make yours any more correct. Like I said, we have two threads that you can go make your contribution to. Otherwise you're just shifting a burden because you have no answers to offer.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Just because we don't know what caused X doesn't mean Y's the answer. We don't know. What caused X? The answer is - ?.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity. Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist. You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

A lot can happen in 13.7 billion years, such as you could walk to proxima centauri 14 times. The answer is interactions, over time. Lots of time.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
12 possibles of matter, 4 forces of nature with 13.7 billion years of interaction. Pretty sure a lot of things can happen with all of that. He obviously hasn't given it much thought. Must of hit the bible before anything else.

Quote: OK, why don’t you show me a fish that can survive a day on land let alone years, Mr. Evolutionist? There are lots of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_fish "Lungfish (Dipnoi): Six species, have limb like fins, and can breathe air. Some are obligate air breathers. Some species will bury in the mud when the body of water they live in dries up, surviving up to two years until water returns." You lose.

Oh a fish that can survive a day on land? I'll see your lungfish Doubting T and raise you homo sapiens. A bony fish that spends it's entire life (minus baths and the occasionally dip) planted on terra firma.

Everything else is delusional spit. would someone PLEASE tell this person that words have meaning and form contexts through that meaning. the word "cult" does not mean "a group of people I dont like", and the word "liberal" does not mean "a group of people I do not like."

Yes there is evidence that consciousness and life can come from lifeless matter. The grand proof is directly in your DNA. Your DNA is what gives you life, all of your properties, the ability to think, love, breath...all of this was formed of your DNA. Your DNA is made of 4 lifeless elements and nothing more. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. (CHON) The lifeless organized matter of CHON has come together and are responsible for everything that you are, think, and will accomplish. Hope that helped  (November 27, 2011 at 1:56 pm)Minimalist Wrote:Quote:Very hard to tell if this nutjob is a troll or not.. How could someone just be that... FUCKING STUPID.

Not to say that we didn't come from aquatic creatures millions of years ago, though.

I like calling water "Fish piss"  I also call the ocean "drink" So when I am working on the water with an apprentice I tell him or her "Becareful not to drop your tools in the drink." Oh..and when someone offers me a glass of water I say: "Water? Shit man..dont you know fish fuck in that? Hand me a beer instead." |
