Why I Don't Believe In Atheism's Creation Myth

AV:
It's a no. Even if you imagine that you do.

I'm afraid you've just provided 10 words too many in your reply. Try again.

 

[AV1611VET]

What if I know what I'm going to pick? then what?

AV:
It's a no. Even if you imagine that you do.

So therefore, by knowing what I'm going to choose, I don't have freewill?

They can't help it.

I'm beginning to think YES or NO questions were phased out in higher academia in favor of essay questions.

They have to fill an hour on test day somehow.

Not if god already knows your choice, no.

That's alright. I'm used to creationists being a bit thick.

 

[Mobiosity]

It is a matter of semantics. In the long history of the world, a few choices stand out. The rest are long forgotten.
You choose what you choose. Can we agree on that?
Free will is what you make of it. I feel we have it. The Lord knowing what I'm going to do doesn't mean, to me, that I don't have it; after all, I'm not being forced to do anything.
Some of you feel that if God knows what we're going to do that you don't have Free will. In my opinion you are wrong. Our differing opinions don't negate the other's opinions or make them wrong. I believe I have free will, you don't. It's not verifiable, it's an opinion. And it's way off the topic of the title of the thread.

Was "God" even in my question?

 

[Tomatoman]

Was "God" even in my question?

Oh right. Obviously, all of a sudden you were assuming a completely godless scenario.

 

[AV1611VET]

Some of you feel that if God knows what we're going to do that you don't have Free will.

But, like I'm asking, if we know what we're going to do, is that just as effective in demonstrating that freewill doesn't exist?

Why is it that if God knows what we are going to do, that shows we don't have freewill; but if we know what we are going to do, we do have freewill?

That doesn't make sense.

 

[AV1611VET]

Oh right. Obviously, all of a sudden you were assuming a completely godless scenario.

In my opinion, it's easier for a Christian to speak sans God or sans Scripture; than it is for a non-Christian to speak God or the Bible.

Have you seen my "Sans Scripture" threads?

 

[Cabal]

Oh, wow.

I'm standing in front of a pop machine with the full-intention of purchasing a Coke, and you guys want to make a deep-thought experiment out of it?

Welcome to philosophy! It's complicated!

They can't help it.

Again, why should all questions be reducible to YES/NO questions? The fact you only do this when people are disagreeing with you makes it apparent that you're trying to engineer the outcome of your questions, like you do with your challenge threads. If you don't like the outcome, you stomp your foot and /thread out. Just because you think tricky topics should be reduced to facile dichotomies doesn't mean anyone has to agree.

What, like the one where you ask if evolution was true what would we look like if we didn't evolve?

Sorry Cabal, your question is too complicated. Please reduce your question to just one word.

Tea?

 

[Targ]

Tea?

Indubitably.

 

[Cabal]

Indubitably.

THAT'S NOT YES OR NO!!!!!

WHY DO YOU HATE OUR LORD

Why would God be illogical?

He isn't. Maybe it is you that is illogical. God's logic is not your logic:

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. - Isa 55:8.

Logic is the foundation for mathematics, reason, science, and civilization.

Then logically explain how God enabled a virgin to conceive and a dead man to rise.

It says a lot about your beliefs for you to say that God is illogical.

Comprehension fail. I never said that.

Logic is the language of the human mind - and I thought we were made in God's image. So what's the deal?

When Adam ate the fruit was he making a logical decision?

 

[Doveaman]

Just playing out the scenario in Doveaman terms

You think this is a game?

 

[Doveaman]

That's one big reason why I became an atheist (I was born and raised evangelical).

Is it more likely that all people are born atheists and as knowledge increase they become theists? This would mean that adult atheists are slow learners.
