We don't know how life started. I cannot tell you that. If you want to know how evolution works then that is a longer study. I cannot show you in one post. There is a thread here that has educational resources on evolution and natural selection for laypeople like us to understand.
It is a logical question based on your answers. If you think it is OK for god to command to kill homosexuals, who do you think god wanted to do that? He wanted people to carry it out, so if you are unwilling to kill them yourself then I am glad but this just shows your morals are better than gods.
I have discussed how I come to my morals. But you don't want to talk to me about it you want to talk to books I have read to inform my opinions. Pick a situation and we can discuss what the moral thing to do is and why.
Yes, forgive people without a sacrifice, that is what god asks us to do, Show people he exists so they can make an informed decision to follow him or not, make a better communication tool than the bible so the mass confusion is avoided, heal sick people etc.
Ok, first I cannot verify it was a supernatural entity or even that it existed. My young daughter believed it but no on else saw it. How can I verify it was real? I am not denying that it was I just don't know.
I have never said I had that. No one has as I have already stated many times. This is why we need to decide together what is moral in any situation by discussing and using reason. What situation do you want to discuss?
Of course you don´t...because you can´t go back to the very beginning...scientists can only make conclusions based on the physical evidence that they have before them...and they can only go back as far as that physical evidence...
I don't know kids are very creative. The more likely explanation is that she heard the name from someone or it was in one of the many books we read. In the end I don't know what the explanation really is.
GOD is holy, sir...HE can not stand in the presence of sin...there is only ONE WAY back into HIS PRESENCE sir...
Yes scientists only believe what they can demonstrate, so should we. What is your point?
If this is the case why could Satan be in His presence? See Job.
You agree now its information? How if not information would a cell even edit itself? How would it form anything? DNA's information is an instruction manual for life. The information doesn't come from the material makeup of the DNA itself. The bases that Kylie is speaking about are not information, they are a code that is the used to provide the instructions. They by themselves have no information without the words they eventually 'spell'. The letters need information to make up the words. The letters can be random and still carry out a specific function. The letters can't run on and on without beginnings or endings or they are only gibberish. It is the information that does the instruction to form the words, the sentence beginning and end. I am making this as simple as I can.
Lets say it this way, the only way life exists is due to the cell. We have no evidence that life exists without cells. It is not fallacious to claim this. That is a fact that remains true all across earth. The same is true of information, across the earth the only way information is produced is through intelligent beings. It is no more fallacious to make this claim as it is to claim life exists due to the cell. In fact, life exists because of information because without the information systems within DNA life would not exist on earth.
Nope not the same at all. We know that cars not starting are due to many causes and it can be demonstrated. Not so with information, we have no other causes of information other than intelligent beings.
It is investigated, it is called Biology. Biology has no answer to the information in the DNA, but due to many factors, God can not be considered. That in no way says it is not God.
Why do you believe in evolution, even though you are unclear about many aspects of it?
Again, why do you believe in Evolution?
If you tell me that you read to your 4 year old child greek mythology, and midgets with horns, then of course, I am wrong...
4 year olds haven´t ventured much out into the world...their only influence at that age is their parents...
I have told you more than once how I determine morals. I also asked you twice now if you wanted to provide an ethical scenario so we could discuss and see if we can come to an agreement on what the moral thing to do is. Seems like all you want to do is talk about theories. How about putting it into practice?
