Good question. I meant to say scientists have a good explanation for this and that it is not really an explosion. Did you read the link?
I am open to the supernatural existing as methodological naturalists do as well. If you could show how we can detect the supernatural using science then they would use that to study it. But as of today we have no way to use science to study the supernatural. I think that methodological naturalism is the best method to use for science but that is not the only evidence we could have for a god. This is the reason I am an atheist and not an agnostic.
Known being in evidence, no other KNOWN cause produces information. Your playing semantics here.
I said if anyone can show how to use science to confirm the supernatural I am interested. I will look at what people think is scientific evidence for the existence of a god. But if we are investigating an unknown phenomenon since the supernatural has never been shown to be the answer we should assume it is not the answer or we will not make progress. I think this has been demonstrated time and time again through history. Scientific evidence is not the only evidence we could have though. God could reveal himself to me in a way that I could not deny he exists. Maybe a philosophical argument could convince me etc.
No didn't realize there was one, but it was really an explosion...hence the name.
But I will look at your link what post number is it?
Well can we discuss the scientific suggestion of how the universe and living matter did come into existence to see the silliness of it?
No I am not. You are not being clear on what you mean. Only and Known are not the same thing. Do you think that Only intelligence can produce intelligence on earth? Or do you think it is just the best explanation and there could be other explanations?
It doesn't matter what I think, the ONLY evidence on earth demonstrates that intelligent beings are the ONLY producers of information.
You can´t...again, you would have to have a tangible item to prove the intangible...and then what would that intangible be exactly?
Here is the link:No didn't realize there was one, but it was really an explosion...hence the name.
Why is that useful? How can you possibly know all the possible ways? I am not claiming a god did not do it. I am claiming that I don't know. Abiogenesis is interesting but nothing has been demonstrated to be the cause. It could be more than one cause, we don't know.
Why won't you answer the question? It is a yes or no answer. It would clear my confusion up.
I am in agreement. But if someone can somehow use science to study the supernatural then I am open to it.
Looking at the trees is not sufficient evidence.
Well each person gets to decide what convinces them. Some say they are convinced by philosophical arguments. In the end I am currently not convinced by the evidence I have.
Your unwillingness to engage in an actual discussion over a real ethical situation is why we cannot make progress. You also place a lot of ideas and word in my mouth that I never said such as I have an absolute position that cannot be rocked. I never said this. I have explained how I get to my moral beliefs many times.
