    What would happen to the creation/evolution debate...

    Well thank goodness that the intellectual honesty of scientists can let us ignore the obvious implications of evolution and believe in whatever we want.

    What would happen to the creation/evolution debate...

    You just don't like evolution because if it's true it means your religion is a lie and you aren't going to be living forever or ruling anything, you'll just die and cease to be eventually like everything else. That's where this anger is coming from.

    Abortion

    Either an action is the right one or the wrong one. It cannot be down to a somebody deciding a wrong action is right if it would otherwise be wrong without the decision. That's just nonsense. Except that's two different actions with two different intents and two different desired outcomes. I'm...

    If big-bang happened, why aren`t everything scorched?

    Like I said before - there was nothing to get scorched or melted, not until much later. Nowadays all the heats in suns and stars, far away from planets - what are you thinking was there to get scorched or melted at the time?

    If big-bang happened, why aren`t everything scorched?

    No, because there wasn't anything to get scorched until after things had cooled down. Plus that was 15 billion years ago anyway, so if anything had been scorched back then, you wouldn't be able to tell by today.

    Abortion

    That proves my initial point. If God only makes right decisions, and sometimes God kills people, that means sometimes killing people is the right decision.

    Abortion

    What makes it right for God but wrong for the woman? Whatever their respective motivations, the baby's just as dead either way. How do you know that any particular abortion doesn't line up with God's decision anyway? There's plenty that happen on their own - maybe God appreciates some of the...

    Abortion

    Is there? In both cases the principle is the same - it's better, overall, if certain people die. At best you're arguing that some are better at judging when this is than others.

    why according to atheism a natural process + time= a robot

    Yes, for a given value of 'natural'. Atheists also don't believe that nature was not designed. (It wasn't though, I mean come on, it's a mess.) Both.

    Is divine command ethics demonstrable/falsifiable?

    Is getting to heaven 'good' or 'bad?' Would caring about getting to heaven be about of self-interest, or not?

    Is divine command ethics demonstrable/falsifiable?

    No, I think I got it. I covered that sort of extreme thing with my 'set on fire example'. We could imagine any type of living being - music-based extradimensional, living math equation, synthetic networked intelligence that uses black holes for processing nodes in a pan-galactic supercomputer -...

    Is divine command ethics demonstrable/falsifiable?

    It's a funny sense of charity, where you don't give to the needy. Or possibly make them work in exchange for food. Thank goodness they couldn't fool you, and definitely won't get food or drugs, both of which would have at least alleviated their suffering somewhat, however minutely. I'm sure...

    Progress! Oh man, I hope those ladies got married first!

    Is divine command ethics demonstrable/falsifiable?

    Well, a rising tide sinks all ships. Or something. Agreed. Pretty dehumanizing term, imo. Nothing about having parents who weren't officially married makes you less of a legitimate person.

    Is divine command ethics demonstrable/falsifiable?

    You could also encourage more homosexual sex, so you don't have to worry about children at all. But you seemed to be also complaining about that, so... see my previous point re. no pleasing some people.
