God put prophets and pastors etc, to create the bible and preach today, if you don't believe them, it could happen the same as the rich and lazarus, 'God resurrect prophets so they tell my people and they don't end here' and the response was 'if they didn't believe to my people they are not going to believe even if some prophets resurrect from the dead'
I think there are probably some who are sincere, but it's difficult to tell which is which.
And besides, what you describe doesn't sound very appealing. Just makes God seem kinda needy.
Why wouldn't a person want to meet their creator
Most of us have met our creators. They raised us generally.
And you were the one that is supposed to leave child like thinking? or i don't remember,
because really so your parents designed your body and intellect?
What is the creator of a painting, the orginal painter, or the one that makes copies of it?
You... you mean a rational framework for knowledge acquisition by empirical means? GASP!A move beyond common sense or human intuition would seem to be in order. Maybe we could build a system for testing ideas and judging the results free of prior biases. Perhaps it could be repeatable and have a mechanism to show that certain ideas are poor. What should we call that...
You're absolutely right - humans are better at being completely human that any machine we could make.I still mean what i originally thought about that, and i'm not moving any goal posts, if you think a computer is greater than you, then a rock is better because it also doesn't get hurt as much, and a tree is better because it can live longer, or an animal is better because it has better muscles and motor skills, i mean greater as a WHOLE and you can't deny the superiority of people comparing them to this things.
Now you're getting it... but what are 'things in general'? Running fast? jumping high? diving deep? digging tunnels? catching flies? swinging through the trees? changing colour? firing explosions out of your butt? growing back your arm or leg or head? breathing underwater? flying?Its english language you should get it. by greater i don't mean size of course.
Basically more capable, yes i say more capable of doing things in general.
'capacity in general'? See, that's all still vague, but I think you're narrowing it down to the stuff humans specialise in, i.e. stuff we should be good at. Like I said, you can do that for any creature.You know what i mean, more capable in general, more smart in general, more authority, power, influence, and capacity in general do i need to explain more?
Has he never considered the acorn and the oak tree? the egg and the chicken?There's an unfortunate reason for this: NBB's fundamental "proof" that evolution is false is that the created thing must not be greater than the creating thing.
Yeah, but doesn't the bible warn against false prophets? How do you tell a true prophet from a false prophet?God put prophets and pastors etc, to create the bible and preach today, if you don't believe them, it could happen the same as the rich and lazarus, 'God resurrect prophets so they tell my people and they don't end here' and the response was 'if they didn't believe to my people they are not going to believe even if some prophets resurrect from the dead'
I was thinking of the Bombardier beetle, but if you can do better, I'll withdraw itHow did you know?
Not in my case .. but they certainly had a 'hand' in creating me, (for one)... because really so your parents designed your body and intellect?
Wasn't there an alien bug in the movie 'Starship Troopers' which used a flame thrower type method as a weapon of mass destruction?I was thinking of the Bombardier beetle, but if you can do better, I'll withdraw it
