    (moved) Question for Atheists: Is the existence of God a real question for you?

    Sorry, but you can't say 'everything without a creator is meaningless' over and over and then backtrack and claim 'oh, uh, except for this one thing because... w-well, just because!' If uncreated things cannot have meaning to their existence, God has no meaning to his existence and nothing he...

    (moved) Question for Atheists: Is the existence of God a real question for you?

    Then if God has no creator, he has no purpose or meaning to his existence, and therefore everything he does is also meaningless, ultimately just the arbitrary flailing of a purposeless non-creation operating with only the illusion of meaning. If there is purpose or meaning to his existence...

    If man is evolving, why is there still war?

    You're a piece of garbage. Pointlessly obsessed with needless hatred. So done with this place. 1% interesting discussion, 99% smug, stupid bigots using their idiot faith to justify smug, stupid bigotry.

    If man is evolving, why is there still war?

    'More evolved' doesn't really mean anything. More evolved =/= never have problems.

    Creationists: can you explain post-Flood repopulation?

    Presumably, prostitutes would receive sex education as part of their job training - you need to recognize what a customer is asking for, how much it will cost, etc. Maybe they could offer an 'instructive session' for first timers - 'hands-on' education. 'Learn by doing.' 'Phys-ed.'

    Does Evolution Matter?

    The truth matters, and evolution is a part of that. People who say it isn't true are not telling the truth, and it's important to deal with that as well. How much it affects someone personally will really depend on the person. But people who don't tell the truth might could say anything, which...

    If man is evolving, why is there still war?

    And humans will kill other humans. For territory and etc. All manner of etc. A nature park. 20 square miles of wilderness set aside for preservation. Not like there was a fence around the place. And what does that have to do with anything? That's because there weren't a lot of them. Is there...

    First hint of 'life after death' in biggest ever scientific study

    A quick google search has revealed cases of people's brains being active for over 10 minutes after their heart has stopped, some much longer. Perhaps they mean that the brain cannot function indefinitely? At any rate in light of that fact, someone being somewhat aware for several minutes after...

    If man is evolving, why is there still war?

    I posted that article about a chimp war. Didn't you read it? Casualtie rates aren't as high as human wars, it's true. But then, chimps aren't as sophistocated as us...

    If man is evolving, why is there still war?

    Evolution doesn't guarantee survival, folks. Something like 95% of all species that have ever lived have gone extinct. Evolution causes change - natural selection determines whether the change is beneficial, neutral, or negative. Evolution could change a species to the point where it destroys...

    The most immoral thing today

    Well, there you have it folks. If you make any effort to fight for human rights, you're just wasting time and distracting people from real problems.

    How did God get his morals?

    Great question. It's one I like to ask whenever a theist says 'If you don't believe in God, how do you get your morals?'

    Can there be morality without God?

    Being destructive in no way 'opposes' evolution. You seem to be under a misapprehension that evolution is only supposed to produce things that we might see as 'good' or 'nice.' This is not the case. 'Bad' things do not disprove evolution. They are entirely consistent with evolution. You may be...

    Can there be morality without God?

    It isn't necessarily a conscious conclusion that was deliberately adopted, but it does come from the mind which is a product of the brain which is biochemical, so that's all broadly true, yes. How often does anyone think to bring it up, I wonder. No, it does not. Nor is it 'destructive for'...

    Mankind starts calling himself "destroyer of Earth", just evolving?

    What's wicked about Death? He just does a job that needs doing, unpleasant though it may be to some. Would you want a lot of people running around getting killed and not dying? Non Timetis Messor
