88%? You need to do some reading on other religions if you really think the majority of them agree with your "knowledge". I suggest you start of with the various Hinduisms and their definitions of god.

I wouldn't say ID is a non-religious view on creationism. Whether you are calling it god or an intelligent agent doesn't change that it postulates at least one supreme being with a purpose for this world which is the basis for every single religion on this planet (before you get started Buddhism...

I think you should really talk to your mother about pregnancy being a simple inconvenience. Be careful though, she might get pretty angry.

Interessting question. It generally seems to be less offensive to steal from a faceless corporation than from an actual person because you don't have to put a face on the person(s) you harmed. But from a moral point of view this is of course nonsense. A casino on the other hand is something...

There was a horrible train accident in Eschede, Germany, a couple of years back. More than a hundred people died, the place was littered with injured and dead people. The Church of Scientology sent people dressed up as being part of the emergency services psychologists who usually care for...

Same thing as with the sex, if you handle it responsibly there is nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with extramarital sex if you protect yourself and your partner while keeping the social context in mind, there is nothing wrong with a couple of beers with your friends from time to...

I'm not seeking, preaching doesn't work. Thanks

Then I'll have to work on my conversation skills. Admittedly it was a difficult thought to be put into words. Thanks for your thoughts. Have a nice day.

That's true in a sense but in a very narrow one. Our DNA is not reincarnated, DNA replication is semiconservativ so that idea doesn't work. Your right about most of our body being replaced, what you are forgetting is the important part: our neurons aren't replaced. The cells that seem to be "us"...

Are you by any chance into Noam Chomsky? "Manufacturing Consent" sounded an awful lot like him, maybe that's something we have in common after all. On a side note, in my language, the word for science would be translated directly "the creation of knowledge". I here these arguments quite...

I see you're argument. The problem is that you see my position as an assumption. "I don't know" is not an assumption, it's the default. While you - if I understand what you're saying - chose to assume there is a god and it happened to be the Christian one, I did not make any such choice. And if...

Nope. Ok, then I misunderstood your intention. What remains is: what does that have to do with the initial question?

That's a question for another thread and it speaks from my heart just as if I had asked it myself. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to prove anything to me here, just as I won't to you, no reason for quoting. So if your still interested, read the initial question again and try answering it...

The desperate looking for consolidation also fits in with the poor being rich in faith. Also does the aggressive mission with people who have nothing to eat and happily change their faith for earthly help like a handful of rice. I've wittnessed this happening and I find it disgusting on many...

You can't know that for you have no idea of what religions existed before recorded history, none of us has. Without doubt there were and are an abundance of other religions teaching that god is a personal being which is the topic of this thread. When you say "Plato, Aristotle and Socrates were...

It's not that simple. I defined God in this thread as a form of higher intelligence. I never said that we are not capable of rational thought but it wouldn't make sense to think that rational thought is like a spark that was given to us and either exists perfectly and unchangeble or does...

Not surprisingly I disagree. How can an assumption be a choice? A reasonable assumption should be the product of what seems to be most likely according to the available information with the achievable minimum of bias. And a reasonable person should always be aware that it is just that, an...

Can't resist this one. If this wife you are talking about exists on a realm outside phyisical reality or is simply imaginary, there is indeed no difference. If she's a real person that can be seen, felt and heard, the difference is obvious.

New and plausible? Not really scientific, still a funny way to rule out Creationism.
