    Could the scientific method be divinely inspired?

    If it is, wouldn't it imply that the correct interpretation of the bible must be one compatible with modern scientific knowledge? The idea that such a vast and beneficial change in our worldview as the scientific revolution is a contradiction of God's will seems absolutely absurd. Isn't it more...

    Atheist here.

    Here is my rational, logical argument for the existence of god: 1. You believe that your life has a purpose. If you truly did not, you would have no reason not to commit suicide 2. Purpose is not a physical property that we can measure, like size or weight. In order for something in this...

    Kim Dotcom 'needs' more than $200k a month to live

    Kim seems a bit sleezy, but I think the RIAA/MPAA are vastly sleezier.

    Any .Net programmers around these parts?

    definitely get yourself a copy of .net reflector - it's a point and shoot decompiler that will give you the sourcecode for any program or .net library you tell it to use

    Does anyone here still use DOS?

    I dont use it, but there is a reason to use dos. dos runs in real mode, giving you absolute control over the computer. Any hardware you plug in can be controled directly from a program, rather than through the opperating system. I think varients of dos are still occasionaaly used in embeded...

    It says I need a post count of 15 - I don't have anything to post right now, but I don't want to leave him hanging... Would it be a bad thing if I just posted here untill I get up to 15 so that I can reply to him? Edit: I found some topics where I could post some relevent stuff :-)

    I am an agnostic looking for faith

    I definitely would like you to expand Here's another question though: what if there was no such thing as "impersonal matter"? Since the universe is permiated by the holy spirit, sould it be possible that all matter has a soul? Would be possible to hold this belief and still be a christian? One...

    I am an agnostic looking for faith

    I think I see your point though. If you accept that actions can be absolutely right or wrong, then logically you can get to "humans are exceptional because we are capable the only thing capable of distinguishing right from wrong". From there, you can accept that a book writen by humans can...

    I am an agnostic looking for faith

    I agree - Moral relativism is a flimsy foundation for ones life. If everyone was a relativist, society would be like the show Jersey Shore. It's summed up by that kids sunday school song: The wise man built his house upon the rock The wise man built his house upon the rock The wise man built...

    I am an agnostic looking for faith

    As an agnostic, there are three big questions that I have been struggling with: 1. Are some actions are right and some actions are wrong? 2. Is there some form of existence after we die? 3. Are others conscious? What is the mechanism by which matter generates consciousness? I believe that in...

    Atheist here.

    Do you believe that some actions are right and some actions are wrong? Do you believe that other people are conscious? There is no observation you can make that will answer either of these questions. You just have to take them on faith. If you answered yes to either of these, you may be less...

    Atheism and Agnosticism - Is there a difference?

    As a rule of thumb, an agnostic would not be opposed to going to church, whereas an atheist would
