    A treatise on atheism in several parts

    Appealing to authority? Did you know that Stephen Hawking is an atheist? If he is the wiser now than when he wrote "A brief history of time", why would he become an atheist? Also, wouldn't the quote that you are citing then be meaningless? The problem is that arguments made by theist...

    Knowledge or Happiness?

    I don't see how such happiness could be considered pure. I think it be best as described as synthetic happiness. Such synthetic happiness, could be cut short by you dying because of some fatal uncontrollable disease that everyone would fall prey to because there is really no knowledge on how to...

    are there other universes?

    There is a difference between parallel universes, and just a plain vanilla multiverse. Parallel universes suggest that, there are millions of universes where there are dopplegangers of myself, that do similar things but then do things that are different. That, seems very implausible, because...

    Replenish the Earth?

    It'd be helpful if you were more direct. There'd be less posts on this thread if you had told us what you think it means, or what the Webster Dictionary states it means. From Dictionary.com re·plen·ish –verb (used with object) 1. to make full or complete again, as by supplying what is...

    The Islamic Black Box

    I disagree. I think it contains mysteries to the Big Bang and Einstein's theory of Relativity.

    Can science justify atheism in people that don't understand science?

    Let's see. There is no emperical evidence for the existence of big foot. True. There is no emperical evidence for the non-existence of big foot. ... impossible. cannot be determined even if the reality was that big foot did not exist. arguments like these are that cause false premises. ^_^...

    The intelligently designed cake

    So, what does "Intelligent Design" really teach then? Does it teach anything at all?

    The intelligently designed cake

    AV1611VET, also, saying "My girlfriend made it" does not answer the question, "what is the recipe", or does it?

    If this isn't Islam then why do the Muslims say it is Islam?

    You know, you got me thinking... you do have a point. If killings like these are not permitted under Islam, why do they happen? I know some muslim posters on here are going to say, "they are not following the real word of the Quran, the Quran doesn't order killing, these people are not real...

    Poll for the scientists

    Hey that's cheating... Did you vote on the poll? I am a computer scientist as well as an engineer. Yeah, I would agree with you... if it weren't for Galileo's persistence and hard headedness, it would have taken us much longer to realize of our surroundings in outer space.

    Peace in the Middle East

    How would a wise king resolve this issue? Ok, how about, remove everyone from the land, and destroy the land so that it remains uninhabitable for a good number of centuries... unless, of course, the one side agrees that the other can have it.

    Miracles in the Qur'an

    Same question I've asked before... it's as though as if God makes mistakes. Scripture 1.0 (Torah) Scripture 2.0 (Bible) translation software included, Scripture 3.0 (Quran) with corruption protection. I think declaring that the God sent previous versions and that this one he protected from...

    Miracles in the Qur'an

    are you serious? :sigh: I don't think that what I was trying to say was that hard to grasp. If you want other sides, read the Jehova's Witness example. But that is besides the point, this doesn't prove anything. These are all illogical arguments.

    No Compulsion or Not.

    They had the truth? Sorry, but they didn't... them having the truth is just your opinion. Those who claim to have the truth, are far from it... This is the worst line of reasoning... according to you they are going to go to hell in the end, correct? Why kill him? They are going to get their...
