Hi, Frenchfrye ...

does the bible mention penguins? so you dont beleive in those?

Split Rock was just making light conversation with me.

I discount a lot of things he says because they aren't in the Bible; so he discounts a lot of things I say because they aren't [mentioned] in the Bible.

It's kind of a quid pro quo thing, if you know what I mean.

 

[mzungu]

I have a feeling cryptozoologists would disagree with you; as well as this lady: Jane Goodall.

Shall I apply your question to her as well?

Put another way, if Ms. Goodall believes in Bigfoot, is it alright with you if I do also?

Anyone can claim anything but that does not make it a fact. I know Jane Goodal personally as she is a family friend and I honestly believe that she spoke truthfully but this does not mean she is right. When evidence of Bigfoot is brought forth then and only then will I accept it. This is the way science works. So far the only so called evidence is amateur footage. This is not evidence.

Exactly. Right now, Bigfoot (along with the Loch Ness monster, Thor and Leprechauns) require belief. Only when there is evidence enough to evaluate their existence I will tell you if I accept them or not. At the moment, I do not believe they exist.

I'll ask again.

Is it alright with you scientists if I believe it sans evidence?

 

[AV1611VET]

my bad

That's okay! You made an excellent point, though!

100% alright, I already told you that many times. What is not alright is to invent lies about science to support your belief.

I didn't make that film, chief; nor did I star in it.

 

[CabVet]

I didn't make that film, chief; nor did I star in it.

And I am not saying the film is a lie. Your question, directed to the scientists, was if it was ok to believe in something without evidence. My answer was yes, as long as you don't lie about science along the way.

Lying is wrong, period; whether its about science, or anything else.

Indeed!

Now the question is how do You define Lying?

That is true. But unfortunately it is not the breaking of one of the Ten Commandments.

A lie is an untruth, told with the intent to deceive.

 

[AV1611VET]

That is true. But unfortunately it is not the breaking of one of the Ten Commandments.

Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

So an untruth to troll or joke is fine?

No, no, no, I know God does not like lying. I am talking about the Big Ten. You know, Moses, mountain, carved in stone, etc. I believe the ninth of those was something about the first fruits are God's and the tenth is a ban on cheeseburgers.

What about repeating a lie?

Repeating a lie when it's intended to deceive is also a lie. Repeating a lie without intending to deceive is simply a statement.
