Not really. You have one point of view and you will not depart from it no matter what I say. So discussing it would be just a useless waste of time for me.
The entire paragraph screams it. If you don't believe that the fairy tale is absolutely true you will never go to heaven when you die. So you force yourself to pretend belief, nobody with a functioning brain could believe that unless their fear of death is such that they deliberately lie to themselves.
BTW who recorded the alleged conversations as reported in the GoE?
What is it about the whole paragraph screaming it that makes you think I have a fear of death?
I agree with you that you believe that the creation institute is by definition dishonest.
i agree with you that you would like to know who reported the alleged conversations as reported in the GoE. By the way, what is the GoE?
If one makes a positive assertion one takes on a burden of proof. If all one can do is to make nonsensical claims then one only earns laughter.
I do not believe. I know. There is a difference. That group was shown to be dishonest countless times in their own articles. To even work there one must swear not to use the scientific method. As a result they have zero credibility.
Again, you may work on mere belief. You should be asking how others know.
Please, you at best have no idea of what you are talking about. I follow the evidence. You don't. You do not even understand the concept of evidence. I offered to discuss that concept so that you could debate properly. Until you understand the concept we do not even need to discuss evolution.
But it's not a problem that there is no substantive evidence for God?
They're not denying evolution, they're acknowledging that the process of evolution has produced wonderful creatures that we'd hate to lose, but also that it has produced complex webs of interdependent organisms (ecosystems) that we're also loath to lose, partly because their multi-billion year development is a wonder we can't replicate, and partly because, being part of the world, we are dependent on them in subtle ways for what we eat and breathe, and if we mess up the systems that support those resources, we're likely to become as extinct as the other 99.9% of creatures that ever lived sooner than we'd like.
It's probably just the fact that you chose to focus on the 'absolute oblivion' you associate with lack of belief rather than the boundless positives associated with belief. It's the way you tell'em
I agree that you feel like laughing at my assertions and I understand that you require proof.
I agree that you believe that Christians who write articles concerning their faith are dishonest and have zero credibility.
I agree that I should be asking how others know, in fact, I should make a whole lot of effort about it!!!
