This "one who created nature" you speak of, can some of His rebellious subordinates influence our mindset?
You can SAY it's irrational all you want, but it's impossible for you to SHOW that it's irrational.
Do you understand? If you want to SHOW that it's irrational, then you need to give actual scientific evidence that it's irrational. Until then, all you're doing is just crying in the wind.
I know where you're going with this:
"Blah-blah-blah. Satan influenced Darwin to write the Origin of Species. Blah-blah-blah."
As a deist, do you pray that God will break His silence and clear the air once and for all?
You certainly know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run, don't you?
I accept that the theory of evolution is the best available scientific explanation for what produced the history of life on earth, but I certainly don't accept it as the truth ... on fact, I suspect it's nowhere near the truth.
That's an understatement. We have no "knowledge" about what mechanisms were responsible for producing the history of life on earth, for it's impossible to obtain such knowledge. The best anyone can do is theorise about what mechanisms were responsible.
Furthermore, we don't even know what the history of life on earth is, simply because fossils may have recorded only a tiny fraction of all the organisms that have ever existed. The history of life on earth is unknowable.
The theory of evolution is inherently irrational.
Believing that human beings are the result of some mindless biological process is highly irrational, therefore believing that the history of life on earth is the result of some mindless biological process is highly irrational, therefore the theory of evolution is inherently irrational.
As Baptist, I don't think you'd care either way.
You can SAY it's irrational all you want, but it's impossible for you to SHOW that it's irrational.
It's objectively irrational. No need for me to provide "actual scientific evidence".Do you understand? If you want to SHOW that it's irrational, then you need to give actual scientific evidence that it's irrational. Until then, all you're doing is just crying in the wind.
No, it's more that I know that you're a broken record.
It's objectively irrational. No need for me to provide "actual scientific evidence".
Inferring from incomplete, but consistent evidence is completely rational.It's objectively irrational. No need for me to provide "actual scientific evidence".
Well, as the world says:
"Repetition is the mother of learning."
The only reason I don't care is because I know He's going to break His silence.
He said so in writing.
And one facet of His program is what is called "our blessed hope."
As a deist, do YOU have this same hope?
And yet you give me grief for being a quote 'broken record' too... One rule for me and one for thee, eh?
No, you don't know. The true history of life on earth could be vastly different to what the fossil record reveals.No, we do know
If not 100%, what is the percentage? You can't even hazard a guess, bcoz you have no idea and no way of knowing.just not in 100% detail.
I find myself focused more on the here and now and the consequences of those rather than things that I will probably not be around to experience.
Do you hope for ANYTHING?
You know -- like world peace, alleviation of hunger, those sorts of things?
In that case, please present evidence that it's subjectively irrational, instead of just saying that it is.No, it's subjectively irrational since it's your opinion. If you want to be seen as objectively irrational, you need to present evidence that is instead of just saying that it is.
In that case, please present evidence that it's subjectively irrational, instead of just saying that it is.
