How can the scriptures ring true when they knew even less than we do today? Is it because you want them to be true?

How do know the Koran is not true or any of the other religious books? They were all looking for a reason for why we all exist and made up lots of stories to try and explain everything, all of which use miracles and Magic to try and explain what they didn't understand, making something up is never going to be the answer no matter how much you want it all to be true.

The miracles noted in scripture do not really help the story
and mostly hinder it. So I don't know which you feel I need.

And you may present any story in the Koran for our analysis
that you'd like us to believe.

Like gods then, they exist only on paper -- put there by religionists.
Where are the lines drawn between them?

Where is near total agreement among those religionists?

A paper with gods is not the same thing as a game of connect-the-dots.

IOW, we don't connect those gods like you guys do yours.

Those dots are just as fake as yours.

Do you have that video where the creationist uses a Wham-O Magic Window® to "prove" the global flood or a young Earth or something?

If you need those stories to have faith, then you've missed the point
of us needing salvation for our sins against God.

The stories only illustrate the reality of our need for forgiveness.

He didn't just say 'molecules', he said a 'collection of molecules', which is what a tree - and, in fact, everything you see - is.

I don't care how he put it. You can't see molecules with your naked
eye. If you are this confused in a forum debate, you should not be here
debating.

Yes, you can - when there's a lot of them together. Individually, no, but when there's a great many of them bunched together, they're quite visible. When you look at something, you are, in fact, looking at a bunch of molecules. You can't just separate something from the things its made of and call them two different things. It's like saying that looking at a forest and looking at trees are two different things. If you're looking at a forest, you're looking at trees, because trees make up a forest. You might not be able to look at any individual tree - if you're high enough up, it might just look like a green patch. But you're looking at trees, all the same.

No, but I have the one that exposes your Y2K bologna.

[youtube]vezy9pRxeOA[/youtube]

lol. Not my "bologna". :)

Being scared of gods, demons, monsters in the closet, and improperly formatted database fields does not validate those fears.

Spiders, fine. Be scared of spiders. ^_^


Oh, I found your video with the "Magic Window®"!

The "magic" is a 0m50s.

When scanning through this video, I noted he says that the "failures of the Mars rovers are evidence against evolution". How much fail can this guy accumulate? :)

Indeed, where? So many religions, and denominations and sects within those. It is just like there is no outside influence that might get them all going in the same direction.
A paper with gods is not the same thing as a game of connect-the-dots.
I didn't say that it was.

Your dots are as fake as mine. Got it.:wave:

So when you see that green patch, the trees are invisible to your eye, no?
You are a funny guy.

And you're an evasive one.

Do you deny that a collection of molecules in the form of a tree is quite visible?

I've said that the tree is visible to the naked eye and that the molecules
and everything else that makes up the tree that we can't see is not.

That is what the verse in the bible means. Why are you running in circles?

I'm actually not arguing about the Bible verse. Keep up.

So do you understand the difference between a molecule and a 'collection of molecules'?

If you can see molecules with your naked eye, then you must be superman.
If you continue to put words in my mouth, then you must be intellectually dishonest.
No one, including the bible, is saying the earth is fixed or that those
things rotate around it. That word means firmly established. You are
just being obtuse.
So, "immovable" allows for the Earth to move around the Sun, its orbit perturbed by the other planets, the Moon, as well as have the sun to move within the galaxy, the galaxy to move within the cosmos.

You re-translate the bible as you see fit.

If your god has "firmly established" the position/path/orbit of the Earth, does this allow for the likes of humans to alter this path?

If they are only stories, there is nothing to forgive.

Is that what you say to him who killed your slow moving mother?
You are just fine because you are a product of
your natural environment? Darwin rules your life?
The weak need to die so the fit may prosper?

Jesus believed it.

Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.


That's good enough for me.

Why do you accept what the bible says as evidence for the truth of the bible? That is circular reasoning. After all, you should always accept my posts as perfectly inerrant. See, it says so right here in one of my posts.

Do you accept that, as you do the biblical word about itself? Why the one and not the other? Remember, you have abandoned references to evidence, so don't go trying to link your reasons to evidence.

Religions are ALL in the mind that's why people can change their minds about their religion and ever drop them.

So is pain, colors, sounds, feeling, taste, odors,happiness and the world we know. The more we learn the harder it becomes to defend "realism".
Your Bible quote is about the the very existence of the universe implying the existence of someone that made it. It says nothing about the how that someone made it.
.
I disagree as it does noted it created by the Word of God. It held together by the power of his word. "Word" is mental and not physical. Scientist are trying to explain the origins of the universe and life through total physical means instead the product of the mind. That is which seen is created by which isn't seen.
