Purpose

[JacksBratt]

I'm sure that you enjoy such speculations. Sometimes little boys smoke pot and go, "Whoa, man, what if the whole universe is just a computer program?" It doesn't matter much to me. I've operated for forty-nine years on the premise that there is a real world out there to perceive. Another twenty or thirty, then out, and I won't even know that I was ever here, just like everyone who came and went before me.

That is just so sad.

Really wish you had of understood my argument.

Then why don't you show her why she might be wrong about that? or are your dreams and hopes all you have?

I really don't see the connection between these two statements.

And you cannot show someone. They have to be searching, themselves.

Just because you want something to happen doesn't mean squat, has anything ever happened for you just because you wanted it to happen? it never has and it never will for any on us, don't you think it's about time you woke up to that fact.

I wanted to be educated, I went to school.
I wanted to be liked and loved, I was kind and loved others, I was, in return, loved.
I wanted to be married, I dated and proposed to the woman I love, I am married.
I wanted rest, so I sat down and put my feet up and rested.
I wanted my soul to be whole, so I invited my savior to complete me and He did.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, only the creation/evolution part of this forum is open for non-Christians to post in,

Nope. There's an area in the forum for you to bash Christians, God, Jesus and the bible.

and even here, if an atheist drifts too far off-topic,

You aren't "drifting off-topic", the majority of your posts are concerning one thing and one thing only, the bashing of Christians, God, Jesus and the bible.

someone like justlookinla threatens to bring in the moderators, forcing me, to defend my posting privileges, to risk no further dialogue with that person.

Your posting privileges are the same as my posting privileges and everyone's posting privileges. There are many posters on this part of the forum who dispute and deny the existence of God in creation, but the threads pretty well stay on topic in agreement and disagreements. Your behavior so far hasn't been as one who wishes to dialog concerning creation and evolution, but is the typical antichrist behavior we see often.

You don't value your posting privileges enough to honor them.

No, Karl Popper thought he had solved the problem of induction. He did not convince most philosophers of science, and he certainly didn't convince most scientists, who stubbornly keep thinking that better corroborated theories are more likely to be true than ones that haven't been tested.

It doesn't matter which theory they think is more likely to be true. Who cares what anyone thinks? Pons and Fleischmann thought that you could get fusion from electrolysis of heavy water with a paladium catalyst. Other people duplicated their experiment and obtained no neutrons or helium.

And this has what to do with creation/evolution?
