Souls and Evolution

[Cabal]

AV has perfected the art of "trollism," it's kind of like atheism, 'cept different.

Has its own doctrine and software!

Needs a format & reinstall.

Computer needs purging with fire and salt

Computer needs purging with fire and salt

That might damage the Hardware.
I'm willing to bet that a good reinstall of the base OS should clean up most problems.
That and the removal of any embedded viruses.

 

[AirPo]

I'm just asking an honest question.

Sorry, but

According to atheist doctrine, do glorified apes have souls?

is not an honest question.

 

[Cabal]

That and the removal of any embedded viruses.

Those deceptive intelligent PC designers.

 

[MoonLancer]

AV, you really don't understand what honest questions are. That's why i sometimes call you dishonest. Many of your questions are not honest. they are loaded.

so av, did you enjoy beating your wife? This is an honest question. please only answer yes or no.

 

[Naraoia]

According to atheist doctrine, do glorified apes have souls?

"Atheist doctrine" does not recognise "glorified" apes.

(Mine doesn't, anyway.)

According to those who believe in souls, when a human embryo splits into two separate entities, say, five days after conception, does the soul likewise split in two, or does a new soul get implanted..? In other words, do identical twins have half a soul apiece, or is one of them soulless at conception?

Hey, that question deserves an answer. Anyone?

I don't have nearly the education [an atheist] has.

You have a flattering view of atheists

Maybe you didn't have it taught in Biology 101 --- but what about Advanced Biology --- or all those other types of Biology classes that others took that you didn't?

A funny thing to say to a biologist.

That and the removal of any embedded viruses.

They have a nasty tendency of coming back.

 

[Hespera]

What is a soul?

You guys both get rep... that was hilarious!!!

Oh, and in case AV is still lurking:

- There is no "atheist doctrine".
- There is no empirical evidence demonstrating "souls" exist.

With those two points in mind... the answer is No.

Yeah, you're not carrying an atheist faith icon, and he's /threaded.

Or, 404 AV NOT FOUND, to carry on the analogy

 

[Jester4kicks]

Error:
AV = /threaded not TRUE

Similar errors:
AV = /posting not TRUE

Possible causes:
AV cannot = /anything

All I'm asking is, is there a science book somewhere that has a chapter on the soul of a human being?

Is this taught in biology, or anthropology, or [whatever] class as science?

Should it be?

 

[Nathan Poe]

I don't think like an atheist thinks, and I don't have nearly the education one has.

Well, we agree on something.

I'm just asking an honest question.

Well, the agreement was fun while it lasted...

I'm not trying to be funny here,

Too bad -- it's your only forte.

but, no offense, I am not going to accept any answer a non-atheist gives me --- unless it is "yes".

You're rarely accept any answer anyone gives you, unless it's the one you want.

 

[Shemjaza]

Not having any religious doctrine, etc etc...

Nope, I don't think we have souls.

 

[Freodin]

Well, my glorified ape did have a soul, but being the messy fellow that he is, he has misplaced it somewhere.

I´m sure I´ll find it between my used allegories sometimes.

Or do you think my atheist doctrine took it? I´ll have to ask her the next time I see her.

 

[Tinker Grey]

You know, AV1611VET, if you wanted a straight answer you could have simply asked your question as follows:

Atheists, given that you probably accept evolution, do you believe we have a soul and how typical for atheists is your answer?

Pretty simple, huh. No "doctrine" dishonesty. No "glorified ape" mocking tones. The "how typical" gets at your goal of a sense of consenus. And, "evolution" gets at your "glorified ape" stuff.

Now, of course, you'd still have to answer the questions "what is a soul" and "where is the soul", etc. But, at least you would be castigated for asking a dishonest question.

So, what should one conclude from your question but that it has trollish characteristics? Did you really think your question wouldn't get taken apart? If you did and posted it any way, what does that make you?

Well what does it make those of us who post something in response? Troll enablers?

According to atheist doctrine, do glorified apes have souls?

(Just a simple YES or NO will do, please --- this isn't an invitation to spout.)

Glarb.

Oh wait, you wanted capitals? Fine.

GLARB.

All I'm asking is, is there a science book somewhere that has a chapter on the soul of a human being?

Is this taught in biology, or anthropology, or [whatever] class as science?

As long as stuff like souls, angels, spirits, ghosts, gods & goblins etc pp are explicitly defined as super-/preternatural they are also explicitly defined to fall outside of the scope of science.

*shrugs*

It is not as if this was my problem.
