Maybe. How would that impact the way YOU live your life?So life came to be with no purpose. It just happens to be what happened
This is a standard 'bag of tricks' thing among the creationists. Most of them appear to follow a script of some sort, and will dutifully if mindlessly churn out claims like this so as to make their strange beliefs in Hebrew deities seem morally superior (and thus correct).Australian and atheist aren't synonyms. What's this got to do with atheists?
That is how they avoid having to admit that they cannot address evolution scientifically.They have always said there's a difference between science and historical science.
Are you an epidemiologist? Immunologist? Virologist? Or just someone that listens to Fox?It's no surprise many support taking the vaccine.
Evidence provides an answer. You not accepting it is evidence that you do NOT, in fact, 'believe in' science.I never claimed I didn't believe in science. But I don't believe the earth is 4.5 billion years old. How old is it? No one knows
Evidence please.I don't believe someone can test a meteorite and determine its 4.5 billion years old when the same test shows that rocks formed by Mount St Helens are millions of years old
What is the evidence that the Hebrew deity conclusively absolutely without question created the earth from nothing 6-10000 years ago and formed the first human from dust of the ground?Do they say conclusively absolutely without question the earth is 4.5 billion years old?
What is your scientific evidence that the things you just asserted are conclusively absolutely without question true?When God created Adam he was a full grown man. You could have tested him and found he was 20 or 30 years old. When Jesus turned water into wine he did it instantly. It takes time to grow a vineyard harvest grapes crush them and age the wine. You could have tested it and it would have been a few years old. What if God created the earth the same way
Yet you seem arrogant enough to "know" conclusively absolutely without question that your favored deity created a full grown man from dust a few thousand years ago.I don't know. I'm not arrogant enough to think that I do know
Why did it stop happening?There was no one 'causing or controlling it' although there were (and still are) laws of physics and chemistry dictating what was possible.
The problem you're probably having is that you see life as a special outcome. There is no reason to assume this. Life is only special to you because you're familiar with it. There is no scientific reason to assume that the universe was designed specifically to allow for the existence of life. Life is simply one of many consequences arising from the particular set of conditions obtaining in the Universe.
Why do I have to be an epidemiologist, Immunologist or Virologist to take the vaccine? And I believe in science but I'm skeptical about some of it. Everyone else on here says there are no absolutes but you're telling me I must accept all the science as absolute truth.That is how they avoid having to admit that they cannot address evolution scientifically.
Are you an epidemiologist? Immunologist? Virologist? Or just someone that listens to Fox?
Evidence provides an answer. You not accepting it is evidence that you do NOT, in fact, 'believe in' science.
I didn't say you can't be skeptical of creation or reject it but if I'm skeptical of the science that can't be allowedWhat is the evidence that the Hebrew deity conclusively absolutely without question created the earth from nothing 6-10000 years ago and formed the first human from dust of the ground?
Or do you employ double standards?
I said what if God made the earth that way? I didn't say absolutely without question.What is your scientific evidence that the things you just asserted are conclusively absolutely without question true?
I never said that or asserted any such thingYet you seem arrogant enough to "know" conclusively absolutely without question that your favored deity created a full grown man from dust a few thousand years ago.
Odd how often that attitude shows up on forums like this.
Life forming. Or is this still happening?
That is what many atheists appear to believe. Theists, on the other hand, believe in a creator who imbues life with purpose. The science is the same in either case.So life came to be with no purpose. It just happens to be what happened
