Since it's not established that A => B, your logic is unsound: it is not established that the reason the Bible has not 'passed away' is because it's 'Gods word' - it's entirely possible, for instance, that if it's just an old piece of test, it's persisted by sheer chance. After all, there must be a most popular religion, and it would have a scared text - who's to say that Christianity didn't just get lucky?


Well, so then you are saying you believe in survival or the luckiest?? Hmm?

Often enough that is all it is.

Including the luck to born, say, in the USA, not Chad; or the luck to be born with intelligence or beauty. (some of us got both)

So it is no longer survival of the fittest?

What made you think it ever was?

And if you know the answer to your own Q please tell me.

Well, we both know you think you know the answer to your own question, Hespera.

At one time Darwin USED that term "survival of the fitest" regarding natural selection but later it was rejected when it didn't fit exactly true to form.

Once again science has their own "adaptations" of the English language to "fix" the errors of the past. That's the only way they can get people to accept what they promote. Lots of little bandaids that they hope no one looks at... and for the most part most don't. They just bow down to the gods of science and say ... yes, of course, we can see it (especially when you give us such meaningful pictures with your explanations), praise be to the gods of science... the Darwinians Ha Ha Ha. I am so funny it amazes me. :D

Is that all your life hangs on WC someone else admitting defeat to you. Empty, empty, empty!
Of course it's not. Why would you think that?

Getting my Russian A-Level, now that's important to me. As is passing my CBT and getting an awesome Suzuki GSX1300. As is going to see Hairspray live on Saturday. As is celebrating Easter with my friends, family, and partner - with the added bonus that I get to indulge in all the food I've given up for lent.

So no, Inan3, my life is not 'empty, empty, empty' :).

Well, so then you are saying you believe in survival or the luckiest?? Hmm?
I'm saying that's a valid possibility. Because it's at least possible that the Bible is the most popular religious text out of sheer luck*, his argument that this proves God exists, is fallacious. The sheer fact that the Bible is popular doesn't prove God exists, nor that he is the reason it's popular.

*After all, even if there are no gods, there's still going to be religious texts, and one of them is going to have the most followers.

So... you're saying clarity and accuracy in science, scientific literature, and 'layman' explanations of scientific facts and theories... you're saying all that is a bad thing?

That is very unlikely given your demonstrated lack of knowledge of science.

Lets see. There is no 'adaptation" of the English language to fix errors, except in your imagination. Meaningless criticism.


That's the only way they can get people to accept what they promote.

What a completely weird thing to say. Nothing in science is anything but silly word games, to you?

Lots of little bandaids that they hope no one looks at... and for the most part most don't.

Like I said about MK, a criticism or attempt to belittle has no sting if it is completely off. What a strange version of life you have!
They just bow down to the gods of science and say .


There is no bowing, and no gods. So again, meaningless.
the Darwinians

a non existent group, other than the residents of Darwin Australia.

I have many times observed that those who choose to reject ecolution, always for preconceived religious reasons, have lo and many a strawman to savage. "Darwinian / gods" for example.

Of course, not a solitary one of them has ever, can ever come up with a single actual fact that would contradict evolution.

IF it were false, that should be a cinch, not that it would a craationist who came up with the data.

Since the theory is impregnable to any facts ever detected, it leaves
saying "
haha its so funny it amazes me".
as a wet noodle with which to lash about.

What would be your falsifiable theory as to why nobody has ever been able to uncover any contrary data?

Hespera, you really need to get a life (preferably eternal life) but you really do need to join humanity. You seem to be about the most unhappy person I know. You can't seem to cope with the fact that MOST of the world does not live in your little world of science. You guys make it much bigger than it is. No body really cares about Darwinian/Darwinism etc. You guys are the only ones who care about "ecolution". You alone are the only ones who are impressed by the sounds of your own voices. That's why you come on here to hear yourselves boast and talk but most of what you say makes no sense!?! It's foolishness. It's meaningless. You have no part in even your science world. No one really cares about you but God and probably your mother. These guys on here don't care about you. Richard Dawkins doesn't care about you. Budhha doesn't care about you. God cares about you. And He's the One you push away!! Very sad!!! Very sad!!!

What I'm saying is fix the inaccuracy and lies of what is out there and stop preaching to me about how inaccurate and false the Bible and God and Christianity. I can only see hypocrisy.

What inaccuracy and lies in science are you talking about? Why would inaccuracy in science negate inaccuracy and falsehoods in Christianity and the Bible?

You know what is sad it the people like you who are still deep trailer park, in a world that has left them behind.

You live in a cultural / intellectual backwash.

You dont know, I'm sure, but the world is crowded with very smart, ambitious well educated people who wont have the least sentiment about running over the people who cant keep up.

You seem to lack the capacity to discuss an actual issue, is that the reason for your stereotyping insults (typical atheist rhetoric, etc) and of course, making up so many things about other people with which to try to put them down? (you may want to consult your book on 'bearing false witness", btw i understand it is frowned upon. So why do you do it so freely?)

No hypocrisy in all your false witnessing against people you dont know?

The bible is inaccurate in many places, like the flood story. Fix that.

Speak for yourself. Most people in my country know the value of science - it's the bedrock of modern civilisation. If you don't care for science, I suggest you leave the Internet. After all, the former built the latter.

You guys make it much bigger than it is. No body really cares about Darwinian/Darwinism etc. You guys are the only ones who care about "ecolution".
Except for, y'know, the kids who're trying to get a good science education. And the people whose lives are saved because of our superior understanding of biology. And the infrastructure built using adaptations of evolutionary theory. And the entire scientific community, with added emphasis on the entire field of biology and biological research.

Yep, no one cares...

You are a visciously cruel person, Inan3. Is there any need to talk to a fellow human like that? Is that really how you think you'll win someone over to Christ? What a pathetic example you are.

Hespera can look after herself, but still... there's no need to be a complete [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse].

OMGoodness!! You really are a person!!! Who would have thought...?

The sheer fact that the Bible is popular doesn't prove God exists, nor that he is the reason it's popular.

*After all, even if there are no gods, there's still going to be religious texts, and one of them is going to have the most followers.


None like the Bible though!! The Bible isn't popular because people like the wording. The Bible is popular because it brings them to God on so many levels. It is God's message to man and when men believe and follow it they can actually come into the presence of the supreme Diety. It changes peoples lives. That's evidence WC. Lives changed, healed, set free, etc. All because of the Bible. Don't you suppose with all the rhetoric online and books written against it that if it was as you say it is that it would have fallen by the wayside already. No, men and women have given their lives for this book and GOD has preserved it and it is not popular by luck or chance. NO OTHER book has gone through the scrutiny or praise that the Bible has. No, WC, this is God's word to mankind, written down and preserved and all you have to do is believe it and obey. It's a book of light and truth but it tells us, "Men loved darkness better than Light, BECAUSE their deeds were evil." That's the reason it is rejected. People don't want to obey it. They think it will put them in bondage but in actuality it will make them free.

Allegedly. All I see is a religious text, no more inspiring or hope-bringing than the Qu'ran or the Vedic texts. Care to provide evidence that it's anything more than that?

Yep I can for sure look out for myself. But really it is weird, someone who presents as full of christian love and all, and so nasty!

I dont get it. She sends me a pm like this... I would be proud to be your friend, Hespera.

And the very next post is claws and razor blades!

The one i really dont get is how a person can make up vicious lies, and then post them, all the time claiming a personal relationship with someone who supposedly said "thou shalt not bear false witness".

Now, I'm going to throw this back at you. If you guys don't like God I suggest you leave the world. After all the former built the latter.

Science is a REQUIRED course and it's unfortunate also not because of the science that can be learned but because of the atheistic beliefs that are perpetrated in the classroom USING science as its tool.


You are a visciously cruel person, Inan3. Is there any need to talk to a fellow human like that? Is that really how you think you'll win someone over to Christ? What a pathetic example you are.

Don't preach to me WC you and Hespera yourselves are constantly belittling and insulting Christians and their God. It is so predictable that when someone throws it back at you, you cry "viscious and cruel". I am not cruel but I will admit I am saying these things to get a rise out of you NOT to insult but to hurt. The wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. I am not your enemy. I am your friend but as long as you think you can go on slamming Christians and God and no one ever tells you the truth. You will never come out of the gutter you don't even know you are in.

Hespera can look after herself, but still... there's no need to be a complete [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse].

I know Hespera can take care of herself, I've seen her in action. I don't remember you ever scolding her for the cruel and vicious things she has said, nor any of your other cronies on this forum. Don't be a hypocrite WC. Jesus often called the Pharisees hypocrites and whited sepulchres full of dead man's bones. He called them snakes etc. The truth hurts but it also heals.
