Because they end up being convicted?It's also why nobody has a sincere conversation with you.
Well, you regularly bend out of shape when others do it to you. So I guess you know exactly what the problem is.Then what's the problem with me doing it?
Yes, obviously you can ape around to your heart's desire.Can't I ... ahem ... ape His style?
Well it's not sugar-coated rhetoric, that's for sure.Do what you want. But annoying rhetoric is never productive.
Just can't help yourself, can you. Just don't feign dismay when you think someone won't answer "honestly."Well it's not sugar-coated rhetoric, that's for sure.
If it didn't annoy you, then something's wrong somewhere.
I don't know how many times my pastor has said, "If this message didn't bother you, you'd better check where you stand with the LORD!"
indeed, it´s empty and not even sugar coated. No substance, no content and not even anything around appealing it.Well it's not sugar-coated rhetoric, that's for sure.
So you admit you are purposefully, intentionally and deliberately annoying? OK.If it didn't annoy you, then something's wrong somewhere.
He spoke about a bothering message. Not about annoying empty rhethoric.I don't know how many times my pastor has said, "If this message didn't bother you, you'd better check where you stand with the LORD!"
Why would anyone want a sterile tittle?In view of the idea that the goal of 'actual experts' is to sterilize every jot & tittle of the Bible, I have a feeling you're in for some more bafflement.
That is a tautology.If the true God is the only being in existence capable of creating matter where there was none before then there can't be another god who is capable of the same. Agreed?
You like your God's reason for doing it. Therefore your God did it? I don't think that is a valid argument.It comes down to the true God, creating matter for a specific purpose which is to create beings who can understand His power and freely desire to be with Him forever because of what He has done to save them from the power of sin and death, resulting in true everlasting love -or- your god who created matter for some reason that is yet be known...or maybe you do know why your god has created matter.
Scientists have done an amazing job so far, so yes, I expect them to reveal more about origins.You're expecting human scientific minds to reveal what is true about origins
the hypothesis
-is-
God created the universe to test our free will
Sorry to hear that.I don't use science.
Do you notice how it doesn't bother them one iota that they cannot really prove that the data provided by their senses is really representative of what lies what appears to be outside or that their minds? Yet they are very vehement when comes to anything concerning a creator? That is a major inconsistency.How can you conclude something you don't understand, doesn't exist?
You can't see the wind, yet we know it exists, and to that you will say: "We can feel the wind and see it's affects"...well, there ya' go then. And to add to that, just the fact we have a body at all to let us understand the wind, speaks volumes, but some just can't see the forest for the trees...or don't want too.
Believe what you like, as will I. I just think it's funny how you object to what I believe, makes no sense except that you know it's true but have to constantly try to convince others it is not, in order to justify your own beliefs.
Or maybe you can explain why what I believe is a concern to you?
Because natural forces don't have a mind and the universe displays the activity of a mind.How can you not see the overwhelming intelligence it took to make God and all his attributes happen?
And if you say God always existed, then why can it not be that the natural creative forces and laws of nature always existed and drove the creation of one or more universes?

Creationism is a lost cause. It's a dead-end proposition, with nowhere to go but dumb.You are right, and I'm beginning to see that among other things. It seems the more they argue their point, the less valid it becomes, while validating creation.
I know they don't like common sense, but if they even had some decent common sense reason not to believe, I might at least understand their side, but there is nothing but nothing.
Resorting to ad hominems, huh?Nothing that he might present you with will be accepted as evidence. That is called invincible ignorance.
That is very different argument from the Kalam argument that has prevailed on this thread. So folks are now starting to realize there is no logical necessity that the universe had to be created by God? They turn now to arguing from complexity?Because natural forces don't have a mind and the universe displays the activity of a mind.
