I don't even... what the fuck? how can people listen to someone that retarded? I got totally lost about 4 and a half minutes in. This is the most sick perversion of scientific theory I have ever heard.
even the metaphors are retarded
"my neighbour's dog pooped on my lawn! I'll blow up his house!"
Yes, yes, we all know that holy books contort morality.
one important caveat: I think it's important to stop others being hurt at all costs. Taking a child away from an abusively religious household might hurt the parents, but it helps the kids on an infinitely more profound level. That's...
I have a pretty simple moral code: do whatever you can to bring yourself and those close to you happiness without hurting others, and if you can, help people you don't know.
Pretty simple, but it works.
you know what? the entire universe IS evidence of the divine. The problem is that said evidence is entirely circumstantial. IF there is a divine creator, then all of creation evidences his handywork. if there is not such a creator, then all of the universe is evidence that he is unneccessary for...
it could also be because the people on this forum think logically about things. We should try posting this on a creationist forum, sans the answer, and see how many people can figure it out. We may just be able to prove a negative correlation.

according to einstein I'm in the top two percent of thinkers on the planet. to be frank that's a scary fucking thought. Hopefully some of you can also figure it out and give me a little bit of hope for humanity.
so what you're saying is that this argument won't fly as long as people are willing to believe something that flys in the face of all evidence and logical sense?
God fucking damnit I hate the religious mindset.
It doesn't disprove it. it simply would prove that god could not interact with our universe if he were made of a different substance from matter. unless of course there is some way for something that doesn't even experience time or have any volume or mass to interact with and comprehend our...
okay, I concede that perhaps the argument is not as sound as I thought it was HOWEVER
If string theory holds true, then it will be sound. Because string theory entails that space and time are composed of the same substance as matter and energy, we can reason that anything not made of that...
just proven that the immaterial is irrelevant. Just saying he can do anything without qualification is stupid. Can he do the logically impossible (IE microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?) if that's not the case, then he cannot do everything conceivable, now can he...
Notice I'm not saying cannot possibly exist. I said "is irrelevant" in other words "might as well not exist." Of course, this does prove that god as posited by christians cannot possibly exist, but it shows all gods to be irrelevant.
The end of the world referred to in the 1012 prophecy is in fact the date when the earth will begin to slip into the next ice age, (this is indicated by the references to the god who governs the earth's orbit in said prophecies) something that was determined through precise calculations made by...
Now, I'm going to rant for a moment about someone I really, really hate, so bear with me here. I will also warn you that he is, in fact, a furry, so if you want to preserve your innocence, get out now, lest you hear tell of a man who dreams of tails the fox fucking cinderblocks. Yes, you heard...
simply observing things disturbs their wavelengths. If it has not left evidence here, it has not observed or interacted with the earth, or at least it isn't doing so right now. in this case there is no point in acting to please it because it doesn't know what we are doing. in other words, it is...
Well let's take a look at what the substance that christians would posit would be:
-impossible to detect via any of our senses (otherwise the absence of evidence argument doesn't work)
-Is within view of everything in the universe, or at least everything on earth (otherwise could not be...
