About a creationist complaining that he couldn't get onto the blogtv call in show.

Guys, this individual thinks that the Earth is flat, Noah's Flood was caused by a tidal bulge created by Pangea and thinks that scientists believe that Dinosaurs had bones made from limestone, so I's be amazed if he can figure out how to use Skype.
:lol: :lol:

Mensan, you're my No1 favorite :D

Not really... Buddhism is built around atheism ;)

Yea, but if they're coming at me with a chain saw I'd rather it be a catholic so I can throw holy water at them or something. Holy water kills catholics, right? Or is that vampires...
shit, I always get them confused. It's the whole "drinking blood" thing...

it would also further confuse theists that don't understand atheism.

Yes but, let's face it, you can confuse a theist by showing him four shovels and telling him to take his pick. Confusing theists is not something we should be afraid of. It's their natural state.

Thread: Rainbojaculation

Discussing being overwhelmed by the beauty of nature:
JustBusiness17 said:
You kinda negated your point by including that disclaimer, but I'm glad you did. The only reason that DRD had an emotional response like that was because his brain started to FRY. He was overloaded with sensory input without the cognitive capacity to understand why he was seeing what he was seeing. It was a mental breakdown!

And while that kind of high is probably what keeps stupid people (for brevity) from entering nihilsm (via ignorance), the intellectual analysis is FAR more beautiful than anything that guy was thinking about. It's the difference between Carl Sagan and Timmy from South Park...

But that by it's self isn't evidence that we should believe science knows what it's talking about, that only demonstrates that we needn't take the priest's word for it.

It shows that the "I don't understand, therefore guiding hand" has been used many times in the past and has never worked. Then doesn't the scientist just have to pull out a Jacob's ladder?



Boom, lightning is from nature, understood by science; not from god. It just sounds like god of the gaps to me, am I missing something?

Classy!

Thank you, I should start reading more of the threads here.

Hypothetically speaking, lets say you have two deities who exist on a planet with complex life. For argument sake, lets say they cannot exist anywhere else.
They also possess these general attributes: omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence. Additionally, one represents evil and must destroy all good and the other represents good and must destroy all evil.

What is the most probable outcome of this scenario?

you waking up from a hangover, naked with a goat in your bed.
:shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What you call personal dogmatic attachment is what I call my basic premises for all reasion which - to remind you - were ...infinity, relativity, change and duality. And those are the premises from which I started my argumentation. It is not dogma, but the perspective that I will hold up until my last breath... not because of my being stubborn, but because these are the things that define and constrain my consciousness such that - even if I tried - I could not deny them...

Most of what you people do is to argue from ignorance

So, stick to your science-is-always-right-haven and I'll move on with my boat called "Push Gravity", fueled by my own premises of reason.

Either the "alternative explanation for redshift" or the one whose name I have forgotten but was locked... I.e. either of the gigantic threads by realisoph. I might try to dig up links to the actual posts, if people want them.
