You equivocate so its difficult to surmise exactly where on the board you are. I seriously doubt you know either.
Another reason AD is growing in popularity no one wants to be "labeled" anymore just to satisfy someones curiosity and that is something you seem to be seeking with your postings.
If that were indeed true one would expect that you'd be chomping at the bit to clarify your position. Instead, we get more of the same shenanigans. Carry on.
Basically we're asking about said design. You've not answered with anything of substance.
Who/what was the causative agent in your paradigm? Was it a sky daddy? Sentient quarks? A quantum fart? An ethereal being with too much TNT and time on its hands? <Shrug>
Just asking.
link that its growing in popularity
Pope Francis isn't a regular Pope. He's a cool Pope.
Case in point: the hero Catholicism needs questioned the veracity of creationism this week by publicly endorsing the legitimacy of science-based ideologies such as evolution and the Big Bang theory.
"When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so,” Francis said during an address delivered to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. “He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment.”
He further argued that the veracity of those theories did nothing to dispel Christian beliefs on the genesis of the universe, saying that both could exist harmoniously.
“The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it,” he continued. "Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.”
So why do so many others disagree with you on this? Talking in the billions.
billions disagree with you as well. public opinion doesn't change anything though. for a long time everybody thought the earth was flat, or that the sun revolved around the earth
I'm talking about today, how come so many "today" believe in some God?
because they're fed it as absolute fact throughout their childhood and are pressured to maintain it. when someboy says "i'm atheist" its almost perceived as evil in the states
So it has nothing to do with people simply feeling better about having faith in something beyond just this?
i've talked to you ad nauseam about the whole "makes people feel better thing"
The bottom line is real simple, most people who have lived on this planet "needed" a God in their life. Religious beliefs ....HUGE!!!!!!!!!! So it's pretty obvious this..."there is no God"...doesn't work in any society or culture. Would we elect an atheist as our president, of course not. Is the head of any country an atheist?
This need to...."well what does science say about things"....appears to mean next to nothing, people want that God so they have one.
like i've said over and over again, that's all very fine and dandy, but it doesn't mean a whole lot
I can see why you are like you are, tell an old woman or a young child that grandpa or that dog Rex aren't really going to heaven because.....their beliefs don't really mean a whole of a lot.
Dude, sheesh~!
warm and fuzzy feelings, feeling better inside, all that good stuff... has nothing to do with my point
Ok, getting back to those hard cold.....theories....hahahaha!!!!!!! Give me a room full of those who have some God in their life everyday of the week over a bunch of cold ...bah humbuggers...like you. I pity ya guy.
this is all irrelevant talk though, and has nothing to do with the topic
and this is all specific to the gods in the holy books... the god's that care about us and love us, not god in general
I'm the daddy of this thread slugger, I do what I want, besides you're boring. I'm noticing you have no sense of humor at all and are pretty robotic.
You....stick to topic, I need to stick to topic
like a ing robot, hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
i have a sense of humor, i didn't know it was that type of thread
we go from talking about evidence/proof to warm fuzzy feelings and thats where i lose interest
How can you only stick to one aspect of this? Obviously......evidence/proof....hasn't made a dent. There are billions of people who totally ignore....evidence/proof. They go with what's in their heart. And.....nothing has "really" been proven anyway.
i'm aware, that's what bothers me the most when it comes to these discussions
