Foundational Falshoods of Creationism

[phyzik]

somewhere between 240,000 and 3,500,000 North Koreans died from starvation or hunger-related illnesses, with the deaths peaking in 1997.

But the Spurs got Tim Duncan in the draft in 1997.

God

[xmas1997]

Rob, is this guy a Spurs fan?
Because if he is, I wonder what any one of the players would say to him if he spewed his venom around them?
He should be ashamed of himself for acting like an immature brat.
He is literally ranting.

[RD2191]

I'm not sure. And I really hope he's trolling. God had nothing to do with the events he mentioned, good or bad.

You obviously were not an Atheist and do not understand the ideology behind it. If you felt that you had to come up with the burden of proof of "non-belief" you did not understand the concept at all. You just fell into the trap of "Wanting" to believe. Again, if you "were" an atheist, the burden of proof was not on you... you were not the one making extraordinary claims.

To make it blunt... There is NO CLAIM that an atheist is making. It is merely the lack of evidence of the extraordinary.

When I say "there is no God" I am not denouncing the POSSIBILITY of one, I (and almost every Atheist) is simply saying based on the evidence, it is highly unlikely and until there is QUANTIFIABLE evidence, we simply wont believe it.... just like we dont believe in unicorns, leprechauns and Santa Claus as any sane person should.

If "God" where to post a message in the sky or some form of irrefutable evidence claiming himself as such... do you know what I (and most Atheist) would do?

We would say " , I was wrong!"

That is all it would take. We are not asking much from an all powerful omnipotent being that controls the universe that somehow requires our adulation to stroke his ego.

Until that happens, take your sky fairy bull and shove it.

lol


the great "copout"

I don't have to prove it - I didn't make a claim! (giving me license to ridicule the other side!)

[Blake]

Now, you are saying that the skeptic has no burden of proof ever, right? I guess because he is not claiming anything.
But if the skeptic does make a claim whether negative or positive, doesn't it fall to him to provide proof of his claim?
No offense meant to either side by the way.

Hey look at that. You're starting to get how burden of proof works.

Bravo.

[Blake]

That's correct, unless the "other side" can back their claim.

[Blake]

He could deff use more help in the being tolerant department. I for one do not agree with the gay/lesbian lifestyle but as someone who tries to follow Gods rules I have to respect them and be tolerant of their lifestyles. I don't go around hating gays/lesbians.

Bible God's rule is to kill the gays.

You're not following his rule.

[Blake]

Sounds good, hopefully I won't be working. Saturdays are a little slower so I'll probably be able to get away.

Blake is just a living contradiction. He hates Christians yet sent his daughter to a christian school. What the heck.

I hate public schools. That's really all it boils down to.

I don't hate Christians. I just make fun of christianity.

[RandomGuy]

He didn't. I don't think he commented on it. As far as I know most slaves were captives of wars and such. Even the Israelites were slaves at one point.

So, slavery is moral then?

[RandomGuy]

no. posting 10+ minute videos during a debate is not useful tbh. nobody will watch it

Not on me if they don't. I never assume the intellectually lazy and dishonest people that I tend to take to task have the intellectual ooomph to do so.

But, I thought you might like it. Take it or leave it.

To be clear:

Not saying you are either lazy or dishonest, it seemed to me that you might actually be interested.

[RandomGuy]

RG try not getting your beliefs from evilbible.com and you just might be able to clear your mind and think with an open mind without bias.

Logical fail.

An anti-smoking website may be horribly biased against smoking, but they are not wrong when they tell you that smoking is bad for you.

I rarely take anything I read at any website at face value and almost always check sources, and read background material. It is part of what makes me effective at evaluating information.

Criticizing someone for not having an open mind in the same sentence where a source is close-mindedly dismissed doesn't help your case, FYI. Your definition of "open-minded" is "someone who drinks the same cool-aid as me", and everybody knows it. You don't give a about being truly open minded.

[RandomGuy]

What ? You're the one hurling insults. There is no debate here, and that is what most don't understand. You could have a gun to my head and I would not renounce my faith in God.

Neither would the people who flew planes into office buildings, or detonate themselves in crowded markets. Congrats on admitting you are part of that crowd.

[RD2191]

You believe you came from a fish, have fun admitting you're part of that crowd. Next.

What a stupid generalization. got.

[RD2191]

If you wanna talk about morals you must first admit that humans are not animals and therefore did not evolve from an ape. Otherwise shut the up.

my dude you still have zero understanding of the theory of evolution

at least when i discuss the bible i can demonstrate that i've read it and understand it

[RD2191]

RG has zero understanding of the bible. That much is clear. And what are you talking about? Evolution tecahes that man evolved from apes. Apes evolved into Neanderthals and various other bipedal human/ape like species. To say evolution teaches that man evolved from ape is not false.

you say "we came from a fish." a fish has never given birth to a human, tbh

lol you've barely read it

[RD2191]

If you go far back enough evolution teaches that fish eventually led to humans.

[spurraider21]

indeed. but it wasn't a short term process that took only a million years or so

its not like you had 100 generations of fish fish fish and BAM suddenly the next generation is lizard

[xmas1997]

lol you've barely read it

at blake adding his two cents worth!
Wooden nickles don't count, blake,
or do you not know what those are?

[xmas1997]

Lol

Why do you even bother to post when this ^ is the most you ever add to any thread?
You truly are useless, you're not even funny except when making a fool of yourself.
And that barely qualifies for comic relief.

I'm not adding anything but lols, dumbass.

Lol wooden nickel trash talk
