God did not create the universe, says Hawking

[mouse]

You are fixated on the idea that Evolution is a religion. There are more books about it than just what Darwin wrote.

Just as there are many more books on how to make Texas chili that doesn't mean they are not called cook books.

Anybody can write a book.

I agree.







Evolution is not dependent on one book. It has been expanded upon. It has been observed.

And what are the findings?

It's only a flaw if you equate stories about magic with scientific theories based on evidence.

Kinda like the oort cloud? Talk about magic... A made up place a thousand times farther from the Sun than the Kuiper belt, lies the hypothesized (but never observed) place where comets are born,

You guys crack me up.

Charles Darwin is not a god.

Tell that to his followers.

On the Origin of Species is not the Bible.

But it doesn't matter. You want to believe that Evolution is a religion, so you will keep repeating the same thing over and over again.

If I think and feel a certain way why would I change my stance on something?

you want me to keep changing my views so you can say I am flaky and all over the place? You have something against be consistent?

You don't care about facts, mouse.

Are you saying you can prove Evolution, did you locate the missing link?

Why would you keep such findings to yourself?

There are things you want to believe no matter what.

One being the lies that don't need to be in the school text books.

Godsmack!

Just as there are many more books on how to make Texas chili that doesn't mean they are not called cook books.

But a book on Texas chili is grounded in reality, while a book on magic floods and people rising from the dead is not. On The Origin of Species was written after empirical observations were done. Furthermore, there have been discoveries that support evolution. There have been no discoveries that support the existence of any gods.

And what are the findings?

If you want to learn more about evolution, take your pick.

What do you mean by "you guys"? And what does that have to do with the discussion at hand?

Oh, so supporting somebody is equal to making them into a God?

Do you know who the author of that book is?

Did you even read the summary of the book?

How can somebody fail so hard? Damn, the url to the image use posted is pulltheplugonatheism.com



So... much... fail...

I want you to admit that you are wrong. If I make a mistake, I'll admit it. You, on the other hand, will repeat the same thing over and over again.

Are you saying you can prove Evolution, did you locate the missing link?

Humans aren't the only ones who evolved from something else, bro.

Why would you keep such findings to yourself?

What findings? Evolution is a fact.

Here's a list of transitional fossils. Sure, you can actually take five seconds to look these kinds of things up, but why would you do that? You have to be consistent, right?

Good, I see that you don't want Intelligent Design taught in schools either.

I really hope mouse doesn't believe this stuff. Either he has been trolling hard or he really is this big of an idiot.

Oh, but I won't stop you from equating belief in evolution with atheism. Yeah, because a theory on how species came into being is the same with the belief that there is no God.

But keep saying that they are the same thing. Nobody wants you to be inconsistent.

I wasn't even in this argument you dumb .

I spend my time arguing more worthwhile subjects, like who's a bigger JWoww or Sammi

So, you aren't even in the argument, yet you feel it necessary to shut it down, in the equivalent of blasting an airhorn near a group of people having a conversation?

Are you always this big a bag, or do you scale back sometimes?

All of these statements require ignorance of the scientific method and how science is done to seem reasonable.

Missing data does not, in and of itself, tend to discredit a theory.

I have a theory that you are a hetrosexual. Does the fact that I have never met a woman you have dated, or attempted to date, prove you are sexual?

If we are to use the same logic that you presented above, the answer would then be yes, you are a sexual.

Since I know that this is illogical, however, I can set this aside, and conclude, based on your past statements that you are not.

The power of a theory it its ability to reasonably explain observed phenomena.

There are mountains of physical evidence and observed phenomena that indicate the theory of evolution as factual.

If it is not, then the question then becomes, "why did God create the world in such a way as to make it look like evolution is factual?" Is God trying to play a trick on us? Why?

Don't blame mouse for trying to be consistent.

Why learn anything when one can just state the same thing over and over again?

I've seen that quite a bit in this and all God/religion threads. I know I am guilty of it.
example: "You cannot prove that God does not exist"
"The proof falls on the one making such statement"
"You cannot prove the Spaghetti Monster doesn't exist"
yada, yada yada
