Why Does The Answer Matter?

[goodlife]

If we really are the product of evolution and there is no Creator, the human race would, in a sense, be an orphan.

Mankind would have no source of superior wisdom to consult—no one to help us solve our problems. We would have to rely on human wisdom to avert environmental disaster,

Does not the events in the world prove that.

Would I prefer that you walked past my door and didn't knock ?

Yes please !

[Khandro]

jomifl; I reach this assumption based on your many refutations on many topics of anything lacking a scientific explanation (not unlike 'Desperate' Dawkins).
Are you now saying that you believe the universe in which we dwell may not be totally explainable by scientific investigation?

[mikey4444]

The Grand Canyon question....it always catches theists out fender !

I use it every time.

[mikey4444]

Fender...my own personal opinion is that its a combination of both.

Most educated people wouldn't be taken in and brain-washed very easily.

However, if you were a little bit lacking in intelligence in the first place, than the brain-washing that leads to a belief that the GC was created 6000 years, is so much easier.

That is what faith is all about I suppose...the complete rejection of logic and rational.

I haven't joined in the AB recently because because it is futile goodlife .
It is futile because the fundamental question of God's existence has never been proved. Which makes every book holy or otherwise totally irrelevant .
Even the opening line of Genesis ' In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth . ' is a lie . Firstly the concept of a true beginning would have been Before your imaginary God was even conceived. Secondly , as has been asked before if your God had ever existed who/what created it ? and who created it ? etc etc . We don't know ! But what we do know all our senses SEEING , HEARING ,t

[jomifl]

Khandro, given the limitations of the human intellect and the presumed infinity(?) of the universe then I think it reasonable to assume that mankind will never be able to explain the entirety of the universe....but we can at least try..and in doing so perhaps improve our lot.

[modeller]

cont, SEEING , HEARING , TOUCHING ,SMELLING ,TASTING tell us he doesn't exist along with the bible's other imaginary entities.

[modeller]

" and in doing so perhaps improve our lot." That says it all ' perhaps " .
History does not support your 'perhaps'.

Do you know the saying about digging a hole goodlife? look it up sometime.
\\ You poor poor man!! You wonder why you don't get an answer! If you do stupid things like coming to the door naked, or saying you are disfellowshipped, no one in their right mind would want to talk to you. //
You then say that doesn't put you off, so are you not in your right mind?

[DTCwordfan]

Standing before you, Mikey, the pseudo-Welsh one
Jehovah, God of goodlie's forefathers
The one who thought he chose modeller
The least of Khandro’s sons.
Standing before you oh awesome God.
Mikey, naked like an infant knowing nothing;
He trembles in fear of New Judge's judgments.

What can we open our mouths to say?
What can we ask for?
That you, Ed, already didn’t know?

Naomi's sins haunts her like Mamya's ghosts.
The affairs of these evil days
Are decorating her neck
Like a leash on the neck of a ratter dog.

But when mikey stands before you, Lord think,
He's naked and definitely not cute.
For only you can show him tenderness and mercy
To the Welsh sheep;
Only you can save the fatherless (who?).

Let your kind mercy
Consume goodlife's short comings.
Let your mighty strength
Redeem him from his copy and paste hands.
Let the seeds of Lie-In King flourish
and bite him, ever so gory.

When fender stands before you Lord
He's not mute but his soul is definitely not.
It groans deeply for Ed's tender mercy
And in mikey's nakedness
And helplessness
goodlife returns to you our Editor Father
Asking for copyright and authorship triumph.
And he ain't going to get that around here
with our confirmed aetheist sphere.

[goodlife]

As I said time will tell, your all a dead loss.

[Khandro]

jomifl; // I think it reasonable to assume that mankind will never be able to explain the entirety of the universe....//
Indeed! and in which case, would you concede that a 'higher power/ supreme being/or a God' should not be ruled out?
It could take on the mantel of many forms of course, for example, to you it might look like a monkey, but to me it might be more like a frog. :0)

[jomifl]

definitely not a frog...
