I think it about a year since I first stumbled on to Answerbank, and began the Creation / Evolution circular argumentative debate. So, first things first. Where did all of this, "STUFF," come from, if it wasn't created by God? Once we get to the tadpole stage, (Your ancestor was a tadpole?), then we fly off into biochemostry and the like ... but go back a little, where did the slime ball come from that atheists claim to be our ultimate Granddaddy? Even the slime ball had to have a cause, yes?
Three stars for being up early!
God created Man. I think the slime balls evolved from that, just look at recent headline murders, including Rhys Jones in Liverpool to back that up!
Corby - You are right of course. I believew God created Man. The slime is the vernacular for the likes of the, well, erm, "slime," that shot young Rhys Jones in Liverpool. *
I realised you were talking about a different usage of the term "slime ball" but in yir original post you wrote, "Where did the slime ball come from that atheists claim to be our ultimate Granddaddy? Even the slime ball had to have a cause." You appear to be agreeing to the origin of Man as being the result of the initial "slime" and yet saying that God created Man. I am asking why bother wi the first stages, why not begin wi Man?
Check your bible, Theland. Your god first created fowls, whales, every living creature, cattle and again every living creature before he thought of man.
Do you really want to start again this business of neither of us knowing how the universe came about, but with you putting it down to your God, which explains nothing at all?
If so, wearily I will start again...
Sorry, but science has to win, I'm not saying there is no God (as i'm not qualified to say that) but if there was He would have created the scientist to be able to explain the worlds begining!
I hate to have to say this, but some people are still tadpoles. No cure I'm afraid - not even evolution - nor, it would seem, your biblical god since, despite his promises, he hasn't come up with a solution to the problems of this mad world we inhabit.
And of course we could go back to the very beginning and repeat that same old cherry - who or what created god? Was there ever a time when there was absolutely nothing?
It would appear God lied when he named his forbidden tree the �tree of knowledge�. Given you dissatisfaction with the real answers science has so far been able to uncover why do you persist in 'seeking more'? With out a method for discovering the actual nature of reality, all else is hearsay. My perception of your method of determining truth is that what is not hearsay, (based of supposed interpretations of 'The Good Book�), is heresy.
