I'm off. I've failed to see the first valid argument from Canuckistan's case, so why bother?

It can be assumed that it won't, because it's statistically impossible.

I don't, but again, it's stupid to assume it will. There is a reason it's the longshot.

Time in our universe.

Pope Pius XII declared, at the November 22, 1951, opening meeting of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, that the Big Bang theory does not conflict with the Catholic concept of creation.

Religion is a story made up based on poor observations or deliberate lies made by ancient civilizations, modern con-artists, and religious psychotics that don't mesh well with their parent religions regarding the universe.

Science works with the evidence and extrapolates to the best degree of certainty what is true based upon it.

You giant laser beam perplexingly comprised of various polymers.

Is the big bang considered the start of time in our universe? I didn't think it was, but then, that's not my field.

I've seen dr. Who, which is why I know that there is crap load more to reality than time in our universe.

Theories have evidence. Show me evidence, that doesn't involve the Bible (it could have been written as fiction) or a near death experience (could have been a subconscious putting up what's familiar).

Militant atheists fail to make that distinction, when it comes to religious issues.

But thinking like that would require logic and common sense!

Why should i follow a set of "rules" written in some old book by a hermit 2000 years ago? If there was a list of Hogwarts rules in a Harry Potter book should i randomly follow them to?

You can follow a set of rules, or you cannot follow a set of rules, the choice is yours. But if you're going to mock our religion, you should realize that you might lose our respect. Just like a person posting "let's lower taxes and invade Iran" would lose respect of military historians.

Proof or GTFO.

We're still allowed to advocate Faith on NSG, without GTFoing, last time I checked. Were the rules updated in the past 5 seconds?

Mavorpen wrote:

Soviet Canuckistan wrote:So thou shalt not kill isn't a good guideline for humanity, to respect thy neighbour, to respect creation, how are those not good rules.

"Thou shalt not kill" was broken throughout the whole damn Bible. Jainism and Buddhism hold true to that belief several times better than Christianity. Why should you respect your neighbor for no reason? "Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone" is how it's been for a long time. What "creation" are we respecting?

The original commandment, in the original writings, said: thou shalt not murder. It was later mistranslated as "thou shalt not kill". The translators, they have the capability to make errors, you know that, right?

Genivaria wrote:

Soviet Canuckistan wrote:Where's the proof there, show us some proof.

*cough*hypocrite!*cough*

Religion is based on Faith. Soviet Canuckistan is pointing that out, by requiring atheists to show proof. How does that make him a hypocrite?

You can't prove God. You can't disprove God. Religion is Faith based. Math is number based. History is story based. You don't demand Integral Calculus to be used by Civil War Scholars in filming documentaries, do you? Then why demand that something that's Faith based, be factually proven?
