HamaticBabylon: is your signature "Religion & Science are the same" sarcastic or do you actually think that is true?

This also proves God is hosted by Tripod![]()
OK you have got me there. I am convinced. Tripod does exist.Drunk Master said:You don't see the pictures?![]()
That must must be an act of the Lord Almighty, how much signes does he have to give untill these athiest covert themselves![]()
Hmm... I don't know if you get what I'm saying, or if I get what you're saying (probably the second one...). To coin a phrase, what I'm saying is that the creation of the Universe is like the chicken and the egg paradox, whereas most people see it as a (in)finite chain of events that go back and back until they reach THE beginning, perhaps God, perhaps something else.Free Enterprise said:This is an infinite regress of events which is incoherent and unintelligible. It is incoherent because of the fact that every event keeps being said to have a cause and it keeps getting pushed back thus never solving the problem of how the casual chain started in the first place. It is unintelligible because humans would be unable to comprehend the workings of such a infinitely regressing chain. When was an incoherent concept ever a true concept? It sounds somewhat reminiscent of making an exception to a generally accepted rule in one (possible multiple) case(s).
Do you have any support for that statement or are you just speculating?kulade said:2. Scentists can kepp looking, but the only answer is a being on a higher dimension, a powerful force.
Indeed, all arguements for or against god are philosophical. Of course, science has a major impact on how we philosophically understand things.stormbind said:There is no Science vs Religion, except among those who are close minded.
Sure people can, it's called false evidence and failures of logic. I suppose there is anecdotal evidence, and some philosophical arguements, but scientific evidence.kulade said:1. If God had no exidence WOW! no one would believe in him.
True, but analyzing the patterns in DNA and showing its relations match those in the fossil record, as well as homologies, and vestigial organs provides evidence for the case. Of course, evolution isn't the topic here, god is!kulade said:2. Looking at DNA means you have DNA, it doesn't mean your great great granddad was a chimp.
Hmm, just out of curiosity, what scientific books have you been reading?kulade said:2. i read scientific books as much as the Bible.
Why must a higher power dictate what is right or wrong? Can't humanity decide what it is right and wrong?kulade said:2. With no God there is no right and wrong
First of yes, I agree there are smart religionists, just because I feel they are wrong doesn't meant I don't think they are intelligent. I find Stormbind to be one of the more intelligent posters here, yet I have disagreements. Second, not many religionists believe in evolution, evolution is not on trial here, the issue is God not evolution!kulade said:3. I would like to piont out that not all religionist are stupid! WOW! We graduate from colledge, become teachers, read science books! NO WAY! Hard to believe, isn't it? We dont deny science. We just see there (1) no enogh prove in evolution, (2) no way we can exist w/o a god and (3) personally know God exists.
You don't have to announce it, you've already made your objections clear!kulade said:I quit this thread too.
If you think I'm a fool, than why did you bother posting a response?Ballazic said:No way buddy. A fool (or fools) have no reason and are a waste of time to debate with.
The fact that some scientists made the fallacy of mixing science and religion doesn't mean they are inherently hand in hand. Go ahead an look at the works of modern science and you'll be unlikely to see many religious interpretations!HamaticBabylon said:Science and religion go hand in hand. If you don't believe me go and look at the works of gravity and plant biology.
The difference is the creator would be a nonsentient set of rules instead of an omnipotent being.HamaticBabylon said:So this natural order exist and governs these laws of nature by it self? But is that not like saying the creator existing since these laws obey the master being?
Gravity and DNA replication are fully consistant with the laws of entropy. Both processes produce more chaos than order.HamaticBabylon said:I don't understand why you are laughing. When I said gravity I meant that laws governing the forces working in nature, and those laws work in order not pandemonium, also they do not change their natural state when you find them. You can manipulate these laws but never can you evolve them!
DAMN!!! Well, I guess I'll go join the local mosque!Drunk Master said:I will once and for all prove Allah/God exist...*drum beat comes up*
cgannon64 said:Does anyone here actually think and actively try to prove God exists?
I stand by what I said. Some issues presented here are answered very well in that article.CivCube said:Religion is being attacked here, not necessarily God.
If he didn't want to be proven to exist, why did he allegedly send his son to Earth to die for humanity's sins? Why did he do all those fabulous things described in the Bible? Why did he even have the bible made, if he didn't want any proof of his existance to be possible? Sounds like a wacky way to disprove yourself.John HSOG said:If God does not want to be proven to exist, and I believe that he does not, then how is one to prove that he exists?
Then it's all up to personal opinion if he does exist.John HSOG said:If God does not want to be proven to exist, and I believe that he does not, then how is one to prove that he exists?
