Let me make sense of your argument
Hunger exist because of presence of Food, then why are we busy assisting Northern Kenya
Evil exists because of Good deeds; Now Jesus as Christians know him was a very evil man

Now Reggie, maybe it’s just me but off late, your arguments have been getting stranger.

You know,the bible actually invites you to check it out with the scientific method... Test it ,if it fails dismiss it, if not you have to accept it, start at Genesis ...

I dont understand this.
Is this a debate of science Vs God?
Ma inputs are science n God are closely related to one another.
Like doctors believes they are next to God, since they cure alot of the diseases n etc. Ofcourse they also believed the miracles they do is thru God.
I knw alot of scientist who are very religious,this makes this topic to end here, less we are talking on cross-purpose.
Somebody wake me ..may b am dreaming

PeterMauMau,

please provide the verses that say this.

The Bible I know wants us to believe bila an iota of evidence. It encourages us not to question or verify god. It praises those who believe without proof and vilifies people like Thomas who need evidence to believe something. And it makes sense, coz a close scientific test of those stories would provide too many anomalies.

fine. lets agree to disagree there.

you forgot to address this:
....if you take away God, how do would you define an atheist? -one who doesn't believe in....?
really no point in disbelieving in something that doesn't exist.
without God, or at least the belief in Him, even the word atheist wouldn't exist.

SO ATHEISM IS DEPENDENT ON GOD. can't you see that?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hey TM

>I still maintain that without God, you have to believe that'-
>1. Nothing produces everything

'Nothing' does not exist. Can you describe what/where nothing is? the moment you start to describe 'nothing' it becomes 'something', it becomes the thing you are describing and not 'nothing'. Hence nothing which does not exist cannot produce anything.


>2. Non-life produces life

Another word for life is God. And since 'everything' is or the sum of everything is God then even that which appears not to be living is actually .........living. Just because we do not see something acting and behaving like humans or living things does not mean it is 'non-life'
Coral is a typical example.

>3. Randomness produces fine-tuning

that is not an exact science, it is not necessarily true in all cases.

>4. Chaos produces information

What appears to be chaotic has a fine order in the bigger scheme of things. Because we percieve things to be chaotic may not neccessarily mean they are. Perhaps we just haven't come round to understanding that yet. The human being is only just an infant in this world yet look at all these theories and ideologies pretending they have the answer to everything.

>5. unconsciousness produces consciousness

That is an oxymoron. Read the above again and see if it makes sense........it's simply stupid to venture in a debate about this.

>6. Non-reason produces reason

more gobbledygook.......it's like saying.....aw forget it.......


>if you do, then yours is a very blind faith. Ama!

faith is intrinsically blind.....it simply has to be!!!

-the paradigm shifter......God's friend.
