no-zombie - biological evolution is accepted by the vast majority of Christians. It does not say anything about whether or not god exists. It is only rejected by fundamentalists, most of whom could not begin to explain it.

You have not read even one single book that presents the scientific evidence for evolution have you?
Name just one.
it would take far too long to go through all me or you have studied over the last few decades.
I would have no problem sharing my library list.

Ex-B - you claim to have based your rejection of evolution on a careful consideration of the evidence.
Please share which books that present the evidence FOR biological evolution you have read?

I think it’s very arrogant to be like Cofty and be so sure you have found the truth of the origin of the universe
Where did I ever say that? Are you familiar with the term 'strawman'?
To be rational means to proportion our belief to the available evidence. Some things we can be very certain about.
- The earth is not flat
- The moon is not made of cheese
- Every living thing evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years
Other things we can be fairly sure about but should reserve judgement until more data is available, and many other beliefs are nothing more than personal opinion.
SBF will not even affirm that the earth is not flat. He is a fan French postmodern Marxists like Foucault who feigned radical agnosticism as a political tool when he wasn't raping little boys. Don't be fooled by faux epistemological modesty.
What is arrogant is to wilfully remain ignorant of the facts - you freely admit to having never read a science book in your life - and yet to voice strident opinions on the subject.

ExB - It is a reasonable position to admit that you still lack sufficient information to come to a conclusion on a particular question.
That is very different from choosing 'informed ignorance' (your words).
It is also unreasonable to hold passionate opinions about a scientific question when - by your own admission - you have done absolutely no research.
Cofty did chemistry do it’s thing originally by chance or was it intelligent design?
Please read what I actually wrote. Is it 'chance' when a rock rolls down a hill?

Did you know that abiogenesis comes under chance as the origin of life
Abiogenesis was chemistry doing its thing. It happened incredibly quickly on earth and has probably happened millions of times on similar planets. It was 'chance' in the same way that when a rock rolls down a hill there is an element of chance in where it will end up but we don't resort to intelligent design to explain why it rolled.
The fact that you are so sure you have the truth leads me to believe you are suffering from cognitive dissidence
That's rich. Your OP is an apology for your own CD

Would you really though?
Yes. That isn't theoretical, it is based on hard experience and great personal cost.
Are you prepared to come to terms that you were wrong about what you believe? Cofty have you considered that you have been lied to about the theory of evolution? I know you are comfortable in believing this theory but how can you know it’s the truth?
Evolution is as certain as the fact that the earth isn't flat. I am an expert on all forms of creationism. I know all the creationist arguments and I understand why they are false. Creationists only ever know their side of the debate and what they have been told about science by other creationists. I have invested hundreds of hours to investigate evolution. It is beyond all sensible doubt. it is only ever rejected on grounds of ideology. Most scientists give as much time to creationist objections as astronomers do to flat earthers. It just isn't an actual question unless you are indoctrinated by Iron Age myths.
what if you believed chance as origin of life for a long time then came to realise actually it must have been intelligent design as the origin of life?
The origin of life is neither chance nor ID. That is a false dichotomy. Also abiogenesis is not the same thing as evolution.
would you then wish you could go back and not know what you now know?
I have never regretted learning new things. Follow the evidence wherever it leads. Anything else is intellectual cowardice.

I find it interesting that after the cult people still hold on to religion....
by BeaverEater inim not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.
while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.
lol.
