Of course it's voluntary. Going to the meetings is voluntary. Going on the ministry is voluntary. Being a witness is voluntary. i chose not to do any of that.

Why I'm not agnostic
by Coded Logic ini think the time to be agnostic is when you have evidence on both sides of a claim.
for example, i'm agnostic about the existence of a historical jesus.
i think a reasonable case can be made that jesus was a man who was turned into a legend over a period of a couple of decades.

It's a guided process in a lab - who knows what the conditions were back then.
I tend to try to be evidence driven without trying to fill in the gaps to match any preconceptions I may or may not have.
I have an open mind and can admit that it's possible that it was guided at the beginning. I think that solution raises a lot more questions than it answers though.
With that in mind I tend to fall on the side of a spontaneous initiation of life. Ok, it might be improbable but so is winning the lottery, yet someone wins it every week.

The point I'm trying to make is that science is not stationary - there may come a time when new theories make more sense to you and you can accept them as valid.
If that happens will you accept it and what effect will that have on your deism?

But scientific advancement is sure of the process.
Apparently not as you still think it needs to guided. ;)

Why are you convinced the formation of amino acids was an unguided process?
I'm not. I'm comfortable being not quite sure how it happened. That doesn't mean I'll immediately give credit to a deity for the things scientific advancement isn't yet sure of. -

A question on natural selection
by The Rebel inlast friday my boy of ten was very late back from school, so i called the school, they called the police, and to cut a long horrible exsperience short he had been helping a younger boy fly his kite.. but what has occurred to me is that when orlando was 5 years old he was totally dependent on mummy and daddy, whilst horses, cats, birds and other animals are born and are independent within days.. so my question on natural selection is, how are we humuns still here?.
the rebel..

Not all animals are independent within days - some take years to become independent. -

Kate - regardless of beliefs you've made the fundamental mistake of ascribing things you don't understand to a god.
People in times past used to do that as well when they didn't understand tides, or the earth's orbit etc.
edit - when I say 'you' I mean 'we'

Evolution and Atheism - please help
by Fernando innot being familiar with either, my question is:.
what is the relationship between evolution and atheism?.
i'd love to hear from anyone and everyone, and also from any perspective.. without limiting the conversation in any way, i would of course also appreciate comments that are simple, clear, direct and correct (as i don't have the capacity to do a phd in evolution or atheism)..
-

Landy
There's no direct relation.
It's just that if you accept evolution as having happened the way current scientific consensus says it has then it makes God redundant.
