Not all believers in a creator are dumb, may be deaf, so accomplished atheist explain this:--

Captain Obvious

But WHY? If owl done concedes to your idea of a benefactor, how long till you're trying to steer that person towards the god of the bible?

Besides... The oxygen/carbon ratios have changed many times through history. Just because our air is food for us now doesn't mean if air was a bit different, we couldn't have evolved to breathe that air perfectly. How things fit together is not evidence of any creator, just of our evolution working properly. Evolution didn't need someone to help it start, because by its very nature it makes things work out or die.

In summary, your question is pointless. Good try, keep thinking and searching. The truth is right under your nose

Well said, jgnat. The title and OP of this thread, as well as every post by the OP have been dripping with arrogance.. The worst kind of arrogance. I'm glad the OP didn't retreat into the realm of "warm fuzzy feelings" or "Christ this and that." He outright challenged a very established and proven scientific system saying we need to "get current" and read this silly book written by a fool. It is full of the same garbage pseudo science creationist books have always had. Not a single rational argument among them. So far, I don't see the scientific community in an uproar, rewriting textbooks and throwing away decades worth of research all because of under qualified preacher wrote a book.

The OP then goes on to ignore all of the well written rebuttals to his nonsense, and cut and paste more of this garbage. You see, this thread would have been a big eye opener for me when I was waking up. Even if it didn't make me disbelieve the bible, it would have made me dig deeper to find the truth. It is for this reason that anyone posts on this thread still at all.

What is new about the Candace Conti trial

by smiddy in

whats new in the latest developments.

smiddy.

Captain Obvious

Regardless of whether its from donations or the $800+ million proceeds from sales of Brooklyn property, it is still a win. If Candace were to donate a portion to SNAP, it would be a very valuable investment. Let's not forget that she deserves every nickel she gets. Hopefully she can invest it wisely and she and her family can benefit from it for decades or more.

Bla bla bla bla.

Hey QC, once Adam's wrong free will choice is corrected, what happens the next time someone willingly (not out of ignorance like Adam's sin was.. He was set up to fail according to Genesis) sins? Let's look into the future shall we? I am a perfect, blameless man freed from sin by Jesus. (I'll assume that we'll still have men making up rules for us to follow) I decide to sin privately... Later that night my wife and I fool around (as we often do) and she gets preggers.

Regardless of whether I am forgiven or not, is sin passed on to my child? Am I to be destroyed, devastating my wife and child? I know this is OT, but I'm curious how the hard headed believer like yourself works these things out... Considering you have no issues making up all sorts of excuses for your god.

A baby to be sacrificed on the alter of Jehovah thwarted by New Zealands High Court.

by smiddy in

the herald sun newspaper article titled "jehovahs baby rule " "a sick babyis under the guardianship of new zealand`s high court so she can receive life-saving blood transfusions.......she could develop life-threatening complications without a transfusion.. to be fair the article also states "she has been given a 90 per cent survival rate with treatment,but is likely to need a blood transfusion-which her parents will not allow as they are jehovah`s witnesses.. my observations /concerns are this : jehovah`s witnesses refuse blood transfusions.a baptised jw who takes a blood transfusion can/will be disfellowshiped for not abiding by jw`s doctrine.going against gb policy direction is causing division.. jehovah`s witnesses do not beleive in donating blood to a blood bank even if it is theirs for their own private exclusive use .. official teaching on blood by jehovah`s witnesses is, it is not to be stored, it is to be poured out on the ground.it is not to be used for any purpose.. jehovah`s witnesses will not use blood and bone in their gardens,they will not eat blood sausage,and a married couple will certainly not engage in sexual activity when the wife is menstruating.. the dilemma/inconsistencys :why is it only a conscience matter, no penaltys applied for anyone to accept every fraction of blood that is donated by other people.?

they will use blood that is donated by other people , processed in a laboratory into various fractions and injected into their own bodies , and they dont see a problem with this hypocricy ?

double standards ?.

Good. I hope the little girl grows up into a beautiful, intelligent apostate.

climate change is a legitimate concern - especially as it affects poor nations.

however, the subject has been twisted by greedy global elites resulting in disappointments (if you wish to call them that!

So, mp? Is banning SUVs necessary to cure climate change?

Why would they mention the 'old light'?

by Captain Blithering in

i don't get why they opened the article 'when will these things be' by using old old light not believed since the late 60's?

.

seems a bit idiotic to draw attention to past mistakes that are long forgotten in the minds of the r&f, as opposed to stuff that is fairly recent that has warranted 're-examination'.

Captain Obvious

Its to appear forthcoming and honest. Only apostates would know better, so it's a good play on their part.

Ask most JWs if the Borg has been honest in admitting their mistakes, every one will tell you it has.

WHy Have You Turned YOur Back On The Messiah

by cassuk11 in

ok so you got out of the watchtower society after discerning it was false.

what is amazing is how many have turned their back on the king or was it they had no faith in the first place and the spiritual food they received did not help them stand upon a rock.

jesus the christ your saviour is a living breathing being with emotions.

Captain Obvious

Well I wanted to get to know the king, but he failed to leave any information about himself that wasn't incoherent or self-contradicting. What's more, he has decided to kick back and chill, leaving us humans to take care of things ourselves... Which we have done far better than he ever did. So as far as I am concerned, if he's too weak to do anything meaningful for us or leave us some information that isn't full of bullshit (bible) then he doesn't deserve my worship.

Evolution is Crap, there I said it!

ok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.

the theory of major evolution is crap!

the theory is falling apart.

Captain Obvious

Vanderhoven7 - how nice of god to take a break from his busy job of infecting poor people with AIDS to heal your daughter's sore back! Too bad he can't find the time to do anything actually meaningful.
