  Bad Apple (from Touhou)

  this may not be new to some of you, but i am really loving the latest touhou video meme, which bases itself off of the original 8-bit theme for stage 3 of "lotus land story".

  the past touhou memes have been so epic, like the un owen was her/mcroll'd one from 2007 and 2008, and the whole cirno stuff (baka baka baka) last year, but i'm so impressed by what has come out of niconico douga since november surrounding the "bad apple" song.

  just blows me away.. the original video game music from 1998:.

  6-bit? I prefer the 7.5-bit rendition.

  Would miracles cure atheism?

  do they compel belief in the supernatural?.

  It is quite difficult to think of a "miracle" that could not possibly be explained by natural causes. A sufficiently advanced civilization would appear to us as having "magical" abilities.

  Some events may never be explainable. This is especially true with events we cannot reproduce in a controlled fashion. Sometimes as good as we can do is "I don't know."

  How To Construct a Creationist/Theistic Argument

  how to construct a creationist/theistic argument - by ben spencer.

  step 1. come up with a supposed self-apparent, universal, unbreakable, and yet ultimately unprovable "law".. for example:.

  all effects require a cause.

  Yep.

  A lot of creationists don't seem to get how it's logically unsound to magically excluded God from the very rules they try to impose on science... usually by stating nonsensical things like "God is outside of our space and time and is therefore not bound to it." To them it is perfectly reasonable to make such a claim, even though they have no supporting empirical evidence at all.

  It's a perfect example of the special pleading logical fallacy.

  Good books against evolution?

  by bohm in

  after reading 'the greatest show on earth' by dawkins, i have been intrigued by how biblical literalists explain the many findings that seem to support evolution and contradict various parts of the bible.

  in doing to i have browsed around on aig but i have generally felt let down by the quality of evidence and interpretations they present.

  so i would like to ask all non-evolutionists: if i wanted to learn more about the physical case against evolution, what books should i read?

  I've heard of other more recent books that have been written that supposedly do a more respectable job of making a "case" (LOL) for intelligent design.

  You mean like Lee Strobel's Case for a Creator? Don't waste your time. I read that book because a Christian coworker bought it for me and challenged me to read it. It was dreadful.

  I just find it interesting that (taking out the sun/stars part) the order is pretty close to what evolution predicts and has been verified by evidence.

  But even dismissing the sun/moon/stars, the order of living things is out of whack too. About the only things it gets right is that birds came after fish, and man came last. Everything else is out of sequence.

  What I find interesting is that the order that the creation of life is mentioned in genesis is in general agreement with the order that fossils have shown and evolution predicts.

  Are you sure about that? Looks all out of whack to me.

  Bible order:

  1. Earth
  2. Light, then Day/Night Cycle (but no sun, moon, stars? wtf)
  3. Atmosphere
  4. Dry Land
  5. Vegetation, Seeds, Flowering plants (before the sun?)
  6. Sun/Moon/Stars
  7. Fish
  8. Birds
  9. Mammals (Land animals)
  10. Man

  Real order:

  1. Stars
  2. Sun
  3. Earth
  4. Moon
  5. Fish
  6. Land plants
  7. Insects
  8. Seeds
  9. Mammals
  10. Birds
  11. Flowers
  12. Man

  That's not a problem but an asset, and unless you have read it cover-to-cover you should keep your opinion to yourself.

  Wow.

  According to Coulter, all liberals are atheists and all atheists are liberals.
