faith gives you permission to believe that jesus actually did feed thousands with a few loaves & fishes, walk on water and rise from the grave.
all the evidence proves that none of this happened so why persist with faith?
why be dishonest with yourself?
Rather, the critisim of your initial statement was that you were transposing the meaning of "faith" from: believing things without evidence - to: trust.
It means both. I would suggest knowing what you are talking about before declaring someone else wrong. You're still coming across as a know-it-all jackass. That would be fine except you often don't know what you are talking about, kinda like the religious people you criticize.
for those who havent encountered it before, the kalam cosmological argument is a proof of gods existence and goes as follows:.
) anything that begins to exist has a cause..
) the universe began to exist.. c.) therefore the universe has a cause.. .
Or, you could have just searched and found any of the hundreds of threads on this exact subject. Energy may not be created or destroyed, but it can be wasted (also, that's not what the First Law of Thermodynamics says).

SPIRITUALITY without religions.
What, specifically, is spirituallity?
according to plato, the universe thrives on its own, dies and gets rebornall on its own and within itself.
the wise symbolized this concept in ouroboros, a serpent eating its own tail.
[even more wonderful is the marvel called a fruit-bearing treeit does not even eat its own fruit, but simply subsists on mostly what we may consider as dirt/refuse; and trees collectively perform yet another marvel of photosynthesis that make use of our wastes and give us oxygen, food, water, shelter, fiber..........................................[http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/20/opinion/to-save-the-planet-dont-plant-trees.html?_r=0].
Neither. I believe in God, the Creator (when He did creating matters not) who does not intervene in the affairs of mankind.
He cannot logically have created mankind and at the sametime have not intervened in the affairs of mankind.
Which is it? You don't get it both ways.
my question is since it looks as though mammoths were alive after the flood and we know elephants are then how much food was needed to feed just these four animals for the time they were on the ark.
also was the ark, 500 feet long, big enough to hold the amount of food needed for just these 4 animals.. .

Prologos, still waiting for you to back up your claims.
i am thinking of turning my house in to a ex-jw meeting place, getting bar, pool tables, ping-pong, foseball, pinball and kegs of beer on tap.
big screen singles pad for the local ex-jws to visit and hang out.
will this bug all the jws who live near by me, do they get weird around known apostates?.
So, you're plan is to be a jerk to bother the people around you and you're asking if it will bother people around you? Well, that depends entirely on whether or not you're good at being a jerk.

I too believe Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
Why?

Yet here things could have been bit different. It seems those who disagreed did not read the post.
Ignorance wrapped in arrogance, pretending to know what others did and did not do. Why is it those that have the humility and secret knowledge act, when you scratch the surface, are ALWAYS the least informed and most arrogant?
Unfortunately, no one has commented on the essence of the posting!
Many, including myself, did. That's the "facile drivel" part.

Thing is, if energy cannot be created or destroyed then how did all that energy get here in the first place?
Excellent question. The universe appears to have a net sum of zero energy.

Those touting laws of physics should also consider the law of entropy and the law of cause and effect.
Reduced down, you said those touting the laws of physics should also consider the laws of physics.
Not a very good start to the drivel.
