Re: RE

One should not base an analyses of the success of a movie on its Christian sub-message alone, there are hundreds of other factors to consider, 2 of them being: I didn't base my analyses on the Christian sub-message alone, quit trying to build straw men. The movie got very little promotion in the ma...

You bash Narnia presupposing the existence of God. How smart of you. What is wrong with all the things you found wrong in it? Nothing in your worldview. And what racial intolerance? My dang, a canadian coughed this up in a news article...and you're just repeating it? Just ignore him, it is quite ob...

Richard Dawkins: Dangerous idea

Dawkins displays his "sciencism" religion for all to see. But doesn't a truly scientific, mechanistic view of the nervous system make nonsense of the very idea of responsibility , whether diminished or not? Any crime, however heinous, is in principle to be blamed on antecedent conditions a...

Re: Tool

does anyone like them? Im am quite fond of their music, though I absolutely dont share the same beliefs as them.... Beeing that I play drums in real life, I am a fan of Danny Carey's drumming on the Tool albums, but I kind of ignore or "block out" the lyrics when I listen to them. Danny i...

You're right it is bias, but because observations can be skewed by the one who is doing the observing it is best to try to observe as through the eyes of a baby. You are right, observations can be skewed by the one who is doing the observing, especially when you rule things out a priori without hav...

Science is a collaborative effort to describe the natural world. Bias of any kind is not favorable to this effort. If a bias of any kind is not favorable to this effort, why does science exclude the supernatural a priori? Sorry, but methodological naturalism IS a bias. It is a metaphysical assumpti...

Re: What the [poop]?

Hey, I have someone who barely knows what he's talking about (NO NOT ME) talking about a guy named Fox and protocells-what the heck is that? I've googled it, but not much space is given to protocells... Are you debating with someone outside this forum or something? I am just wondering what the purp...

Interesting though... For the people who have responded and know, what are some artists lately that would closely resemble Petra?

Neal Morse's solo material and his work with Spock's Beard. And as far as guitar playing goes, they don't come any better Phil Keaggy! And another Christian fusion artist I like is Scott Jones. He is an extremely talented multi-instrumentalist and composer and it is a shame he doesn't get more mains...

Let us say that when determining that something cannot be explained with current theories. There is a lost step in stating that something is designed, this presumes a designer. This explanation requires proof of a designer. .... How? Irreducible is not objective, just as beautiful is not objective....

What is irreducible complexity, it is not an observation. The observation is complexity the conclusion is that it is irreducible. This "fact" that it is irreducible is separate from the observations. It is indeed not an observation in itself. I think you misunderstood what IC means. Think...
