Re: New Poster Asking Why God Created Hell
Kenny: So I guess the question would be; why did God create the lake of fire? Why not just let those who don't want to be with God just be separated from him? The Biblical answer is, because God isn't only a loving God that forgives - He's also a just God whom also punishes and holds people account...

Re: New Poster Asking Why God Created Hell
Hell is the current prison that will be cast into the lake of fire, yes, and the lake of fire will be worse than hell. I think most people think of the lake of fire as Hell. So I guess the question would be; why did God create the lake of fire? Why not just let those who don't want to be with God j...

Re: Who Knows
We often tend to negate our feelings as byproducts of the human condition, so as not to be trusted. Just because we may feel a certain way, fervently so, it could be folly and hold no basis in truth. That accounts across the board, in many differing areas. We can’t really rely merely on intellect a...

Re: Atheist question
That explains nothing. Do you know the origin(s) of information? I looked up the definition of "information" from online dictionary, it basically said (paraphrasing) information is knowledge about things that are real. If information is knowledge, that would mean the origin of information are the i...

Re: Atheist question
Where did the information come from? We know where energy, in it's many forms, comes from, but information? There is information about everything that has a physical existence; it is a part of what ever it is that exists. That explains nothing. Do you know the origin(s) of information? I looked up ...

Re: Atheist question
Information is like energy ? Do the information in your cells, in your DNA is like energy? How so? There is energy all around us. Man can make a solar panel and use it to convert that energy into electricity and use that electricity for personal gain. There is information in our cells and DNA. Man ...

Re: Atheist question
Kenny, Do you know of any case of information or data coming into existence from nothing? I see information like energy; it's all around us but it requires an intelligent person to extract it for usage. Information is like energy ? Do the information in your cells, in your DNA is like energy? How s...

Re: Atheist question
I believe that the the laws of physics function the same everywhere in the universe. The data from Hubble supports that premise... and the Big Bang theory also demonstrates that the "laws of science" are constant everywhere in the universe. Not when it comes to Dark Matter. The simple fact that sci...

Re: Atheist question
Which brings us back to the point I was making... All of the phenomena that you mention are governed by structured, ordered, and extremely complex "laws of nature". The Big Bang theory tells us when these structured, ordered, and extremely complex "laws of nature" began to function in our universe....

Re: Atheist question
Ken: Personally I find it absurd to assume that just because we see order and structure as a human construct on Earth, that it has to be for the entire Universe. As far as our argument about what is possible without an intelligence, the systems, laws, biological life, and huge list of things of imm...

Re: Atheist question
So if human intelligence is required for the existence of ordered, complex, structured data such as a novel or a computer program, would you agree that intelligence of some sort is also required for the existence of ordered, structured data that is more complex and intricate than a novel or compute...

Can a mathematical algorithm exist without intelligence? Can a scientific theory exist without intelligence? If by intelligence you mean peopl...
