Re: Questions about the Teleological Argument

So their argument is that there is nothing instrinically sacred about life except that people arbitrarily treat it as such. That means that a random person truly means nothing without his society(including himself) to give him worth(worldly kind). No purpose either except the superficial kind.

Re: Christ not the only way to God

So my question is this. I would like to know why you think the Christian God is the only way to God. Please speak from personal experience, and quote from the bible as little as possible. I'm not a biblical scholar and do not want to spend my time researching the pre-translated Aramaic and Latin ve...

Re: Ron Paul

Bless Israel ...God said bless Israel but he didn't say, those who don't bless Israel will be cursed. Yes, God did say that those who curse Israel will be cursed. See Genesis 12:3, ''...I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.'' Before you tell me that God was speaking...

Re: Ron Paul

Blessing Israel goes beyond money. It is the goodwill of the USA towards Israel, the prayers American citizens for Israel, the visits to Israel by US citizens...all these - and more - are blessings. Doubt me? consider this: what American in his right mind wants to visit Syria? or Pakistan? Great po...

Re: When to give up on naturalistic explanations?

But at the very heart of the matter, there is a leap that one has to make. You have this record (that is incomplete) and in a time scale that is inconceivable. Meanwhile, we are working with minuscule changes in ridiculously small amounts of time compared to the record. Just, at the end of the day,...

Re: What goes into heaven?

I guess it is our spirit that actually means anything. Our soul. I am not sure of the difference between spirit and soul but what will be changed is elimination in the finitude of existence as well as transition to peace; but in actuallity these will just kind of come off as byproducts of the more i...

Re: Ron Paul

Israel definitly has right to sovereignty and to defend itself. Ron Paul is not against this, instead he is against foregn aid and too much foreign military involvement. And I think that the Prime Minister of Israel's position on US aid proves that he is not anti Israel actually. "We stand toge...

Re: Ron Paul

Ron Paul believes that Foregn aid takes money away from taxpayers and gives it to the wealthy of other countries. You guys can contend that it does help with defense and it has. But I feel that involvement in the Middle East has gone out of control and leads to a lot of blowback. Is presence in Iraq...

Re: Distributism

Capitalism gives the highest incentive to work hard and be innovative and that is why it has strong power. The opportunity to rise above and be rich is a great motivator and capitolism plays on this very well. Distributism from what I gather is this but also puts limitation on big institutions contr...

Re: Question about "Darwin's tubercle"

Vestigial organs and remnant features are not really evidence for growing complexity but instead for common descent. One of the cornerstones in evolution theory for the more higher order organisms.

Re: Question about "Darwin's tubercle"

Obviously evolutionary biologists love this piece of evidence. Vestigial structures, organs, and DNA are all strong evidence for evolution. I can't speak for creationists, though I really can't personally think of a good rebuttal to vestigial structures and DNA. Wait, what vestigial structures are ...
