Re: participate at Atheist Forums

I give up on the first argument, I'm no longer going to repeat myself
You have indeed been repeating yourself but repeating something doesn't make it anymore true.

Re: participate at Atheist Forums

Actually, if I were to say it more eloquently in personal context, Atheism is a function of arrogance and a hate for God.

Re: participate at Atheist Forums

godslanguage said Yes, but Gman had a choice. He was free to choose. Was Richard Dawkins not free to choose? You are saying that Gman had no choice, is that correct? He wasn't free to choose what religion he grew up with, however minimal it may have been, as I say it is no coincidence he chose the ...

Re: participate at Atheist Forums

Gman said No... My story is like many families.. You said that there was a 99% chance that the children would also turn Christian, you are incorrect. Again, even I rejected Christianity. I was actually influenced by it from a friend in my 20's. Not my parents, who eventually turned away from it too...

Re: participate at Atheist Forums

another god of the gaps statement with 'primordial soup' if we can't explain it present day science, then yes God done it. But thats exactly what most atheists cling too. So atheists don't cling to the primordial soup hypothesis but cling to something else unknown. You don't know then how life star...

Re: participate at Atheist Forums

Sound far fetched? well its supposed to as I said it was my turn to post something ridicolous. Yes it does! No atheism is about living your life to the full, we all only get one shot, and thats what makes it all the more precious. So what exactly does it mean from an atheistic POV to life your life...

Re: participate at Atheist Forums

I don't have a cause, and being an atheist doesn't require faith just reason And as for the First amendment I'm Irish and its definitely not considered by our constitution to be a religion, so I guess we're both right being from opposite sides of the pond, on that count. It seems to require much mo...

Re: participate at Atheist Forums

If your parents had taught you hinduism, and you did not follow it at a young age, but were then free to choose a religion in your 20s then I am 99.9% sure you would pick Hinduism. The same could go for any other religion. The Fact is you were exposed to it at a young age which left an impression o...

Re: participate at Atheist Forums

Elshamah, To be quite frank, you will not get anywhere with those types of forums. Atheists who label themselves as such (with big red "A") and post on forums are usually the dogmatic types who make their non-belief in a God a religion (on average you won't find atheists who really care). ...

Re: Bacterial Flagellum not irreducibly complex?

How so? Does that mean our use of a base 10 system is far more complex than binary? Why do programmers and computer engineers use base 8 or 16 (aka "octal" or "hexadecimal") rather than binary? First off, you are missing the ENTIRE point, but here is "why" anyways: For...

Re: Bacterial Flagellum not irreducibly complex?

Thanks, that was very helpful. And I see you're up early too on a Sunday morning (well I don't know where you are but where I'm at it's 5:00 a.m.). P.S. I love your computer/software analogies, they make so much sense to me. Of course it helps that I'm an analyst myself (for a 100 years). Hi and th...

Re: Bacterial Flagellum not irreducibly complex?

I missed this base 2/4 point entirely. Could you or someone else expand on it a little? Hi Byblos, My point is simple. *biological systems are information bearing and processing systems *life needs discrete values or symbolic logic (DNA uses base 4, a, c, g, t) to give meaning to function before fu...

Re: Bacterial Flagellum not irreducibly complex?

If there was a goal (ie the current diversity of lifeforms), then design is a much more likely way of having achieved that goal. If, however, we wish to actually detect if design was truly necessary for the current diversity of life, we can't limit ourselves to only the one solution to the problem ...

Re: Bacterial Flagellum not irreducibly complex?

Sorry for my lateness... [*] He says there are two possible explanations for any given entity; it is the product of "mindless natural processes" OR it is the product of an "intelligent agent". As far as anyone can tell, those are the only possible scenarios. I have mentioned this...
