jX down to a T.

Oh, I love it when they lie and obfuscate and bear false witness.

Congenital supidity symptoms, Starman Sindrome.

So, starman, you dont remember the question or what?

It was, were you referring to AS and myself as whacked out Christians?

Do you not even remember who you were referring to?

Well, that's not surprising in the least.

I rest my case.

AS, the reason I asked is because I thought you had said you were an atheist, but I may be incorrect on that.

May I ask if you think, referring to your above threads, think our GOD is fictitious? I'm just not understanding some of your, seemingly to me, tricky posts above.

I'm just wondering why if animals swam in the waters and wanted food on land, why they didnt grow feet and still keep some fins and gills for going swimming.

It seems to me it could have served them well when trying to get away from sabretoothed critters or even pterodactyls.

For that matter, I can see where birds wanted hands and arms, but why didnt they just grow them and keep their wings for flying, especially when they were young and lithe rather than old and fat.

I think I've seen pics of horses with wings. I guess that was the link between birds and horses. I wonder why they didnt use and lost their wings? They should have come in handy dodging sabetooths and prairie fires.

I guess it was just the smart birds which started trying to build nests with their wings which morphed into hands. I never see chickens trying to build chiett with their wings.

No, those dumb clucks sure missed out.

They could have built traps and bows and arrows and guns and - had chicken for dinner.

Jax,

I've been very clear about my position over several years and dozens of these threads. An Atheist is someone who doesn't accept any theistic claims, because non-have met their burden of proof. That is different from, what in modern parlance is called an anti-theist who actively asserts "There are no gods". It's the difference between saying a defendant is "not guilty" and "innocent". Just because the prosecution presented insufficient evidence for a guilty verdict, it doesn't mean the person is also "innocent".

There are certain definitions of certain gods that I will say do not exist. This is pretty straight forward when god definitions are contradictory, or nonsensical. On of the challenges with the Christian god, is there is no single definition of what constitutes "The Christian God". Heck Christian's can't agree on the basics, works vs. faith, and as evidenced in this thread if it even requires a belief in a young earth, or literalalist interpertation of the Bible, of if the Christian God is "beyond the covers of any book". As a result, it makes it very difficult to take an anti-theist position when you don't even know the bounds of what you are arguing against. As I've mentioned, and demonstrated in previous threads, Christians are famous for "moving the goal posts" and redefining their god when the definition is use is conclusively disproven.

As for faith in science, maybe I got you mixed up with another poster, it's hard to keep track.

But then you are claiming that evolutionists depart from science, into faith.

Which is essentially saying that evolution is not science, that it is faith.

Given the overwhelming that supports evidence, it is a false claim. Evolution is not faith based.

It has stood a hundred and fifty years of testing, and just because a small percentage of young earth creationists seek to question it doesn't mean that the reality of evolution is questionable.

How about those old earth creationists?

Jag, that's not necessarily true. As an example, if I claim there's a quarter on the table in front of you, and you can see and feel the entire surface of the table, and it's completely devoid of all object, the absence of evidence is evidence of absence. Conversely we can eliminate definitions of gods that require specific conditions contrary to what we are able to observe. We know Zeus does not live at the top of Mount Olympus, because we've been to the top of it. Likewise, we know there is no hard firmament surrounding earth because we've been to the moon and sent probes even further into space.

Earth Creationists come in all ages. Some are young and some are old.

Because you have never seen leprechauns
or Santa traveling in his flying slay and Reindeer,
is there still a chance in your mind they still exist?


Wiithout evidence you have no verifiable facts.

Facts are required to substantiate the existence of
something and are consistent with objective reality
not ones subjective beliefs.

Not related to the genesis description of a literal six days of creation, mornings and evenings, etc, or natural evolution as recorded in the fossil record, strata, genetics, natural selection, common descent and so on....

Absence of evidence is evidence where and when evidence should be found. If something is claimed to exist, it should leave some trace of its existence.

There's a schitt load of stuff that exists
in people's minds and not shown to exist
Anywhere else.

¶ Christians imagined that Jews were the cause
of the black plague.
¶ Christians imagined that pagan Viking raids
were God punishing them for their transgressions.
¶ Christians believe earthquakes, floods, fires and
hurricanes are God dispensing his vegeance/justice.
¶ Christians believe those who question their
personal beliefs are working for their christian
narrative devil.
¶ Christians believe those who don't accept their
God are going to burn in hell.

They take ALL the above subjective beliefs
as being objective fact.

I hope you don't plan to see any patience for at least the rest of this week.
