I'd love to see the evidence.
-
I just want to add this 4 minute youtube clip. Ken Miller discusses the point where two primate chromosomes fused that resulting in what is now the human chromosome #2. It doesn't prove, or disprove the existence of god but with all scientific theories it simple adds overwhelming weight to it.

There's no debate about evolution. It's factual. Even if evolution was proven to be false it still doesn't prove the existance of god.

Couldn't agree more, Gnash. I've got no issue with people working hard and spending money. Likewise, I've got no issue with the extremely wealthy being coerced into coughing up a little more in taxes. I do have an issue with working hard and then giving it all up to support someone who doesn't want to do anything. f**k that guy. -
I laughed at fly agaric! Wouldn't it be ironic if the lord was actually a scientist, studying us under a microscope in a petri dish? He did indeed create the our heavens and earth but purely for the advancement of science!

Fair enough. I think there is a remote possibility. But it's not enough of a possibility for me to visit a priest, over a doctor.

Good thanks, QB. Just starting my weekend! Peace to you and yours, mate! That's fair enough. They were written under pseudonyms. In our case it would be Chris Jones, or Quarter Bull. Anonymous is exactly that. No one can actually pinpoint who wrote them. Luke, for example, was believed to be Luke the evangelist. Companion of Paul. However, biblical scholars are now challenging that theory. The gospel is believed to have been written around -110CE depending on which scholar you care to reference. Also it was still being substantially revised into the 2nd century. Have a lo

Can anyone post which article of the ECHR they'd like to see repealed? f**k that! That means I cannot criticize anything these fuckwits decide to do?!

Politics is about them, not us.

Agreed with the premise, but the biblical argument is exactly the opposite, wouldn't you agree? I truly believe that our existence on this earth is the be all and end all of it. At least in the traditional sense. We're born, we live, we die. We return to the universe where our energy is transfered to the earth. My rotting carcass feeds worms, plants, etc. I work on the premise that this is it because I genuinely have no reason, evidence, to assume otherwise. I'm sure some believers think that is a pessimistic view, an opinion which they're entitled to, but I believe that this life is the o

Gentlemen, If I may, I wish to share a joke I was told at Nantwich Theological college. The Brotherhood of Biblical Copyists is a sect working in the Carpathians. Their order has been around for a millenia and the brotherhood's duty is to diligently keep the bible in circulation. One morning Brother Benjamin is at his studies. He's is carefully copying a page from the New Testament where he finds that the ink has faded from the copy he is copying. Moving the light on his desk he tries to see what words are missing but ultimately in vane. The words are faded beyond comprehension

If we were meant to exist in perfection why would a loving god immediately attempt to undermine it? Why wouldn't he have simply created a place that we couldn't screw up? More to the point is the Tree Of Knowledge a euphemism? From the writers of the religious texts? So that we're encouraged not to think for ourselves? But I digress... The biggest problem I have with the text is it's origin. The way it's been written. Re-written. Changed. Translated. Redacted. Re-translated and written again. The current "correct" version was written in the 1600's. That's a 500 year margin of error.

When has the MoD not systematically shit on it's service personnel?
-
Sorry to hear about your Mam, QB. I wish her all the very best, and hope she's as happy and as comfortable as she can be. I've also lost family members to cancer, so I know the torment it inflicts on the suffering and their friends and family. Like you I don't blame god. I don't blame anyone in particular, I think it's just a random chain of events from the beginning through to the end. I'm here to observe, to learn, to love, and to grow, before the universe reclaims me.

Surely the supreme being can circumvent the laws of the universe? God created free will. God will not interfere with free will. God is all knowing and is perfect. God knows the actions of everything to, and from, infinity. Therefore God knows what each and everyone of us has done, and will do. Why would the perfect create such imperfection? If God knows this then is he willing to prevent evil? Or is he unable? Is he able but not willing? Both? Neither? Either way it's pretty f****d up seeing kids with bone cancer.

I've always been an above and beyond guy when it came to air rifles. We're constantly under scrutiny and we risk losing our priveleges every time someone takes a tin of pellets to a park. I just think it's time we take the initiative.
-
No worries. Look forward to reading your interpretation of it. Sleep well.
-
Puzzler isn't it? When I see all this violence, all over the news, I just cannot fathom why someone with the power to stop it would sit by and watch. Even if we took adults out of the equation and said "could you just stop the kids being slaughtered?" As a semi-educated monkey I take offense to the possibility that someone would sit idly by and allow that to happen.
-
Absolutely not, QB. I'm not questioning the existence of free will. It's a given that we can do as we please. But when free will crosses with heinous crime, why would a supreme being choose not to intervene?
-
Gentlemen. Do you think we're approaching an era where we will need to store our gear in a gun cabinet, regardless of power? With the cost of the average pre-charged rig, an additional £ for a gun safe might be a pretty good investment.

I'm just going to stick with being a fat b*****d. Don't worry I'll keep the beer cold for when anyone decides they're done with dieting.
-
If god doesn't exist we can't blame him for anything. If god does exist we can't blame him for man's actions, because of free will. But we can question god's motives for allowing such actions, can we not?
-
Could he stop you? Or does he choose not to?

I guess we'll find out whether UKIP are full of shit soon enough.

Yep! Soon to be very skint with an agenda! f**k em!
