It isn't true.
| quote: | | Who said anything about contradictions here? Can't you read the whole post? This was a response to when you said there are no other gods. Yet in the bible said god will execute judgement upon other gods. If they don't exist, who the hell is he going to execute his judgment upon. Or maybe he's paranoid so he's imagining other gods. |
Quote the verse where God said he will execute judgment upon other gods.
Gen 1:11 Then god said "let the land produce vegetation...
Gen 1:13 ...on the third day
Gen 1:26 Then god said, "let us make man in our image...
Gen 1:27 God created man in his own image...
Gen 1:31 ...the sixth day
So, here it says god created plants on the 3rd day and humans on the 6th. But, later on the story is a bit different
Gen 2:4,2:5 When the lord god made the earth and the heavens - [b]and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprung up...
Gen 2:7 ...the lord god formed the man...
So here god created man before plants. See the contradiction?[/quote]
Nope,there isn't a contradiction.

No,I don't believe you do understand Chritianity,because if you did,you wouldn't be acting and speaking the way you do.
| quote: | | Here's a little example which may help you realize how the mistake occured. In english, the word hot means both warm and spicy. So you tell me "A soup is hot". You wanted to say it's spicy. Yet I translate it into croatian as "Juha je vruca". Then someone else translates it back to english and says "A soup is warm". Get it? Sometimes a single word can mean two different things, and the virgin birth was an unfortunate accident of such a flawed translation. |
It was a virgin birth,because when the angel came to her she said " How could this be? for I have not known a man. " meaning,she hasn't had sex with anyone.
| quote: | | Then obviously you are not familiar with either of those gods. Let me spell it out for you again. Osiris was resurrected. Osiris allowed humans to reach the heavenly afterlife. Osiris was solar god. Jesus's birth is right after the winter equinox, the december 25th. The 12 apostols symbolize 4 seasons and 3 stages of life/day. Jesus symbolizes the sun. The council of Nicaea modified christianity to be closely related to pagan cults in order to absorb their holidays as it's own. Easter was the pagan celbration of fertility. Jesus' resurrection was set to be on the very same day. Coincidence? Hardly. Do you know why there are all those easter bunnies symbolize? Fertility, as they multiply rapidly. Bunnies are remnants of the pagan holiday. So are easter eggs, as they symbolize birth. |
Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, he was born in the springtime. But,we choose to celebrate his birth at the same time as the winter equinox,the symbol of victory of light over darkness.
Yes, I know the easter egg is of a pagan holiday.
| quote: | | So are you saying that my backyard is full of satans, cause I think there's a snake lair in the vicinity? |
No,that isn't what I'm saying. Satan possesed a serpants body.That's what I'm saying.
| quote: | | Well, the bible clearly states a woman is Adam's helper, not partner/friend/whatever. Yet another reason why I don't agree with the bible. Have you ever noticed how the old testament condones slavery, poligamy, and incest? Oh, while we're at it, could you explain to me where Cain got his wife from after he was banished from the garden of eden? Well, guess what, you can't because the bible is lacking on that detail. It was most likely Lilith or one of her offspring. |
The Bible clearly states that Eve was Adam's helpmate, AKA companion.
No,did not condone it.It explains it, but does not condone it.
His wife had to have been one of sisters, because those were the only people on the earth.
If there were only brothers and sisters, how else were they to follow God's command to populate the earth? This is the way it was at first until there were enough to choose other than your own siblings as your mate.
| quote: | | Yes, but god did not want us to know that. |
And do you know why? God didn't want us to have to know sin.
| quote: | | I know that satan was god's prime angel and that his name was Lucifer. However, Lucifer was not a walking talking serpent. He was an angel with fluffy wings that led a rebellion against god. |
No,Lucifer wasn't a walking talking serpent,He possesed the body. Big difference.
Yes, he did,and he took 1/3 of the angels with him.
| quote: | | Obviously it didn't because most of the things in bible didn't really happen. But if we for a second consider bible a worthy historical document, then it says there it did. |
No,The events in the Bible are historical happenings.
| quote: | | What, do you want me to dig out some skeletons and send them to you via mail? Turn on the discovery channel. |
I watch discovery channel,often infact. But, the only thing I'm seeing about evolution are those 3-D animated programs.
Hmm,Maybe I should pull what some of you all pulled here. " No I only trust internet links, books won't work. "
| quote: | | Well, say all you want but the your "relationship" with god is pretty much defined as religion. |
That's only how the world sees it, and that really doesn't matter. Because it's completely different when you are following God.
| quote: | | But how do you differentiate between the two? By saying that once creatures of the same species reach the point where they can no longer mate, micro-evolution has become macro-evolution? God, the point of view you are defending has been valid somewhere around the middle of 19th century. |
Micro- Small changes within species, Lions-tigers-panthers.... etc.. they are all within the feline species, That's micro. Macro is like cat to dog, things like that. There is a difference. You obviously don't understand what I'm saying,and I'm not sure why it's really really simple.
| quote: | | I'm sorry but I believe a child's right to be taught non-biased actual facts is more important than a parent's right to educate his children in whichever way they desire. Now, as for home schooling, I accept that in cases such as yours it is the only way possible, but it unfortunately brings around a huge amount of problems, as the obvious bias of the parents who then teach their children in any way they desire. |
You must not be a parent. If you are, then I'm seeing major issues here. No, Homeschooling doesn't. I'm getting a better education at home, the work is harder,but much more intense,and it teaches you so much more. The curriculum is much much better than public schools. Did you know colleges accept homeschoolers with open arms?
| quote: | | Well, if you look at it that way, everything is based upon believing. You can say that you believe that 2+2=5 and that it's not the school's right to order you to believe otherwise. In a way you are right. Schools are there to teach you valid facts and theories. If you don't want to believe them, regardless of the evidence which supports them, but want to believe some bogus theories instead, well the school can't force you to do otherwise. |
That's our right,and the school can't trample of it,and I'm glad you see that.
| quote: | | Heh, so I'll have to go and find myself a book. You might at least post some short contents which defend your point. You can't really expect that everytime someone disagrees with you he should buy a book that explains your points. And yes, the book may be as liable as the internet, but it is more liable than established peer-reviewed scientific books. |
I've told you several times,all I've read about evolution is in my biology book. I could give you a link to where the book is, heck if I had money at the moment I'd even send you a copy.
| quote: | | No, it is not. Again, your stance is "I say it so it must be true". |
Nope, it's been proven. It's not just my word.
| quote: | | Well, "macro" evolution is written in a huge amount of scientific journals and books as well. Therefore, using your arguments, it is true. |
Just because it's written in a huge amount of scientific journals doesn't make it true. Now does it?
| quote: | | Because the evidence against you is overwhelming while the evidence that supports you is quite shaky. |
Nope, it's not overwhelming. You're claims that missing links have been found simply isn't true.
| quote: | | You still haven't explained how the day was created on the first day. |
It's all in Genesis,friend.
| quote: | | Aaargh, for 50th time already, that story was in the old testament and it was thrown out later on. |
and again,it never even existed in the first place. |

Okay Nessa. I obliged you this weekend and went to our local Border’s and checked out Strobel’s newer book you continue to refer to. I sat down and I skimmed through it a little bit, and sure enough it was different than the book I read. His Case for Faith was more or less an answer to those critics of his first book I read, The Case for Christ. He broke it down into 8 different objections that he thought a critic of Christianity may have.
Like his first book I read, it didn’t surprised me how well Strobel writes and describes his arguments. No doubt it was why he held such a high journalist position at the Chicago Tribune for so many years. However in his first objection alone I immediately found a similar flaw in his writing: he has a tremendous sense of bias, and gives very little if any attention to the critics of Christianity. For example, his first interview was with a former minister turned agnostic. In return, however, Strobel answers the critic with 8 different Christians! And of course, no rebuttal is allowed from those 8 answers. Not exactly equal, is it?
But let’s deal with the crux of your argument, Nessa, with Strobel’s 3rd argument: Evolution. Immediately I identified a common Creationist flaw with pretty much the entire chapter: the majority of Strobel’s argument had little to do with evolution, and more to do with the concept of abiogenesis. Evolutionists have very little, if any concern over how life was created on earth (abiogenesis). Rather, they study how life went forth from that period on (evolution). It amazes me how Strobel, being such a great investigative journalist, confuses these two. He then, of course, continues on about transition fossils never being found, which I can only conclude that like you, Nessa, Strobel neglected to read some of the same links I gave you about transitional fossils.
And then much to my delight, Strobel touches on a Creationist concept I am very familiar with, Irreducible Complexity. For his example on this subject, he uses Dr. Michael Behe and his book, Darwin’s Black Box, which I’ve read a number of times. I’ll spare you the detail of the concept of IC Nessa, because I know you’ll do a good job on your own reading more about it, much like you’ve shown here so far. But I’ve debated and thoroughly debunked Behe’s concepts many times over in my past. And one of my favorite authors has also done a wonderful job debunking Behe in his own right, Dr. Ken Miller. Here’s just a couple of websites you can check out for yourself (if you have the intellectual honesty to do so):
http://www.millerandlevine.com/km/e...view/index.html
http://www.world-of-dawkins.com/Catalano/box/behe.shtml
It’s interesting to note that Ken Miller himself is a Christian, yet he has no problem with evolution. It may also be interesting to note that 40% of evolutionists believe in a deity of some sort, including some are actually Christians like Miller. Coincidentally, one of my favorite books I’ve read is Miller’s book, Finding Darwin’s God: A Scientist’s Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution. It’s truly a fascinating book, and I’ve recommended it for both Christians and non-Christians in the past.
But back to Strobel. I did not read the rest of his book (I was sitting at Border’s for over an hour anyway and I had other errands to run), but I felt it necessary to do a little more research about some criticisms on the internet. I would be really interested to hear what you have to say to the following criticisms:
http://www.infidels.org/library/mod...ned/index.shtml
http://www.infidels.org/library/mod...d/strobel.shtml
Please do take note of the criticisms on objection 3, and tell me what you think.
Overall, this chapter takes the common logical fallacy of appeal to ignorance, which you are also very apt at doing. IOW, since Strobel can’t possibly understand (or willing to listen in your case), God must therefore be the culprit. Very bad logic.

Really Nessa, does your entire case against evolution rest on this book alone? Do you have anything more to add, considering my criticisms above?
| quote: | and I've shown there is a difference. You should know the difference... So tell me, Do you want your Microwave to be a MICROwave? Or a MACROwave? There's a huge difference between the two. Micro,and macro aren't the same.
micro- or micr-

Why yes, I do get this rather immature elementary breakdown of the two words. A wonderful game of semantics you're playing with me here. What is painfully obvious, however, is that you’re being intellectually dishonest and failing to read the links I gave to you, because those links answers this very question you ask about micro- and macro-.
What does Exodus 20:16 (the 9th Commandment) say about dishonesty? Now remember, you can lie to me, you can even lie to yourself, but you just can’t lie to Jesus. So let’s try to be a little more honest with each other and read each other’s content that helps support our arguments. I have read yours, you must do me the honors of reading mine. Now just to be nice, here it is again:
http://talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/
Now I know there’s a lot there. But as I’ve said before, feel free to ask me questions if you need to. But more specifically, here’s a specific part on evidence on speciation (macroevolution):

You must do better than this. Unlike you, I investigate and research. I want the name of the author so I can look up things for myself. Now go get your sister, go get your mother, go get your neighbor, or go get a very long pole with a little sticky thingy on the end – do whatever you need to do to get that book for me, please.
No, God told me too. Can you prove me wrong?
| quote: | | Again,I'll do as I please,Just as you have and you will. I'm not here to be demanded,you aren't my authority,Alright? |
Now you’re really acting 16. What’s next? I’m waiting for a “you’re not the boss of me” comment to come soon. Geez.
You either deal with the fact that this forum is about beliefs, political or otherwise (in this case religion), or kindly don’t post. Your decision.
[/QUOTE]God isn't made up,and nope I'm not desperate.[/QUOTE]
Okay, prove he isin’t made up. And since I’m a deist and don’t believe in the Bible which is man-made, you’re going to have to use something else to convince me.
| quote: | | Again, I told you. God is logical,God isn't some made up thing. He's real, the real deal. I shouldn't have to explain myself,you know the answer already. |
Wow, you’re really going to use logic on me now? You already committed a logical fallacy here: leap of logic. By you simply saying God is logical doesn't make him logical one bit. Prove to me step by step how God is more logical than the Great Cookie Monster I believe in. And no, I don’t know the answer – that is up to you to prove it to me. I can’t see God. I don’t believe the fact that God told men to stuff down about him in a thing called “the Bible” anymore than I believe Allah told Muhammed all his stuff in the middle of a desert. I want proof that God actually did it. Talking through men isin’t enough. For all I know, they all smoked a big spleef and hallucinated their entire life. So show me outside of the Bible that the Christian God exists, and maybe I’ll give credence to it. Stop playing games and prove it.

But you guys were doing such a good job :p .
In keeping up with the spirit of this debate, I was thinking about inviting my bedroom wall to join the argument. He's not very logical, doesn't respond well to specific arguments, but I've never seen such conviction! Apparentely his style of debate must be growing popular ... |

Now be patient. Let's just see how far this lack of logic can go. Honestly, this is becoming quite entertaining.
As for talking to a wall - sounds a lot like Buddhism. Many Buddhists find pure enlightenment in doing such actions. Of course they're going to burn in hell with the rest of non-Christians, so I guess it matters little who or what they talk to. |

I know what this forum is about. Debating. It's not about personally attacking ones beliefs. You can't deny that.
Go look in the mirror,and that's your proof. You are living breathing evidence my friend. The Bible isn't man made, It was written through man, but it was God's words. You could says God's inspiration.
But,it's obvious that God is logical.
Revelation,and Genesis, and all the books inbetween tell of God's existance. He is speaking to us through it. It's His word afterall.
I suggest you read it, you might actually find something interesting...and no I don't mean read it to pick it apart,I mean read it to learn it.
I know the 9th commandment, but remeber you have to follow it also. I would send you the links, but the debates aren't there anymore, only new ones open ( which I haven't participated in.)The webmaster ( Jeffrey ) removes anything past a certain date.
This is a special board for people who have the same illness I have. But, I can tell you the topics. If you wish.
I'm sure you'll still accuse me of being a liar, but I did win debates there. I've lost many aswell. |
A wall.. thats what you are.
Most of your replies consists of "that is not true...I beleive this....i didnt say that... that is a lie... read this book... read that book...ive done my research...you are wrong" without even arguing it.
So far... everyone agaisnt you has made you look like a complete idiot.. |

Yes, now that I look at it, the discussion is totally entertaining if you're just a side observer. On one hand a bunch of people trying to be logical and serious, providing argument after argument, and on the other a person who totally doesn't get any of them and just keeps saying "you're wrong, I'm right". I stopped at a point where I was either gonna yell or laugh at the situation. But I'm glad to see that Opus has not yet given up and is still fighting ignorance. Go Opus! :)

You know what would be totally cool and awesome? If we start a debate between Dj-Fuq and Nellie. Say about drugs. I'm sure Nellie is against them. That might end up as the longest thread in the history of TA! "'Drugs are harmless, it says so on a pro-drug web page!' 'No they're not, it says so in the bible!'..." :) |

I just had a friend get out of the hospital because she had over dosed on drugs. So if I were you,I'd stop right there. |

No,they haven't. I'm not a wall. But that's only your opinion,and it doesn't matter to me. |
