Atheists on the march in America

[Thinking]

Tell me what I suppose.

Maybe they just like violence and stupidity.

IOW, you can't come up with the winning numbers. Called you on your BS.

You were expecting signs and wonders, perhaps? LOL! If you want answers - get in touch with the knowledge of your own subjective self.

No such thing as random, we perceive randomness because we lack the complex computations required to identify the patterns in everything, our computers do that better now. But atomic reactions, chemical reactions, are structured based on the atomic structures, that's not even close to conscious reaction, it's the same as what happens when you drop a ball.

You should really try to explain how a human eye or any eye evolved. It is so complex and irreducible complexity comes to mind here. What came first? The brain or the eye? Can't have one without the other for evolution to succeed. They have to continually 'evolve' together and the species needs to not become extinct for the concept of vision to prosper. Then you have the issue of different classes of creatures, whom are not even related, also "evolving" vision. The odds are astronomical, there fore we are all created by a creator. Evolution has the same chance of becoming, as a tornado tearing through a junkyard and when everything has settled, there is a Boeing 747 airliner, full of jet fuel, waiting for a pilot. A beautiful butterfly in all it's grandeur , requires a creator, as does an intricate pocket watch. Life cannot simply evolve because with time anything is possible, if that were the case, then the planets in our solar system that are not gaseous, would have had some sort of life thriving on each and everyone of them, but as far as we know, they don't.

Nothing is random, least of all consciousness which is far more mobile than you will ever comprehend. You are wrong. You are both here and there. We are all multidimensional. There are channels of interrelatedness, connecting all physical matter - channels through which consciousness flows.
The physical sciences pretend that the centuries exist one after another, while physicists realize that all events are simultaneous. Archeologists merrily contine to date the remains of "past" civilizations, never asking themselves if the past they record is the one relative to their point of perception.
There is more in heaven and earth, Gomer, than is dreamt of in your feeble philosophy.

You're a liar with no proof of god. It doesn't matter how much language you dress it up with.

Remove consciousness from the origin equation and you atheists will always be left trying to prove that life came from dead matter. You are as intellectually bankrupt as you claim the religious are.

You're a liar with no proof of god at the end of the day.

You have to lie about atheists to further your fraudulent religious agenda. And at the same time you shamelessly try to sell us your cult's morals.

Try proving your fake god first, you liar, then you get to criticise atheists - people you know nothing about.

It's not atheist's fault that you don't know how the eye evolved. It's also not atheist's fault that you don't know why "irreducible complexity" is a non-argument which has been disproven time and time again.

Perhaps if you were intelligent enough to understand biology, you wouldn't be so ignorant of it. But then again, if you truly understood biology or science, you would be atheist after all...

[-Skeptic-]

I find it simultaneously sad and funny that people who've never picked up a test tube in their lives seem to be so adamant that evolution isn't real.

All creationist arguments are arguments from ignorance.

You want us to say, Jesus made eveything with his magic fish! OK feel better half wit? Tell us again how you think Chris Angel really has Magic powers and he really does all those tricks with no editing :))

Care for an Obama bumper sticker? I would send you a T-shirt but no way could your fatass squeeze into one. Seriously let me know and I will send you one to put on your car if you can afford one, if not you can put it on your singlewide's window :)

You're welcome lardass :)

I would have to agree. Atheists like to think that science has all but obliterated religion with its so-called objective facts. What the atheist doesn't understand is that science has simply changed the wording, but not the story.

The most pessimistic elements of Christianity have been given a new scientific face. Freud's theories have come to represent the darker aspects of human psychology, the soul cut free from the conventional belief in an omnipotent god...stripped of its power and delegated to a series of mechanical reactions called instinctive drives. Psychologists have replaced a theological hell with a psychological hell, and turned the concept of "original sin" into primitive implulses stamped upon the genes in infancy. Psychoanalysis has replaced the Catholic confessional. The psychologist is the new priest who stands between the conscious and subconscious elements of man. The drive for salvation (divine perfection), has been replaced with salvation through psychotropic drugs.

Funny that you pick the mayfly, considering it's helping us to discover a natural cause for abiogenesis as well.

Yeah, you need to catch up on science before attempting to address scientific matters. Not to mention physiological changes have been addressed by multiple posters, multiple scientists, and even a lot of other people so many times. Get an up to date "argument," you old crone.

How do you change the wording that 3 is pi, or bats are birds? Also, psychology does not deal in "sin" at all. It deals with understanding how we think. Psychiatry, a spin-off of religion, is the only arena that deals in something resembling "sin" at all, and that's not based on science, it's just enforcing personal stereotypes, exactly the same way religion does.

Scientific minds have demonstrated your bible to be wrong, so wrong it's a mockery to human literature considering people in eras prior to the writing of the bible got so much more accurate information recorded in tombs, the same people your bible attempts to paint as "monsters." Your ideology is out dated, useless, and nothing more than a weapon against anything that you disagree with. Science is a collection of methods and tools to reliably understand how the universe works, possibly even beyond but we have no way of even going beyond. Your bible assumes to speak for something which has demonstrably been proven to not exist, where in the sky is this "kingdom?" We've been in the sky, and beyond, and found nothing.

Oh, you are so clueless, so then we weren't made from dirt according to your book of myths? That's what it says, that we were made from dead matter. Yet, you cannot demonstrate a difference between the matter that makes up a human, that that which makes up a rock.

Here's a very simple explanation, with citations and that thing you hate called evidence:

Stop being willfully naive for a change.

I've had no problem following postscript's comments on the nature of consciousness. What's your major malfunction?

It's where the next gap in our knowledge is. That's where it always has been and where it always will be.

Yet, no one has proven that consciousness exists beyond the brain, we can trace consciousness in the brain, so where's your evidence that it exists outside of the physical brain?

Another day of ineptitude from the antitheists.*Note to lurkers* They have gone almost three years without giving one accountable position they are willing to debate. Three years without an example of evidence that meets their criteria for evidence. These are angry agenda driven folks that don't give a damn about the evidence.
If you want to subject yourself to this farce by all means see for yourself. Antitheists you could also just cut and paste one of the 62,880 posts to show otherwise.
Stump an antitheist! Ask them what they believe. True science that is repeatable and observable.
