ISIAIh 41 BRING forth your IDOLS did they PREACH to you see they can’t speak they can’t DO ANYTHING all they do is cause confuson. Jeremiah 10 they nail hier IDOL down like a scarecrow it can’t move cant speak can’t move must be caried these are nothing but the WORK of CON men. john 10 jesus christ sais his sheep hear his voice and another voice thy will not follow and if another person tries to preach to tem they WILL FLEE from him. jeremiah 5 the priests bear rule on thier own auhority what will you do whe your judged my word is not inside them. Now here is the kicker john 5 son of man voice goes back in time mathew 16 jesus christ claims to be th son of man. 1 cor2 mind of CHRIST preached internlly and john 16 sais the spirit of truth comes in the future. Ezekiel 13 lying prophets of ISRAEL my word is not inside them saying god sais god sais god sais wrote hoping mankind would CONFIRM thie WORDS. all of this is EASILY verifyable.

duh, this is such a dumb argument. I received it in mail.
well if hot–>cold is same as god—>satan then absolute extremities of both are impossible.

and who on this earth can miss evidence of evolution.

any way gr8 counter argument, but atheists do not need to spread stupid chain letters as they are sensible.

This is the most fascinating thread i have ever cared to read in full. Today has really been one of those days ruled by strings of bizarre & soothing coincidences that almost hints of a divine presence or at least divine power over my universe. I don’t think it is unreasonable to recognize the great and wonderful power we all wield as, for lack of a better word, Divine. As a matter of fact, whilst i sit and listen to Pink floyd’s – Atom Heart Mother album this night and recall this day & many others that can only be described, by me, as perfect, I feel that any word not synonymous with divine used in an attempt to articulate the very strange, very wonderful force or presence that, unarguably, resides in each every one of us… LIFE and the unique opportunity to manipulate the reality we experience it in is, if there were such a thing, “blasphemous”. It seems very clear to me that the only It or Thing that fundamentally, by its very nature is worthy of praise and service, and commands respect AND gets it from both man and beast without little favor and no promise in return is LIFE. LIFE giveth and LIFE taketh away.
The romantic in me sometimes entertains thoughts of an omnipresent lifeforce that at every opportunity in a way unknown to us manifests itself with the sole purpose of being a Master of The Universe. Its ultimate goal is tirelessly carried out by servants/beings given little more than an instinct to survive, diversified by chance, and evolved through a process of natural selection past the point and beyond relying on a single rock or star before the Universe, whom does not wish to be mastered, casts down another stone and forces life to start again from square one.
That’s fun right? Yes it is because for all you or anyone knows, with any degree of certainty, it is all true. Which brings me to my point–The skepticism and reasoning skills we are all given or acquire forbid me to side with an atheist or the existence of any god. Both stubbornly require faith, either in god or ones own argument against his existence. Neither of which can be known or proven by any means.
Hello. My name is John C. and I’m an agnostic.

Todd, your comment is so full of stupid that it’s not worth spending much effort on. Clearly you are opining on a topic (Evolution) that you haven’t the slightest bit of knowledge about. Go study up on what the theory actually says and then come back and try again.

In response to “Evolution”: I do believe that things can evolve(to some extent but not across species). I do not believe we evolved from monkeys, however. If you accept the fact that we did evolve from monkeys, why did some monkeys choose not to evolve. Wouldn’t all monkeys rather be human. Who was in charge of telling some monkeys they could evolve and others could not? And why would worms choose to evolve into worms? Wouldn’t they rather be the bird? Beyond my faith that says “God created man”, the whole science thing doesn’t stand up.

Herm,

why aren’t there a whole bunch of half breeds still running around about us.

You’ve never been to Washington, D.C.???

Peace.

Herm,

We didn’t “come from monkeys”, we share a common ancestor with monkeys, and with every living thing.

No, no, no, Herm, you weren’t paying attention in Atheism 101. God’s a monkey.

Because you fail at biology.

If God does not exist and we all came from monkeys why then are there still monkeys and why aren’t there a whole bunch of half breeds still running around about us.
