It's not laughing at him per se as it is laughing at yourself that you see in him. I howled at some of the things he said. Exactly what I said many years ago when that happened to me. In the days before I learned to use money management.

Could anyone please define an objective definition to perfection? What is perfection, exactly. TIA.

Popped champagne cork hit the off button and several... techs tripped over various power cabling inadvertently unplugging them in an attempt restart the main server. And now you know.

It doesn't hurt innovation at all. Pride hurts innovation. It doesn't cost all that much to do a patent search. And if you do a documented patent search beforehand, your legal expenses should you be challenged later more often than not will be significantly less. And there's also...

To the OP: Ok, you must have a better system besides patents in mind. Do tell. Tell so we can critique it the way you critique the patent concept. And don't leave out how the system you have in mind should work and its benefits. TIA.

How very unChristmassy of them.

But then, the apologists are right there to counter in so far as is necessary to smooth things over for those that believe the bible is true. Also, there's the game of interpretation. In some instances it works. But in other instances you're left scratching your head at how anyone would buy it.

Yeah, but Erin's looking sort of sexy in the giraffe motif dress.

That's possible. But since the thread was titled "is bible inerrant" I'm thinking that it had gone without saying that the bible's god is god we're refering to. If that is the case then given all the other problems with bible, we can rule that God out. In fact, all established religions past and...

But isn't archeology a science? What about examining the interal logical consistency? The question was about the bible I thought? Maybe I misread. But I thought the question was, " can you scientifically prove the bible isn't true." I just picked two things that disprove it. There's a...

Yes. And it has been done. Lack of historical and archeological proof. Internal contradictions. But apologist come out and smooth things over for the faithful.

It takes zero effort to sustan non-belief. We aren't burdened with any proof or false justification of beliefs. We don't suffer the disappointment of unaswered prayers. We don't have false hopes as we take things as they are and as they come. Being an Atheist is a fairly easy lifestyle. That...

Oh, that's the problem. You think I'm religious. Actually, I'm atheist. Thought that'd be apparent. I use "appears" because I've learned not to make emphatic statements about things that are pending and not fully conclusive. I won't say 1+1 appears to be 2. I don't say evolution appears to...

What gives me that idea? Studies that dive right in trying to answer the question. The logic is simple. The grand majority of humans and human history demonstrates an innate capacity for dreaming up and believing in supernatural things. Therefore, there must be something to it since it's so...

Ok, granted. So without evidence for God can we say that the possibility of its existence is extremely remote? Like with fairies? I don't think those that believe in God would be willing to state that. Where as an atheist would be more likely to state that given that atheists are atheists...

You mean according to either what you have conceptualized or the conceptulization of god you have adopted, we are insignificant and need to disprove the existence of that god everywhere? If the concept of God you adopted is that it is omnipresent, then if you can PROVE it exists in one area...

It's impossible to "disprove" god. Why? Those that claim god exists fail to define it in such a way as to allow for a test of their claim. Not only that but those that insist that God exists do so without testable proof to themselves. So you have to ask, who seems rational and who seems...

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

How is this different than proving a negative? Something which is a logical fallacy.
