Once again you inaccurately accuse me of making a fallacious argument (you've done this many times). The word "fucking" does not inherently make for an ad hominem attack. In fact, I did not make one. What's more, I was rightfully frustrated by your incorrect accusations of unsupported statements...

Yes buddy, it is because our ability to understand the objective universe is small compared to all that there is to understand. It is not just that we can't know everything, but rather what we know is an infitessmal fraction of what there is to know. ANd this is far more than a meaningless...

BTW, I never said there was another being that are more capable than man of understanding the objective universe. I never spoke in relative terms in fact! So why do read this (or misread, as usual) from??

So are you very "Godly" thunderbolt?

Hey axe, you keep trying to make yourself feel so brilliant by accusing people of all kinds of fallacies, even when half the times these were non-existent (you simply assumed or misunderstood someone). This was proven in past pages (by yours truly). And again, you say that I am offering an...

hey axe buddy, I've covered them SEVERAL times in the past! have you been skipping pages?? I don't just "simply assert" things. no "empty assertion" here, so why don't you fucking read what I say before you make such an accusation. The fact is that we are limited in what we can understand, and...

True. We, and our ability to understand the objective universe, are very limited!

The concept of omniscience is not at all "logically impossible," and was never shown to be so as you claimed. In fact, concepts from philosophy and logic help to prove that the concept cannot be discredited by semantic games!

I don't recall anyone bringing up that argument from Descartes. So why are you bringing us this argument and critique?

As far as the alphabet, that's fine. All I said was that muslums did not create it. Tampa said "followers of Islam." I had read that the first alphabet came from Crete, but if this is wrong, so be it (I never mentioned it anyhow). With regard to calculus, Archimedes of Ancient Greece was the...

algebra yes (there was an ancient greek who started to come up with it, but all the other greeks only cared about geometry and calculus). wasn't it the Moore's (the Ottomons, who were generally the most enlightened of all muslums perhaps in history) who invented algebra. how much impact algebra...

Isn't the "middle ground" to be "agnostic?"

ok cool, but I don't think that was the point. I believe the point being made (by dan was it?) was that a book of faith is as important to one group of people (largely made up of the most intolerant group there is) as the bible is to its adherents. Please correct me if I'm mistaken (about this...

I noticed this all along, but never bothered to say anything. Actually, they don't always "re-interpret" the bible. Sometimes (such as with Galileo and the earth being flat) the literate elites of the church simply threatened the person exposing the facts so that these elites could quietly alter...

This is very true. However, I'm curious from whom they are deemed to be scholars!!

That last paragraph is exactly where I do and always will stand. With regard to people using God as an excuse for doing what they want, are you suggesting that God did not really tell Reggie White to play in Green Bay (as White claimed)????????

Lucy is old stuff. There have been so many bigger discoveries in the last several (last few for that matter) years.

First, it's not about PC. It's about whether you will "excuse" someone to believe in God or not. Secondly, there is no straw man here, because I am not using this argument to suggest that God can, cannot, must or must not exist. So where the hell do you keep pulling these claims of non-existent...
