I take it that you are referring to Dolt and the bible, and that you are not referring to me as infantile (cause I have been extremely far from it)! Please correct me if I'm wrong!!!

First of all, the very point I made was that our logic system is finite and limited, and therefore I clearly cannot describe what I can't comprehend. What I know is that I can't comprehend all that there is (including the attributes of an infinite God, if there is one). But the concept of God...

There are plenty of species that are clearly connected by the discoveries (and analysis of genes) of the intermediate species. I believe Bears and pigs are closely related, for example. For that matter, we have found plenty to connect people and apes (even outside of analyzing our genetic...

I want my credit!!! I was the one who first called him Thunderdolt.

Scourge of mankind is not appropriate. However, the Inquisition and crusades, among others, were definitely dark days.

mathmaticians who can't think for themselves?? Interesting!!

The last comment is the truth. In fact, I don't know how some people keep reading his posts. I keep skimming over them or skipping them altogether (usually the latter).

and doing what, shadow boxing?? Who wins, you or the shadow?

True, although there is ample research and evidence to demonstrate other differences between men and women. The EEOC sued Sears, for example, because it figured it must've been discriminating against women since Sears had only a small % of women selling various equipment retail. After Sears had...

Actually she was extremely serious. That's the sad part. She called the suggestion that a fireperson should be strong enough to carry someone out of a burning building (which was a point made by an LA assembly woman in defense of their having to video tape the physical tryouts to avoid the...

I agree that Dan believes in people's rights to believe in what they want, and I agree that Dan would not use violence. And of course, it is those who do not believe even in said basic liberty who are the most dangerous. However, when you go beyond simply questioning or challenging someone to...

Actually, logic has been used to describe, through philosophy, how things can (not must, but can) exist outside of our logic systems. So I'm sorry it is all Greek to you. The easiest way is to point out that we know nothing for sure other than that each of us thinks and therefore must exist...

Omnipotent: having virtually iunlimited authority or influence omnipotence: an agency or force of unlimited power (Webster's College Dictionary) How does this rock argument prove that a being does not have unlimited power? It is nothing but a petty word game, created by the communication tool...

Obviously, his points do not prove that God exists. But the point about the rock argument and the serious limitations of word games are arrived at logically, as a matter of fact, and do negate some of the argumensts that have been attempted to prove that God CAN'T exist!!

True, this is possible (if a God exists).

I agree 100%. This is the biggest problem. And such intolerance of the views of others that don't infringe upon one's own life also applies to such views as the following by Dan:

Actually, there was no circular reasoning. He said that he believes that God has attributes that make it difficult to recognize its presence based on logic. He didn't say that this was proof that God actually existed, only that these attributes are the reason why logical arguments (applied well...

There's nothing wrong with you believing in God, but why does there have to bea "challenge?"

This only scratches the surface with regards to the double standards!

True. In other words, they are like Thunderbolt. They don't win any debates (serious debates) about these matters through logic or facts. They win it through intimidation and ad homs (and other fallacies).
