A clear majority of American voters in 2000 wanted Al Gore elected President. LOL And spare me the speech on the Electoral College. Maybe someday that abomination will go the way of the state-legislator-elected Senate.

Lies. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament are flat-earth books, and the Old Testament pegs the age of the earth at only several thousand years old. It takes the most childish sort of sophistry to treat all those specific claims in the Bible as "just metaphors".

As I pointed out before, there is nothing evidential about the anthropic principle. I wonder if this counter-argument will make it into your blog.

And more to the point, what the hell kind of "computations" does he think a freakin' proton is doing? :confused: A proton exists, it does not "compute".

That's because you're willfully ignorant, piker. Man trumps God because Man invented God, just like Man invented all the other supernatural beasties that haunt human imaginations but are nowhere to be found in the natural world. If ever there were gods on this planet, they left long ago...

Yep it's a desperate trick. Superman may be the most powerful superhero but he still pure fiction, and trumped by the fact that he does not Exist. As I tried (and apparently failed) to get across, it is possible for something to be infinite and still be less than a greater infinity. It...

What I find really amusing about all this God = greatest stuff is that mathematics has already proven that there is more than one infinity. They are called transfinite numbers, and yes, transfinite means "infinite", only with a more precise definition. It turns out the infinity of the...

The truth is always convenient for those who don't fear it. So your complaint really is that science is incomplete. Agreed, science doesn't have an answer for every question. And theism does? :confused:

Try as I might, I don't see anything in here about "something out of nothing": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang

Ricter, you're one of the few thinking theists in ET. As stu pointed out, your second paragraph requires that we consider everything as possible because someday evidence may be found supporting it. I don't think that is a practical way to live. I like the following: "The argumentum ad...

Man-made global warming is a controversial theory supported by facts that are currently being challenged. Gravity is not a theory, gravity is a fact. You think what we call gravity wouldn't exist if man didn't have a definition for it? This is why theism should be a psychosis. Your grasp...

Yes, the side existence takes is commonly referred to as REALITY. LOL!!! LMAO! So, according to your "logic", everything exists. How could that not be the case, when "non existence" is only a concept, not a reality? ROTFL! So here is the crux of theistic "logic": "We'll just DEFINE...

Yep, and the same thumper started two of them, in knee-jerk reaction to the first one. LOL

What kind of buffoon thinks that supports his claim that "Scientific consensus has a history of being wrong when scientific consensus is that they have it all figured out"? Oh yeah: YOU. Circular777 LMAO! Find one quote saying "we scientists have everything figured out." You are...

I find it funny that some theists denigrate science until it seems to "confirm" their Creator theory. There's nothing evidential about the anthropic principle. It has no more substance than the theory about parallel universes. "The anthropic principle is based on the implicit assumption...

In other words, you can't give a specific case. Yeah I didn't think so. :p

Source?

When has that ever been the case? Be specific. Your strawmen are very fragile. :D

The history of science is full of fallible human beings. That is why science is not dependent on any one person or any particular group of persons. Amateur astronomers can make discoveries right along with professional astronomers. Science is a consensus, not a dictatorship. And what you...

I'm not speaking for vhehn here but many physicists believe physics is close to completion. If a unifying theory (the Theory of Everything) can be found that combines both quantum mechanics and general relativity, then we will know basically everything about the universe except "details". Very...
