nah, virgin births predate the Bible two a penny. Now you mention it though, genetically modified crops were predicted in Jack and the Beanstalk.

No big deal. Other Gods were doing that a thousand years or two before Job's God got on the scene. For instance, Sumar era has a God for just about everything to do with society, mankind, culture, the earth, creation and the universe. It's quite obvious Job's God copied some, altered some then...

I wouldn't go near your nuts with an Ark full of creationists. It's your contradictory double standard pseudo-science bullshit that's bust.

I think you'll find an Axiom is a proposition the truth of which is accepted as self-evident. That is somewhat more than just reasonable assumption. An axiom being more of a saying that is generally accepted. I see what you mean but scientific theories have facts or axioms within but are not...

Science is, well , scientific, not religious. Nor is it a doctrine. Secular politics and statecraft are obviously not religious functions either. The existence of society is not dependent upon religion. Societies clearly evolve, and are primarily occupied with temporal concerns. Generally...

Ah, now come on guys... Surely, you believe nothin' X nothin' = God? :D

So you're saying you disregard everything that doesn't fit your world view. um no, <s>Science</s> You are the one who disregards everything that does not fit your world view. Projecting your self-proclaimed religious pseudo-scientific shortfalls onto science, does not make science fall...

Seriously though, isn't it a bit worrying to be thinking an imaginary friend is looking out for you, past say the age of 10 years old ?

yt, It appears you are suggesting it's generally better just to hold a false sense of security.

You're welcome.

I would say those circumstances would not call for the next course of action to include having lunch, reading a book, nor indulging myself along with those who default toward the foolish practice of self-serving superstitious prayer rituals to an imaginary deity in a pretence to be doing...

Did you mean a conscious act act of non-compliance? If so, in your use of the wrong word "conscience", lies the answer to your question I think. "I have no choice but to honestly follow my conscience." Personally I could not stoop to devoting conscious recognition to a pretend...

If you like, but you're still a hippy stu! :p

Are you asking me that because you can't think of anything other than it must be God behind it ? So according to what it is I understand you believe, it must be God causing a person to act badly seeing how God invented sin and has already decided who will sin. I'm simply suggesting to...

There is no God given free will. The ability to choose not to sin or not to have sin when you are supposed to be born with it, just doesn't wash. On the other hand, the use of duplicitous religious double speak is a choice.

Credit where it is due then. You recognize we are discussing an irrational act of blind faith. It's the blind faith of bringing no rational enquiry to an idea that a dead jewish zombie is not, well....dead. So a blind contradictory faith. But apparently not just irrational. Ridiculous and...

Faith that does not submit itsself to reasoning for any ratification is blind faith. The self perpetuation of an idea made possible by excluding any rational questioning of it. ....and so it seems worse than I thought. What you appear to be suggesting is you're blindly hoping, along with a...

.....which boils down to a pleading for the desire (hope) of something unquantifiable and illogical (called God). You're hoping for something you can't understand !

"The facts are - if the Judeo-Christian account is true (and I know it is) -" the problem with that is.. The facts are - if the Judeo-Christian account is not true (and I know it is not)- .... your apologist description of God is one of a most depraved and perverse, ironically even...
