Quote from TraderZones:
seeing you stepped around the meat of the argument...
there is no more or less evidence for the existence of God than for God to not exist
People who say "there is no God have zero "proof" and expect that offering their own minuscule belief is somehow more cerebral than the minuscule who say "there is a God."
Something like 40-60% of Americans are theistic evolutionists. They believe in God and they believe in evolution. The number who disbelieve in God and believe in evolution is much smaller. So it is hardly a minority opinion to be a theistic evolutionist.
The only evidence most atheists offer for no God is to try and taint theists. But the evidence from theists is rarely more convincing.

i would say you are the moron. it is the gullible like you that allow the scammers to make money badmouthing our food system. i grew us as a farmer and have spent all my working life in the food growing or food transportation business. i know how food was grown and transported and i know how food is now grown and transported.Quote from Anaconda:
You're a proven moron if you believe that. Obviously your taste buds have lost the ability to recognize dead artificial food from real food.
sure there are still problems but do you know how it used to be before modern food regulations? people who long for the good old days have no clue.Quote from Optionspoet:
The comments made are based on factual evidence that the food and water supply has been compromised in pursuit of mass production and profits. The findings have been verified by independent researchers, govt agencies and the companies themselves. Many countries have banned certain practices when faced with the dominating amount of evidence.
we know for a fact the flood story in the bible was a myth. what does that do to your theory?Quote from Eight:
I've studied this food situation longer than half the atheists posting here have been alive.
Human dentition is not for meat, our teeth are made for ripping an apple apart and chewing it... yet we cannot get all the nutrition we need anywhere on the planet without eating some meat. All that is from the Anthropological knowledge base we have in this modern world... what that points to is the Bible story, before the Flood the recommended diet was plants and after the Flood meat was added... it's there in Genesis and it could not be more plainly stated... so the flood changed the earth more radically than even Bible readers understand...
Regarding this horrible food supply we have, wow, you can supplement Omega3's if nothing else and be fairly healthy but it really is a horror story. Our health reflects it perfectly, insanity, cancer, you name it, it's rampant... no wonder we sit in front of computers and televisions all day, it's all we are up to...
Quote from jprad:
Sorry to touch such a raw nerve, but it really was an honest question.
Do they also believe that Man was created in God's image?
If, so then explain a fossil record which, as far as we can tell, indicates that life has existed for about 550 million years and experienced at least 5 major extinction events that have wiped out 99% of the biological diversity that once lived.
Is it all just a case of God having a few hundred million years to kill until the universe settled down enough so that he could get on with it?
Or, are these people hedging their bets, just in case?
therefore all traders who do not believe in god have failed and all who believe in god are wealthy? do some of you people even think before you post?Quote from college_trad3r:
if you believe in god you are most like a personal opportunist.
Thats a good quality for a trader.
ergo, a trader who does not believe in god is doomed to fail.
Quote from Eight:
hee hee, I get a laugh every time i see these "millions of years facts" thrown around.. If a person doesn't have the Bible and read it the best they can do is wander around in the dark... universities that produced these facts have classes in Philosophy where they develop good arguments and good logic.. they know that circular reasoning is a bad argument.. then the student can go right down the hall to the geology / anthropology class and be told "we calibrate the strata by the geologic column" and "we calibrate the geologic column by the strata"... but not on the same day, or in the same part of the textbook. They have to separate those two notions otherwise people would stand up and say "hey, this is bullshit, the definition of calibration is comparison to a known standard and these assclowns don't have one".. then, since everything has to fit the new and improved world view of evolution, they throw out all measurements that don't fit that fantasy land they've created... 70-80% of scientific measurements regarding the age of things are thrown out because they don't fit the world view... who is stupider, modern science or the medieval church?? They both operate the same and they won / win the arguments through political power and nothing else...
LOL...
