To take this into slightly more romantic terms: I like to think that when cavemen first emerged from their caves and gazed up at the stars, after realising that they in fact weren't food, they decided that there must be something bigger than themselves, and God was born. So, I wouldn't exactly...

I think "arrogance" might be too strong a term here. It is simply being acknowledged that we have enormous potential for discovery... potential we have hitherto squandered as a consequence of arguments like yours. This is not to diminish from your faith, or even to say that faith is...

At any other time, I would agree with you, but given the GFC, it probably isn't the best time to be spending billions of dollars on advancing the space program, all benefits aside.

I think that Homophobia is the least understood of all phobias. You know, if a friend of yours says "you know, i'm a claustrophobic.", your response isn't: "Oh you narrow-minded bigot! Clearly you haven't spent enough time in dark, enclosed spaces! Maybe you should meet Mr. Coloured! I'm not...

Some good arguments and some excellent sources- albeit a little misguided in capturing the source of my argument. While the arguments of all non-believers (including myself) on this particular board are aimed against the contemporary Christian view, this is only for the sake of the argument...

Ok. To break this sub-argument down to try and make sense of it for both sides, and any third parties: The issue here arises from the definition of "Abnormality", which would include pregnancy in its categorised definition. This led to the corollary drawn by Spyro that pregnancy can not be...

Yeah, and the Jews that killed Jesus, run the government and caused 9-11 so that they could buy up the world's oil with their Jew Gold are as well. GLORIOUS WHITE WAY OF LIFE? You freakin messed up red-neck. You have no place in this community, I'm sure some crazy pastor in Tennesse will be...

To be fair, while your assessment of the plausibility of Science v. Religion does make sense, there is a how answer to this why question. Why was there something in Mary's womb? Joseph. This forms a corollary with the how question: How did the thing in Mary's womb get there? See also...

Re: Fly me too the the moon, let me sing among the stars...? The counterargument to your lunacy is rather simple, and in fact you said it yourself. You say that there is no benefit from going back to the moon just a few lines after you ask why we haven't gone back to the moon! The mind...

"Just another treat from the gang at EMPIRE RECORDS.":) "****'s Journal 12th October, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning. Tyre tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me, I've seen its true face."

Street Kings. Good one. "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti"

I've had a similar quandry, although even more extreme. I have two texts (Orwell's 1984 and Alan Moore's Watchmen- graphic novel not movie) that I am currently using for Belonging, History and Memory AND Science Fiction in extension 1. I have confirmed with multiple teachers that this is not an...

Effectively this debate has come down to "Do you believe what man says about God?" as opposed to "Do you believe in God?" For me the greatest argument of all against what the theists are currently proposing is of a similar nature to Gerhard's argument, consider the following assumptions: 1...

It must be an open relationship given that the Ferris Wheel gets ridden by several hundred people a day...

Seconded. Bush took no shit from any threats to US security, imagined or otherwise! Much better in that regard than Barack "Neville Chamberlain" Obama...

Shit 'dude', you just got presented with one of the greatest speeches in film history, one that has rational people reeling in awe, with a new found respect for our (to use a cliche) gallant troops, assuming they didn't already, and your response is: 'whatever dude'? COME ON! if you're going to...

Hey guys, Just wondering if you could take some time to read my Sci-Fi story and tell me what you think. This is only first draft, so don't be surprised if you find it somewhat lacking. Specifically, given that it has a lot of time issues, let me know if you can find any continuity or...

Just thought I should say- newbie to oldie- that it is insane how we can disagree on every point under the sun (or just in the politics section) and yet i can see the sense in your arguments. You provide reason to the unreasonable. Now, when you're a self-styled 'ecclesiastical die-hard', then...

True... although it is SO much easier! The flaws within the OT are immense, metaphorical Genesis or otherwise. The problem that your argument poses us Iron, is that most contemporary Christians, when posed with the "your God is a bastard" argument, balk and simply deny the argument altogether...

That's dedication for you. Unfortunately I'm also drawin a blank, so in the interest of keeping the game going, I'm gonna chuck one out there. I hope Klaris can forgive me :) "The fact that you have replica written down the side of your gun, and the fact that I have Desert Eagle .50 written...
