musKeeto: A family friend would say - when you're in a hole, stop digging. It just removes all doubts with regard to your stupidity. Now read your own post again. God created man... man chose, of his own freewill, to be disobedient... However you ask - but God created corruption no? (obviously a trick question that is not borne out of a genuine curiosity about God but mere to satisfy a preconceived notion) Mr. Anony responds that corruption is not created but is merely a deviation from the norm God handed down to man. your response? More like saying how can one create rust? I respond - corruption, like rust, cannot exist in a vacuum. Your vacuous answer? - "except you're saying God created humans in a vacuum"... Ok now let us address the obvious nonsense up there... first of all when we were talking about the rust example... the DEVIATION from the norm (i.e. rust) was what we said could not exist in a vacuum. Certainly iron can exist... since it is a thing. Rust however is NOT a created entity that can exist independently of iron, it is rather a chemical reaction that REQUIRES the prior existence of 2 independent materials - iron and oxygen. Ditto for man... God created humans as an independent entity... so just like iron, we do EXIST as a thing. However, our CHOICE to disobedience is just like RUST... it is NOT created but is merely a product/reaction borne out of our own natural choice. Iron is not meant to rust but as long as it remains exposed to air and water, that is a chemical reaction bound to happen. |

davidylan: Like I said earlier..
davidylan:And so man was not meant to 'sin' but as long as it/we remained exposed to freewill and the tree of knowledge of good and evil, a natural reaction was bound to happen... Like your family friend would say

musKeeto: Again you're simply posting to save face. The above would be exactly why i used the iron and rust analogy except disobedience, like rust, is not really a "natural" reaction since iron was not created solely to rust! Keep iron away from moisture and it will stay pristine forever. The same way we were not created to sin as a "natural reaction" (a silly escape route for folks like you quick to blame God for your own bad choices), we sin only when we stray of our own freewill to do the contrary to God's nature in us. |

Mr_Anony: Anony, we aren't debating evil, we are trying to determine if it's possible to be omniscient. You are starting from the premise that the being already is omniscient without showing how it became so, or if it is even possible. Again, you are already assuming that the being is omniscient before showing it is possible. You are the one starting from the wrong place. This is simple, there is no way, from the very first, our magician could determine it actually was omniscient. It was never omniscient, it could never even reach that point. It's unverifiable, just like me saying there are supernatural or simply other universes out there that we cannot contact, it's unverifiable, we can thus dismiss my claims as nonsense. But this case is even worse, how can he know what he doesn't know? Do you understand? Mr_Anony: This was what you asked Mr_Anony: This was my response Wiegraf: If that was your aim, you should have asked the question differently, or used another one entirely. I knew what you were driving at from the get go; Anony: Which greatly aids my point about omniscience. From my previous post: Wiegraf: The earlier post Wiegraf: ...and earlier still Wiegraf: Eventually adding 'experience' your initial assertion did improve it, but by that point I wanted to hammer it into you that your initial assertion wouldn't get you were you wanted to go to, and also that it was wrong. Mr_Anony: Did you read the links? It's technology being used today, not as accurate as it could be but still, it's in use today and is actively being developed. That statement is similar to me 5 years ago saying we'll be using SSD's in 10 years time. Unless there was some unexpected paradigm shift, it was going to happen. Companies had invested then and they are now indeed rolling them out. Random: Then you call me illogical... You best be trollin... You make assumption upon assumption, most of them unverifiable, and inject your subjectivity into every.single.thing... You run off on unverifiable tangents as soon as you get excited... Try to keep it objective EDIT: Quotes to provide context, clarity, grammar (sort of) |
Re: To All The Atheists by cyrexx: 9:59am On Sep 26, 2012 |
davidylan: and if you bothered to shed your bias and read his posts objectively, you might get the full gist of what he is saying. But no. A foul-mouthed hypocritical douchebag like you cant see anything but open his dirty hypocritical mouth and rain invectives unnecessarily and yet hypocrites like you think they are morally better than non-believers. |
Re: To All The Atheists by Nobody: 10:03am On Sep 26, 2012 |
wiegraf: Using phone Ah i actually love this line of reasoning. Now if only we could extend it to the long sleep-inducing list of stuff atheists like you constantly regale us about evolution, abiogenesis... you know those things that you all talk about already assuming that they exist without ever showing us how. You people generally start from the wrong place. It is simple, there is no way, from the very first, our resident magicians (popularly known as pseudo-scientists) could determine that evolution was true. It never happened. How could RNA just appear from primordial soup? It is unverifiable. Just like me saying a monkey is a product of millions of years of mutating bacteria that we cannot replicate. Its unverifiable, we can thus dismiss all your claims as nonsense. |
Re: To All The Atheists by Nobody: 10:05am On Sep 26, 2012 |
cyrexx: Actually he wasnt making any shred of sense not to talk of it being objective. He kept misconstruing the issue... at one point we are discussing rust being a consequence/reaction to an action i.e. iron being exposed to moisture and he immediately equates humans with rust rather than iron? Again just another hurt atheist who feels bad that there are some willing to stand up to ignorant crybabies whose only means of assuaging their troubled and empty consciences is by cyber bullying. Cant stand the heat? Stay in your father's bedroom bro. |
Re: To All The Atheists by cyrexx: 10:12am On Sep 26, 2012 |
davidylan: do you think you are making any sense? If what you can do is to open your dirty gutter and do some cyberbully and then think you are making any impact as to foolishly believe you are making crybabies. Think again, cos you are not making any sense. You are just trolling |
Re: To All The Atheists by Nobody: 10:14am On Sep 26, 2012 |
cyrexx: and your proof of this is? Until you show me where i havent made sense then i conclude you are merely bleating in frustration. Go sit down dude or take a cold shower. Let those who actually have something cerebral to contribute have the floor. you've always been nothing but a wingman. Egging the others on, chipping in with an abuse here and there but never really taking a stand on anything... apparently because you have pretty much no core when it comes to your alleged convictions. |

davidylan: di, lan david, lan, dav, I, land and davididlan landav I'd lan Is my davidylan good enough for you? I'm still working on it. Don't bother replying, I don't read your posts |
Re: To All The Atheists by Nobody: 10:42am On Sep 26, 2012 |
wiegraf: But they disturb you enough to quote them? Absurd. Of course why should you read my posts? I dont have the patience of the likes of Mr. Anony, i simply call BS right out of the box. |

davidylan: lol! Davidylan appears again! speaking of magicians ![]() ![]() ![]() Like every evolutionary biologist will tell you, the problem is not whether we evolved from simple organisms (there is overwhelming evidence to prove this). Rather that we came from a primordial soup. Now this is one of many other suggestions to what the origin of the first organisms must have been. Other ideas believe comets full of water and simple life organisms crashed to earth and blossomed to what we have now. No one will tell you either of these is a fact, but they will present you with reasonable evidence to defend their position. Having said this, you do know scientists have been able to reproduce amino acids from a combination of gasses and an electric charge? Give them more time and they'll find the missing piece. Your idea to drop everything simply because one piece doesn't add up is simply ludicrous. Einstein's equation of general relativity didn't add up either at first when he used the cosmological constant. A few years later with plenty experimenting and observation, they fixed that problem and it all adds up perfectly on the right hand side of that equation. Imagine if he took your approach now to dump everything cos one little piece didn't add up? You will make a good scientist if you didn't substitute god where your understanding stops. Your solution (or lack of it) leaves us worse of from where we started. Daddy big boss made everything happen? lol I need not elaborate more on this. damn!!! I just saw the finest booty walk past downstairs my window!! now i've lost my chain of thought! ![]() |

davidylan: and you have been proven several times to be a quack scientist with nothing upstairs. What you lack in sensibility you attempt to make up for with dirty stinking foul-mouthed abuses. Fake christian and fake scientist. |

Ihedinobi: What do you call a biologist that rejects evolution? What do you call a christian that insults and then goes on to call atheists abusive, intolerant and hypocrites? Answer; Davidylan ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: To All The Atheists by Nobody: 12:11pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
Area_boy: Given how easily you lose your chain of thought, how are we to believe that you kept it close enough to follow all that "reasonable evidence" you're gloating over? Think you can keep it close enough to produce the most significant of that evidence so that we can examine it? |
Re: To All The Atheists by Nobody: 12:12pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
davidylan: Was man created to sin? No. Is sin a deviation from the original purpose of man's creation? Yes. What did man need to sin? Freewill and a tree in the middle of the garden. But freewill doesn't necessarily lead to sin? Of course. But it is necessary if one wants to sin. Mr_Anony: Who provided man the tools necessary for sin to occur? Your guess is as good as mine... You and Anony below.. ![]() 1 Like |
Re: To All The Atheists by Nobody: 12:16pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
MacDaddy01: Silly questions really, seeing as you think that evolution is a science and therefore a biologist cannot reject it. Is it really? And why should we believe it is? Second question is all the more silly because it assumes that certain pronouncements are insolent and abusive. But then, is it possible to insult a mad man by calling him crazy? Or to abuse a fool by telling him that his reasoning is empty? What you think? |
Re: To All The Atheists by cyrexx: 12:18pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
Ihedinobi: the bible says by their fruit you shall know them. He is not bearing any fruit at all. He is no christian neither a knowledgeable scientist by any standard and dont ask me questions to which you already know the answer. Dont start the art of dodging the obvious like your friend. Lets save the usual back and forth for another time. |
Re: To All The Atheists by Nobody: 12:20pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
musKeeto: Seriously, I keep giving you guys benefit of the doubt only for you to keep proving yourselves incapable of thought and hence unworthy of the hand-up. Is freewill necessary to doing right? Yes or no? If no, is it possible to qualify any action at all that is done without freewill? |
Re: To All The Atheists by Nobody: 12:26pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
cyrexx: which is it? the bible is real and its words taken seriously or merely to be used as a hypocritical stick to beat christians with? Make up your mind you despicable weasel. IF the bible is a book of fairy tales then why are you worried about my "fruits"? lol as for not being a "knowledgeable scientist"... ![]() |
Re: To All The Atheists by MacDaddy01: 12:26pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
Ihedinobi: Ignorance. Biologists overwhelmingly support evolution. When you call people fools and airheads, is that not an insult or do you really think that atheists are fools? |
