The video is the worst kind of reverse engineering logic. We know the earth supports life, lets see how many ways we can shoehorn this into our religious view of creation. It reminds me of the culture who thought the earth was on back of a giant turtle. It made perfect sense to them with what they knew at the time. Just like the video makes sense if you already believe that way. I like the turtle idea better. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It simply lays out an argument based on the impossible odds that we or anything is here by just random chance. Why don't you try to wrestle with the points he makes rather than continue to avoid and insult. I just don't understand you. Are you sure you were not the one who already believes a certain way and is not open to other thoughts? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Yet it is about religion, isn't it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | I think it is about the question of God. The fact that you immediately jumped to some religious shoehorning is a sign to me that you aren't ready to listen to evidence and hear the question. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

I didn't hear any evidence. Do you know at one time we thought civilization consisted of a few hundred square miles in the Middle East? For them to postulate on how many earth like planets there might be is just silly. They don't have enough info. I like the saying that the universe is not only bigger than you imagine, it's bigger than you CAN imagine.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | The universe is not bigger than we can imagine and we now know alot about it. We especially know alot about the requirements for life. It is God who is bigger than you or any of us can imagine. For proof take a look at the response I gave SL when he asked about the evidence required for court in the Original Sin thread. He never answered and I guess SL never will. You can take up where (s)he left off. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

That's a really interesting statement. Can you truly imagine billions of light years? I'm asking, not challenging. I have trouble imagining 1,000 kilometers without a map. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | Walmart made a $10 mistake in my bill today, didn't catch it till I got home. Not a dilemma for me, but for some Xtions it is. I know a Xtion woman who was praying for money and Target made a $25 mistake and undercharged her. Not only did she not make it right, she still praises Jesus for it to this day. Atheists have no such moral dilemmas, we know the right thing to do. Religion hasn't screwed with our heads. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Whose prayers did he answer? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
