I'm interested in your questions regarding the Theory of Evolution. [Spirituality & Religion]

@Speedyman There are several of us who could be much more uncharitable to you if we wished

I'm sure you're very kind. @CookieLuvsBunny

@Speedyman


lol wait....

So when i'm pointing out that you've failed to substantiate any of your claims and that you [i]always[/i] fail to do so, preferring instead to make personal comments about me, i'm being insulting.

But when you call me and atheists in general ignorant, deluded, idiotic etc....you're just telling us truths about ourselves?

lol fascinating.

Tell ya what, friend
If you really are interested in reasonable discussions try not telling people so many truths about themselves and focus more on the arguments.
That is to say refuting them, not just saying they're wrong.
Maybe you're telling us truths, maybe you're not. It doesn't matter because either way it is not a productive way to encourage discussion and debate. Assuming that you value either of these things, i hope you'll take that advice under consideration.

Come on guy, love thy neighbour as thyself and do unto others etc.
Turns out that most of us here will be kind to you if you are kind to us.


So let's start fresh here.

My argument for why the bible alone is insufficient evidence for jesus rising from the grave is that
a) there are no extrabiblical sources corroborating this claim and
b) that given the extraordinary nature of the claim, very robust evidence is needed to cause us to reasonably accept said evidence.

While there are certain historical eras that have minimal corrobrating sources (although not so few as you make out), the claims made therein are nothing extraordinary. As such they have a much lower bar to be considered credible.

Those are the main parts of my argument.
I would like to see you specifically address those. Not broad dismissals, mind, but specific rebuttals.
Do so without comment about me personally or atheists in general.

Time for a fresh start. You be kind to me and i'll be kind to you.
Fair?

@Speedyman So argue the point, don't just make critical personal attacks. At least try to prove you are the better man.

@Speedyman

[quote]You have not put down one single argument for your position[/quote]

lol you're right.
Because we haven't gotten far enough to make arguments for or against anything.
Because every time i raise a subject of debate, your tuck your tail and run!
Because you know you can't meet me head on.
Because you know your position is weak.

I'm not winning the argument, genius. It's just that you're [i]forfeiting[/i] 😏

Aaaanyway, you're just going to keep trying to save face while refusing point blank to actually engage on any subject of debate so... thanks for making evolution look more and more legitimate by your fear of contesting it and
Buh bye, coward😁😁😁

Oh dear. What delusion. Thinks he knows the answer when he doesn't even understand the question. Thinks other peopke are ducking out of the argument when he hasn't even ducked into it. What a waste of time trying to reason with people like you is! @Pikachu

@suzie1960 Failed AGI experiment.

@Bushranger It's a bit primitive. Probably a school project introducing young people to robotics.

@suzie1960 To be fair, they did get the misdirection and avoidance subroutines right.

@suzie1960 Well spotted. I missed it at first.

@suzie1960 You have not given any evidence you read anything that you don't agree with. Not very scientific.

@hippyjoe1955 [quote]You have not given any evidence you read anything that you don't agree with.[/quote]
The evidence is right before your eyes. I obviously read your drivel and I don't agree with that.

I didn't seek you out. You just have to put something ignorant on where I was posting and so I have told you about your total ignorance . No seeking out . Just a natural response to ignorance@BigbangFACTS

@Speedyman “right”


You should go pray for my “soul” to your triune deity, which claims to be one

That’ll show me

😂

I pray for your mind that it will learn some sense and not be so gullible @BigbangFACTS

Your problem is that you haven't the faintest idea how life began in the first place so how I can you try and put your 'nothing made something' theory against anything when you don't know if it could ever begin ? It's absolutely pathetic that you cannot see that or rather I think you just choose to ignore it is inconvenient@Pikachu

@Speedyman


*yawn*

Aaaand speedy backs down from yet [i]another[/i] challenge. Funny that...

Your problem is that you're afraid to engage on any specific point because you know you're in over your head, yeah?
Go ahead and prove me wrong by taking up ANY of those points i raised in my previous post......oh, nothing to say on that subject?
lol yeah, thought not😏

[quote]put your 'nothing made something' theory against anything when you don't know if it could ever begin ? [/quote]

Ah and here's ANOTHER problem.
lol that, son, is what's known as a strawman fallacy.
That's not my argument and you know it isn't. It's just the only thing you feel prepared to attack because you don't really get evolution.

Here's two more challenges for you to add to the list of things you're too intellectually cowardly to debate with me:

1) Make the case that there was ever nothing. To my knowledge, no nothing has ever been observed. Demonstrate that nothing is even possible much less the default state.

2) Explain for the class why it is necessary to know how life began in order to observe the evidence that it has since evolved.


Time to put up or shut up, kid.😁👍

The problem is you haven't a clue what you are on about. You don't apoear to know the difference between natural selection (which had always been taken for granted but which Darwin claimed the credit for) and the sort of evolution that Darwin proposed whereby non-living matter evolved into living cells. Now please:
Make the case there was ever something before the Big Bang and that matter is eternal
Make the case as to how life can arise from non-living matter
The burden of proof is on you not me!

@Zaphod42

I think it's obvious that, that's [i]exactly[/i] what i'm saying lol

@SW-User 🙌🏽

@Pikachu Do you benefit from the use of oil in any way - paint , plastic , medical supplies , GAS ? - yea
I thought so - you contribute to the air of today.

@MarmeeMarch

😕
um...yeah. Absolutely. Obviously.
And?

@MarmeeMarch

Well no, an ape wouldn't have turned into a tree because trees existed before apes.

@MarmeeMarch [quote]first there was a cell[/quote]

What was there before the cell?

@Montanaman 🙌🏽

@Montanaman

Yup.

@whoami1993

I'm not ready for that

@MarmeeMarch

lol [i]damn[/i] am i ever under your skin, son!
