DocSavage Do you even have a fucking clue as to what you are talking about?
Well, I try. I fuck it up all the time. The same as anyone else, I'm not special in any way. It's all opinion. A gathering of data, which includes misinformation, disinformation. All the rage these days it seems. I'm just like you or anyone else. Trying to sort it out. I tend to fuck the presentation up much more than the sentiment behind it. I'm in a hurry. It doesn't come out right.
You say the end is near.
See? I fuck things up all the time. In hindsight, my flippant satirical click bait wasn't necessarily the best choice. To me, near is a relative term. To someone immortal, having existed forever, or spirit creatures having existed probably for billions of years, the approximate existence of man according to the Bible, that is 6,000 years, is to them like a weekend to us. Like in dog years to us. Near is in God years.
Sorry. There I go again. It's too tempting. Atheist are so hysterically predictive. That trigger is just soooo tempting.
I did point out that the end times began when Adam and Eve's first child was born.
How do you come to that conclusion ? You quote the Bible as a reference, but imply the religion based on it is shit.
Did I? I mean, in this thread? See, I just respond to notifications. But, yeah, that's true. I'm always on about that. The religions based upon the Bible are shit. That isn't even controversial. It isn't even contrary to the Bible. The chosen people rejected God. He dissolved their covenant. The religious leaders who awaited thousands of years for a messiah nailed him to a tree when he got here because they wanted a military leader. Christians are the same. Paul foretold that they would prefer myth and fables over truth. And they have.
You shouldn't sweep truth under the rug. When you search for truth you have to accept it. You shouldn't change it to suit your whim. When I say people are idiots, which I often do, I'm not excluding myself.
We are idiots.
You bring up the flood.
[Heavy sigh] I don't want to talk about science right now. Please don't make this about science.
Of which there is no evidence to imply that it actually happen, and abundant evidence to show that it could not have happen.
There it is.
So?
You don’t seem to care much for science or physical proof that disproves faith based claims.
You keep posting threads that make no sense what so ever.
Look. I don't see this as relevant. There are nearly 8 billion people in the world. There are nearly 8 billion beliefs. If you want to make them all believe exactly what you believe, and you think that will usher in some enlightened utopian paradigm - if they could all just think like you - then you are going to be a very unhappy person.
It really seems myopic to me to think that the possession of "evidence" settles arguments. Evidence is like coins. There are two sides to every one and they can be stolen, bought, sold and traded. We debate these things and to outsiders who stumble into our arena we look really stupid and petty. And we are. Part of the reason for that is we are all stumbling around in the dark and the other part, probably the more obvious part, is that we have trouble accepting that not everyone sees the "evidence" the way we see it.
For the sake of the argument I do, at times, tolerate that egotistical monstrosity that is undoubtedly a part of me, but, man, I tell you . . . I can walk away from it like turning on a dime.
You want to talk about the flood? Start a thread, but I can't promise you anything.
And I like science. I love to learn. What I don't like is to be preached to. I want to learn. I know. Believers don't learn. Well, this one does.
On my website I use science, a failed preacher of a mega church, an atheist and androids (note the avatar) in an illustration of how science and technology has been suppressed by conflicts of interest and how it could solve not all, but many of mankind's problems.

So I don't have anything against science. At least not any more than I do religion. They are both endeavors of mankind that have been corrupted and always will be as long as we are living in a sinful environment. I think that when Jehovah God destroys the world - not the planet, just the world - science will flourish like it never has before. And that's great. I hope I get to see it.
