Fat lot of good that will do anyone. Prayer is nothing more than a magic spell without a wand. What you going to do, send a scripture from Harry Potter ?
A scientist and a priest are walking on a wet beach when they see hoof tracks in the sand. The scientist says, "Judging from all the evidence that is available to me, I say a horse has run along the beach and left those tracks, even though I did not witness the horse running by with my own eyes."
The priest replies, "There's also the possibility that a unicorn left those tracks."
@SomeMichGuy I'm sniping at the anti science movement, like Godspeed. Christianity relies on faith, defined as belief without evidence. People believe in God, despite there being zero actual evidence for his existence. Science uses peer reviewed evidence and experiments and builds on knowledge already discovered. Believers simply believe without evidence. The allegory illustrated that fact. It's a solid allegory and exactly sums up the two ideas. The scientist builds on knowledge to understand a horse rode by. The man of faith holds onto the possibility that it might have been a unicorn, something for which no evidence exists.
@Richard65 Science is about what is measurable and repeatable, and I actually am traines in it and am not a creationist, "Bible is science", etc., person.
@SomeMichGuy it is true. Faith is the bedrock of religious movements, such as Christianity. Jesus said, "have faith." Faith is defined as belief WITHOUT evidence. If you say evidence exists then you have no need of faith and your entire theological house of cards collapses. I was brought up in the faith. I just saw through it eventually. If you say evidence exists then you don't understand your belief system properly. Faith doesn't need evidence. That's the entire point.
Do you believe in the functions of mathematics? 2+2 means 4, no? I can calculate it. You can calculate it. A person from Papua New Guinea can calculate it. But, they need to know how to do basic mathematics to do that.
It's the same with the rest of the science. 90% of it. Go master geology, rock formation, chemistry, physics, biology and most needed sciences and you'd maybe be convinced. Because you don't believe experts (independent or not) and the evidence they show.
There is zero evidence of God as well, so not believing in deities does not equal hate. I choose to believe in the Abrahamic God, but that doesn't make me right about anything.
@SomeMichGuy if there was evolution on very large timescale, we would be seeing some species between monkey and human. As we see green leaves, dry leaves, and leaves in between green leaves and dry leaves.
Why do people keep bait posting about things they previously bait posted about Numerous times Over as many years Just to get the same arguments Every time Every post ?
@NOS4R2 🤔 there might be something in what you say. If one is so predictable, then your contenders are going to adapt. Keep changing your game and you'll catch them flat-footed. I'm sure Sun Tzu said something like that
Quote-All they have is a lot of nice drawings and art work, and artifacts that is either tampered with or, more times than not, misinterpreted.You described the bible and religion in general .
The bible claims the earth is flat. The same evidence against evolution supports it, if you believe in one you are bound by your faith to believe in the other. Where’s you proof of a flat Earth ?, with your evidence for Creationism.

There's so much evidence for evolution that the Catholic church accepted it years ago. Why don't you?
@GodSpeed63 Outside of this site , no one knows a single thing about your true self. And that is counting only this site. Imagine how many people must loathe you in reality.along with those that do know you personally. I, prefer to stick with the idea of live and let live. Too much effort hating strangers. Of course, since god doesn’t live. That makes it all the more pointless.
You still haven't shown any support to that statement. The Truth of God is hated very much in this fallen world. As for these people on here, Doc, I do not hate them, including you. These people on here matter to me which is why I challenge them with the Truth that God has established before the foundations of the earth. You can make a mockery of it all you like but you need to know that your mockery comes from your distorted mind of hatred. Learn to love others as Jesus loves you. Good day to you.

And I have no intention of doing so. God wants my belief, he’s the one that needs to convince me. As far as he and his kid are nothing more than fantasy characters. You have no evidence, you can’t prove anything, why should I provide it ? He’s not my god.
@GodSpeed63 You’re the only that spends all your time saying nothing to begin with. What difference will it make. It’s not like you have a point to make.
