I believe in the Hebrew God. I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I believe in the literal 6 day Creation. And I believe in a "Young Earth". There was no gap between Genesis 1 verse 1 and 2. Adam was the first man.

Prove me wrong.

And I believe in the great giraffe of Black and White. Who has brought many blessing and misery simultaneously to this world. And as a proud giraffer, I grant you the freedom of believing what ever you want as long as you do the same to me.

Notice that every photo of it has you in it...

Argh.. Pictures

Say, Zain, what is you take on Islam and Judaism? Honestly .

Pragmatic Agnosticism. Basically, if god(s) do(es) exist, then they obviously don't care about us so why should we care about them

That is one of the silliest things I have heard. If god(s) are god(s) in the normal sense, then hey would have to interfere. Not care about us? No hate, no love? Then they are not god(s) but simply another being(s).

Bah, just stick with atheism. Lot less tightrope walking you have to do... Just saying that previous paragraph makes me lose all faith in higher beings...

I don't.

Prove me wrong.

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, idea. These threads always get locked.

And why would I waste my time proving something to someone who refuses to listen to science? You have your beliefs, be happy and live your own life. No need to scream out your beliefs in public . Not to mention, why antagonise Backroomers over pointless discussions?

Seriously, "prove me wrong"? Well, fine, I will let you have this one :P, tell me how to prove you wrong . How can I prove a cut-in-stone text wrong to its ardent believer? Why should I?

Why should I have to prove something you believe is wrong?

You had me at Loki

Sure, but I have to go to work. I'll quite happily cross swords with you later.

Don't forget, Karma is an ever-changing thing. We can influence it here and now.

Have you ever played chess against a pigeon?

Didn't that bloke who compiled the bible you seem to think is right say that people who do literal interpretations of scripture and argue scripture against science are just dumb people of little faith who make a mockery of Christianity.

Perhaps you can prove that someone who you beleive was really wrong, but that would be proving yourself wrong.
So you have to prove that you don't believe someone you do believe which errrrr......proves you wrong.

Cretinists eh?
You put up the board, place the pieces.
Then they flap their wings knock over the chess set, defecate on the board and squawk that they have just won a grand masters tournament.

This is Genius.

Compared to Genesis

*Picks up a fossil and throws it over your head*

the next one will fly lower!

I am done with this discussion.

That Bible wasn't generally taken litteraly until the 11th century or so. Were early christians more wrong then you?

Now, as there's no real content in your first post, I don't expect this thread to live longer than a few hours. Care to elaborate and post a real topic which we can discuss?

I'm going to assume that mentioning things like fossil records, humanoids, signs of evolution, geology, astronomy, radiometric dating, archeological findings isn't gonna help much here so I'll start with asking you some questions.

How long ago did God create earth?

When was the flood?

How did God kill the animals that breathe water?
How did Noah do to cram in over 60.000 animals, (Vertebrate) many of them carniviours, in a less than 40.000m3 large boat and keeping about a year's supplies on it? The Bible is quite silent on this matter, even while giving a very weak hint that God did protect the plants for being under 8850 meters of water for about a year.
(Which asks the question on why building the boat in the first place, but I digress).

Last tuesday, just before teatime.
Prove me wrong , it is written so it is true as it is true as it is written.

Wednesday afternoon , surprising really as the day started out so nice , but you know how quick the weather can change.

By being a god
God helped him with gods magic

Ah, that was just god having a laugh with noah at his expense.
Gods can have a sense of humour too you know , just look at the ornithorhynchus anatinus , god absolutely wet himself laughing when he thought that joke up.

Explain this, and this and our weak this.

Thats God, and god ....oh and god again
I mean come on, if someone can dream up a platypus for a laugh then dreaming up an appendix that doesn't do anything but can kill you if it stops doing its nothing is really childs play.

Seriously Gods platypus joke would get sold out at the top venues year after year at edinburgh.
On the other hand the appendix routine might get a few tickets sold to close friends in a one off event in a small upstairs room at the back of an unpopular pub if the festival was really short of acts.

Of course you believe.

I don't think I believe, I'm still making up my mind on the matter.

Let's respect each others' viewpoints and carry on, shall we?

Anyone who uses the argument of "Prove me wrong" when they haven't proved anything needs to be shot.

Repeat the process till all the worlds idiots are dead.

The null hypothesis dictates that you are already wrong in the first place. So there is no need for to "prove you wrong" as there is no "this is proof I am right".

But if you did it you could demonstrate a type of evolution, removal from the gene pool of those whose brains are unable to adapt to their environment...survival of the smartest .

True.

I would prefer all the smart people left to form a colony on another world or live onaboard giant space biosphere, making a paradise, while we left all the idiots behind to destroy themselves.

Apart from some contributions I do not see this thread going any other direction than downhill (i.e. simply posting "witty" remarks and personal attcks)

We had a number of threads around this topic in the past - it seems that to motivate people to re-visit this topic and bring some fresh views to it, it might also be a good idea to invest more time in an opening post that would encourage more thoughtful responses.
