Porn is evolutionary

[GoreBag]

My posts are never incoherent. Perhaps I should make it a habit to dumb down my big words and elaborate sentences so as those with an "ape past" can understand them better.

He didn't say they were, but trust me, your words aren't big enough for me.

Blah blah, I didn't evolve.

Fight the power.

So according to this article, we were porn this way.

Booooo!

I hate to sideline the thread, but I have an important philosophical point for Navaros to consider- your wording suggests that you know you did not evolve from Monkeys, but rather were created by God. This is a fallacy, because when it comes to understanding reality and religion, you cannot know anything. The correct terminology is always "I believe..."

Every religious person, including myself, has a certain belief; but we cannot know anything, because "knowledge" is a purely philosophical phenomenon. Saying that you know anything pertaining to religion or philosophy makes you come off as looking like a gasbag, and people stop listeing to you.

But...you call yourself Gnostic.

But...you call yourself Gnostic.

And Navaros is a Christian. It doesn't mean any religious people KNOW anything. But I THINK I am discovering the Truth, and that is the point of Gnosticism- that the truth will set you free. What is the truth? You have to find that out for yourself. That's the point; it can't be knowledge if it can't be taught. And anyone who says they can tell you the way to enlightenment (*cough* Buddha *cough*) is a lying gasbag.

That is an extremely innacurate definition, not least because the Gnostics predate Christianity by at least 200 years.

And don't tell me I don't know my own damn religion.

Speaking of which, they just found Brad Pitt's midget ancestor. Or perhaps it's a freakishly-aged dwarf, or a false arrangement of rocks planted by the Great Deceiver.

Or did they... Edit: Nevermind, I am an idiot. I make alot of mistakes. Sorry.
And another thing, who can we really trust. Scientists that make mistakes all of the time or the omnipotent and omniscient God of the Bible?

To each his own.

Another typical moral relativist arguement. Are you absolutely sure there are no absolutes?

Or did they... link

Your article references the wrong fossils. I have no doubt that creationontheweb.com will produce an article about the new find soon enough, however.

I'm sure you mean well, but we're well-supplied with creationists already. What we could really use would be more royalists, and maybe a couple of flat earthers. We're also dangerously low on Scientologists. Please let us know if you could fill any of these needs.

Well, lacking a fertile imagination, I like to go with people that are real.

Always wondered why someone that's omnipotent and omniscient can miss so much and be so clumpsy.
For staters, the Lucifer incident and the forbidden fruit incident. Needing to rest?

I'm just telling you because you're using a general Greek word (that precedes Christianity by countless years) that means you have particular knowledge.

Well, my own understanding of Gnosticism is that is the process of seeking knowledge- as in, all knowledge in general- as well as the thruth about life, the universe, and everything. And no, I am not satified with 42. **** 42.

Anyway, my point was that you cannot know that which is technically unknowable, just as you cannot percieve more than three dimensions, or understand more than four... unless you're a nerd, as my Chemistry teacher once so eloquently put it.

(Actually, he was talking about the fact that you can describe a moving car as a wave rather than an object, but he had decided to stop several years ago, because 1) it freaked people out and 2) you would not describe your car as a wave anyway; "...you wouldn't be talking about the wavelength of your car anyway, and if you do, you're a nerd." It was funny.)

I am pretty sure Buddhist try and find enlightenment thru personal meditation, not by being told what to meditate on to achieve nirvana. The Buddha was a million miles away from being a lying gasbag. I understand your point but you should have used a better religious icon as a reference for a gasbag. Maybe Jim Baker?
