And the alternative is Adam and Eve-----
The Rock fell---we actually know that.
Adam and Eve is story telling.
Sophistication at its prime.
So we have some great falling rock to thank for our existence?
Wow very sophisticated thinking....

God is no fairy tale, he is very real but in our human attempt to appear clever we have in fact become fools my friend.
It's quite obvious.
People start drifting from the truth and in turn try to make up a whole new truth that is so implausible and needs more faith to make it plausible.

Bible a fairy tale????What do you base this assumption on???
Doesn't it mean anything to you that a book that was completed some two thousand years ago is still the most read book on the planet?

This is a book that has not gone out of fashion because it was inspired by a higher power and not by flawed human intelligence.
Ruby, you obviously haven't read or understood the bible enough to get on your high horse!
Does God Exist?
Yes a rock fell and what next???
Or was it two rocks??? Male and female
Sounds like a classic case of 'a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous'...
Yes the bible does mention atrocities/rape/wars.....but in no way does the author condone such behaviour.
Humans still rape and commit murder and God in no way approves but it goes to highlight what human nature is capable of when there is separation from God. You just have to look at society these days to understand just how barbaric we can really be.
...which one?
I have arguments against the god of the bible (problem of evil/unnecessary suffering, argument from non-belief, argument from inconsistent revelations).
There are also speculative arguments against the universe requiring a creator, for example, the various different interpretations of quantum theory (string theory etc.) and what each has to say about the initial conditions of the universe and possible "pre"-conditions before The Universe As We Know It came into existence. I highly doubt that a personal, intelligent creator is responsible. When I look out into reality, all I see is nature. It's quite glaringly obvious, actually. It's a shame people can't embrace reality, instead clinging on to comfortable delusion... such a shame.
I think it's pretty clear. Now tell me your version of the truth!
The fact that you indulge in sarcasm, entirely unnecessarily, won't help your case. If you do have a genuine case to make, you should have sufficient confidence in it to do so without being rude to other posters.So we have some great falling rock to thank for our existence?
Wow very sophisticated thinking....
That is truly one of the silliest questions I've ever seen posed on a forum.As I said in my previous post... How can we deduct that God doesn't exist if we can't answer basic questions such as when to introduce a simple nut or an egg to an infant's diet???
Again, utter nonsense. You are dismissing all the scientific and humanitarian advances made by human beings. Would you have us return to the barbaric times of the Bible?After so called billions of years of evolution humanity really hasn't made great inroads.
That is a total non-response, and prevarication at its worst.I think it's pretty clear. Now tell me your version of the truth!
Again you are being rude in the face of another poster offering her own point of view. You have no grounds to be so dismissive. You have no way of knowing how much of the Bible Ruby may have read. She probably has the capacity to dismiss what she sees as irrelevant.Ruby, you obviously haven't read or understood the bible enough to get on your high horse!
"The author"? Who is this author? Are you suggesting there is a single author of the entire Bible?Sounds like a classic case of 'a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous'...
Yes the bible does mention atrocities/rape/wars.....but in no way does the author condone such behaviour.
Again, utterly simplistic and unrealistic. There is much rape and murder committed in the name of various gods.Humans still rape and commit murder and God in no way approves but it goes to highlight what human nature is capable of when there is separation from God. You just have to look at society these days to understand just how barbaric we can really be.
Quite so, roland.I'm continually amazed at the passion shown by firm believers in the bible and the lengths they go to to incite debates where there can be no other outcome than a stalemate.
I've noticed that bullsvsbears has all but 6 posts in the ASF forum devoted to religion and wonder if he or she is really in the correct forum.
Oh, for god's sake (blasphemy intended): do we really need yet another thread on religion? Did you consider, bullsvsbears, looking for existing threads and adding your redundant comments to one of those?
(
um scroll back.
he did not start this thread.
and as for God.......he lives in Geraldton WA with the rest of the bewtiful ppl.
