Does Evolution Really Contradict the Bible?
-->
@Jarrett_Ludolph
Creation, then a period of evolution....Pretty logical.

As evolution is still apparent  and ongoing, and we assume a cause.

The cause/creation can be regarded as a GOD principle. 

Though  naive creation myths that arose a few thousand years ago are largely illogical.

The fact that some people still believe these archaic creation myths and some do not,  is simply indicative of how humanoid data storage and transfer units have evolved.

Nope, I had a wonderful childhood....And my kids are doing just fine thanks....And hopefully you treat your kids with kindness and respect too.

So can you actually prove that the Christianity Story is not non-sense?.....If you can, you will be the first to do it.

And don't just quote the bible, because the bible was compiled by fallible people.

I challenged some Dart Genii to a test of their mental acuity. But got little response.
Does any one else feel like having a go?


This was the puzzle I posed:
1 2 5 20 1 4 5 20 ?
What is the missing number.

And here is another:
Firstly Ethang5
Secondly Athias
Lastly Seldiora.
But what was seventh?

Santa Claus is made up!

And no meat in my kebab, as I'm not into slaughtering fatted calves.


Though correct me if I'm wrong....Wasn't  Santa Claus, a.k.a. Saint Nicholas, a Fourth Century Christian Bishop of Myra?

I think that you will find, that Santa Claus was made up by Christians.

And referring to my kids as scum, makes you just about the scummiest Dart member that I have encountered thus far.

But you only think what you think etc.
Started off super-logical....But quickly tailed off.


But.....If I am on the other side of the planet...Perhaps that puts you somewhere near the Pacific Ocean...Is this correct?


And I never thought that a GOD was BOB.....I thought and decided that the GOD principle was a valid enough hypothesis....I just referred to it as BOB so as not to confuse you.


But you are still confusing your particular GOD hypothesis, with a basic hypothesis-less principle.

BOB is the basis of all GOD hypotheses....DO you understand?

I accept Trade at face value and I accept Utanity at face value.

The only difference that I see, is that Trade's illogic is somewhat more eloquently presented  that Utanity's illogic.


Though like a lot of Dart users, Utanity feels unable to give us even their most basic of details, such as age, gender and place of residence....Which always makes one sceptical.


And hell in the traditional sense, is as illogical as heaven.

And teach your kids nonsense and they will grow up believing in nonsense.

You only think that your GOD is everybody else's GOD, because that is what you were taught to think.

And BOB is just a principle, which might or might not be your GOD.


And I didn't actually mention the Arabs, who you referred to as "SCUM".....I initially, only referred to the Arabian Peninsular.


And GODS are neither true nor false.....Just possibilities.

An effect, affects.

So are aware of  effect, because it affects.

Therefore because of the affect, we referred to the effect as gravity.

Yep. The rational notion for GOD/BOB is purpose over nihilism....Though whether that is rational or not is impossible to say.

I base my BOB assumption purely on the existence of matter and the evolution thereof....Which is purpose enough.

It might be accurate to say billions.

And if population increases then indoctrination will increase proportionately, obviously relative to the breeding tendencies of certain sub-groupings.

So there will undoubtedly be similar increases in the Christian, Islam and Atheist clubs....Though which one becomes the most popular club depends primarily on who breeds the quickest.

Nonetheless, the enjoyment of,  and devotion to historical fiction is what it is.....Living in the past.

It's the very select clever club that moves things forward.


And a GOD looks down in amazement, and says what the F**K....And chuckles to itself.

@Utanity
Nope. Atheists lack a belief in a specific GOD.....Which doesn't mean that they cannot assume a purpose in material existence.....People that assume a purposeless existence are usually referred to as nihilists.

I just utilise the well known term "GOD" , which I assume represents a purpose.....If you find that confusing, then I will refer to it as BOB instead.

I certainly do not believe any BOB principle.....I simply consider them.

I consider the Christian hypothesis to be fundamentally the same as all hypotheses, but I consider the accompanying tales that sprung up a few thousand years ago in the Arabian Peninsular, to be nothing more than the naive reasoning that they clearly were.

Well hypotheses vary from the sublime to the ridiculous and the ridiculously sublime....Make of that what you will.

Science is the application of the human mind and and it's enhanced  ability to manipulate information. Which allows us to study natural processes and further our understanding of them.

So in reality scientific facts have come from the human mind.....Nature is only what it is, and not science per se.

GODS are also a product of the human mind, though at best pseudo scientific.... In so much as effects were noticed and causes were hypothesised, but not scientifically established.

Why is there a thunder storm up in the sky....Well there must be a GOD up there creating it.........Eventually, science provided us with the real solution.

As to the origins of matter.....That one is currently unknown.....GODS are one of many hypotheses.

As things stand "Christianity" is just a club based upon one creation hypothesis....And the club book has yet to be verified.....Afterlife like GODS is an assumption, and there are various hypothetical afterlife and GOD formats.

Nonetheless given the nature of Christian texts and their disjointed compilation, contradiction and misinterpretation is only to be expected....So make of Christian texts what you want to make of them....It's the beauty of the religion.

@Utanity

An enemy is hostile opposition, so never good, from the point of view of the self righteous.

And the use of the word "scum" is equally as arbitrary....In so much as A and B are both "scum" in each others eyes, whilst they are also both righteous in their own eyes.  

The thoughts of men are not necessarily the thoughts of a GOD....A GOD might decide that A's and B's mutual hostility and contradictory self-righteousness, is just not the sort of scummy behaviour that is required in heaven.

N.B.    "Scum" and consequently scummy are not words that I would normally choose to use....I am merely quoting for the purposes of emphasis.

Well the word agnostic as defined, requires both belief, and knowledge of a GOD.

So I would say, based purely on definition, that children "start out" atheist rather than agnostic.

The dictionary defines an atheist as a disbeliever or someone that lacks belief.

So yes, I would certainly have lacked belief at the age of 4....In fact, I expect that at the age of 4 most kids have not really grasped the concepts of either,  belief or disbelief.  Save the odd few who have had the misfortune to suffer overzealous indoctrination.

So in terms of lacking belief, I think that it is fair to say that children start out as atheists.

@RoderickSpode
Children tend to grow up accepting what they are told.....It's what is known as conditioning or programming.

Some are conditioned from an early age to accept  a GOD, and some aren't.

So young children tend not to dispute much, especially philosophical stuff....They might dispute the food they are given or bedtime or other things that impact directly upon their daily existence.....  As they get older and acquire new and contradictory data, they may start to question and maybe eventually alter their outlook..... Nonetheless, formatively acquired data remains well established.

I was raised as neither theist or atheist.....Christian religious festivals were customarily acknowledged, but there was no accompanying strict religious indoctrination, so consequently, I suppose that is why I have always been sceptical and questioning of religious hypotheses and philosophy. 

So if I am an atheist, it is because I lack belief, rather than refuse to believe.

Why is murder actually wrong.

@Checkmate
Murder isn't "actually" wrong.

It has been generally decided that it is sometimes a social wrong.

Nonetheless, the taking of life is an inevitability irrespective of social decisions, and murder is only one category thereof.

Hence..... Shooting the bloke across the road is murder, first degree, second degree, justifiable, manslaughter etc...Shooting a bloke across the road in Afghanistan is  worthwhile..... Shooting the chicken crossing the road is yummie or disgusting...... And having an abortion down the road...is or isn't legally permissible.
