Nuke hate to drop a dookie in yer cream of wheat, but 'religionists' just ain't capable of reasoned debate. Another cranky old man put it like this:

"The most ridiculous concept ever perpetrated by H.Sapiens is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of the Universes, wants the sacharrine adoration of his creations, that he can be persuaded by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not recieve this flattery. Yet this ridiculous notion, without one real shred of evidence to bolster it, has gone on to found one of the oldest, largest and least productive industries in history.

Frankly, potatos perform the same function as priests, but far more thoroughly."

Have a nice day!

I wonder if God could create an equal God? If he could, the "equal" God could not have existed for all time......so I guess he wouldn't be the equal of God, unless God altered time.....like I imagine he could.

But why would God create an equal? For a friend?

Just some more junk to think about.

you think so? Can any man explain with logic or science how the universe came to be?

I'll debate anyone on the subject, and my arguments would be just as rational as anyone else. Want to try it out?

Sandman, I bookmarked that link and also the other link from the other thread. I also read some of the other stuff about relativity......was a great sight.

I plan on reading up on both, thanks

Isn't the "intelligent design" argument that everything still is perfect?

Edit: On second thought... don't answer. This is not a religious discussion. ;)

It's a philosophical question. Don't think of religion.....think of yourself as God, or as God.

Nuke, yer religion is based on a book that contains such an immense pile of conflicting values that anybody can prove anything from it.

For my own part, I've got far more intresting things to do with my time than to debate any theology with a half wit that's capapble of expousing nonsense nosies like " I wonder if God could create an equal God? If he could, the "equal" God could not have existed for all time......so I guess he wouldn't be the equal of God, unless God altered time.....like I imagine he could"

.. it's like looking in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there.

Pointless.
