Brutal Brian Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 There is also a town of Hell in my home state of Michigan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Michigan Wow, even made it into the wikepdia online encyclopedia. :-) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed there is. And there is also a Climax in Michigan, and if you travel a certain way in Michigan, you have to go through Hell to get to Climax. HAR DEE HAR HAR...

Thurisaz Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 The "archeological evidence" does justify some of the cities mentioned, but just because certain parts of the bible contain historical data doesn't mean that God exists. Quite right. If some old cities really having existed means that jebus really lived and really was the son of gawd, then by the same kind of "reasoning" the jews are the mortal enemy of the aryan master race - after all, hitler's accursed book deals with a real country called Germany.

Thurisaz Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 There's also a town called Little Heaven in Delaware. So I guess Heaven exists, also. It's just smaller than we thought it would be. One district of the city of Hildesheim/Germany bears the name "Himmelsthür" (literally: Heaven's gate). Every year before Yuletide, countless children write their wish-letters to Santa Claus at "Himmelsthür" So, what do you know - I've been living damn close to jebus almost my entire life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigile Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Physicalism (the belief that there is nothing outside of the three dimensional, natural, normal universe... and yes, that there are no miracles) has insisted on putting the burden of proof upon dualists and idealists for a VERY long time now. I think that's a little misguided, and that physicalists should share it equally with the other two. It seems to me, after all, that there is a LOT of intellectual pride in claiming that you can KNOW that there is nothing that ever defies the "laws" of our universe. In fact, IMHO, it seems extremely presumptuous to say "All these myriads of things that have happened which we can't explain are REALLY explainable just by magic tricks and science." Translated: I believe in fairy tales and if you don't believe my stories it's up to you to prove me wrong. I know you can't so I will continue to prance with fairies in my make believe world and will pitty you because you don't live in my version of reality. Also: I didn't bother to take the time to learn any science so it is magic and spooky to me. Don't try tricking me with all that voodoo mumbo jumbo.

The Silent One Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 When confronted with questions about how all animals got onto the ark. Point1: Too many animals for the space provided, unless they evolved after the flood. Christian Counter Point 1: "God could have shrunk the animals." Christian Counter Point 2: "Well they didn't evolve, but they all adapted from one type of cat (Using cat as an example)" (He claims all humans would be alive still, and still would have been born, if Adam and Eve hadn't sinned.) Point: Too many people to inhabit the land. Christian Counter Point 1: "There would be less water because, there would have been no flood, So there'd be more land for people." Once I pointed out how stupid that was: Christian Counter Point 2: "God would have let us colonize other planets." I shit you not, actual answers from a local street preacher.

No, that would have been Sisterdale, once upon a time. Them demn Bolsheviks. And there's too many idiot Christian stickers around here to remember, though most seem to deal with abortion=wrong, and GWB 2004. Lots of Jesus fishes, too.

Ouroboros Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 When confronted with questions about how all animals got onto the ark. I remember hearing these answers too. Point1: Too many animals for the space provided, unless they evolved after the flood.Christian Counter Point 1: "God could have shrunk the animals." And they never thought about that a shrunken animal still would have its original weight. The arc still wouldn't be able to hold that weight. Christian Counter Point 2: "Well they didn't evolve, but they all adapted from one type of cat (Using cat as an example)" Which makes the Christian look even more stupid, since then they agree to that evolution works!

Ouroboros Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I tried pointing that out, he just kept claiming it wasn't actually evolution, since they were still 'cats' I know. They alude to that the different subclasses of a species is not a new species, so the cat, lion, leopard, tiger, cougar, lynx etc comes from one Adam/Eve-Cat. I haven't checked into the genetic structure of the different cat classes, but it wouldn't surprise me if they have different numbers of chromosomes, which can't happen according to the creationists.

Tell them that apes are just as closely related to humans as the lion is to the house cat (more or less, I can't remember) and ask them which person in the Bible gave birth to a chimpanzee. Or maybe Noah was an ape? If so, when did the ape/human split occur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurisaz Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 You don't even have to get into the whole species thing. If all that "variety" (jebus forbid that they use the dirty "E" word! ) took place within some, how long, 4000 years since The Flood, then this is just how many orders of magnitude faster than any decent scientist thinks evolution took place?! Yeah, right. Slow scientific evolution is bunk, but superfast jebus-driven evolution (just called by another name) is okay, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
