Spiritual, but not Religious

[Jack Davenport]

if you believe in the bible you MUST believe that the age of the earth is 6,000 years old. How can you believe it's billions of years old but believe that adam n eve were here first? the dinosaurs were here long before any form of man. Early man was ape-like, but to believe in the biblical teachings you must deny that. How can you do both? the bible tells us that the humanity is 5-7 thousand years old. How do could you possibly acknowledge the science that man has been around for nearly 2 million years and believe the bible? That makes no sense because one cancels out the other.

willeworm, complexity doesn't confirm an intelligent designer. Certainly not one that creates a child with ears yet takes away his/her hearing. Especially if that child is born deaf. If anything, complexity proves there's no intelligent designer because what all powerful being would use complex methods to create something out of nothing? Such a shame seeing creationists constantly using these fallacies. There doesn't have to be life after death. If there is, this life loses meaning. A starving child would appreciate a loaf of bread more when he/she doesn't expect another loaf.

Deep stuff, Will. Imagine how much shorter debates would be if one of the guys or girls would just do a face palm.

if you are a christian who believes the bible then you deny all scientific fact about the age of the world. If you believe in god you must believe that the earth is only 5 - 7 thousands years old, which has been proven beyond doubt. They recently found human skulls that are 1.8 million years old in a cave in Georgia. That is indisputable by way of fact, but those who are believers dont adhere to factual evidence. Remember, they have turned off a large portion of their brain that recognizes facts and logic. There is no intelligent design. Life was created over billions of years of evolution and continues to evolve. There was no shazam and adam and eve appeared. to believe in any of that is simply mindless.

Don't forget Noah's fuckin arc!!!!

Yup. Darwin killed the teleological argument for a god. It might have been compelling before, though.

Before watches and cars of which modern Christians use as evidence for intelligent design. They forget that we have proof of those things being man made and we can make those watches and cars. They say that unlike god, we can't make those trees and mountains though I counter with "Then why are you using unnatural creations as an analogy for natural things you claim are made by an unnatural being?".
