Why would you choose to discuss this email, which obviously has no scholarly (even believers, are sometimes rational thinkers in some areas) value, basically an idiotic rant! You have wasted precious time.<BR/><BR/>2. Matt said, "The burden of proof is on you" to the guy. Listen Matt, obviously to make "these guys" understand rational thinking, you have to explain it to them. I would do it like this:<BR/>a. Before religion, there was no religion.<BR/>b. Religion was "created" (I believe in creation, and no one can prove me wrong, Man created God!).<BR/>c. Hence the creators of religion would have the burden of proof, to explain to non-believers, that God exists.<BR/><BR/>Good job guys! <BR/>Ahmed Hussein (strange? yes, even I can be an atheist)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329324586469414745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-64238545663205675672008-10-20T21:53:00.000-05:002008-10-20T21:53:00.000-05:00"before you assume that there is no god or assume ..."before you assume that there is no god or assume there is you must look at the evidence. and not at the winners of history's version of truth!"<BR/><BR/>I know I don't even have to show what's wrong with what this guy says, but I just love humoring people.<BR/><BR/>A positive claim contains an assertion that creates a circumstance around reality. A negative claim, because of dismissing the positive claim, and thus dismissing that that claim has any evidence supporting it, does not need evidence for itself only the diametric positive claim's lack of damn evidence. Even if the positive claim cannot have any evidence, ever, because the assertion doesn't allow for such a surrounding circumstance in reality that would be called evidence [i it points directly to the truth of this assertion], the negative claim would be correct because it assumes there is no evidence.<BR/><BR/>Understand?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984749172733637835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-16209347257112203732008-10-20T21:47:00.000-05:002008-10-20T21:47:00.000-05:00"if big bang is correct then god is the impact of ..."if big bang is correct then god is the impact of two asteroids..but why hasn't their been another big-bang??? all the time asteroids impact each other.."<BR/><BR/>Poe's law, poe's law, poe's law, poe's law.<BR/><BR/>This guy is a fucktard - the big bang is not two atseroids colliding, rather it is a theory that claims there was once a singularity that went through rapid expansion, to put it simply. How is it that if the big bang is correct then GOD is the collision of two asteroids? Great equivocation. He goes on to say that asteroids collide all the time, and then asks why hasn't their been a big bang. Self-contradiction: you defined "big bang" as the collision between 2 asteroids, claims that always happens, then claims the big bang, as he defines it, hasn't happened more than once. There are so many things wrong in this small quote it's unbelievable! ...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984749172733637835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-14567515627547453952008-09-22T22:55:00.000-05:002008-09-22T22:55:00.000-05:00You've got to wonder about some people who call th...You've got to wonder about some people who call themselves 'scientists'.

Anyway, I got about three "sentences" (if they can be called that) in before deciding the rest of the thing was not worth it. He sounds like a real "winner". For someone who claims to be a scientist who bases his beliefs on facts and evidence, he seems to not understand the basics behind what that evidence entails. And just because it only occurs in an obscure passage in the bible doesn't mean that Christianity is any less violent in their views about infidels than the Muslims. The only real difference is that most Christians choose to ignore the call to act on that violence (come to think of it, so do most Muslims, it's just that more Muslims than Christians do act on the edicts found in their holy books that we hear about it more in the media).Michael Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266398068827299372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-25663567710077635032008-09-10T15:41:00.000-05:002008-09-10T15:41:00.000-05:00Palin and who?;-)<A HREF="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OoWsMrlI_eA/SMfDUcWh4mI/AAAAAAAAFcU/ECH08WhUMy4/s1600-h/Palin.jpg" REL="nofollow">Palin and who?</A><BR/><BR/>;-)Rhologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245825667079220242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-17062438035036320972008-09-10T15:39:00.000-05:002008-09-10T15:39:00.000-05:00A glimpse into the future after Palin/Mcain have o...A glimpse into the future after Palin/Mcain have office and cretionism is taught in science class :)Sean Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485575602984697926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-68150495365535538662008-09-10T15:10:00.000-05:002008-09-10T15:10:00.000-05:00Wow.
