The spaghetti monster reminds us all that all you need is faith....

Why would you post this, we have to pay in order to see it.

Not really much of a case. It is equally as possible that these things are without design or purpose as it is that they are with them.

I find it both amazing and disgusting at how close-minded most of the people who've responded to the initial post are. Someone posts about atheism and they're given a pat on the back. Someone posts about evolution and they get the star treatment. But someone posts about creationism and they're ridiculed and made fun of.

This isn't a religious thread, so quit treating it like it is.

By the way, you don't have to pay to understand the premise of the book. Read the synopsis. It's quite interesting.

And if you don't like the thread or the discussion it requests, then at least have the decency to refrain from being d*ckheads if you post. If you can't refrain from displaying your true nature, however, then find somewhere else to post your idiotic comments.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Flame on!]

But someone posts about creationism and they're ridiculed.

Possibly because it's ridiculous.

Incidently, calling people ********s and idiots is not the best way to get folk from refrianing to ridicule.

my post is clearly the most open-minded of all

Life lesson number 517: There's a difference between someone calling someone something and someone accusing someone of BEING something, or acting like something.

Maybe you're too young to have learned that lesson as of yet?

They were BEING d*ckheads.

And it's YOUR OPINION that it's 'ridiculous'. But calling something that someone believes on a personal level 'ridiculous' is somehow LESS insulting than accusing someone of being a d*ckhead. I forgot .

If that's how you really feel, then why get involved in the discussion at all?

Oh, I know...
















































Troll.

Where's Holly to say "Lazur needs a hug."?

lazur, I stand by my original post as I believe the Flying Spaghetti Monster is just as plausible as any other theory around creationism or intelligent design. I don't continually bring up my beliefs around the origins of the universe here or try to push them on people at all, but creationists seem to have a penchant for doing that. Believe what you like. I really have no problem with it. But don't get mad when those who don't agree or even find your presented beliefs improbable and humorous say so. If you put it out in the public forum for discussion, you'll get a lot of different responses including ridicule and even venom. celldog has been on this site long enough to know full well what sort of responses he was going to get to his initial post, too, by the way. It's almost like he was looking to get those kinds of responses, to be honest.

Lazur, there never was any discussion in this thread. Celldog just posted a link to a site advertising and asking you to buy a book and/or movie. Very little information is provided on the site and no "case" is made. So this whole thread could be considered spamming by Celldog.

But the privelged planet site is more pretty . . .

Amp . . . read the synopsis . . . jeez! Slacker

 

[ampersand]

Amp . . . read the synopsis . . . jeez! Slacker

I did. But he could have just copy pasted that instead of saying the whole site is a Case for Creationism.

 

[DV8]

I think the book sounds interesting, to tell you the truth . . . I'm not necessarily saying that I agree in Creationism, but the premise at least is interesting

My only argument is . . . the universe IS so goddam incomprehensively expansive, that we're too miniscule to know how uncommon these conditions are in the universe . . . . it's so big that there could be TRILLIONS of planets like ours, which harbor life . . . . but maybe each of those Trillions of planets are BILLIONS of light years apart . . .

There never was any discussion because the first five or so responses to the first post were nothing but troll posts!

And it's not spamming. He read the synopsis and thought it was provocative. He's obviously right. I will admit that he perhaps could have copied and pasted the synopsis here, but that's not even relevant when it comes to the level of trolling encountered in this thread. You could just as easily click the "Synopsis" link at the site and read it for yourself.

But nooooo. He said 'creation'. FLAME FLAME FLAME, TROLL TROLL TROLL!!

It isn't? A thread about a book stating the case for an intelligent, divine being creating all of existence isn't inherently religious?

lazur, you surely must know this community very well by now. How you can be offended by the response is mind-boggling, since surely, you saw it coming the instant you saw the title of this thread.

I personally don't know why the highly religious keep trying. They always get the exact same response, every single time. I would consider it futile by now.

Believing in a 'higher intelligent power' is not the same as believing in a 'God'. Religion requires prayer and praise. Believing in a higher intelligence does not. And nowhere is the word 'divine' mentioned, but thanks for trying to add that into the discussion.

And I'm not 'highly religious'. I believe in a higher power and I believe we certainly were created. Not in the 'poof, there is man' kinda way, but that there is a design, whether through evolution or whatever, and that someone or something intelligent is at the heart of it.

And, incidentally, I'm not alone in that belief. About 90% of the world also believes it.
