A Case For Creation

[TheSumOfGod]

The only thing I still don't get is WHY is Adam's penis so freakin' small? Now we know why Eve fell for that snake.

 

[Addendum]

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.

Here's my opinion on the subject.

There is enough order and reason evident in our universe to suggest 'intelligent design'. Like others have said, however, it is possible that these things happened by chance.

I do not believe in a God in the judeoChristian sense, but more of a "mind behind it all" sense. Even still, I realize that it is possible that I am wrong and that everything just happened by chance. I also do not believe that God has a hand in our everyday lives and it is possible that "he" no longer exists.

Basically it comes down to "I don't know".

Believe what you want. Just don't be a whiny baby about it

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.

religion

Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.

Hello, I'm TheSumOfGod. You may remember me as the resident Hype "conspiracy nut" who sometimes mentions reptilian shapeshifters and holographic airplanes. Anyway, this is a quote from lazur from a while back:

People who believe that the Holocaust didn't happen are liberals. Neo-Nazis are liberals. Extremists in general are all liberals.

I rest my case.

Do you know anything about how the dictionary works? When there are letter designators in one of the numbered definitions, it means there's MORE than one qualifier, and that any of the qualifiers by themselves would mean something OTHER than the word all qualifiers are defining.

If you're going to post a definition, post the ENTIRE definition, k?

re·li·gion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-ljn)
n.

1. a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.

b. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.

2. The life or condition of a person in a religious order.

3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.

4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

still the book fits in at least one definition..... soooo... saying it's not religious is just silly


but my point in this whole thing is that there is as much posibility that we are a freak of nature or a designed planned or neither

I'm man enough to apologize for things I've said that were wrong, TSOG. However, you are showing just what a spineless idiot you can be for continually bringing it up despite my apology.

See, I act the same way on these boards that I would were you standing in front of me. You can't say the same. If you did, you wouldn't be alive. Someone would surely have stomped you out of existance by now.

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...

No, it doesn't fit any of those definitions. That's my point. It fits HALF OF ONE definition. In order to be 'religious', there has to be an element of WORSHIP to it. Re-read the definitions again if you must. The book fits part A of definition 1, but not part B. Therefore, it's not considered 'religious'.

You apologized simply because it was politically correct to do so, but those statements you made showed your true nature. Just like when Jonty said that "AIDS would never have become a problem for straight people if gays would have stayed on their side of the street."

I might seem like an a**hole from time to time, but at least I'm not a demented McCarthyistic hypocrite like you or a flat-out bigot like Jonty.

I think that people were created by aliens . . . I'm not kidding . . .

I personally tend to lend credibility to Sumerian mythology, which states that human beings were created as replacement slaves for the reptilian Anunnaki, who had rebelled against the extraterrestrial "gods", the Igigi.

When a definition contains qualifiers, ALL qualifiers must apply in order for the definition to be valid. What is so effing hard to understand about that?

This particular definition has TWO qualifiers. BOTH of them must apply in order to be considerd 'religion'. In this case, however, only ONE qualifer, qualifer A, actually applies. Therefore, definition 1, with A and B qualifiers, does not apply.

Take a writing class or something if you need further clarification.

That's what I was talkin about . . . even if I'm put in the same 'crackpot of the hype' category as you are, I think that dispite 'common sense', this is what happened . . . it's part evolution, part religion, part science . . . I don't think that man could have so distinctly evolved separate from apes on our own . . .

Ah okay, thanks for reading my mind and relaying my true intentions to the board. You must be using the same powers you use when you 'connect' with your lizard people friends.

You perpetually demonize liberals in every political thread you post in, essentially blaming them for all the ills of the world. I don't need telepathy to figure out the way you think, your own words will do just fine.

stupid english stuff

ok, then it's halfway religious


either way you are evading my point. Intelligent design and creationism is just as possible as the freak of nature idea

 

[celldog]

Lazur...thanks for being "open-minded". Look...I didn't post this to get any arguments going. But some of you just seem so threatened by the meer mention of anything like this.

Calm down. I think Lazur got the point. It's an interesting topic.
