Open letter to all Atheists.

The problem is everywhere with that argument, but we can start in Alpha Centauri. Obviously you must think that the laws of identity and non-contradiction do not apply out there, since humans have yet to arrive on the scene, is that right?Shirley you don't think the laws of logic were constructed by humans do you?

No, those people are just inconsistent, that's all. As Christians, they're in effect saying that God was either mistaken, or lying, when He said that He created everything in six days and all creatures were created after their kind. True, if I live long enough, I suppose I might run into that. Again though, that would simply be another example of inconsistency with one's own worldview.

That's right, I'm not really here. I'm just stardust in your dreams.

I'll let Richard Dawkins explain my point then. This is probably the only time I'd actually admit to agreeing with him btw. Man vs. GodNow before you welcome me to the club and hand me my atheist coffee mug, I should point out that the only point I agree with Dawkins on is the one re: the incompatibility of evolution and theism. It's either one or the other and I think you know which one I'm leaning towards - the one with the better dental plan of course.

Maybe as an atheist you can say that, but not as a Christian. As a Christian, you have to acknowledge that the Bible (including Genesis) is the inerrant word of God. Thus a Christian cannot claim that the Genesis story is inaccurate. To do so would ultimately indict God himself as flawed (capable of making mistakes).Again - as an atheist you can say that, but a Christian cannot.

He'd also need to add: "Sorry about that Creation-in-6-days thing. I really threw you literalists a curve on that didn't I? And the after-their-own-kind bit, fuhgeddaboudit."You deprecate the intelligence of a Creator. I know you don't believe in one, but if you grant for argument's sake that one exists, then does it seem logical to you that a Creator could be imperfect? If there are imperfections, then it would stand to reason there's room for improvement, thus God as the ultimate one-stop-shop Creator must be perfect, not imperfect (since by definition there can be nothing higher than Him). If God is perfect, then He cannot make mistakes.For evolution and God to be true simultaneously, God must have made a mistake (in His Bible). But He can't make mistakes, if He exists - so we're back to the same premise: either evolution is true, or God is true. But we don't get to claim both.

If I have a boolean variable, assign it TRUE, it can't then at the same time become a walnut. That would violate the law of identity, and has nothing to do with human language.If a comet is passing through the Alpha Centauri system, it's not also at the same time a school of plankton being devoured by a blue whale. Again, nothing to do with human language.I know it might seem like there's a radon leak in my house, by the way I'm writing, but I'm trying to illustrate what logical violations would look like. For a world to exist, without logic (i.e. before it evolved) would be nothing less than an Alice in Wonderland reality.

And not all cops follow the law. It does claim to be God's word, however. God cannot be God if He is errant. That would make Him less than perfect and allow for improvement, which cannot be true if He is the ultimate supreme being (which could not be improved upon). If God is inerrant, then so is His word.

Could a comet in a distant solar system and a school of plankton here on Earth exist without humans (and thus our language)?The answer is of course yes. Neither event requires our presence nor our language.Now could both of those events occur at the exact same time, and yet somehow be the same event? I don't see how. Spock would not approve.To put it another way, say you look back in time, 10 billion years (before humans, but after the "big bang"). You spot an asteroid tumbling through space. At the exact same time, could it also NOT be an asteroid NOT tumbling through space?

Evolution does not comport with a Creator. To do so, would require the Creator to be fallible, which would disqualify Him as God (since the Creator must be perfect).Therefore evolution is not compatible with God. If evolution is true, atheism must follow (as there could be no God). They go hand in hand.

Logic doesn't "make" anything. It is simply a set of absolute laws.Yes I think I must be missing your point, because up until now it seems you believe logic is a construct of the human mind.

No, that would be John McRage (aka McCain).

Then it would be foolish to assume that all of the thoughts and ways of a Supreme Being could be known by our limited (and not so supreme) minds.Also, if there is a God (I say that for your benefit of course), and we meet Him at roughly the same time, give me a warning before you start asking for apologies would you? I'd like to take a few steps back first.

Could you show me an example in C# or SQL?
