Re: Obtuse vs Illiterate. Dad and Son spar
Your story doesn't address Tanypteryx's point at all.

Re: Obtuse vs Illiterate. Dad and Son spar
Tanypteryx has a valid point in regards to science. My analogy was meant to show what I believe the motive is for ICANT even arguing. His aim is not to reinvent science. His aim is to convince you that God is the one exception to the rule that there is no absolute truth. You, of course, will continue to argue.

Re: Creation
Your basic argument:
unless there is evidence pointing to a cause-effect relationship between prayer and _______, we can not conclude that prayer is effective. Which extrapolates into: "Unless there is evidence pointing to a cause-effect relationship between GOD and_________, we cannot conclude that God exists or is effective." You will never convince the old man of that! God cannot be proven using science. God is a matter of Faith. Whether God exists regardless of our faith may be proven at some point in the future. Or we may die never knowing. jar thinks we may know after we die.

That can't be right. He has used examples that have nothing to do with God. I think it's plain that he just doesn't understand what absolute means.

Well, of course not. I wouldn't waste a word trying to convince him that water is wet. But hopefully somebody else will see how foolish his ideas are.

It's a consensus. And you're shooting yourself in the foot, deviating again from God being the only absolute truth.

Re: Creation
No. I am concurring that God is the only necessary absolute truth. All else is consensus.

Re: Creation
Hi Paul
AZPaul writes: What there is no evidence for, none at all, is the speculation that some god popped the universe into existence or had anything at all to do with anything in this universe. There is no reason, even vanishingly small, to entertain the notion. No level of confidence need be assessed. It does not enter the picture in anyway. If some evidence is found, and verified, this may change. Until then, god is out. Sounds like you believe that statement to be an absolute truth. God Bless,

Hi Dr.
Dr writes: you could be hallucinating your sobriety. I think that would be kind of hard as I have not had a drink since 1962.
Dr writes: don't be an idiot, obviously from the context of his writing he meant two of Earth's moon. He said he looked up and saw 2 moons. Well I informed everyone there is 181 in our solar system which is many more than 2. Did you know there was 181 in our solar system? God Bless,

Re: Creation

or so you think
Well I informed everyone there is 181 in our solar system which is many more than 2.
so you ignored the context of his statement and just spouted out some information with no thought to continuing the discussion.
id you know there was 181 in our solar system?
I didn't know the exact number but I knew there were lots. I also knew want he meant by his statement and didn't try to ignore his argument.
