Accurate even if slightly exasperated) criticism is not hostility. There is, however, plenty of evidence of hostility in your post.

Hmm you must have a different definition for hostile. Or is it that you are incapable of being hostile and are just defending your views and faith aggressively. It's those damn atheist again.

I am tickled by the attitude most of you have. Is it my avatar, or my religion or a combination of factors?
Christian persecution complex I see.
You can't take criticism? The people in this thread have just been trying to show where you are wrong in your assertions. Instead of admitting or accepting your mistakes you lash out and now claim they are picking on you. Grow a pair. If you can't accept criticism or debate logically then don't post. There are other threads that this has happened with you too.
The moment your assertions are criticized you claim the damn atheists are attacking you. Present a cogent, well thought out argument for once. Even then you will be criticized by someone. That is how debate forums work. If you can't defend your assertions against the criticisms then it should tell you something about the validity of your assertion. At that point a rational, educated, willing to learn person, would reexamine their assertion and maybe consider the other views. I see you are incapable of that, so resort to the old Christian persecution complex.
I think maybe you should reconsider posting here if you cannot handle the minor criticism you have received so far. People here do not suffer fools gladly. I am sure there are plenty of forums that will accept you misinformation and bs with nary a whisper. That isn't going to happen here.
The people that post here are for the most part well educated or well informed. Many are very highly educated. I have learned an immense amount here and on the historical side of things I am quite well informed. You might want to consider the fact that some of your preconceived notions and ideas(especially on the science side) are not correct.
by the way.

just a couple quick questions
Do you know what string theory is? Do you understand string theory?
You see. I am very weak on physics. Makes my head hurt. I am quite overwhelmed by the little I tentatively understand about string theory. I am not well enough versed to make any comment like this.
Only mathematical pipe dreams much like ”string theory”.
So do you know enough physics to make a rational informed decision about string theory, or are you making the logical fallacy you seem to make a lot.
I think I pointed the fallacy out to you in a different thread.
Argument from Incredulity - an informal logical fallacy where a participant draws a positive conclusion from an inability to imagine or believe the converse. The most general structure of this argument runs something like the following:
1. I can't imagine how P could possibly be false
2. Therefore, P.
A simple variation on this is
1. I cannot imagine how P could possibly be true
2. Therefore, not-P.
This is a fallacy because someone else with more imagination may find a way. This fallacy is therefore a simple variation of argument from ignorance. In areas such as science and technology, where new discoveries and inventions are always being made, new findings may arise at any time.

Whats that clicking sound? Hark! its the sound of all the Google scientists here looking for 'what the hell is the KCA'?
I sure hope you are not referring to The Kalam Cosmological Argument.
You criticize string theory but put forward this.
Premise 1: Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
Premise 2: The universe began to exist.
Conclusion 1: Therefore, the universe must have a cause.
Please tell me you meant something else.
Admin - Please let me know if you feel this is mocking or sarcastic. I tried not to be either but felt this was best way to pursue the question.
