Hi Belle, this is why I keep saying we need to teach Critical Thinking to everyone from a young age.  Much of pseudoscience does sound plausible on first hearing it but that is because it is peppered with real science and because it often appeals to emotions rather than intellect. Someone told me that the word “gullible” is not in the English…[Read more]

@Reg I don’t know….I guess i was fooled. A lot of it made sense but then I’m not sure what to compare it to

“it’s not a case of one-off interventions, or a magic wand that prevents disaster.  There’s no dispute that sickness, death and natural disaster happen to everyone.

It’s also not exclusive, since it is given to everyone unearned.  It’s a regenerative power that people can use to make the most of situations.”

@kyrani – I hope you are better now.

Your argument in favour of Intelligent Design, or Young Earth Creationism, is:  “I don’t know”, “I don’t fully understand it“, “one way or the other“.

Also, you seem to agree that the present situation makes it look as if evolution is true: “Maybe God thought to have a joke and plant a whole lot of foss…[Read more]

@kyrani – if evolution isn’t true, then what is the alternative explanation for how all the animals and plants got here, and how the ground is full of fossils, which all link up into a family tree extending back from the present day, through geological history, getting generally simpler and simpler as we go backwards? You…

Kyrani: “All of natural world science can’t tell me anything”

Why do you then proceed to use multiple products of science, including computers, and the internet?

Why Kyrani?

My biggest issue with the holy books and the religions that claim a revelation of some sort is that nothing in the revelation is ever included that could not have been written by the people of the day. God could have told us about bacteria and infections/illness. He could have told us the earth orbits the sun or given us a combustion engine, the s…[Read more]

I am not satisfied with your answer, blaming cancer on “foul…[Read more]

Hi Unseen, good to err….see you again.  A black cat moved into my house a few years back and I “christened” it “You’re one of them” to freak out my neighbors at night when I call it in. You can’t trust those people. I am sure they are have my house wire tapped.  There is no evidence for this but they gotta be up to something, right?

I sent…[Read more]

Do you believe that God made it look as if evolution is true, and as if we’re all descended from a common ancestor that existed billions of years ago, through planting fossils in the Earth, and creating genetic and other similarities between living and extinct species – but that really, this is just an elaborate deception on the part of God, to…[Read more]
