Re: Can Mutation Invent?
I’ve heard and appreciated the following comparison: “The evolution of the human body by natural selection is about as likely as a tornado traveling through a junkyard and unintentionally building a Boeing 747” There was a great debate posted years ago on this forum (Ken Ham vs. someone arguing irre...

Re: Brilliant use of scientific facts destroys reasoning for atheism!
Thank you for your patient explanation. I admit that it was unfair for me to jump to conclusions when I haven’t been on these forums for several years. Obviously there must be SOME boundaries maintained.

Re: Faith and Free Will
Thank you, Philip. Your prayers and your kind words mean a lot to me, and the post you linked was genuinely beautiful and uplifting. I’d be lying if I said I’m not scared of returning to a life where I’m held accountable for my actions, but that’s also part of what I miss about being a Christian. I ...

Re: Can Mutation Invent?
Hello from 2025! Wow—what a fantastic debate from both sides. I have missed these forums! Not sure if anyone is still reading, but I do have a few thoughts and I can’t help but post them. DBowling repeatedly asked for information regarding the rate of 2+ “coordinated” beneficial mutations. I think t...

Re: Brilliant use of scientific facts destroys reasoning for atheism!
Ken, you've spent many years coming onto this forum arguing against the existence of God and Christian beliefs. I have no idea why this is so important to you. Because, if your beliefs are correct, then ultimately it doesn't matter whatsoever what you, I or anyone else believes, as we'd all just di...

Faith and Free Will
I grew up in a family that typically only attended church for weddings and funerals, however, my parents never opposed my interest in religion or any beliefs I developed. Around age 12, I started joining my cousin’s family several times a week at a Pentecostal church, and I was extremely drawn to th...

Re: Mathematician John Lennox refutes Stephen Hawking and Richard Dawkins' assertions the universe requires no God!
Interesting video—thank you for posting! I am not a physicist, but these types of arguments often inspire me to look further into the subject at hand. I love the learning experience. If I understood correctly, John Lennox was making a distinction between “philosophical nothing” and”scientific nothin...

Re: Please Introduce Yourself Here
Hello everyone. I doubt anyone on here remembers me, but I used to spend a lot of time on this forum. I've been AWOL for a few years, but my brain is itching for some thoughtful, respectful philosophy. I'm glad to see that several veteran members are still active!

Re: The uselessness of science
My point is that I truly dislike people that try to use science to DISPROVE things, then go about stating things like "science isn't in the business of proving things Yea...like I said I read it differently when I realized you were the OP. I've stalked this board quite a bit over the years and...

Re: The God Delusion
I'm tempted to launch into an explanation of the premise I characterized as seemingly unfair but logically necessary, but I want to hold off on that. <br> Jac, I'm curious to hear your explanation of this premise. The argument seems familiar...maybe something that was discussed in one of my philoso...

Bah! I just realized that Paul was the OP, and it made me read the post in an entirely different way. My first impression, even with reading the comments, was that the post was intended as an argument that science is actually useless...

Re: The uselessness of science
When I was much younger I went through a phase where I spent a lot of time drinking and smoking weed with a bunch of people in my friend's basement. We would have lengthy, elaborate philosophical conversations...including one which led us to the brilliant revelation that science is useless because i...

"Logical" reason that homosexual sex is a sin?
Hello everyone, I was visiting a debate discussion forum, and a poster (who identified herself as a lesbian) asked what "logical" reason God would have to make homosexual sex a sin. She argued that "everything else that is described as sinful has pretty obvious harmful consequences; d...
