Perhaps you are frustrated, but this does nothing to make your argument more appealing. Science has no feelings, but people do, and you're being a rather poor diplomat right now. Also, Aquinas solved this problem a long time ago. Drop the act. Did you come here to spread ideas or to troll?

A little of both I would say. Glenzig refuses to even answer the simplest questions and is in troll mode so I thought I would toss a little back his way.

And what happens in the end? The Kent Hovind /Answers in Genesis crowd digs in deeper, and the ones who might have listened walk off.

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.

Or they could see that G13 and Glenzig have absolutely no clue about science even when they have been walked through it 40 times with the simplest language. It is discussions like these that convinced me to drop faith. Watching Christians deny reality and tip toe around bible passages is more powerful than you give credit for.

You should have dropped faith a long time ago, my friend.

Empty promises. God isnt real. Quit wasting the only life you KNOW you have believing in magic and fairy tales.

Oh, I see now that's what you were saying. In that case: keep on truckin'.

Been an atheist for over 2 decades now. Is that not long enough ago? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Be careful though, as I discussed earlier, we mustn't say "god is not real" or "god does not exist". We're supposed to neutral in these kind of claims. We don't have evidence to substantiate those kinds of claims, and you're going to end up in a world of theological shit trying to debate like that.

Sometimes the big points don't click have decades, or longer. Maybe for some the better part of a century. People don't change their mind in real-time, either. All we can do is send out a line, a few packets of logic, and hope for the best.
