Science IS as big a "belief system" as any other, you've just proved my point that people are "spiritual beings", so thanks for that.
The lack of tolerance that "scientific" belief systems exhibit is reminiscent of other religions and my fear is would end up being as single-minded, dictatorial, and dogmatic.
You missed my point in providing you with the links, I was trying to prove how predictable you'd be.
It worked out very well for me, as I was able to contrast how similar the "scientific" belief system is to other dogmatically rigid belief systems that others here may have recently exited, again, thanks.
With going back and forth with sometimes 3-4 waiting in line, my objective was to reach the others reading and watching how even the "scientific" belief system was the first to resort to; denigration, name calling, questioning of sanity... "Scientific" resorts to the same tactics that other man made belief systems resort to when threatened.
If you consider that there were perhaps 10 readers to every 1 poster, that was my audience, and you were my foil.
Thanks again, carpentaro
Once again, predictable mistake on your part. Even though you do not understand the first thing about the field of science, you feel qualified to define it and label it, and you think that I and others should benefit from your stabs in the dark. If so, that's good news for me, as I will be starting lua's
Big Book of Plumbing, lua's
Aerospace Guide for Dummies, and lua's
Definitive Resource on Christianity and all things Jesus. Going by your logic, the fact that I know little at most about these subjects shouldn't be a problem, and for every one reader who calls me on my nonsense, there will be ten others who believe that "knowledge" and "facts" are subjective and will buy my books. I expect you to buy them, too. I'll dedicate one to you.
If you had caught me a few months ago before I got weary of this song and dance, I would have spent a great deal of time explaining it to you. In fact, there's a thread around here somewhere where I spent days trying to break it down for another user who, like you, was unable to process it. And that's fine, but you'll forgive me and others with even the most basic understanding of science for being less than impressed with the conclusions you're forming based off of your own ignorance. And it doesn't matter anyway, as you're quite content to be oblivious.
But anyway, back to your "I tripped but I meant to do that" claim that you're selling right now. So you're telling me that you came on here with the sole intention of giving a remarkably poor sermon, so intentionally awful, so purposefully rife with error and nonsense, and all in order to demonstrate that the readers of this nonsense will question your sanity and demand evidence? That if you offer us scientific evidence and say that you have it, we will accept and ask for it, and be disappointed when you give us broken urls?
You had the opportunity to invite our poor souls to be saved, to convince us of the truth of Christianity, to show us the scientific evidence you initially claimed to have to support the Bible, and instead you decided not to bestow your knowledge and your best sermons and your real-life evidence on us? That it's all a jester's dance and you're just thrilled to have an audience? I must say, carpentaro, that that's not very Christian-like of you. In fact, I'm going to bring you up when I'm being questioned by St. Peter at the pearly gates. I
could have been a good Christian, but Carpentaro decided to be stingy with his mind-blowing knowledge.
Sadly, I don't think that's the case. I do, however, think you couldn't come up with anything more compelling if you tried, that you're functioning at maximum capacity as it stands, and I'm pretty sure you're going to look less foolish if you just admit that you walked in here thinking you were awfully clever and found you didn't have as many tricks up your sleeve as you thought you did. But admitting that would require a little bit of humility. That's a thing you're supposed to like as a Christian, right?
