Illegal drug is a meaningless phrase. MLK once said that legality doesn't determine what's right or wrong, you simpleton.

Let's test your logic - go steal someones car and say you didn't think it was wrong. If that doesn't work - go and kill someone and say the definition of murder is subjective. Here is an easy one - don't pay your taxes and say the government is a thief grin. Your stupidi.ty annoys me

It was once illegal to share water fountains with white people. People went to jail for breaking that law.

What has that got to do with drugging yourself to see fairies?

My friend, your bible was written by drug users. Deal with it. Hahaha

All I have asked you to do is provide proof of your claim. If you insist on been stupid; I can't stop you - you have done a pretty good job with that already

The proof is the nonsense written in the bible itself, talking snakes, resurrected human beings, and cheap magic tricks.

You said they took drugs like you did, all I asked was for proof; some historical evidence that we can refer to that they did. You are running away with your tail between your legs because you can't back up your statement.

Imagine, dozens of authors from different times and sometimes thousands of years apart where on "mushrooms" and supported the same hallucination theme? Such explanation is evidence of too much "illegal mush-rooms" grin. So, all Biblical authors got it wrong and you got it right? Amazing!

I don't believe in fairies bro, only your dishonest nature is preventing you from acknowledging what I've repeated here countless times.

Really, what beings do you see when you are high on your illegal mushrooms? Remember, you have it posted on online forum the experience when you are hallucinating from the after effects of your "mushrooms"

I only wish that your wife comes home pregnant with one of these fatherless virgin children

So, a woman can only get pregnant through sex.ual intercourse?

Grasping at straws, aren't we? Dude, you're the one who believe that virgins give birth, snakes talk, and dead people wake up after one week of soil treatment. I don't believe in any of those things.

Are you mad? You're the fool, for believing that nonsense with a sober brain. Sheep following the shepherd to the slaughter house.

Proof? Is the talking SNAKE not enough proof for you, mr. Pinhead? And the virgin mother? Walking on water? Hahaha.

Religion being built on the belief in God does not make it the same as God. You already agree that one is a construction on the other and yet you say the two are the same. That is like saying that the earth and a building are the same object.



There are people who don't believe in God but who are religious at the same time. Don't ask me how they manage it.



What does this even mean? Too much logic?



No, you are not sure. But even if I had read just the right amount, would it have made a difference?



I don't mean any disrespect. However it is something you can confirm for yourself. It is not every where in the world that people go about seeking miracles.

Maybe the less privileged get to have more miracles?



Lol. I have been to even native doctors. It should be easier to find proof of the supernatural with these, since evil spirits would gladly expose themselves to you, whether you have faith or not. I have not seen any, but my search is not over anyway.



I honestly don't know. But if there is a God, and this God is alive, would you reject his telling you that his life is uncaused or that it is evolved or that it came from nothing?

There are theories on how life came about, though nothing is conclusive yet. The theory of evolution makes it possible for the first life forms to have been very very simple compared to us. This in turn makes it easier to believe that they self assembled by chance, as opposed to wildly complex things like us coming about by chance. It is quite conceivable that such life came about by good fortune.


the big bang theory is too preposterous to believe. It is upheld by only those who dont want to face up to the fact that there is a God. Thts y an openly ridden theory like this shud still carry so much weight.

If the first forms of life were simple and came out of inanimate objects (probabilistically impossible) then since the process is all materialistic, all it would take to create life is simply to recreate the very events of d big bang.
Simple. Yet science cant do it!

Give scientists, a can off oxygen,hydrogen, carbon dioxide etc.

Do you have a better theory? God is even more preposterous than the big bang. At least the big bang tries to give you an explanation. With God, you have no explanation but for whatever reason that doesn't seem preposterous to you.

The big bang theory deals with how the universe got to its present state, not what caused the universe or how life came about.

The scientists haven't created life but its not safe to say that they never will. They are merely testing a hypothesis and they can replace this one with another if that other seems more viable. God is not proven by the failure of a hypothesis. What is your problem with humans creating life, anyway; does it make life any less sacred or does it make God any less powerful?

No. However, it's impossible for a woman, a human woman, to conceive without human s)emen being strategically deposited in her fallopian tubes.

IVF didn't exist 2000 years ago, and even if it had, we would still need human s)emen, not some imaginary seed.

Can a he goat impregnate a chicken? No.

Science would always look for an explanation for everything and the big bang theory is no diffferent.

the big bang theory starts with a claim that "a singularity" started everything which makes that singularity "the beginning" They claim they don't know what that singularity was or why and how it came into being. But am curious to know If you have any idea about what that singularity might be?

Also the theory talks about expansion rather than explosion. How did what is expanding comes into being and also I want to believe everything has got an elastic limit, does it mean we will get to a point where this earth will explode having exceeded its elastic limit?

Very good question/s. But you see, the religious side of the argument always begins with a high level of irrationality.

The best that science can do is speculate about the origins of the universe. But at least that speculation is based on testable models that produce the same results during experiments.

Religion, however, has brought nothing to the table other than sticking their hands in their ears and babbling.

There are other books of myths. No one believes them to be true, except maybe a few loons. Why should the bible, or the Qur'an, be any different?

How it came into being is what we are trying to find out.

Apparently it is the space that expands, not the bodies in it. The expansion, if it continues, is expected to result in the heat death of the universe. You could check physics websites and articles for all the details. Try these two:

It's impossible by what standard?

IVF didn't exist 2000 years ago, and even if it had, we would still need human s)emen, not some imaginary seed.

Of course IVF didn't exist then, I am not denying that. Your defense is confined only to what you know Bros. We are going back to the same issue here? You are confined to your 5 senses; I am not. For example, a persons soul can't be measured by the 5 senses but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The possibility of a virgin getting pregnant is impossible for someone limited by their 5 senses; you fit into that category.

Can a he goat impregnate a chicken? No.

You are the evolutionist; tell me. I am guessing by your theory; we all came from a fish or a tadpole.

Which is more plausible: that the laws of nature were suspended, or someone is telling a LIE?

This is where we defer. I believe God is supreme and can suspend the laws of nature because He created them. I believe it's plausible it was a LIE if the witness was from only one person - however; you have multiple people from different times; that didn't know one another confirming the same story - now, that's not plausible. Why would all the Biblical authors that lived in different times and ages decide to all LIE about the same subject? Most importantly, why would people that were killed for their faith LIE? Martyrs don't make good liars.

Also, do you only believe in things that your 5 senses can perceive?

Evolution starts from the first life. All creatures have common ancestry.


However, the speciation between a hegoat and a chicken is so far apart that reproduction between them is an impossibility; common ancestry is far different from reproduction

An entity which is regarded as being the immortal or spiritual part of the person and, though having no physical or material reality, is credited with the functions of thinking and willing, and hence determining all behavior.

I just told you that the original Hebrew scriptures say nothing about any virgin giving birth. What exactly do you want me to show you?

Where did the bible get that idea? Not only does a virgin give birth in the bible, but there was a corresponding prophecy in the old testament about it.

In response to your question about souls and spirits, I believe neither is real. Consciousness, though, is another thing, although there is no indication that it survives death or is immortal.

Let us deal with what you believe in since you don't believe in spirituality. What is the origin of consciousness? Also, can consciousness be perceived by any of the 5 senses?
