whocares:
Again.BITE ME!

Why would I do such a thing? I have nothing against you

whocares:
As your way is obviously the only way

You are free to present alternative ways. I promise to look into their merits. Irrational faith does not do the trick for me

Many thanks again for all the compliments. I will try to post new pictures in the coming days

And please, all of you married couples with children, follow my example. I just love to see those pictures.

whocares:
I believe in God, so BITE ME.

I don't need evidence, i don't need proof...i choose (how novel a concept) to believe.
Even the english dictionary gives the same definition of Faith - Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence/The theological virtue defined as secure belief in God and a trusting acceptance of God's will.

MY CHOICE, i don't owe nobody an explanation

Indeed, your choice. Your choice is entirely irrational and as a matter of fact anti-rational. You may indeed choose such a thing, but that choice should not bind anyone, because it is based on absolutely nothing.
Please refrain from engaging in any activity that requires rationality. You have [b]no [/b]position to reason from.

joftech:
People arguing for and against God should read the following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God

Thank you for the link, I did't read anything new, though. What's your purpose?

goodguy:
So in anyway, it is impossible for there to be freedom of choice and freedom from suffering at the same time.

And how did you get to that conclusion?

joftech:
Evolution does not explain how the world come into being,

Nobody that understands evolution ever would

joftech:
All the world religion admit the existence of a supreme being. Am sure the originator of the traditional Yoruba religion did not have any contact with Budha, etc

Buddhists do [b]not [/b]believe in a supreme being

joftech:
That shows that there must be a supreme being that unite them on all continent together.

Your first premise is incorrect. And even if it were correct, how does that prove anything? Please explain

joftech:
There are miracles that are happening today that defies all known logics and postulates by scientist

Record them and submit them to James Randi (http://www.randi.org/research/), you could win 1 million dollars. Nobody has won the prize yet though. How many miracles were you talking about?

charlisco:
I advice you to meet any Jehovah Witness in your vacinity to give you book taking about "does the world came into being through evolution"

I can already answer that one for you. No, the world did not come into being through evolution. Evolution does not deal with the origin of the world. It's of no use asking a carpenter to do your plumbing, as carpenters are not in the business of plumbing.

dejiolowe:
but as last shot, you talk of life forms.. hmm. why don't someone see a perfectly working TV with digital reception on a TV stand somewhere and it could be proven that it evolved? if we came from simple life forms, how did those simple life forms got there? which came first, the chicken or the egg since each is inter-dependent.

I could explain this to you in detail, but I'm not going to invest the time and energy if you're not going to listen anyway. It's up to you.

If you still have objections, point them out in detail and I'll address them.

[SNIP]
You cannot have so-called therapeutic cloning without reproductive cloning because the technique to make cloned babies is the same as to make a cloned embryo to try to make replacement tissues. And at the speed at which biotech is accelerating there will soon be other ways to get such cells

Not true, you can limit it's use to therapeutical needs.
