Hi Everyone,
I've been reading this thread with interest.
Has anyone read the book 'Contact' by Carl Sagan? This book contains a lot of stimulation for all sides of this debate and for those of a mathmatical bent, there is a section of the book that you will truly love (I would hope). I would rate it in my personal top 10 favourite reads and would highly recommend it to contributors to this thread as it should provide for some interesting discussion.
Now for some light-hearted humour...
There is an episode of Red Dwarf (a BBC sitcom), in which we see a brief piece of TV footage where the commentator states...
Archealogists today uncovered the missing first page of The Holy Bible. The text reads 'All characters in this book are purely fictitious and any resemblence to persons living or dead is purely coincidental'.
Just some light relief for this interesting thread 🙂
Best Regards,
Chris

reminds me of that bit in one of the Hitchhiker's GTTG books where they get to a remote planet to view God's last message to His creation, which is written in mile-high flaming letters, and it says
SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE

well, that was long and interesting and long and interesting..
God cannot really exsist though, because how does the world exsist when something created it? Something has to create something to make another thing, in sincere terms. I know, I haven't been on RHP for long, and probably haven't been around as long as some of you poster (PROBABLY...) but theoretically speaking, how can God exsist?
Take the Atheists for example. They don't believe that God exsists, and that we are all equal. If God reckons we're all equal, howcome to Muslim God is trying to send his (bound to be...) people on Jihads against Western Civilisation?
Another thing, if He wanted us to be equal, how come people have vices and virtues, all personal to themselves? Why aren't we all perfect in the eyes of one another?
This is the longest post i've Posted so far, and I am going to stop it right now.
If anyone has flames to go against me because of this post (ONLY THIS POST IN PARTICULAR) challenge me and whoop my ass. I don't care, only He, the major domo upstairs does.
Originally posted by Jarede88Wow, if God made everything, then he must have made my Zippo lighter (which, after all. is something). I guess that means He lives in Bradford, PA. Since you know Him, could you let Him know that the lighter he made was defective, and that He owes me a new spring mechanism for the flint? Much obliged...
i cant belive some people talk about him so lightly. I say of course there is a God and he is the creater of anything and everything around us. i think more people need to stop and take a look at what all he has done and how unworthy we are to even know him. 🙁

I was told somewhere that I have dominion over plants and animals. Why won't the tobacco recognize the dominance over it God granted to me? It fights back, I set fire to it and it appears again in my hand hours later.😕

He or she is just a school kid, bbarr
In the Netherlands we would say that your kind of humor is "flauw"
That means it could use a bit of salt, just to spice it up a little.
Originally posted by bbarrYea verily, Brother Bennett, the crafty serpent hath found a truly creative avenue to grant you pleasure while holding you hostage. But you are theologically correct that indeed you do have dominion, but alas, as life is sometimes ambiguous and perplexing (that is theologically correct as well), the serpent hath bitten thee in the ass. But let's not get into a discussion about God creating the vile weed in the first place. We all have our vices.

Originally posted by ivanhoeIn Seattle, we would say that you were being a bit "sensisitve", and then we might laugh at you because you sound "funny" when you say "flauw".
