		<description><![CDATA[&quot;I suggest we should change the title, to something like: An amusing look at the stupidity of an Atheist”

This is coming from someone who talks to imaginary friends.  And calling someone stupid because they realize that imaginary friends are not real.  Who is the stupid one?

Gotta love how when people try to defend the existence of God by trying to make the real world fit to have a God.  They make up things such as God works in mysterious ways.  Bullshit.  Ways are mysterious because life is about randomness, not a God directing it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hilarious truly, I love the pictures and the whole dialogue, but let look at it more closely.

First of all, we should all question about dinosaurs, why didn&#039;t the Bible mention them? The quickest and the best answer is of course, the term dinosaur didn&#039;t even exist back then. If the term dinosaur didn&#039;t exist then how could an ancient Hebrew lived thousands of years before the first discovery of fossils. But you should ask yourself that first, the Bible told us that God created LAND creatures and SEA creatures. I don&#039;t know how clearer it could be.

Secondly, Creationism is not Christianity, again, Creationism is NOT Christianity. Since most Christians believe in evolution except a few minors, this guy against is showing his great ignorance of theology and religion.

Let&#039;s pass all the jokes about Jesus and dinos and get the the real points. If God decided to destroy the dinos, I fail to see why can&#039;t God did it in the span of millions of years and who is the speaker to say that God can&#039;t? Goodness this man is not just ignorant about religion but also science. He fail to see that everything that happened in the past itself is a contribution to the evolutionary chain. Plus if you&#039;re a scientist, the last thing you would want to do is to compare something to human. Walk out of the human thing for Pete&#039;s sake, comparing human to God is like comparing an ant to an elephant. Both mentally and biologically they&#039;re completely different. Then how long for God to caused evolution is God&#039;s problem, and should not be compared to what the human thinks. 

Note that Jesus can&#039;t blame God for being crucified on the cross because Jesus clearly chose to do it. If the speaker ever read the Bible with a rational mind, he would understand it.

Did Jesus really tell his disciples to drink his blood and eat His flesh as though as vampires and cannibals? An another conspiracy, since Jesus already dead and ascended up to Heaven, I fail to see how could a person drink blood and eat His flesh. Rather we should all read the whole passage that Jesus also told them to &quot;do this in remembrance of me&quot;, clearly Jesus told them to eat the bread and drink the wine in memory of His sacrifice, and to remember always that by His sacrifice, by his blood that their sins are purged.

So to conclude my message, I&#039;ll quote from Sam Harris with a little revision:

&quot;&quot;This is an American discussion, attesting to American ignorance, spoke for Americans who believe that ignorance is stronger than death. Listening it should provoke feelings of collective guilt in any sensitive secularist. We should be ashamed that this was said in our own time.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Hor

You nailed it. Time and time again atheist have no answer for origins yet they claim with great certainty. There is no God!!!

Mr Atheist how did origins take place? Uh, um we don’t know but we will eventually!

Mr atheist isn’t it possible there is a Creator? No, we do do KNOW that much.

They are faith based as much as anyone else and science turns out to be wrong more times than not when it comes to history. Being wrong is like a badge of honor for them. 

Their best argument are observer like rants. Attack the individual and offer no answers.&quot;

I don&#039;t normaly cut and paste, but this was just too good not to.  I could PROVE to you that god could not exist simply by using LOGIC, but the argument is very complex and most wouldn&#039;t understand it anyway, so I&#039;ll just mention it here. Let&#039;s imagine that there are two sets, one set contains all that came after the big bang and one that contains all that was before the big bang, or we could even call it creation.  Now BE, before, and AE after are sets, and we know that a set can not contain only ONE element.  Therefore, in the set BE, who are what are in that set?  God, and what else?  To say god is the only thing in the set isn&#039;t a valid argument because then it BEGS THE QUESTION, and loses it&#039;s logic.  So, in order to keep the logic in place, one would have to say that there is something or someone with god in set BE.  Also the argument that religion makes about there has to be a cause for an effect to take place, which then begs the question what was gods cause?  You can&#039;t have it both ways.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, anyone who argues that religion is more accurate than science is just plain misinformed and will NEVER see it any other way, period.

Gods are man-made, ALL GODS ARE MAN-MADE!  History, not science proves this for those who want to argue history or observation.  Proof:  The Romans, Greeks, Aztecs, and Egyptians all were convinced that they were worshiping the ONE TRUE GOD/GODS, and yet today we know those gods were false.  And yet, they built enormous structures (pyramids, the accropolis, etc) and today those structures are little more than tourist attractions.  They mummified their dead which now show up in our museums, they sacrificed thousands of humans in the name of their gods and today we know with CERTAINTY that was wrong.

And today, we have Christianity and Islam, and others who are JUST as convinced that their god/gods are real.  Doesn&#039;t that smack of irrationality?  Christians and Muslims build enormous structures, they kill thousands in the name of their god, they expect the dead to rise again; how much more PROOF does one need to see that history is simply repeating itself?

And yet again, Christians and Muslims refuse to even consider the FACTS.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Light and sound travels, so when it reaches you, you see or hear what happened at the time of it&#039;s origin.  Timewise you are seeing or hearing what happened in the past.  

Other examples, like trees, are a different type of history being observed since they aren&#039;t traveling from an origin.  They do show the changes over time, though.  Observation is made based on those changes to come up with a result of what did happen at one time.  Same thing with the car accident example, the beginning of the accident to the end of the accident.

And what is this stupid chop chop shit?  Are you cutting down trees or cutting up veggies?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Burebista
&quot;If you comes upon a wrecked vehicle, you see the results of the wreck (past) not the actual wreck which occurred in the past.&quot;
Yes, and what is wrong with that?
Experts are able to reconstruct the event with precision by measuring some parameters on the spot.

BUT, please do not forget that scientists DID directly observe many changes on stars, including explosions of them!
So, if they saw explosions (or other changes) on some stars, they can reconstruct also what happened with a star debris of which they discovered, without being direct witnesses of the event.
What is unusual or wrong here?

		<description><![CDATA[Burebista
What is actually your point?

If you see a star nicely sparkling today, and you know it is 4 light years far from you, then tomorrow you see it exploding, you positively and without any doubt know:
a) The star existed and sparkled 4 years and 1 day ago
b) The star exploded 4 years ago.
Whatever happens to the star next, we will se it 4 yeras later than it actually happens, and we will know it because:
a) We know how far the star is
b) We know how fast the light is running

If anything happens with our sun, we would know it some 500 seconds (about 8.3 minutes) later than actually happened, and we WOULD KNOW it, because we exactly know how far the sun is and how fast the light travels.

So, you DO see the event itself, just later than it actually occured. How much later? Depends on how far from us the event occured!

What is wrong with this conclusion?
I thought it was crystal clear!?
And why is it important at all?]]></description>
