(medicalmatt) It's like saying a supercomputer is just a bunch of wires. The point was not to say anything about the complexity of DNA, but to point out that what defines "life" can be defined in completely naturalistic terms.(medicalmatt) The problem, is that there are soooo many biological...

(His By Grace;48034) For a Christian nation, we sure have strayed far away. But I do understand your point, Lunar. And as far as the first 5 commandments, I wasn't really talking about extreme religious groups like Muslim, Atheists, or Buddhists. I was thinking of the average Joe or Jane in...

(His By Grace;47976) There is more controversy over Biblical material being in the public than any other subject we ever see/hear of. That's because Jesus forewarned us that the world hated Him, so they will hate those who stand with Him as well. No, it's exactly the opposite: It's because...

(tim_from_pa) The thread merely started as a question regarding if government should use the ten commands as a basis for law. And whether they should be on public display. That's what I was answering. I think a cursory inspection of the founding documents will reveal that Christianity and/or the...

(tim_from_pa;47919) Can you find any fault in my reasoning? Yes.The contemporary problem of displaying the Ten Commandments on public display in a courtroom or government building - which I believe was the implied problem, since the original poster asked if they should be considered the basis of...

(medicalmatt;47797) Honest...show me that something came out of nothing The argument here, in its essence, is that everything that we see within the universe must have a cause, therefore the universe itself must have a cause. The problem with this argument is that it commits the fallacy of...

(Called 2 Conquer;47757) The US Judiciary and US Government are all flagerantly violating the the laws set forth by this country by constantly and consistantly attacking Christians and Christian traditions that founded this country. The founding fathers were deists by and large, not Christians...

(Called 2 Conquer;47759) Second the reason you find few post on darfur is because the church is trying to do something about darfur unlike our goverment. Regardless of who's doing what, Darfur is bigger news than homosexuality. It demonstrates misplaced priorities.(Called 2 Conquer) Third yes it...

(Called 2 Conquer;47749) You still don't get it do you? You cling to to the notion of the US Constitution is right. I love this country but its not the be all and end all. Lets see, for example, the US is a little over 200 years old. God is infinate. The US law was written a little over 200...

Called 2 Conquer:If you read the original post, the point of this thread is not whether homosexuality is a sin. It's why such a disproportionate amount of attention of Christian groups is placed on it. A recent search on a conservative Christian web site produced 500 hits for "homosexuality" and...

(RaddSpencer;47399) Like this guy for instance (known as DeepFriedFetus): I don't know why you keep trying equate my position with some random person on Digg. Digg and Slashdot are not interesting or intellectual communities and I don't visit them. It's a complete straw man - if we're going to...

(RaddSpencer;47294) I think it is fair that he is criticizing Darwinism. Its not like it is holy beyond reproach. Heck, anything in academia can be challenged and questioned, and it happens all the time, without any problems. Darwinism is a misnomer; the theory started with Darwin but it has...

I disagree, C2C. Like adren@line said, the latter six are things we all accept regardless of the religion, but the first four just cannot be reconciled with freedom of religion.(Called 2 Conquer;47268) The First Commandment:You shall have no other gods before me. This doesn't violate freedom of...

(RaddSpencer;47241) I think you just summarized every complaint from digg.com and slashdot.org in your one post. You must be CmdrTaco himself XD. I don't read digg or slashdot, but these claims are true regardless of what website they get posted on.(RaddSpencer) And its also weird how angry...

(kriss) Well we have discussed this before but you are making assumption that are not nessarily true you thinking of slavery in the more modern term of the Word aquitainting it with civil war type slavery that is wrong we are talking a time when there were no large companies, no way of long...

I have to say I was pretty disappointed with Ben Stein on the production of this film, and not just because it wasn't particularly entertaining or tactful. It was also just plain dishonest, and that's what I think is really tragic about all this. If Stein actually believes what he does, why...

(RaddSpencer;47193) One thing that I have noticed is that you assume that God is like us. You assume that when God destroyed civilizations or peoples in the Old Testament that He was doing something which was morally wrong. This is because you have humanized God. You have turned God into a human...

Hello again, everyone. A while back I left the site, mainly in reaction to what I perceived as a hostile environment towards differing opinions. I do feel that this is a valid complaint, but I won't dwell on it. At the same time, this is the site where I discovered my faith in Christ, and many...

(Denver;36767) Frankly, you guys are all the same. Well, thanks for giving me the opportunity to even respond before you called the match in your favor.I have to say, I'm really not a fan of the dripping contempt with which every response to me in every thread on this forum has been laced. The...

(Denver;36599) You're taking a system in Europe and trying to apply it to America where the country is as big as the entire continent put together and then tell me it doesn't cost? We have far and away the largest budget and yet we either don't have these programs or have a fraction of them in...
