Struggling with the concept of infinite there mate? As long as there's enough sand then as unlikely as it may be, it is still an absolute certainty.
It's chaos theory, let's not get hooked on analogies. The complexity of it has caused people to attribute everything to a supernatural creator because it's just easier.
Do ya think? Most people tend to use it try and justify no creator. Its not really complicated and is the same as if my aunty had balls...
You patronising little twat You sound like a wannabe intellectual. As for the Muslim woman, people can choose to practice their faith however they want, its called religious freedom. Bonus **** points for using the highly gay phrases "Confused.com" and "lol wut?"
14bn years before man turned up, probably 100,000 years or less before man disappears again. 14bn years of 'creation' for a flash in the pan cameo from human life.
These switching website are hard work mate I requested a quote on Atheism and ended up Agnostic, now I don't know what to believe. #hereallweek
Utter nonsense. Light sensitive patches of skin developed over billions of years. Genes passed on through fish, amphibians, lizards, small furry mammals; and the leg bone's connected to the knee bone. Ties in completely with Darwin's initial theories of inheritance and adaptation. The fact that some people prefer a creator explanation (then why do we have a bloody blind spot? This creator is one slapdash cowboy, if we're made in their image) doesn't mean it's not a billion times more scientifically explicable with the empirical evidence than an Easter Bunny version of the eye's development. There's many inconsistencies and contradictions in a scientific theory nearly two hundred years old. Brilliant as Newton was, we now know that his explanation and calculation on gravity (though still accurate enough to send satellites and probes to the outer reaches of the solar system), his explanation doesn't pass the sat-nav/time dilation test that Einstein affords. And Einstein offers no explanation of gravity at a quantum level. Does this mean, as there's still no full explanation and still some inconsistencies in our understanding of gravity that Newton and Einstein were fools, and that the only explanation for what we don't know is a godhead? Would that be an omni-God, or is there a specific gravity god, much like a sun god or a mountain god?
That's interesting - organised religion 'owns' faith then? So if a Humanist, for argument's sake, doesn't attend meetings of their local Humanist society, they're not a Humanist? Look, about 15 years ago I became very, very close to a Muslim girl I worked with. There was no sex - no question of it with her religion - but she didn't wear headscarves or whatnot, she obvioulsy didn't drink alcohol, but she was a modern woman with an important HR job, a business degree (that she had to lie to her strict father about in saying that she was doing home economics), but she fasted at Ramadan and all that. She regarded herself as a Muslim woman. HER interpretation of Islam to me was that the Prophet had said no such thing about women being controlled and told how to dress, and that the woman's role of home maker and educator was more important than the man's role of 'provider', completely at odds with the fundamental, Stone Age/Taliban view of the world. And believe me, she could quote your scriptures to back up that viewpoint. Well, I couldn't/wouldn't wait (and there's no way I'd become a full time CofE again, never mind Muslim, and I started seeing another girl from work, that nearly led to marriage. I stayed good friends with the Muslim girl - she had to leave the country with her sister to live in Wisconsin, of all places, when her sister was dragged out her sixth form class and beaten black and blue by their cousins when it was perceived she was to close to a white schoolmate. The only person she told where she'd gone was my ex girlfriend, funnily enough. I last saw four years ago on a train to Leeds. She'd been married, and divorced. She was still a Muslim, in her eyes#, and she was a s gorgeous and vivacious as ever. And as she left the train I couldn't help but hear 'What a Fool Believes' in my head. Anyway, here's the point of this rambling anecdote - who decides whether she is a Muslim or not? If she's deemed not, why (#) does your religion (in the eyes of some of its proponents) prescribe death for an ex-Muslim? Whatever you think of Atheism and Humanism, we don't persecute and kill those of our ranks that find faith and see the light. Ridicule maybe....
