You seriously suggesting that nobody recorded what happened at WWI, and only 40/50 years later did anyone write anything down and codify it?
Just flicking through some of the God channels on sky. They're all begging for money to send abroad, one even has a bank account number at the bottom of the screen Give god ya money.
Context mate, context I know you don't like it but it is what it is. Follow the conversation and what I was responding to. It's not like you to just post a bit and argue it, is it?
Never said you specifically did. But as you will see if you look back he was mentioned more than any other I am still waiting for you to name these great minds. Or are you avoiding that bit?
Still waiting for you to come up with a biologist or archeaologist that prefer creationism over natural selection. So far all you've given is a misspelt name that can't be checked.
I may have spelt things wrong but you seem to have an issue reading. Who said anything about creationism? I am not a creationist or believe in it. NB creationism as the in the Looney christian stance I gave you a name, misspelt or otherwise, yet its taken you pages to ask for clarification? Maybe as you had your arsenal handed to you in the verses discussion?
She needs one putting on her Not that I'm saying she should have one put on her, that would be inciting
No point in this debate now that Dunc has resorted to grammer to feel like he has won so he can High 5 his GC weirdos and some posters are trying to shove their own bellends up their own ring pieces just to prove that God does not exist I don't care whether you believe in God but a lot seem to care that I and others do. I don't care that some of you are pagans and heavily involved in the swinging scene and that pleases your Sun God but you seem to care that I bow down to something I've never physically seen. I use science to further cement my faith in God, that's always the case, so science is very useful to me.
I would suggest - and I'm guessing most historians would agree - that no reasonable analysis of any event can take place for some time after it occurs. I would also argue that the only people whose contempory account of WWI came close to portraying the reality were the poets. It took at least one generation before those who did not experience the conflict began to understand the experiences of those who did. Famously, Harry Patch, the UKs last WWI veteran, didn't talk about the war at all to anyone but other veterans, for nearly 80 years after the event. After that it seems he talked about little else. As for the Bible, it's always easy for anyone with an agenda to rip it apart. What you fail to understand is that it is first and foremost a work of poetry. And poetry, which almost never approaches it's subject directly or literally, often gives us truths about the human spirit more profound than any other method of analysis or description. It's my opinion that poets, from the pagan Ovid, through the profoundly Christian John Donne and William Shakespeare, to the Muslim Omar Khayam, and the pagan Ted Hughes, are often touched by the hand of the divine. And if you want to understand man's fraught and bewildering relationship with the mtsteries of existance, you might consider using poetry as a window on the soul. I include in this the poetry of the holy books. Of course this will only make sense if you believe humans actually have souls. Makes no difference to me what you believe, carry on mocking if it makes you happy. Many are they who came to mock but remained to pray.
