Just so you know: picking a specific definition for a word that is irrelevant to a second word that the first word happens to be a root for does not mean that the two definitions magically connect. You might not be aware of this since you're so fond of making up your own definitions, but...

You responded to nothing I said, and debated none of my refutations. I take that to mean that you have no counter to my points and they are all correct (since you won't answer any of my questions, the logical assumption is that you have no answer). Actually, he did a pretty good job. The only...

We already did that. You're just not responding to it. No. When you do something selfless (fight for your country), you are being selfless, and not vain (vanity doesn't even factor into it - it's about selfish versus selfless, and not about how you're excessively proud of yourself). You are...

You know, I'll save addressing this for later because I still want to know how vanity causes things like earthquakes, as you claimed earlier. Lets talk that one out before we worry about morality (also, you should clarify which moral system you're talking about, since there is no absolute or...

Well, theories are supported by evidence, so I don't know that it has the same place as myth (the flying pasta monsters come to mind). I disagree fully. Creationism should be taught as a myth (because it is), not a theory. Theories have evidence, myths are ideas constructed by religion. These...

It sure is tough when people want you explain or justify your claims, huh? Wouldn't want to waste space on actually responding to the refutations against you... You still haven't actually responded to the refutation, by the way. These are good questions, and kind of point out why god might...

Vanity doesn't create uneven resource distribution on the surface of the earth (which I'd say does a lot more for causing war/poverty than people being vain). So yeah, vanity does not create every issue. Every form? Even earthquakes, huh? That's a pretty interesting claim. Care to provide some...

If you are unwilling to engage in debate with valid points that I make, it's your right. You fail to explain in what way my point is ridiculous, though. This only serves as a good example of your refusal to address good refutations of your claims. Also, it's worth noting, in a debate...

The majority of religions that have existed have entire pantheons of gods, many of whom would be considered evil (or at the very least assholes). Most religions have approached the idea of gods as if they're just super-powerful versions of us. Personally, this seems to make a lot of sense - we...

This is interesting. First of all, there's nothing that I know of existing to imply that free will has some inherent value that makes it "good" or a "gift." There's nothing I know of that says we would not think and feel if our actions were predetermined. Which brings me to the second issue...

You wouldn't get canned for saying "Blacks are always thieves"? I want to work where you work, I could get away with anything. On the actual topic, I feel that being insulted/offended by words is a terrible waste of time. With the exception of racial slurs, I've been called every bit of...

And our efforts to use sound logic and trying to get you to make some sense weren't work? Well, I have a pretty easy answer to your question: It's pretty easy to talk about how organisms have evolved over time since they exist and reproduce. Where life came from has never factored into...

Actually, I was just asking for a clarification on what you believe. Just curious which way you approach the multiple gods thing. The way I hear it, you're only using 10% or so at any given point in time. You actually use the whole thing, just not all at once (after all, language centers are...

Sir, you are a comic genius. Evolution doesn't fail to see where life originates: it never even addresses it in the first place. How can it fail to do something it's not trying to do? You prove my point. It's no surprise, though, considering your 'source' says things like: "the evolutionary...

Though I'm sure this was probably rhetorical, I figured I'd answer anyways. Simply, if the sum total of this universe is zero (all of the negative and positive energy adds up to null), there wouldn't have to be anything for it to have been created from. Just food for thought. This is kind of a...

Even if your fabricated definition was the official definition (hint: it's not), we've made it clear what definition we're using, so your desire to force yours regardless just makes you look like you're simply unwilling to actually acknowledge anything anyone is saying other than yourself. From...

Correction - you're wrong. The ability to date objects to greater than 6000 years old undermines the happenings in the Bible quite well. Unless you're going for an interpretation where things like the age of the characters, the garden of eden, and the tower of babel are metaphors, in which case...

Not to bore you to tears by quoting myself, but: Number 1: Your claim: science is flawed in every avenue that opposes the Bible My response: Genesis 30:37-39 But wait, the Bible isn't a science book, you say? Then, sir, you contradict yourself wholesale. ____ Number 2: Omniscience...

It does speak for itself. Thank you for saying so. You would easily be able to tell bones apart from surrounding sediment by looking at them with your eyes, and you could date them with reliable dating methods. I'm not sure where the word diseased came in, but it's not relevant, since the...

Alright, lets do this. I never said that. What have you even been reading? I said: "lets not resort to insulting dead people" (Darwin - an individual) "Insulting an entire group of people by saying {evolutionists} are fabricating information is a bit much" (I was not aware all evolutionists...
