God of the Gaps (well then, how did...")

No. That's not how it happened, dummy.

Those concepts were rejected by Abraham.
LOL
Abraham Who?
You Deranged freak?


"Historicity
In the early and middle 20th century, leading archaeologists such as William F. Albright and biblical scholars such as Albrecht Alt believed that the patriarchs and matriarchs were either real individuals or believable Composites of people who lived in the "patriarchal age", the 2nd millennium BCE.
But, in the 1970s, new arguments concerning Israel's past and the biblical texts challenged these views; these arguments can be found in Thomas L. Thompson's The Historicity of the Patriarchal Narratives (1974), and John Van Seters' Abraham in History and Tradition (1975). Thompson, a literary scholar, based his argument on archaeology and ancient texts.

His thesis centered on the Lack of compelling evidence that the Patriarchs lived in the 2nd millennium BCE, and noted how certain biblical texts reflected first millennium conditions and concerns. Van Seters examined the patriarchal stories and argued that their names, social milieu, and messages strongly suggested that they were Iron Age creations[7].

By the beginning of the 21st century, archaeologists had given up hope of recovering any context that would make Abraham, Isaac or Jacob credible historical figures.[8]""

Seems like the concept of falsifiability applies here. As in it cannot be falsified. But what cannot be denied is the diametrically opposed beliefs that Abraham introduced compared to the beliefs of his day. The creator of existence, the unity of God, the incorporeality of God.
 
That's what they said about Fire... Lightning, fertility, etc
They invented a god for what they didn't understand yet.
Welcome to God of the Gaps.

So getting back to your ridiculous implication that Judaeo-Christian beliefs were based on a god of gaps to explain things they did not understand and why this is a ridiculous assertion.

Judaeo-Christian beliefs replaced polytheistic beliefs that believed on a god of gaps to explain things they did not understand. Judaeo-Christian beliefs are literally the diametric opposite of god of gaps beliefs.

How is it that a supposed super intelligent member of Mensa could not know that?

No, those corals haven't recovered. 12 percent of the world's coral reefs were bleached last year. And, bleaching means they die and don't recover, which results in the animals that depend on the coral will either die or move to another place.

You're not up to date on coral reef research. Scientists now know that bleaching is a cyclical process, very much like fires as shown in a recent published study I read, and you obviously did not. Systems may burn from lightning, but they rebound. So too do coral reefs.
You delight in bad news which advances your cynical Leftist narrative. The truth will always elude you.

So there's no real evidence of Abraham I-suck and Jacob.

Judeo Christian beliefs are the same Godditit beliefs, and just another branch of Polytheism, concentrating power in one MAGIC place instead of many magic place.

You are an idiot. I love that you made a claim a Mensa claim. That was so funny.

ding, you are wasting your time and everyone elses trying to reason with the patently unreasonable.
Consider that those who parrot the "god of the gaps" nonsense themselves believe that nothing of the gaps created everything. Nothing of the gaps defined the extraordinarily fine tuned physical constants which make our lives not just possible but elegant and beautiful. Nothing of the gaps, they pretend, created the continuous electromagnetic spectrum, the elegant construction of matter, from only three disparate building blocks. Try it some time yourself in the garage. See how many different things you can make from three identical things, with no glue, no nails, no screws.

While reflecting on this magnificence last week, I had the epiphany that electrons form not only the external surface of every element, making them solid and strong, but also make possible our computers, our refrigerators and televisions and our brains as they move through not only copper cables, but also along our very nerves and brain cells. Nothing did this. Nothingdidit.

Ain't nothin' grand. Ain't nothin' better than nothin'. You got dat?

P.S. In anticipation of the giggy "gotcha," Who made God?

If somebody made God, then He wouldn't be God, would He?"- Professor John Lennox, Oxford University (A Matter of Gravity on YouTube - This should be required watching for all believers in NothingDidIt.)

So no rebuttal whatsoever in your posts/posts, just stupid ad hom.

Really, that's your problem here.
So let me save you additional years of making a Fool of your indoctrinated self in public with the basic facts.

There is Overwhelming Evidence for Evolution in many fields of science.
It is the very basis of modern biology.
There is NO evidence for god, your alternative. (just 'Faith', believe withOut evidence)


You can jabber (pretend you found a bitsy mistake) all you like you 12 IQ asshole, but that's where we stand now and will always stand.
But basically it's all Goddidit/god of the gaps/Argument from Ignorance Fallacy.
That's it.

If you were even a little smart you would realize YOUR FAITH is not evidence, and it's false object can Never be shown by anything but your emotions.
There is NO way to avoid your ongoing problem.
Same with all the godists.
Your religion (one of Thousands extant) is your personal fantasy.
ie, PoliticalChic doesn't even try/won't state her belief because she, at least, knows it's undefendable on a logical basis.


EDIT note the above Juvenile Picture show/Political IDIOCY by ChemEngineer which has nothing to do with there being a god or not, or contradicting Evolution.

Oh, no. Not the silly “gods fine tuned the universe”, claim. What the hyper-religious are not able to admit is that the methods of science have a pattern of shedding light into the dark recesses of the fundamentalist agenda that promotes fear and superstition.

The silly “fine tuning” slogan you have stolen from Christian extremist websites is nonsense. Here again, this slogan, like so many others, has been shown to be a farce. Yet you continually cut and paste these silly slogans because of your inability to offer any coherent explanation for the natural world.

As we see with regularity, explaining to you some fairly simple concepts leaves you befuddled. You just repeat the same silly slogans as if your ability to learn has been severely stunted. We live in a profoundly violent and chaotic universe, but are spared direct experience with most of that chaos because it occurs on cosmic and geologic time scales, while we exist on a human time scale. This (luckily for us) means most of us live our lifetimes in the brief moments of calm between supernovae, asteroid impact, and cometary bombardment.

Remember Schumaker-Levy? How about that little dalliance that occurred on this planet 65 million years ago? These things have been pointed out to you yet you are unable to address these issues. You do nothing more than repeat the same tired and false slogans you cut and paste from fundie websites.

Actually Hollie Neil DeGrasse Tyson is saying that the universe is a computer program created by a programmer who qualifies as God



Yawn can you present the species that you know were observed speciating yet?
 
Actually Hollie Neil DeGrasse Tyson is saying that the universe is a computer program created by a programmer who qualifies as God
No he isn't. Once again you post a video you never watched and totally misrepresent it. Freakish troll, begging for attention...

Tyson said that it is hard to argue against the universe being a computer program. His source is that if this is true then no dark matter is needed to prove the program.

You keep denying what your atheist hero is babbling, actually you are both rather funny

If it's on Larry King LIVE ... then it's an advertisement for a book ... some people have the strangest ideas of what science is ... I should write a book about it ...

A retarded physicist book no doubt, like the one Hawking published saying that nothing can escape from a black hole, then the doofus figured out that everything escapes via radiation
