Zone1 The God Proof

Its in the underlying falsehoods and white Christian nationalist political propaganda that you force into every conversation when you write.

So you can't point to one single post in this thread that proves your point?

You have no point then. You are tilting at windmills.

What I say: The Republican Party through its well organized dominance of well organized white Catholic and white Evangelical Christian believers under Ralph Reed and Elon Musk right now is actively trying to destroy western liberal democracy that was given life by New World men in the 18th century who most importantly understood there had to be separation of church and state.


Ralph Reed June 2024 Washington Post interview:

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS MY FRIEND {Reed forgot to say: who attempted to disenfranchise 81 million voters including black Christian voters on January 6, 2021.}

Republican Party platform since 1984 at the most recent and since 1980 at the latest. And it's important that a party--let's be clear--that unique among all parties in the history of Western civilization was founded out of the remnants and out of disaffected supporters of other political parties. It was really founded as a third party in order to right a wrong, in order to ameliorate an evil, in order to eliminate from our national life what was a collective and national sin, and that was slavery and racism. We believe that the taking of innocent human life in their mother's womb is equally a national sin and equally morally wrong, and if the Republican Party wants to continue to enjoy the fervent and the enthusiastic and the robust support of conservative orthodox people of faith, that needs to continue to be the position of this party.

And for that reason--and look, President Trump is my friend, and I've strongly supported him, as you know. And our organization worked closely with him as president, and we look forward to doing so again. But I would encourage the Trump campaign to proceed with great caution in sending any message of vacillation or retreat when it comes to the defense of the innocent unborn.

Only those begging for it.. unless I'm too busy.. which is usually the case.. so yes, pretty much never.
- desert dwellers go screaming crazy whenever they hear - diversity equity inclusion - surly for them that is straight from the depths of hell brought to the surface by non other than liberals their most hated and despised enemy.
You spelled surely wrong.. and don't call me Shirley.

 
Why would you assume that?
If all scripture came from God I'd think you want to know everything God has revealed. If scripture came from man then none of it reveals God. Or is it only Catholic scripture that come from God?

I grew up in a large family. I was quite used to us all having different views of the same thing--and I am not even referring to religion. There are a lot of different views of Donald Trump. They can't all be correct, so he must not exist, or if he does, he's just the creation of a number of people. Our President is man-made and a figment of our imaginations.
Trump has revealed himself to the world. People talk to him and he answers.

Are you a parent; did you have any siblings? Did everyone see your parents exactly the same? Do you see your children in exactly the same way? Are your relationships with everyone you know identical?
I am a parent and a sibling. I believe parents should let know their children know what is expected of them but all of their children should be told and judged by the same standards. The child should not have to guess what a parent expects.
 
A few reasons. Cold blooded, no opposable thumbs, couldn't use fire. Maybe research the caloric requirements of human brains and spatial awareness?
They weren't cold blooded and could easily have developed opposable thumbs as many were arboreal. It seems that the ultimate in evolution was big brains.

Not sure why you think longevity is the measure of intelligence though. I would say look at accomplishments that are commensurate with intelligence.
I think longevity is the measure evolutionary success. The cockroach is an evolutionary success. Our success has yet to be measured.
 
That's because you don't see how nature built towards intelligence. It's not a single example. It's the culmination of ever increasing complexity.

But you really don't see how it's the nature of intelligence to create intelligence? Or is it that you don't want to cede any ground no matter how self evident it is?

Humans are obsessed with making smart things.
Even it it really is the nature of intelligence to create intelligence, intelligence does not necessarily come from intelligence. First cause issue.
 
Feel free to share what you think are random processes. Because you aren't going to fly waving your arms like that.
The uncertainty principal, chaos theory, meteor strikes, volcanic eruptions, and genetic mutations.
 
You are really getting desperate. It's not the universe that determines if it is finely tuned to produce life and intelligence, it's the structure of matter and the laws of nature that determine that. So why would they be different?
Why indeed? You ask a good question that we don't have an answer to.
 
What can't be true is that you prefer hard science guided by hard evidence. You don't know jack shit about science and you make little to no effort to understand it. This is especially true for the origin of the universe.
Here are some books I've read just in 2025:
  • Particle Physics for Non Physicists - Steven Pollock
  • Existential Physics - Sabine Hossenfelder
  • Mysteries of Modern Physics - Sean Carroll
  • The World According to Physics - Jim Al-Khalili
 
Incorrect. When you can tell me how the CMB was produced, then you will know just how big of an idiot you are for arguing against the science of the big bang.
Let me know when you finish reading the physics books I listed and we'll talk.

I see it this way. If my gold mine is in California I have no need to go hunt gold in Africa, India, or even Alaska. My gold mine is the Bible, and as a good part of that was translated from Hebrew, there is quite enough to go through learning the languages, history and cultures of those times. Then we travel into Greek and Latin. I haven't gone through all the gold here yet, and as that is plentiful, I'm content.

That being said, I am receptive and attentive to those wishing to share their faith/religion with me. I especially enjoy the bits my Muslim students share. I also learned a lot about the Hindu faith from my daughter's college roommate.

My sister and a brother-in-law are Buddhist. And, of course the atheists in the family have their views as well.

Tell me, do you advise professional athletes to spend a lot of their time on other pro sports?

No room for independent choices and individualism then.
