There is more validity that has been confirmed in the Bible than most of the stuff we never question in history books. Proof is all around. 

And surfape dude, 

Archeology proves things. That's what it does. When there are stories believed to be false then time after time people, places, things, are confirmed it helps with the validity of something. Also, when you have the number of eyewitnesses that Jesus had, that's how things get passed down. Probably why billions celebrate Christ. 

To answer your idiotic answer, billions don't worship aliens, Bigfoot and whatever other stupid ass slap dick stuff you said. Billions worship Christ. 

Your dumb f in scientists can't prove anything. The best theory you have is that rocks collided and created life and that something was created from nothing. That is some stupid Harry Potter BS.  

So before y'all claim how smart you are, bring something to the table that isn't stupid. And the fact you put all your faith in scientists? Funny stuff

Now get back to collecting shells.

While i thank you for your laurels, i will kindly ask you not to denigrate gratuitous cursing, as i enjoy it immensely.  And yes, that is truly the hallmark of a vanquished ( or jealous) mind, to ostensibly (i really don't know what the fuck this guy is blathering about) deride my appearance to distract from utter intellectual rout.  FTW, yep its me, i'm on my sailboat in the bahamas, and the conch were delicious.

Look at offensive LOL. After you just refuted his arguments, he's making the SAME ARGUMENTS. Does he think they're any less invalid the second time?

So surf ape, in your infinite wisdom, you can admit since you just said


Simply because we do not precisely understand the conditions at the rise of our universe "

Then you can admit, since you don't know, that a supreme power that operates above our knowledge is possible?

The problem I have with the religious right is not leaving these wish fantasy's to yourselves. There are real problems in the world which real solutions are needed. Which take action and sacrifice. Not prayer, and belief. Rostos, and his ilk, are a roadblock to progress. Period.

You would get such a big F if you ever attempted a Philosophy exam. A big fat F....

You dont answer philosophical questions with emotional diorreah...

There is no doubt that surfape will admit this as a possibility. No one ever said it wasn't. It is just the most unlikeliest of scenarios and basically the last resort, if you will. There are so many other rational possibilities that need to be considered before resorting to a supreme being that transcends reality and the laws of physics. And like I've said repeatedly, I have no problem with believers, I have a problem with believers who think they KNOW and with faulty logic.

And surfape dude, 
 
Cite sources.  Peer vetted journals only.

Archeology proves things. That's what it does. When there are stories believed to be false then time after time people, places, things, are confirmed it helps with the validity of something. Also, when you have the number of eyewitnesses that Jesus had, that's how things get passed down. Probably why billions celebrate Christ. 
 
Again, RE your dubious archaeological claims, cite peer vetted sources.  As has been previously demonstrated, the last portion of this drivel is a logical fallacy.  Simply because a large number of people believe something, it does not make said something true.  99 percent of humanity have even the most rudimentary understanding of relativity or quantum mechanics.  That fact effects the validity of those two theories exactly nil.

To answer your idiotic answer, billions don't worship aliens, Bigfoot and whatever other stupid ass slap dick stuff you said. Billions worship Christ. 
 
Again, elementary logical fallacy, coupled with the most unlettered sentence structure imaginable.

Your dumb f in scientists can't prove anything. The best theory you have is that rocks collided and created life and that something was created from nothing. That is some stupid Harry Potter BS.  
 
I must have missed your "rocks colliding to make shit" theory.  Did your institute of higher learning teach that before or after moonshining 101?  Your infatuation with harry potter should discomfit jk rowling.

So before y'all claim how smart you are, bring something to the table that isn't stupid. And the fact you put all your faith in scientists? Funny stuff

Now get back to collecting shells.

I'm open to all possibilities. But when the theists start using words like, 'I know' and 'faith', you lose all credibility.

Hey, i have a gambling debt and it needs to be paid off. I dont have anyone money to pay it off, can you pay it off for me? I dont know you and you dont know me, but still, can you pay it off?

Actually, i just got off the phone with the bookie, he said, he will forgive my debt, if you, yes you go to his house, at his house, he will lash you 100 times on your back, then after the lashing, he and his heavies will drag you by the hair ont he ground for a few km's, then he has a very very big and heavy wooden cross that weighs 7-8 times than you do, you will need to carry that cross for a a few km's, everytime you fall, one of his heavies will whip you...

When you get to the end, they will drive 50 cm nails into ankles and hands.......and eventually die.

If you do this, they will forgive my debt, can you do this for me? Actually, the bookmaker said that they will forgive every single persons debt.....

They want you because you have never gambled in your life or done anything wrong...

Cmon, can you do this, after all, according to you, "it is no biggy"

I await your response....

It's no joke. I already told you there is nobody who never sins...what kind of brains do you have? Everybody has sinned one time or another. I'm sure the whole majority of us at one time or another has told a lie or stole something...those are sins...you get it?

Furthermore the greatest sin is not believing in Him and rejecting His only begotten Son Jesus Christ our Lord Savior.

If a mass killer who sincerely believes in God and ask for forgiveness and repents then sins no more, then yes he will be saved. God will know if this person is sincere or not so you can't deceive Him, whereas a person who rejects Him but has lived a decent life but mind you is still a sinner, that person will go to hell....understand?

It has nothing to do with Him being egotistical. He created everything and so He owns everyone's soul. Answer me did you create yourself?...the answer is no, did your parents create themselves?...the answer is no. Get it through that thick skull of yours and submit to whom created you.

If you don't want to believe in Him, how could He possibly allow you to join Him at His residence in heaven?

Keep mocking, keep ridiculing, let's see how brave you are when someday you know the time is coming, see if you don't finally breakdown and call Him for forgiveness and mercy. A whole lot of people like yourself will finally come to their senses, although I  don't truly know if it will be too late for you or not. God will be the judge.

A shame that you focused on philosophy whilst more learned individulas studied that as a hobby and learned the intricasies of the natural world which you remain so blithely ignorant of.  If this discussion is to be reduced to imaginary grades, i give you an F in physics, not the least of which for completely misunderstanding entropy and the second law, an F in cosmology for bastardising sir roger penrose and completely missing the point of hawking and other theoretitacl physiscists, and for selectively quoting einstein RE god, an F in biology, arcaeology, chemistry, and history, and i'm sure quite a few other failures.  I'll take your f in pholosophy, though i would undoudbtedly surpass you there as well.

Begging the question is related to the circular argument, circulus in probando (Latin, "circle in proving") or circular reasoning, though these are considered absolutely different by Aristotle.[1]


Another F if you attempted to answer this question in a philosophy exam.

funny how you quote aristotle, he is the main proponant of "from nothing, comes nothing"....

You simple failure to answer a basic dihotomy indicates your strike out.

As i expected....
