are you claiming man knows everything?!? 40 years is (pretty much) NOTHING!! just because something seems difficult to explain with what we know now does not mean it IS a low probability event!!! AGREE WITH ME HERE AND YOU WILL BE MOVING FORWARD!!!
Following your logic, that man doesn't know everything, then man doesn't know if God exists or not, and therefore the existence of God cannot be categorized as a low probability event. Just because the experience people have with God are difficult if not impossible to explain to those who have not had those experiences, doesn't make them less probable of being true and factual. There is no scale to measure them.
as i have stated, i do not claim to know if a god(s) exists or not. however, i DO know that man-made explanations of "god" DO NOT ADD UP.
"If they had evolved the survival of the fittest would naturally eliminate these flaws." Two problems with this statement: 1) Evolution does not REQUIRE that all flaws be naturally eliminated by survival of the fittest. A "flaw" may not always cause the animals probability of survival to "drop" via survival of the fittest. 2) The animal with the flaw may simply not be far enough down its evolutionary path to have "ditched" the flaw. At any point in the evolutionary line, there WILL BE flaws present which nature is currently "weeding" out. In any case.... flaws are expected under the evolutionary trial and error model. But a world chock full of flawed animals and processes does NOT bode well for a super powerful all knowing designer who cant even seem to RE-USE some of his better designs across animals. "they were created but were given flaws to limit overpopulation then the flaws would seem to keep cropping up which they do." Hehehe... now your forced to theorize that god is making errors on PURPOSE Something which you can't prove, and something which makes the creationist argument seem even sillier. Gee... why doesn't god simply design the animals to regulate their birth rates, instead of doing something silly like building in all kinds of cruel flaws which slowly kills them via horrible diseases, et all?? Some animals CHANGE their sex in a single sex environment so they can procreate. Seems like it would be pretty damn easy to make animals turn off their sex drive in overcrowded conditions, huh? Just another can of worms for creationist theory. Just doesn't make any sense. peace axeman
"Following your logic, that man doesn't know everything, then man doesn't know if God exists or not, and therefore the existence of God cannot be categorized as a low probability event." To be more precise, the existence of god cannot be categorized AT ALL using probability. Same goes for three headed unicorns. Now I ask you, what kind of person believes in an entity which has not been proven to exist, and who's odds of existence cannot even be calculated??? My answer: an irrational one peace axeman
axeman, i must give you my highest compliments. you are truly a great thinker and anyone who denies this is a fool!
Hehe.... I guess your calling Longshot a fool then The ONLY person on my ignore list on ET. peace axeman
