You did subtractions on top a false equation and then applied algebra.? Do you just simply ignore the problem you will have doing that? Working on false equations will likely give false answers. The equation I have put to you over and over is this: God+1 = Gilbert. You can say it's false all you like but you have not shown it to be so. Producing faulty answers off of false equations will not do. You can make up as much other stuff all you like, but you have not resolved that particular one. Its real simple jes. If you cannot do God+1 then God is not omnipotent. If you can , then God's value has changed to Gilberts. Faith only enough to move a mountain. But not faith enough to move a mountain +1. stu
There are three . ....or what you are calling design is not design, but is something else you have omitted to mention. That too would be real. Not an illusion. Children aren't being taught that 'purposefulness is scientifically proven to be an illusion'. So what's your real beef? False accusation and red herrings. are reasons why ID/Creationism is treated with such contempt. The many groundless and often downright dishonest statements made by its proponents loses any of its own purposefulness for ever being taken seriously. Invalid does not work in science. Invalid is not science. ID/Creationists constantly do try to create an invalid a priori assumption to fix onto science, outside of what science teaches. But it's not working and it won't work because it's not science. I agree wholeheartedly with you on that. Philosophical materialism disguised as empirical science is a fitting description for ID/Creationism. That indeed has no business being taught in public school. That being the case you will need to step away from ID/Creationists philosophical speculations and any metaphysical faith beliefs to apply the scientific method. But it is already applied. So you would find what science does . That "apparent design" then speaks out for itself... It shouts EVOLUTION at you.
Your inability to see the meaning of the words is beyond belief. How does one butcher a message by copying and pasting? Here is an example: That was a nice cut&paste job, wasn't it? And fixed your grammar, too.
Are you a practicing Buddhist? As I said before, you don't have to be a chicken to know that a chicken can't swim.
You are comparing a chicken not swimming to a spiritual practice? Tell me, could someone act like they were a Buddhist, wear flowing robes, shaved head, living in a Buddhist Temple, be seen chanting, meditating under a tree, etc. and not actually be practicing Buddhism? It is pretty clear from the evidence that you provide that people who have never practiced or been on a spiritual path judge a spiritual practitioner on the basis of how they act...not on the basis of what goes on inside the person.
Your inability to see the meaning of the words is beyond belief. You see the meaning of words? Oh Lordy Lordy, Lordy... How does one butcher a message by copying and pasting? Here is an example: That was a nice cut&paste job, wasn't it? And fixed your grammar, too. Now the self appointed grammarian alters quotes as the only method of saving face? Oh, the materialistic chit never ends...

"I see, said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw." Really amazing that some folks select the 4th definition of a word, when they can just as easily use the first definition of another word to communicate their meaning...
