Knowing everything is one of the attributes of God, remember? It's hard to figure how he could know everything yet clearly not know it - a logical contradiction. To me, I think God has the power to do anything, even do stuff that is totally illogic...  [Read More]

How does God not know what happens inside of this engine? God doesn't want to know. It would upset the purpose of making the RICE in the first place. :xp: How does this random selection provide free will anyway? Even if it's random you're still ONL...  [Read More]

From this, we can discover a few things: since God created us, he knew exactly what he was getting into. Since he knew this, and still created us in the way we are, with the limitations we have, he MUST have decided that this was what he wanted. Sinc...  [Read More]

I will only take a moment to point out that nowhere have I told you to "shut up". In fact this is the first time that I have addressed you in this thread. Please don't put words in my mouth in the future. Thanks in advance. I was not putt...  [Read More]

I've already addressed this exact issue on page 1. I don't trust things I observe to be absolute truths. Science does not claim it can find absolute truths. The only thing science does is find models that seem to fit what we percieve, and nothing mor...  [Read More]

I think you're going to find that relativism will get you into more trouble than it will get you out of in some cases. If "truth" is what you perceive, than what is "true" will differ from person to person. Another way to put thi...  [Read More]

It may not be a constructive argument, necessarily, but it is an interesting one, I think, and so on to the point of this post: Isn't science, by the definition I put above, a religion? That would explain the ritualistic scarfice of frogs we do in b...  [Read More]

The fundamental of the faith is the Rede. "If it harms none, do as thou wilt." However, "harm none" is the BIG key. It includes harming yourself, and it expands to include all creatures and the Earth. And if you do something stupi...  [Read More]

The one that non-believing scientologists and atheists tend to favour is the disproven (which they mustn’t realise or not understand) theory of spontaneous generation, which is that life, arose from non-living matter. Since when can you create li...  [Read More]

/offtopic silent, why do you consider selfish and evil to be the same thing? Well, selfish people usually are evil. Have you ever seen a good or pleasent selfish person? And I don't see God really being egoistic, at least when talking to us. He's...  [Read More]

The above argument is an excellent example of why I believe in ethical relativism and that it is very useful when applied to this circumstance. You can't change someone's opinon here. ;) I don't think that other Gods exist, there is only one God, wh...  [Read More]

Anyone know the real reason why Rakatas become blinded to the force? 1) In-breeding. Appernatly, FUers breeded with FUers, so soon, people forget the Force... 2) Star Forge. That machine that creates tons and tons of tiny little Rakatan ships appera...  [Read More]

I am an ethical relativist, so I see the need to intervene and make a small defense of it. You see the pedophile as evil, but does the pedohpile see himself as evil? No, he thinks that what he is doing is justified. That is the core of ethical reva...  [Read More]

Alright. For the sake of debate (as well as presenting my view of the Dark Side...) To me, all feelings and beliefs are very irrational. They represent people's desires, and it intervenes with people's ability to make rational, sane desicions. They...  [Read More]
