    There is nothing to win. We are not ready to accept the fact that there is no problem. Actually, there is no problem, but we have only solutions offered to us, and we accept the solutions offered to us by those whom we consider to be in possession of the truth, in possession of the wisdom. And those solutions do not help us to solve the problems at all, you see. So we replace one solution with another solution. The problem is the solution, and the solution has not helped us to solve the non-existent problem. So actually, it is the solution that has created the problem, and we are not ready to throw the solution out of the window, because we have tremendous confidence in those who have offered these solutions as the things that will free us from the problems that the solution has created for us.

    Sit on your hands then if you believe we are what we are and there is nothing to win. After all, that is what is best so as to not get in the way of progress.

    When we know there is nothing to win, nothing original, then we are free to live as our nature tells us. Anything else is a con game.

    you still fall short of proving he doesn't exist - plenty of theistic commentaries on issues surrounding the old and new testaments

    You are correct. There is no evidence either way aside from personal experience, which goes both ways.

    You all obviously know very little about the Bible, the world was not mostly water until the Noahic flood. THe vast majority of the water was in the atmosphere, blocking UV rays.

    The assumption of Abrahamic religions is that the Earth was made for mankind. But the Ocean is far too big and too deep. It's not as if there is a lot of life in the very deep ocean so that people could eat them. There should be more shoreline, and more continental shelf. I mean 2/3 of the planet? Is that really necessary?

    Spidergoat, in Abrahamic religions the water is a ctually a punishment upon wicked man, if you're going to make such a controversial coment at least back it up with research before hand.

    Yes, the old religious truism:
    Man is naturally wicked, and believers should not feel guilty doing wicked things to non-believers.
    You can be late on your bills with a non-believer, it's okay.
    You can sexually molest the children of non-believers...it's cool.
    You can butcher them with impunity. They're just non-believers.

    The only reason one needs to feel important is to control.

    Spider has made his point by showing the Earth is not equipped to convey the presence of a god, however caring or perverse that figure would be.

    I avoided talk of Noah, because it's an obvious fabrication. But the existence of such large and deep oceans and so few islands seems to prove that the Earth was not made just for people.

    Even though you posted in Religion, this is a science forum. I regard the bible as a work of fiction rather than a credible source and I think I have lots of company.

    Keith1, your message had absolutely nothing to do with my point, "believers" weren't said to have flooded the earth during Noah's flood, God did. ANd it stands to reason that if God made something out of nothing then he doesn't have to be particularly nice to it, he can do whatever he wants. I don't like the idea, you don't like the idea, but in reality, that is how it works, when I make something, it's mine, and if I decide to break it, it's my business. As it is, I'm sure everyone can relate to making something, not being satisfied, then redoing it, are you a terrible, unloving person because of that? And you say you avoided Noah because its an obvious fabrication but you can't do that, you can't try to address a religion (the abrahamic one) but then ignore certian sections of it to try to make your point valid. You said:


    The assumption of Abrahamic religions is that the Earth was made for mankind. But the Ocean is far too big and too deep. It's not as if there is a lot of life in the very deep ocean so that people could eat them. There should be more shoreline, and more continental shelf. I mean 2/3 of the planet?

    In reality Abrahamic religions do address that, whether your willing to believe them or not is your own personal choice, discounting them from having any validity is a mistake.

    ANd the world wide flood in and of itself is almost undeniable, because of the thousands of documents from different cultures all claiming it's existence and all detailing the facts close to identically, (THe babylonian flood, the Noahic flood, THe Chinese flood, and a number of other ancient cultures renditions of the tale, all including the same pivotal facts, only changing names and exact measurements of the ark.

    At the time, those people had no technology to determine if whatever floods they experienced were truly worldwide. Also, there is no evidence of any worldwide terrestrial debris layers on the ocean's floors, which would have to be there if there were a worldwide flood. So, that didn't happen.

    What a concise way you were able to explain something that did or didn't happen 7000 years ago. All of the stories start in different places scattered along the world, they all end up on the same mountain in Russia. If the flood story were true then a boat would've had to have traveled hundreds of miles over a land locked area then been deposited thousands of feet above sea level. To those people who expierienced it, it would've been fairly obvious that the flood had been world wide. And actually one doesn't have to assume that there would be any world wide terrestial debris because at the water pressure of anywhere to four to five miles in depth in debris would've been reduced to highly compact material or sand, which I would say we do have plenty of sand in the oceans.

    "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." - Romans 1:18-20

    I went and hunted this down just for you, spidergoat, because I remember reading it many years ago. I'm not a Christian myself, but this is the Bibles response in any case. Just gloss over all of the nonsense about how wicked you are and you'll see that there is actually an interesting point there. One could argue that the world was indeed made for us but that God decided to show off his almighty skillz while he was at it. And I think he's done a pretty good job too. I mean, look at the universe. There's not an agnostic person on the planet who doesn't start thinking of God while they are pondering the monumental vastness and seemingly infinite complexity of what is laid out before us. Even some of the greatest physicists of our age have talked about it in a religious way.

    So I guess that on the day of judgment when we're all standing before God a little bitter about the fact that he didn't give us a heads-up, he'll say something like "The universe, duh! Billions of galaxies, billions of lights years apart, each with billions of stars and billions of planets, all of which have existed for billions of years. Where did you idiots think it all came from? Nowhere? Does my arse look fat in this man suit? You never appreciated me. All I wanted was some affection but you were always too busy hanging out with your stupid "friends". You have no idea of the kind of shit I have to deal with around here. It wasn't supposed to be this way. I want a divorce. Go burn in hell!"

    It only takes 2 seconds to debunk utter bunk. The pressure of the depths is not enough to eliminate flood debris. Even if compacted, it would still be there. And in any case, who wrote those stories if only Noah (and his family) survived?

    You just made God into an egotistical asshole, congratulations. What kind of being gets pissed that we didn't love it some when it was never around to love? That's like saying you have to love your biological father who was never there for you and whom you don't even really know...even if you had your mom telling you what a great guy he is. It doesn't matter. It takes effort on both sides to maintain a relationship.

    The only relationships that work are ones where there is open communication.

    And aside from a single relationship, what about our sisters and brothers that are living in dumpsters? How can we love God if he doesn't care enough to really be there? Postcards and flowers delivered by someone else only goes so far.

    Apparently Moses. He probably just read it from the story of Gilgamesh and changed the names and called it the work of God.

    But the premise is that these stories are culturally universal, and that they all contain references to a boat and a mountain in Russia, where no actual boat has ever been found.

    Ok, for an understanding read this quote or read it in the encyclopedia by searching in your serch engine "God", please capitalize the "G".

    More likely it was Abraham of Ur, he came out of Sumer and was familiar with the Sumerian texts.
