    A clue to the only interesting question that arises when overt Abrahamic theists post on science forums ("Why do they?"): they post almost nothing except personal disparagement based on misrepresentations of various kinds, directed at those they believe represent scientific (and especially atheistic) worldviews. That is, literally, the bulk of their posting - often, as there, without even a fig leaf of passing reference to any issue at hand. It's not just the latest couple - it's a standing pattern.

    By now it's fair to suggest that posting these disparagements is their agenda, and any issues or topics presented by them are merely pretexts.

    So it's not a question of playing chess with a chicken, but one of dealing with organized and coherent bullying.

    But wait a sec!
    If I am, as you say I am, an abrahamic theist, then surely at least in this regard you would have no bone to pick?
    Is it too much to ask that you at least display consistency in your trolling?

    No problems and on track for November Bali holiday with couple mates from Melbourne

    This is in reference to me believing (have faith) I can fly and acting on such faith which kx000 seems to imply such faith as per

    gives me truth (ie I can fly)

    But then

    Arr so NOW I have to check (validate). Soooo faith is NOT enough.

    Poof goes Jan IS

    Sounds like faith gives us truth is morphing into validate the belief

    In other words (if I follow correctly) FAITH gives way to SCIENCE

    Who would have thought that?
    Please sir Michael 345 I did

    This is some post I made in some semantic thread on another forum it may have some relevance.


    Max Rockatansky said:
    He also wrote the book Contact and the story outline for the movie, which was oddly very spiritual in many ways. I also like this scene with the religious Palmer Joss to scientist Ellie Arroway:
    Palmer Joss: [Ellie challenges Palmer to prove the existence of God] Did you love your father?

    Ellie Arroway: What?

    Palmer Joss: Your dad. Did you love him?

    Ellie Arroway: Yes, very much.

    Palmer Joss: Prove it.


    I said:


    I love my brother. When we were little I remember him adamantly wanting to have a bonsai tree. One recent Christmas I actually saw some for sale...

    When he took off the wrapping he could hardly believe his eyes...

    If you are not organized and coherent it doesn't necessarily default you to chess playing chicken status.

    Ha! He doesn't answer such questions. He usually replies:

    I already posted a link. Too bad you can't read.
    If you're too stupid to know which accounts they are, I can't help you.
    Sounds like your atheist delusion is getting in the way of your understanding!

    Or some such. He's not here to discuss.

    Overt Abrahamic theists who post on science forums, for example.

    One cannot cooperate in an empirical effort, or even attempt such an endeavor, while posting in bad faith, asserting falsehoods, and devoting the bulk of one's typing to personal attack and disparagement.

    It's the wages of sin, so to speak - the con man cannot obtain the benefits of honest dealing, the betrayer can have no real friends.

    The question is why these people - who cannot participate in any of the actual discussion on a science forum - post here and in other science forums.

    I did but there are so many references it would seem my initial request for a specific reply was warrented.

    Its just when you take that one aspect as the summun bonum of pettiness and foolishness, that your own personal example offers a further illustration of the deep inroads pettiness and foolishness has made into the human psyche.

    If redbull guzzling slobs on atheist hate sites can't come to grade, I guess no one can, huh?

    I have no idea what that means, but I'll be more clear.

    You can't accuse someone of holding a dumbed down definition of God when you are in no position to correct it.
    If a dumbed down definition is all that's available, then it is - er, by definition, the only definition there is.

    That was a unwarranted general slander, Musika. For your information I am a teetotaler.

    I'm not sure where this notion of yours arose of there being no position to correct a definition, but it certainly explains the hubris that surrounds a majority of the attempts of atheists to land relevant critiques.

    I take it you have no problem with the before mentioned assumption that tends to drag many atheists attempts to land critiques into irrelevancy.
