I'm an atheist and I'm 17.

Ok, now I'm very confused. What was the goal of this topic?

[QUOTE="tepni"] I know. It was a fail on my part. I tried trollin' y'all but it didn't work.. Well I mean I guess it did, some people believed me. But I am an atheist.LikeHaterade

You know what's worse than a troll? A troll that sucks at trolling. This is one of the worse threads I have ever encountered in all my time in OT. SPAM bots' threads are better than this. Congratulations. That is quite a feat.

Disclaimer: This post was not directed at the poster, but rather the thread itself. Pertaining to the question about trolls; it was merely a rhetorical question not directed at anyone.

Well, sorry. I was bored and curious as to how people would react to a stupid question about fingerprints proving God's existence. Forgive me.

Bit ironic, isn't it?

Wait..what is?

OP was about whether you think God exists due to everyone's DNA being different, as evident in our fingerprints. Now you've just come out as an atheist. Am I missing something?

Well I said I failed ): I'm not even sure what a troll is, or what trolling is. I just posed as a Christian to see what you guys would say or how you'd respond to a stupid question. So idk what you call that.

Ugh.. I've already gone through this, DNA is not the reason fingerprints are unique. Identical twins who have the same DNA still have different fingerprints.

[QUOTE="lamprey263"]my parents are my creator... the point about fingerprints though, how's that prove ANYTHING?tepni
Yes, but who created your parents? And who created their creators? Eventually it just comes down to one thing. God.

Just because you don't know the real answer doesn't mean you should conclude it's god.

ITT: A brilliant piece of trolling. TC's point fails for obvious reasons, but perhaps we can reconstruct the point he's aiming at. You fingerprint is totally random. If the evolution is the product of naturalistic determinism, then nothing could be truly random, and therefore such naturalistic evolution could not have created us. There are two important reasons why that argument fails. And I just realized that the more I type the more I fall into TC's trap so I will stop now.

Look at your fingerprint..doesn't that prove that there is a creator because your fingerprint is completely unique?

You misread, identical twins have the same DNA but different fingerprints. Genes do not fully determine what someone's fingerprints will look like.

If anything, I'd expect the product of a creator to be more standardized. The uniqueness of our fingerprints doesn't really suggest any sort of intelligent design to me.rragnaar

Intelligent design ey? Now this thread MUST include a poem by Frost :o

I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,

On a white heal-all, holding up a moth

Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth --

Assorted characters of death and blight

Mixed ready to begin the morning right,

Like the ingredients of a witches' broth --

A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,

And dead wings carried like a paper kite.

What had that flower to do with being white,

The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?

What brought the kindred spider to that height,

Then steered the white moth thither in the night?

What but design of darkness to appall?--

If design govern in a thing so small.

Nah it doesn't... even if it was possible evidence of a god it is not usually good to try and zoom in on one piece of evidence to decide such a conclusion anyway.
