ignore young earth creationists, at least the proselytizers

sorry for the religious nature of this thread, but I just gotta say it.

I was in a debate with this guy. I pointed out a lot of flaws in his arguments, like for instance, noah's flood. he's a proponent of the hydroplate "theory" for the source of the flood waters. I told him that it is not possible for a layer of water beneath the crust because the earth's crust would not float on water, and that if it were beneath the crust, the water would be boiling hot and that noah would be dead pretty quickly.

He then told me "you're forgetting to add god to the equation". you cannot debate with someone who can pull the divine intervention response out of his ass. He then told me that it takes just as much faith to believe that science can explain things just as well as religion can.

science takes as much faith to believe as it takes to believe in magic man?

I guess it is true that those who do not live by reason will not be conquered by it

Hi I am a computer science student. However, this does not stop me from being a believer. I would like to demonstrate what I consider a flaw in all atheist statements and arguments. Atheists argue that we cannot believe in a God whose existence we cannot prove. However, the way I see things, we do the same in science: we accept for instance that parallel lines never meet. And we construct further theorems and proofs based on this unproven assumption. I cannot understand how this is correct in maths, but the same is not acceptable for religion.CptJSparrow

Theorems are theories, they are allowed to be wrong. And we can prove that parallel line don't connect. If they connect, then they are not parallel.

Care to explain how the presents get under my Christmas Tree?

I like how he has "Christians die for what they believe in; Jews kill for what they believe in." How full of **** is that? Screw this guy, his dirtstache, and his nonsense. I didn't really catch what he was talking about since my brain tends to filter out bull****.Headbanger88
