...and what right do humans think they have instructing others how to believe? Inefficient. Realize you can only tell each other what you believe. No ammount of pride can sway a person's mind in an argument. Especially one of such critical nature. Attempting to create with something as destructive as pride...


It depends how deeply the beliefs are held. When someone's beliefs are in flux or the foundation of their faith rocked, they are much more perceptible to listen to logic and rethink what they believed.

As far as the teachings of evolution as a science, I have lost all faith in the doctrine. 'A fish in this layer is approximately X billion years old.' 'How do you know?' 'Because of the rocks in the layers.' 'How do you know the age of the rocks?' 'Because of the fossils they contain, of course.' 'So... the fossils dated the rocks, the rocks dated the fossils?' 'Uh...yeah. They did.' 'O...k. Sounds good to me.'


Sounds to me like you don't know anything about evolution, then. Like... absolutely nothing.

Over 300 proofs of God's existence


ARGUMENT FROM CREATION, aka ARGUMENT FROM PERSONAL INCREDULITY (I)
(1) If evolution is false, then creationism is true, and therefore God exists.
(2) Evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to understand it; moreover, to accept its truth would cause me to be uncomfortable.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

Why am I being told the Earth is billions of years old? If the sun does shrink upon itself as my school once taught, if we spun the clock backwards several billion years, wouldn't the Earth have once been a component of the Sun, itself?


Yes, dabble in quantum mechanics. Read about the Big Bang. That's exactly what "they" are saying.

If this truly is a dead-end existance, why do humans persist? What do they hope to gain? What could they possibly hope for? Some empty glory, though they will not exist to realize? A feeling that they were right, even if the feeling would forever remain intangible? If all that you have accomplished, loved, and held vanished, what is your point of life? What keeps the human world from succumbing to entropy, and falling into complete anarchy?


Response:
300 Proofs of God's Existence


COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT
(1) If I say something must have a cause, it has a cause.
(2) I say the universe must have a cause.
(3) Therefore, the universe has a cause.
(4) Therefore, God exists.

I have wanted answers to these questions my entire life, and those 'teachers' could not find them.

...I found one. The last one; faith.


Congratulations for giving up at a young age and taking the easy way out, the cop out, instead of searching for a greater truth.

Also pertinent to you and warranto:
300 Proofs of God's Existence


ARGUMENT FROM INFINITE REGRESS
(1) Ask Atheists what caused the Big Bang.
(2) Regardless of their answer, ask how they know this.
(3) Continue process until the Atheist admits he doesn't know the answer to one of your questions.
(4) You win!
(5) Therefore, God exists.



I'm the bawss.
