What is EXTREMELY interesting about this is, if you sit down and thoroughly weigh all the evidence of Bible Christianity against all other information and religion, Bible Christianity provides many times the evidence for the existence of man and the universe than anything else.

Smiley

Still reading that book I see.

Does a Harry Potter book provide anymore evidence of the "flobberworm"? It's mentioned in the book, so it MUST be exist.


It's such a waste, your life I mean, since you have the ability, yet won't sit down and do the little bit of investigation, and the little bit of applying it to the universe, that it would take to show you that the Bible is different.

Smiley

Yes, it is different. Older, unknown author, riddled with contradictions, but still just a book. Written by humans, for their [authors] benefit, certainly not for yours

Let's pretend Harry Potter book was written 1000’s of years ago. Author now forgotten. Would it still stay as fiction?

No, I don't believe it would. It's as if time and obscurity makes it true.
1522  Other / Off-topic / Re: Scientific proof that God exists? on: September 02, 2014, 02:53:41 PM
My statement still holds true regardless of your ideas and opinions. Here, I'll make it easier to understand:

We are no closer to proving god than 1000 years ago. FACT.
We are no closer to disproving god than 1000 years ago. FACT.
No evidence exists in favor of god, same as 1000 years ago. FACT.
No evidence exists not in favor of god, same as 1000 years ago. FACT.


You just don't get it do you? Religion/God works because it is a faith.

There's not meant to be any evidence/proof. That's the whole point..

C'mon, I'm not even religious but I still "get" how it operates.

OK, you "get" it, and you are making 4 points but what about these 4 points? Do you really "get" how the universe operates? I am asking because it is useful to "get" the big picture before you start listing FACTS.


You do realise that the discussion going on in this thread has been discussed over and over and over for thousands of years?
No closer to any scrap of evidence or proof than we was 1000 years ago, and no further from any scrap of evidence or proof than we will be 1000 years from now.

This applies to both sides of the argument.

You do realise that don't you?

I will realize it if you realize these facts, and all the others already referenced:

1) that we can and should no longer wish away expansive phenomena of this type.
2) The psychical origin of the Seth material does not automatically invalidate its claims
3)  "Nothing is more likely to impede investigation than premature acceptance of 'explanations'"
4) personalities continue to exist after physical death

What is EXTREMELY interesting about this is, if you sit down and thoroughly weigh all the evidence of Bible Christianity against all other information and religion, Bible Christianity provides many times the evidence for the existence of man and the universe than anything else.

People want to be part of the whole experiment. They love Bitcoin and thus want to contribute to it. Running a full node is the easiest way of doing that. If you want to mine, you have to invest a lot in mining hardware, also you're paying a lot for electricity. Running a full node is the perfect trade-off for many people, I guess!

Yes, I think this is the best reply to thread.

Nobody knows for sure, who taught Adam to write. Some ideas:

1. God taught him;

2. Adam invented writing;

3. Adam did not write the first two chapters of the Bible, and may not have known or needed writing.

The structure of the sentences of the first two chapters of the Bible, in the original, ancient Hebrew, is different from the rest of Moses' writing. Nobody knows for sure who wrote it, but it seems that Moses only copied it from earlier writings. Personally, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that Abraham wrote it.

Smiley

4. Possibly Adam never existed in the first place.

With regards to running two seperate blockchains and sending a 'found' block from one blockchain to the other which 'finds' it, and hence integrates it.. peice of piss..

Now who can tell if a correctly hashed block is from another blockchain? No-one.. And with the right timing, an entire blockchain can be replaced, so what if the users reject it, since it is now the latest one, so to speak, who can do what?

The hash must form a chain from the previous block.

Are you saying the alt blockchain is identical?
1526  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How easy it is to KILL bitcoin. on: September 01, 2014, 06:42:31 PM
Actually the best way to kill it or kill it off, is to leave it to the devs..

I know of 3 bugs in the origional bitcoin application, that, despite countless updates, resemble battlefield bad company. See, I cant understand why with so many updates, the bugs people actually WANT removed are allowed to stay, "but we'll add this n that, creating more bugs people can complain about that we know we can fix" - Yeah.. How many changes were made to our wallet's? My lass has 600 bitcoins in her origional wallet, yet she has to install how many different versions BEFORE she can get to use them? Instant? Yeah, after 5 years of re-downloading blockchains before she can do whatever.. and that's of course if she can find every version of bitcoin that had changes made by people who are nothing to do with bitcoin, other than pretending satochi was the bitcoin creator..

Bitcoin app still closes when it wants. Runaway exception's causing whatever we have downloaded of the blockchain to be ruined, so start again.. and again.. how long will it take to download the blockchain in 5 years time?

Fact is, the app itself 'appears' to have zero or miniscule changes, yet how many versions of bitcoin app have been released?

Leave it to the devs.. since they probably own over 60% and wont part with them. Then there's the looming governmental controls.. it's bad enough trying to obtain bitcoins without wondering if they are worth anything at all in the real world, instead of purchasing power that gets ya 10 grands worth of pc that wont be worth half in the next year..

Look at all them faucets.. the fact they tell lies on their first page is enough to put any sensible person off them. Then ya get the stealthepixels scam of, visit next site to be paid instantly.. do you get paid instantly? NO. Conned again by a bitcoin dev.

Think I'm wrong?

75% of the world has NEVER heard of bitcoin, never mind used a computer.

Go on devs.. keep your bitcoins, cause if you think they are worth it, 75% of the world will be like, eh?

So remind us again of your contributions to Bitcoin?

It's important to believe.
Is this really true? Or are you just told it's important by others?

I don't and my life is just fine. I know what's right and wrong. How I should treat others etc...

Actually it's not true. He wouldn't think this if he wasn't told that.
My parents are 'born believers'. They've tried to lead me on that path in the past.
Even though I know and consider them part of the "sheep" population; I respect their wishes.

If it's important to believe, what about people like you and me? I'm just sitting here and I'm perfectly fine.

Believing in god is perfectly fine.
Disbelieving in god is perfectly fine.
Blinding believing in god without questioning him is not fine.

It's good LauraM found the strength to question. He then made his own decision, probably under pressure.

Non believers leading perfectly normal happy lives worries believers. They will never admit it but it instills doubt in their faith. This is why they feel the need to rush up to you to 'save' you or instill fear 'your gonna burn for ignoring god'. Actually none of this is true, they're just pushing their own agenda.

The more that believe the more comfortable they feel.

Let's lob another truth grenade into the thread.

How come when prayers are answered 0.001% of the time, this is more than enough confirmation of god.
Yet when the remaining 99.999% are ignored, it is "the will of god"?

Interesting...

How can a perfect god create an imperfect universe?

Something like the way a loving husband and wife might get together to make that beautiful, bouncing, baby boy. They love that kid, and do the best for him all the while he lives with them. Then he goes to college, gets some weed, becomes a rapist, murders some folks, goes to prison. Mom and Dad didn't do it. Didn't have the slightest part of it in mind for him. The kid made choices, and they weren't in the programming the parents brought the kid up with.

Smiley

A perfect god could only create perfect humans, that had the freewill to choose only good options in life. Anything less is not perfect.
Humans are not perfect, thus god is not perfect, thus god cannot exist.




That's not free will.  Smiley

God defined what freewill is, not us. He created it imperfectly.... You know the rest.

See how easy it is too shoot this god theory down in flames. In contrast it takes much more effort to shoot down the non god theory.

Check out the vod thread in the scammer accusation thread.  There's clearly something twisted with this guy, he's openly talked about killing people.  And just look at his feedback, all of it.

Well I've just used the search tool putting in keyword "yummy" and it returned nothing.

I simply do what I can to correct the disinformation you and your pedophile shill friend vod have dispersed across the community.

*shrug*

You and only you have given us our judgements. No-one else.
Adult conversations are about talking, listening and conveying a logical response to the information presented, yes.  Not talking and responding with things like "bullshit, crazy, drug addict, etc"  Those are all labels, judgments.  They are what 4th graders do when they cannot think of an intelligent thing to say.  On the same level as saying "you're stupid!"  In fact, it's the exact same thing.

This must be what you mean about "label judgements". Cheesy

I simply do what I can to correct the disinformation you and your pedophile shill friend vod have dispersed across the community.

Tsk-tsk Dank. Stop judging people. Cheesy

Sorry, would it make you feel better if I use vod's own words and said your friend who found his coworker's 7 year old daughter 'yummy'?

Is that better?

Never seen that one. Link?

And yes, you are right.
God does not exist.
I've no idea if God exists or not. Same as every single person on this planet.

All I can say is, if he does exist, when it's my time to get called into his office, I hope he's got some good excuses ready!

I suppose that this might be something that you could hold God to a little. He allowed you freedom, at least enough to ignore Him. What kind of excuse could He have for that?

Smiley

For god to exist he must be perfect.
He can only create perfect things. (Or else he wouldn't exist because he wouldn't be perfect.)
So my ability to choose to ignore him must be perfect. So it is his wish and has no problem with it.

Or..

God didn't exist in the first place.



Because God created you with free will doesn't mean He created you to use your free will in a wrong way.

Then God is not prefect, and thus cannot exist.
