I'm dying to understand this, but can't seem to find a thread on which to grab. Care to elaborate? And before you curse me for making you spend even more time in a God thread, just remember: you came here of your own volition ;) Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Oh. Must've just been the Queen's English, because I understand that just fine. Though I now don't understand how it's "circular tautological reasoning". Isn't that an oxymoron? Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Yeah, I speak funny... or pew just expressed it better than I :) I always think of Evolution as the survival of the fit -enough-. You don't have to be the best to pass on the DNA. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

Rather I think it was its presence in a God thread. I think I auto jumped to creation when you went anti-random. But yeah, we're on the same page, then. "Fit enough". I dig that whole line of thought, know right were it goes. And agree with it. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Is that really your criteria for if something exists or not? Do you see Gravity? Or hear it? You cling to the planet and things fall down but you don't see this force acting. Christians have their life changed for the better but you don't see God or hear him - at least observing from the outside. Does that really mean God does not exist? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Again even if the universe has been here forever you still need God to explain the change and motion that even you admit is observable all around us. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Why not use the example of an appendix or something like that instead of pointing to the amazing human eye? What about the amazing brain that comes up with all these amazing analogies and ideas you have and comes up with things like cars and rocket ships? Isn't that amazing?
Isn't philosophizing the act of doing philosophy? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |
