Nor did you give any definitive scientific answer to the purpose of your existence.


Look, there is no sense discussing this with you as you do not understand what the term "theory" means in science, nor do you give any indication of understanding the scientific method.

You do not understand the language of science. I'm sorry that you choose not to eliminate that ignorance.

The one thing I find comical is that folks like you never seem to be as adamant in your face \ make it your business to oppose the UR folks who are just as adamant concerning folks like you will have to bow your knee in belief of the Biblical God ... and no other.


I'm convinced that isn't coincidental and I'm going to find it entertaining just who is going to be found out as the misguided. Scripturally, (and unfortunately) you're going to prove UR to be the false theology that it is.

It doesn't have to be ... you know.
Maybe its because even the atheist can see that the God we believe in would not be a bad God to serve. Your view of God makes Hitler look like a saint, so its no wonder athiest are not willing to serve God.

Let me rephrase the so called enlightened to your situation ....

Look, there is no sense discussing this with you as you do not understand what the term "Just \ Justice" means Biblically, nor do you give any indication of understanding the any part of God's Word dealing with God's Justice.

You do not understand the truth. I'm sorry that you choose not to eliminate that ignorance.

Your the one who brought up a dissertation of science, without understanding what it means.

The difference between religion and science is simple.

One needs FAITH to BELIEVE in religion, but one needs to UNDERSTAND science.

Huge difference.

What I have a problem with is that many feel tenets of their faith need to be forced on a secular society. That many feel we need to be guided by stories cobbled together by those ancient superstitious tribesmen, especially when one realizes that those stories are often plagiarized from even more ancient stories from the region.
You seem to be quite vocal in the fact that your views should be forced on others. What makes your views better than anyone elses'?

In the USA, it is the First Amendment, reinforced by numerous Supreme Court decisions, that says there needs to be a separation of church and state.

If you think that is not a valid perspective, you would probably love how the Vatican and Iran run, and how ISIS wants to run a state.

How does the 1st amendment make your view better than anyone else's? 1st amendment is an instruction to what Congress can and cannot do.

Actually the First Amendment does NOT say that. Nor does it suggest that religion can run our government.

You missed the part, "reinforced by numerous Supreme Court decisions".
