Hey, if that rationalization works for you, then good! But I am puzzled as to why you would rather dismiss than discuss. The Book was an account of events. Like I said believe it or don't. Do more than just give some rationalization.

If all you want to do is roll eyes and dismiss, why bother posting on a discussion board?

I've seen many of your posts. More than enough to know you wouldn't understand.

You're comfy with your blankie pulled over your head.
Silly dismissive post! Care to cite two or three posts of mine to support your opinion? (warning, rabbit hole trap. Will spend an hour and find nothing)

There is that 'roll eyes' thing again. You don't, really don't want to discuss. Do you...

Don't come to gunfight with a knife, says it all. Time for a glass of wine!

So again, where this alternative (cosmic accident) came from and why is it the only alternative?
What else is there besides ID or cosmic accident? Of couse, there's no such thing as an accident. That leaves only ID.

Why accident? Why not something that simply must happen sooner or later?

On the other hand, there is no such thing as intelligent design.

Would you say Pythagoras' Theorem is an accident or intelligent design?





How else could anything else be so perfectly inter related? Well, it's not an accident and it's not an ID thing. It's just the natural relationship of a right angle triangle. Likewise with the big bang and the formation of stars and galaxies and planets and earth and life and people. No mystery, no ID, just the laws of nature at work.
