Logic is definitely my friend...it most obviously can't be yours. Please do us all a favor and switch to an appropriate pseudonym.

You're not going to engage in a back and forth discussion for reasons that are quite obvious - namely, you have nothing to offer besides unsubstantiated nonsense.

It will play well to the local peanut gallery and you'll get some highly esteemed "reps."

Bravo, congratulations!

I will have to give you credit for actually making me think that it all might actually be worth my time. You had me going for a while.
I just offered up the entire universe as evidence. You have steadfastly refused to accept the big bang in your arguments. Since the vast majority of the world's scientists accept the big bang theory, and you don't (which is not surprising since it does have a few complicated words in it), then obviously you have an alternative that better fits the data (that blue, green, yellow, and red image, above). You DO have an alternative, right? I mean, aside from "god did it". Well?

I think for many it boils down to "science is hard, fairy tales are easy" as one cannot possibly take religious dogma seriously and think.

Based on your obvious reluctance to answer my questions, why would I waste my time answering yours?

A discussion is supposed to be a two-way street. You want answers, try providing some yourself.

...back to you.

I answered your questions. But you obviously have an alternative theory that you are thinking of, right? Can you tell us what it is, or is it a big secret?

Your question were answered, but you just don't like the answers and reply with insults...That is typical of the way you "debate", and I use the term debate loosely.

Sure. Just as soon as you demonstrate some willingness to answer my questions.

...but I have to give credit where credit is due, not answering is probably a much better tactic than dodging, ducking or filibustering.

I'm not going to waste my time playing your games. I've answered your questions. If my response doesn't satisfy your curiosity, that is obviously your problem, not mine. If you have a more satisifactory explanation, particularly one that explains the huge volumes of data that we possess, I'm certain every member of this forum, myself included, is more than willing to entertain it. Otherwise, stop wasting bandwidth.

good point... but then again, is it true that the Creator isn't evil?

If there is no Creator, how can good and evil exist?
