1. You don't inspire.
2. Please waste less time here.

No, you can't go making up some 'majick' to claim otherwise. You can transmit all the whacky crap you want along the twisted neural pathways inside your own skull, but it doesn't go anywhere until your fingers hit the keyboard and the verbal diarrhea flows out...and lately, it seems to be even whackier than it used to be.
lmao, I was attacked by the iron curtain gang when I brought power, as in work over time.

It was the funnest thing.

Are there any atheists/anti-theists on R&S who are confident enough to engage in such a debate format? I don’t think so. The suggestion of a debate, with any structure at all, is usually enough to cause the atheists/anti-theists to scatter with only flimsy excuses for their timidity.

Flimsy excuse/non-answer #2:

Harry Diogenes: The irony is it is you who constantly runs, Forrest IWas.
Cue another refuted video / ad hominem in 3, 2, 1 ...



Flimsy excuse/non-answer #3:
[Posted by Iwasmadenew] What about you, Harry? Let’s you and I have a 1-on-1 debate on debate.org. I won’t run. Will you? [*insert flimsy excuse here*]

Harry Diogenes: Stop playing games. You still have to honestly answer the questions asked of you here, using your own words (no Youtube, no links to apologetic web sites), and using no personal attacks. [here is where you insert the flimsy excuse that my response is a flimsy excuse , because you will do anything to avoid answering the questions we have asked you.]

I do sympathize to some extent. I can appreciate that it's anxiety-provoking to not know when your next "fix" will be.
Your turning into Arachnid Angle. Or maybe you always were. All about people and not a lucid idea in sight. Clinging to beliefs with no good reason and looking for encouragement from equally flummoxed Youtubers. Actually the Spiderman might be ahead of you. He posts his selection of personal insanity. It’s an overflowing cesspool, but at least it’s his own.

We don't know life could not originate from non-life. How do you know that? We humans thought it similarly impossible the Sun didn't revolve around the Earth. In time we learned the truth about that too.

Consciousness does not arise from non-consciousness. It arises from awareness or perception of something by a person.

I could go on but I haven't caught up with all the other comments posted in this thread since I last signed off, and I'm about due to sign off again. Bottom line, the problem that people like me have with people who think like you is that you view all you don't understand as proof there is a God. How is that supposed to be convincing from an intelligent standpoint? We humans have been doing that since we first contemplated the Sun and the Moon, and we've proven ourselves really good at getting it wrong! How can you not understand and respect this simple truth for what it is?

God is not a gap filler. Not a caulk to fill the wide gaps of our understanding. Not a placebo either. God is a man made romantic version of what will no doubt continue to prove just a place-holder until we can fill all the remaining gaps of understanding with facts, knowledge and proof. We must simply be patient, because that's going to take some time longer than most of us will be around...
the interactions of the system around the volcano "created" the volcanoes. the interactions in our volume of space/time (the fabric of space) produce consciousness. Is one neuron conscious? is your big toe conscious?

Can something be conscious without people? I don't think its people that make something conscious.

hey marco .... did you figure out that we are surrounded by a system yet? oh, wait, you didn't, you choose to sucker punch ... real manly there guy.

you don't even know what you don't know. worse than that, you don't care. Religion did something to you and you just don't care about anything else.

Yes, that is a good way to think of it.

Would you like to have a 1-on-1 debate with me, normstad?

If not, what's your flimsy excuse?
