FairHooker11 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 THE WRONG ARK METAPHOR from Ken Ham - In the latest 'Cosmos' TV episode, ‘The Immortals,’ narrator Neil deGrasse Tyson exploits the metaphorical value of Noah’s Ark as he presents a series of evolutionary themes -- while, not surprisingly, treats the biblical account as just a spin-off of the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh. Though admitting that evolutionists do not know how life could have evolved from lifeless elements through naturalistic processes, Tyson just assumes that it did. Then he weaves tales of how primordial life forms could have found an ‘ark’ of safety through earth’s presumed history of multiple catastrophic surface-destroying collisions over millions of years. Tyson uses the Ark as a recurring theme in this program—but he uses it every way but biblically! and you call that faith right? In contrast to Tyson’s anti-biblical use of the metaphorical Ark, the true kind of metaphorical Ark the world needs to know about is this one: that just as there was one door in the real Ark of Noah (the only path to safety before the catastrophe that destroyed the earth), Jesus Christ today is the only Savior, the one door to salvation for man.

gftChris Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 http://nationalreport.net/solar-panels-drain-suns-energy-experts-say/ From the "NATIONAL REPORT - America's #1 Independent News Team" - with pictures of Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin either side of the logo. Sure, independent. “Put into laymen’s terms, the solar panels capture the sun’s energy, but pull on the sun over time, forcing more energy to be released than the sun is actually producing,” WIT claims in a scientific white paper published on Wednesday. “Imagine a waterfall, dumping water. But you aren’t catching the water in buckets, but rather sucking it in with a vacuum cleaner. Eventually, you’re going to suck in so much water that you drain the river above that waterfall completely.” ... The study was commissioned in August 2011 by the Halliburton corporation, who wanted to learn if the energy giant should start manufacturing and selling solar panels domestically and internationally. Shockingly, the result came back the solar panels are not good, and we should continue to rely on oil. Who would have though? Wiki - "Halliburton Company is an American multinational corporation and currently one of the world's largest oil field services companies with operations in more than 80 countries."

Because science is rational and a belief in invisible friends would be mental illness if instead of saying God someone was saying it was a goblin.

And, with woody, it's "don't dare bash my opinions, but I can bash yours all the time because of...uh...."science". You can attempt to bash my beliefs all you want, idc. I'm taking the side science supports. You know, testing, data, peer reviews, etc. If anyone wants to bash the scientific views of the day with "faith" or just unsound thinking, go ahead. I won't stop you from looking like an idiot. DieHard, what if I had faith, but not faith in the invisible man you just so happen to be told to believe as a child? Does that not count? Fuck "faith". I don't need false hope. I don't need the threat of hell or the promise of heaven to be a good person. I certainly don't need a fairy tale book to "foretell the future" or describe "history". I can think for myself without the ideals of a magic man from the middle east but that was totally white though... ... that goes for any religion too, since I know you like to cry about me "just" bashing Christianity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Actually it should probably go for any set of morals values you choose to live your life by other than survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle which are the only natural laws there are. But we don't do that. None of us. It's just that some of us sneer at that if they call it true religion but brag about it when they call it their own personal values.

MLD Woody Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Where do you think the idea in your head came from that you shouldn't kill other humans? We are a social species that has our own community and society, like some other species. There are natural laws involved there that tell us not kill others of the same species, support each other, etc. Are our laws more advanced? Yes. Probably helps we have a more advanced intellect. I'll sneer at the belief that the only reason we have order in society is religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS which species in particular does not kill other members? WSS What exactly does that have to do with anything? I am mostly talking about species that exist in a group or society. Chimps will attack other groups to expand on territory, but they won't turn on their own group. Animals act in their own self interest, as well as the interest for their group/or species (some do at least). Over time we may have developed/evolved a more complex set of morals because it gave us a better way to protect our species and our close groups. It would be just like us developing opposable thumbs. I am definitely no expert on Biology, so I would have to look in to it more. A quick google search shows that there has been a lot of research on the subject. The point I'm making is that the only answer for our morality is not "God" or religion in general. In fact, like most things suggested by religion, science can provide a more likely answer or set of possible answers. It seems like this is something we just evolved over time, stemming from the social interaction we can see among primates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 No one said religious people can't be scientists. They are a very small minority, but they exist. If you can't even manage the amount you drink, do the point you are damaging yourself, then tell them whatever they need to hear to get it turned around. If that means the belief of an imaginary being in the sky that totally cares about you and has a plan for you, go ahead. False hope as a method to turn their life around is better than dying of alcoholism. Believe what you want, it is a free country. Just don't act like it is anywhere near as rational or realistic as what the scientific method has given us. Cling to your ancient beliefs however you like, act like your story book is better than the others, but don't bring that in to any public policy or anything actually important that affects me.

I don't want to see any public policy that attacks any religion in any way. You have the freedom to believe whatever dumb ideas you choose to. I don't want to see any anti-Christian, anti-Muslim, anti-Atheist, anti-whatever policies. Christians can be in govt all they like (you know, like damn near everyone in govt now). Just don't base public policy on some page from an ancient book that has been translated and edited dozens of times. I want these important issues, things that affect myself and others, to be decided on facts and reasoning. Not "faith" and fictional stories. I don't want to see a congressman mentioning the "end times". I don't want to hear how gay marriage should be illegal because it is a "sin". I don't want to see my governor wasting tax payer money on a public prayer session for rain... Do you understand now? Or am I going to have to explain it again for you?

We can eventually see a day when people aren't relying on the ideas of their imaginary friends to make public policy. Logic ************************************************************** Less religious, imho, is a good thing. I wish you anti-religious folks would understand the difference between religion and spirituality. So you aren't Christian. I don't put that down. It's your choice. However, you and woody ridicule others who do believe. See the difference? And woody, you can't say the fraudulent gay "marriage" should be okay, because you don't have Christian beliefs. I DO, others do, and we see it as a sin. And, as a slap in the face to most of America that knows marriage can only be between a man and a woman, it's going to get to a point where America starts swinging the pendulum back to common decency and a little more conservative policies. You've explained your bigotry very well. Christians are "allowed" in gov, but they have to ACT like they believe and don't believe like you. Typical lib hypocrisy. Maybe, non-believers are "allowed" in gov, but they must ACT like they believe and don't believe, like Christians? Arrogance and hypocrisy - that's what I see. Bigotry toward others. Of course a Christian can support Christian policies in gov. It's who he is. Just like an altheist can also support non-Christian policies. You libs always think that your way must be the only way. Pretty strange. I say, if a Christian baker doesn't want to betray his beliefs on gay "marriage", and refuses to condone that "wedding" by baking them a cake, then so be it. Let the perverts go to another baker. No harm, no foul. The trouble is, the political/social dictatorship over those who don't dabble in sick liberal land. And spare the rest of us with "but what about refusing a black couple.." nonsense. There is no aspect of being of a different skin color that warrants any legit objection. It doesn't nothing to force society to have a new definition of the established institution of marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
