Actually I don't care for many of today's Bible translators either. They seem to be in it for the money but what is new...

Haven't we been here before, Lincoln?Originally posted by Lincoln
It is good to see that there is hope even for atheists. An unbiased look at the origin of life as we understand it thus far does lead one to question the mantra of materialism spewed from people who promote their opinion and personal beliefs in the name of "science".
For starters, stop confusing atheists with evolutionists, and evolution with abiogenesis.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

Maybe he's fearing the reaper. Sagan died an atheist. I probably will too.
Thats not very convincing che. You can't hedge your bets on it.

Also, for all the "Oh he's old and fears death and stuffles" folks, notice that he doesn't believe in the Christian understanding of the God, which kinda means no automatic heaven ticket for him, at least as far Christianity is concerned."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe.

Considering he still doesn't believe in an afterlife, what would be the use of changing now.Originally posted by Japher
Flew just got old. NO olde, dying person wants to think there isn't a god... It's the fear factor.Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief.

Considering just how vast the known universe is, and that the one planet we have intimate knowledge about has a variety of goat species it might even be probable that blue goats exist somewhere.Originally posted by Agathon
It doesn't negate the possibility of blue space goats either, but it is irrational to believe in such things.
If people want to argue that it is possible for a God to exist, I don't care. Even if it is possible, and even if such a God does exist, it is irrational to believe in his existence.
What differentiates a rational belief (if there is such a thing) from an irrational belief?He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!

Many things in life are ridiculous. It is for example ridiculous to believe that socialism or communism works because we have tons of examples it doesnt. We just got to have some faith comradeOriginally posted by chegitz guevara
I'm an atheist not because I don't share religious morals, but because there is no evidence that a deity exists. It is ridiculous to believe in a God.

Look here, UR:That's not what he's looking for. He's looking for an afterlife.
There was no one moment of change but a gradual conclusion over recent months for Flew, a spry man who still does not believe in an afterlife.

What I find laughable is the atheists faith in the Big Bang, the Universe, and stuff as being the end of all enquiry.
Can any genius describe what came before the Big Bang? What caused it? How can something come from nothing? Can you prove it? I didn't thnik so.
The bottom line is that everyone, theist or atheist (or deist) has an assumption that underlies the world view. The atheist will accept on faith that there is nothing but the 'stuff' of the Universe, and that we all came from a primordial bang. The theist will say that if there was a bang, then it can be explained as issuing from some higher order of power in the cosmos.
Neither one has any claim on irrefutable proof for their views. I think that is why these questions continue to crop up. And why exactly does the leading phyicist of our day refer to reading the mind of God?(\__/)

NYET: Indeed and thats why it is only rational to believe in the irrational ie have some faith. How many things are 100% proven in life anyway?
Faith, thats the mystery.Que l’Univers n’est qu’un défaut dans la pureté de Non-être.
