How is the balance between boys and girls maintained?

As far as evidence what do you say to the fact that the universe as it is depends on all the physical laws being exactly as they are. Life could not exist unless conditions are just as they are. Do you have an explaination for that?

That doesn't really make any sense you know, its just one of those talking points that sound good on the surface. We have no idea if the universe could even exist with different physical laws, and we definitely don't know for sure that it couldn't exist with different physical laws, all it means is that life as we know it could only exist with the physical laws that are in place, and well.. duh: we're here to talk about it.

[Kidlicious]

wow

I tried a GIS for a more appropriate "atheist smilie" but drew a blank I did, however, find this

I think Kid is still a commie, but works undercover now in da religion community to undermine its credibility.

Yes, why actually think when you can just believe.

[giblets]

gribbler, you really have to TRY hard to be that stupid.

If you could visit another planet and you saw thing like buildings and cars but you didn't see intelligent beings what would you think, those things weren't built by intelligent beings?

Slap yourself in the face 5 times.

In my past experience building and cars have always been built by intelligent beings, so I would think buildings and cars on another planet were probably made by intelligent beings. However I've never witnessed the beginning of a universe so how should I know if they are made by intelligent beings or not? How dare you call me stupid when you are such a ******...

[Elok]

That is pure BS. Love and support for other humans are a way higher and more important passion than faith. Besides that, "faith" has nothing to do with christianity - it could as wll be a human sacrificing religion such as certain early american beliefs.

I seem to recall Jesus Himself saying that, of faith, hope and love, love was the highest virtue. Also St. Paul saying that though he speaks with all the tongues of men and angels, works mighty miracles, etc., if he doesn't have love, he has nothing.

EDIT: Nope, it was St. Paul for the first one too.

1 Cor 13:13

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

And earlier in chapter 13...

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

I didn't know you thought the physical laws evolved

Make sense again now? Again, are you saying that because of your inability to comprehend evolution that it can't possibly be true?

[Elok]

At times like these, I kinda miss Odin (the poster, not the Norse deity).

[kentonio]

Why, whats wrong with Odin the diety you Norse athiest bastard!

[MikeH]

Odin or Oerdin?

[loinburger]

[Provost Harrison]

Oerdin has been losing letters, and weight if he is also a diety now
