How is the balance between boys and girls maintained?

[Elok]

Well, He went through the intermediary of having your mother and father get together and, well, you know the rest, rather than putting His hand down and creating you ex nihilo on the spot, so why not? I don't say anything about a system of laws. The extent to which God is or isn't involved in the minutiae is beyond my ken. Scientific explanations attend to the how, not the why, as weary bio professors disclaim at the start of every semester.

I might add that very little is really "chance." Possibly not anything, I don't know what quantum mechanics says. But if you look at a roll of the dice, what we call "chance" there is really the combination of a lot of very tiny factors--the way you hold the dice, air currents in the room, imperfections in the surface of the table, and so on. When all those factors are controlled, the result becomes entirely certain. Did God create, through a long chain of causation, air, table, dice, hand and all the rest? Yes. Is it still the result of what we perceive as "chance?" Yes.

But really, this whole thing is a case of speculating where we have no grounds to know. We can only describe what we see.

kidi is a huge advertisement for non Christians to stay the hell away from Christianity.

[notyoueither]

Do you believe in REASON? Is it an actual thing or just what you believe? I believe in Reason as something that is beyond whatever I believe. For example, there is a reason for the universe. There is a reason for life. There is a reason why we are here. Those reasons are known by God, they have nothong to do with what morons believe.

IF THERE IS AN ACTUAL THING, REASON, GOD MUST EXIST. If there is no actual thing called reason then it means very little what you say is reasonable.

Just wow.

[Berzerker]

You *******. Go **** yourself!

and a merry Christmas to you

what was the question? oh yeah, title 9

[Kidlicious]

Elok, that's a bunch of nonsense. It seems like you don't believe anything significantly different than I do, but you call my beliefs inane. Again, this is such an ******* move it's incredible. This is far worse than anything BK has done.

Let me get this straight. You believe as has been explained by atheists (lightblue, don't know for sure that he is one) that sex is determined randomly, but at the same time God is in control. I'm getting a predestination feel here. But you will probably balk from that.

It doesn't matter. If God is in control then He dtermines the number of males and females. For example, if He determined everything in advance then whatever the distribution is has nothing to do with chance.

DICK!

[notyoueither]

There is nothing invalid about a Christian believing that God could cause anything He wishes, but has set up the system to run on automatic most of the time.

Nothing about human reproduction would be predetermined so long as humans have free will and their decisions yield different outcomes based on biological factors based in human beings.

You're and idiot, Kid.

[Kidlicious]

Also, if He isn't iin control (the other side of your bull****) then we will eventually be hot by a asteroid that will BY CHANCE.. kill us all and that will be the end of life.

[notyoueither]

This has got to be the greatest Kidicious thread in poly history.

I like to stay out of these, but this is... Just wow.

The combination of ignorance, arrogance, and the way he relates to Elok's patient explanations is... something to behold.

[notyoueither]

Also, if He isn't iin control (the other side of your bull****) then we will eventually be hot by a asteroid that will BY CHANCE.. kill us all and that will be the end of life.

It's happened before, essentially...

But of course, there would be nothing stopping Him from preventing that happening.

[Kidlicious]

NYE,
That is the stupidest thing I've ever seen you post. You aren't a chriistian, are you? Regardless everyone should know what bull**** that is. Jesus said that our prayers would be answered. Explain how that works within an automati c system.

[Kidlicious]

Yes asteroids have hit the earth because God planned for it. Not randomly. Why would God allow randomness like that. That's just stupidity on your part.

[notyoueither]

You're an idiot. That's all I have left to say to you.

[Kidlicious]

If God is watching everything and deciding what happens and what doesn't then He decides what the ratio of boys and girls will be morons. He doesnt allow unwanted distributions.

[Kidlicious]

You're an idiot. That's all I have left to say to you.

Based on what you've said here I can honestly say that that counts for nothing with me.

[Asher]
