Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible

well all i know if he was around now he would be a terrorist. An enemy of the state. What do you think Pat Roberston would think about an arab preaching the word of God. Or even Dubya. ( Jesus was white you know.. maybe even Italian... go to any chuch you see... ) Funny how they treat the arabs like the romans used to treat the christans.

Ummm I will stop there... As I am all boiled up now....

This is an argument of semantics, really, and is not relevant to previous debates. Almost all of science is provable, and has been proven.

Veiled insults? If I am going to insult someone, I'll do it openly, not veiled.

If there is one thing you can say about this thread, it's that it's very god for people's imagination and creativity http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Just imagine, lead guitar http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif
Who would be playing the drums?<hr /></blockquote>Peter, obviously. The drummer is the foundation of the band, afterall. I hear that they wanted Barabus for the part, but he only got out of the clink in time to see "JC and the Boys" split up.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible

As a long term lurker, I have two things to add.

What people of faith need to realize, a scientific fact is just as powerful as any scripture.

And the other is a bit of a fill in the blanks.

God creates man in his image.
-omitted statement-
-omitted statement-
Man is victorious
Man Creates AI in his image.
AI is more powerful than man.
Man grows jealous of AI and attempts to destroy it.
AI is Victorious

And that conlcudes my opinion on the origin of man and his relationship with whatever god currently in service at the time.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible

where does it say that when god created man, that man was human? It says, he created man in his image, it does not say that man was a human being http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

just some ideas

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible

Just my little opinion about 'god' assuming such a creature exists.

"Man" refers to humanity Mac.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible

Man = humanity is correct, but it doesn't answer the question http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif We (Humans) interpeted to mean humans or humanity, however, it does not say anywhere that Man was human, that is our reflection. It only states he was made in his image.... Doesn't say Man = Human http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

just some ideas Mac

Yes, the Christians aren't in any majority of the population.
But remember that today more people lives than there has ever existed in all of mankinds history , added up in atotal over time!

Actually, that is not true.
<hr /></blockquote>Ah, Fyron. Now you do it again.
I haven't rated you but I can see why people rated you low.

You state a belife you have as a undisputable fact.
You give no arguments saying why this isn't true.

No one can actually say that it is absolutely true or not.
Many estimates ends up saying that it is true but it depends on how old the human race is and the population growth in prehistoric times.

I for one belive that this is so.
Actually it is one of the problems that those who belive in reincarnation has to explain (Altough they have produced several theories explaining it, very few says that the population growth problem is untrue)

(End Edit)<hr /></blockquote>I did not state a belief, I stated a fact. Even using that graph you provided (and extending it back about 2 million years (or a few 100k if you only want to include the direct ancestors of homo sapiens)), you can see that there were more than the 6.x billion people (the amount alive today) that were alive at one point but are not alive today.

Most of the things I have posted are basic knowledge that would not really benefit from evidence. The cost of time to hunt down evidence for these things far exceeds any potential benefit of having such evidence.

I never make claims that are not founded on logical reasoning. They are often based off of knowledge that is in my head that I know is true, as I have before seen enough good, verifiable evidence (ie: not from books or other sources written by people that are thouroughly convinced of their view and ignore all evidence against it, so that they can still claim that they are right, even though their claims are opinions, not actual factual claims) of it to know that it is true, but that I do not have access to written verification of at the moment, and so I can not cite any specific references. Web sites are in general unreliable, so I do not like to cite them as accurate sources of information when I can avoid it.

If you are going to make such claims against me, you have to make them equally against the other parties of this debate, as they provided no evidence of their claims. So, singling me out is quite wrong to do. Even you provided no evidence for your claims up until this post.
