Debunking Creationist Claims »
Posted By Radiofreeeuropa 1 year, 5 months ago in NewsScience and spirituality aren't necessarily exclusive of each other,evolution occurs in time, space and form. Spirit, if it does indeed exist, must be of a primordial nature, timeless and formless. The realm of spirituality is outside of time and space and unless you too are outside of time and space, you know no more about it than anyone else.

Fundamentalism- religious doctrine that insists texts are literally incapable of error, or rather that insists someone leading them has opinion about interpreting text that is infallible - are the issue. What would Jesus Deny?
The notion that ancient writings are absolutely true and literal is not only attacking science and progress but also undermines legitimate inquiry of spiritual matters. Why and how could a man seeking to become President claim science was wrong and some singular religious view was right. Why are we building a bridge to the 5th century?

But what about religious moderates? (this means you, Christian America)
Are you being dishonest to your Jesus by not being a complete follower of the Bible dogma? Or are you being dishonest to yourself by picking and choosing only the "Good parts" of the Bible? Inquiring minds want to know...

Debunk everything we know... We once believed that the earth was the center of the Universe and than it was flat, and that it would last forever. Science and religion seem to be comprised of the best guessers

If we choose, as a society, to allow theology to determine how we look at the world, rather than using science to try and explain the world, the slide of US downward into irrelevance and weakness will be complete.

Radio: I just posted this comment on another thread:
I have been thinking a lot lately about the beauty of being created in Gods image lately.
And I am not speaking as a white dude with a beard (which I am).
A gorgeous allegory too bear in mind with those we share this earth with.
Things are not simple, and an Image is much more complicated than how light is reflected from it.
I joyously embrace the concept of being created in Gods image.
My personal interpretation may offend many.
Tough.

Science has been studying CHI and they have found that brainwaves of those that achieve excellence go to the alpha (they are thinking nothing).
Of course they can only hook up all there gizmos to folks like sharpshooters.
Not in the slightest bit as complicated as creating a song.
What is prayer?

Gee my mom and dad created me in there image, her eyes, his jaw sort of thing plus they got to have sex while doing it, god must have been busy that day. Sorry but when people bring up god like you did it makes me want to call them names and insult their intelligence, your probably a great person but it's a standard reaction from me now with out thinking in most cases. How can a smart person using free thinking still believe what you said? We know the only known way humans can be created is with that fun thing we all love to do called sex. Yes I know it can be done in a lab but don't tell my wife that OK. So stories like the virgin Mary and creation in the bible can't be real, it's fantasy at best. Best case scenario is there was once a cult about two thousand years ago that the leader names Jesus founded and was likely killed over. His followers practised this cult and the Romans as they often did back then absorbed it into their culture.

Gods image? why would God need hair, legs, arms,eyes (other body parts) a mouth, eyes??? And what was God doing and thinking prior to creating the Universe, and why so big.
Don't think I'm defending science... there was a ball of pure matter and then it blew up real big???

I'm one who believes that man created God and not the other way around... and I have a postulate that proves it (at least to me). Here goes: If God created all men in his image, then why do all men around the world have such widely different concepts of God? Wouldn't we all have the same vision and image of what or whom God is?

In the U.S., politics and religion are joined in unholy wedlock and science has become heresy.
That does not mean that science and sprituality cannot coexist without contradiction. Unforutunately, in this world most people have become so polarized and narrowminded that usually one thinks that they need to reject one for the other.
Einstein was a perfect example of a man that came to believe that there was an order to the universe and that scientific principles could explain function, that there was a connection between living beings -- that this connection had a spiritural quality, as well.
A rational person that has not been brainwashed by ideology and still retains the ability to think outside of that box, would not refute the existence of fossils and carbon dating. But to use rational evidence in an attempt to convince a creationist of their unfounded beliefs, is a pointless exercise in futility.

Experience has proven to me one simple truth that has brought me peace and the ability to learn without suffering the loss of pride from the need to abandon preconceived ideas; intellect is compatible with knowlege as long as I value humility first. Because it is humility that leaves the door open to trusting the greatest realm of all -- the unknown.
I wish I could maintain that attitude in all circumstances, but I cannot; the best I can do is to resign myself to patient progress.

Man, where do you get your facts. This is just mumbo jumbo someone stuck in your head and you like the way it sounds. If you want me to believe that, you better start showing some proof.

I resent your reference to Neanderthals!! Actually I think that most scientists put Neanderthals as a cousin to man, not something to devolve into? Other then that I agree for the most part and I see an overall trend into the positive, evolution wise. I was sort of offended for awhile while reading it but I decided against that when I saw the comment of God being complex enough to put these forces into play, which is what I personally believe. The beauty of the human race is, like God, we may do as we will and choose the path we wish to. I've always supported evolution and never understood people who object to it... and in my school we were taught creationism as well as evolution, though the former in a history course as opposed to a science one and was learned with stuff about Islam and Zoroastrianism, other religions as well. I personally try not to label people as evolving or devolving, we can never know all that goes on in there mind and may have experiences supporting there ideas.

Technically Neanderthals are indeed believed to have been a different branch on the tree of primates, our ancestors were believed to have been Cro-Magnons, though the term is not favored anymore, I believe instead they modern paleontologists would prefer instead to use the term 'anatomically modern humans'. Geez there's political correctness in history too!
