So, philosophically, you see no reason in anything apart from humanity?

Well, if it's on the internet...

What have you observed that doesn't have a cause?

So does the uniformity of values come from some evolutionary advantage that is derived from them? Or, do you deny that there are (nearly) universally valued traits?

I'm not going anywhere with...

It didn't.

Evolution as origins certainly takes faith. You've admitted as much.

I also experienced that confusion between what was "spiritual" and what was "emotional". As you know, I graduated in biology and then went on to get a master's degree in theology. What I've come to...

Won't speak for Guisslap, but that is the exact position of the philosophical naturalist. They refuse to believe in the supernatural out of principle. They only see things they can't explain yet,...

It's a confluence of evidence thing for me…the most powerful evidence being my personal testimony. I understand the lack of understanding by those who haven't had an encounter with Christ. That...

Sure, but existence doesn't mean equality. Judaism was the foundation of Christianity. They were one in the same until the Jews rejected the Messiah. The Old Testament prophecies are one of the...

No you couldn't because without Christianity, there would be no mormonism or islam.

So, your answer is no.

Perhaps you're right and they were crazy, but it doesn't seem likely that this band of 12 crazy people were able to spark what became the dominant world religion within 350...

The letter wasn't just written to you. You may have only seen it after the author died, but that's not the case for the intended audience of the letter. Sure, people lie and misrepresent, but what...

You're opinion is noted, but I don't see how you can "scientifically" make that case. You have faith that the bible is merely a collection of prehistoric fairy tales. I see an internally consistent...

There is a nuance here that we ignore to our peril. The Bible says that God created Adam in a state of perfection. There was nothing wrong with Adam when he was created. He was created, however,...

It was not formed. There were no processes. He has always been…character intact.

Absolutely. God knows all from eternity past to eternity future. He knows things as they actually are and as they would be if situations were different.

Based upon what? You can only lean on your opinion which is fine, but let's not act like it's more than it is. Again, in the context of internal consistency, that is the biblical answer.

You...

You can't understand the biblical explanation of evil apart from Genesis 3. Now, you may disagree that there was a literal Adam who literally made all of humanity fall by disobeying God, but that is...

It's a good question. Typically, when I encounter the question, it comes from a position of one who believes Christianity to be internally inconsistent. I don't want to make assumptions, so tell me...

What they point to is an uncaused cause…a prime mover. If everything we are able to observe has a cause, we can conclude that something outside of the rules of what we observe is acting upon what we...

VR and Kiwi are both intolerant. Being that they present themselves as champions of tolerance, they're also hypocrites. Proceed accordingly.

Funny...I guess you're choosing to ignore the fact that your hypocrisy has been uncovered.

That's not an argument Phil. Did you read the article?
