nobody. he always existed.


Special pleading. That is a logical fallacy.

Jireh wrote:
2. Why would the creator of a rather hazardous universe like ours, with so much apparently unnecessary suffering, be worth worshiping, even if he existed?


before i answer your question , please answer this question first : since it seems you are concerned about this issue, what do YOU do to diminish the suffering in the world ?


And now we see the Red Herring fallacy..

The existence of evil is only a problem if you are positing the existence of an all-powerful, all-knowing and benevolent being. The existence of evil contradicts the possible existence of such a being.

Why not?

As far as we know, energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

And now we see laughable apologetics that have been debunked innumerable times.

Jireh wrote:
The KCA is formulated as follows:

1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause


Unsupported assumption.

We have NEVER seen anything begin to exist in the way that you mean here (from nothing). EVERYTHING that we have observe beginning to exist is an example of the rearrangement of stuff that already exists. It is a re-organization, not a beginning.

Jireh wrote:
2. The universe began to exist


Unsupported assumption.

We know nothing about what occurred prior to 10-43 seconds AFTER the Big Bang.

Jireh wrote:
3. Therefore, the universe has a cause


Unsupported conclusion.

Jireh, what, to you, is the essential distinguishing characteristic between patterns of colour and light and patterns of A, C, G, and T that leads you to observe codification in one, but not the other?


http://www.yourgenome.org/dgg/general/code/code_1.shtml

DNA's code is written in only four 'letters', called A, C, T and G. The meaning of this code lies in the sequence of the letters A, T, C and G in the same way that the meaning of a word lies in the sequence of alphabet letters. Your cells read the DNA sequence to make chemicals that your body needs to survive.


are they called letters, or patterns ?


Neither.

The "letters" are the abbreviations for the names of chemical compounds.

A=Adenine
C=Cytosine
T=Thymine
G=Guanine

Bare-arsed assertion.

Energy is a damn sight more likely to exist eternally than your god. For a start, god would have needed energy to do anything. So before your god existed, energy did.

And if you make the utterly idiotic claim that god always existed, then you just show that your argument is bankrupt.


I know less than nothing about anything scientific, but even I figured out that it was some form of energy that caused the big bang. I wish someone would figure out what so we can finally cremate all those bibles.

Watchman wrote:Ladies and Gentlemen ... I see you are enjoying yourselves playing with Jireh (Angelo)

This is just to point you to the fact that all your responses to his "copied & pasted" arguments and statements have been made already (and in several languages).
(I see you've already noticed his arguments are not actually his arguments at all ).
I urge you to check out the following links from his own website...
http://elshamah.heavenforum.org/t12-for ... stians-etc

http://elshamah.heavenforum.org/t11-eng ... n-the-past

Angelo has been at this for some considerable time... see below ... he even warrants his own "monitoring team".

http://clubecetico.org/forum/index.php?topic=21584.0

Just in case any one was actually expecting a genuine debate.

PS. the lists of websites he has hit can prove quite useful if you are looking to expand your experience of Scepticism or Atheism.


Several of us have known about him since he hit the Richard Dawkins Forums 3 years ago. We've also known about his vanity forum for some time. However, I wasn't aware he'd been so prolific at spamming rationalist forums. I suspect some other people here will be interested in this ...


It's very curious. Angelo has been a proselytizing mythicist in the huge Historical Jesus/Mythicist Jesus thread here for about three years or so (going back to the defunct Richard Dawkins forum). So it's very odd to see him here posting as a theist and not a non-believer at all(!), while 99.9% of the Jesus mythicists I've encountered are atheists. I know of only one exception to that: the poster Kapyong, who is a confirmed Jesus mythicist while also a theist. Could it be that we have a second such case here?

Jireh, if you really wouldn't mind answering this simple query ...

chairman bill wrote:Jireh
I accept that my point-by-point reply to your 'wall of block capital text' post might have included rather too many questions for you to answer. So I'll just reiterate the one here, in hope that you'll answer it. Here goes.

chairman bill wrote:REALLY? Oops! Sorry. :oops: Really? The evidence is overwhelming? Yet a few pages ago you wrote,
So if the evidence is by its very nature, ambiguous, how can it be overwhelming? Please explain this discrepancy.

Jireh definitely isn't the angelo here on RS, but he's Angelo elsewhere and has a different name here because Angelo was already taken.

Bribase wrote:Meh.

Not that I don't appreciate the intelligence, Watchman. But Whether or not his "evidences" are copied and pasted or simply written once and used to spam various forums isn't very important. What is important is whether or not these arguments stand up to scutiny.

Jireh, there have been several criticisms of your arguments for the existence of your god so far on the thread. It's time for you to either refute these criticisms or concede that your "evidences" are not valid.

The ball is in your court, Jireh.

Instead of following up the criticisms of your proofs with accusations of us being "Blind to the truth", show is how our citicisms are flawed. We explained why we have grave doubts in the soundness of your argument. Ignoring our criticisms simply makes you a guilty of the hypocrisy that you accused us of. We explained why the arguments are flawed, ignoring our critcism makes you, not us guilty of ignoring whatever goes against what you wish to be true.


I have not posted my arguments, with the intent to answer to all criticism. It was not me, opening this thread. I dont have neither time to answer all objections accurately at ones........

Could you please tell the members of this forum that I'm not you or your not me? If you don't mind.

So, having had my dastardly plan upset by the revelation that the Fibonacci Series isn't actually a code, I thought I'd best give up on the line of reasoning I hoped would follow Jireh's answer. But it seems as if all is not yet lost ...

What does this prove?


It doesnt proove anything, is howeve more powerful evidence of God. How otherwise could it be explained by a unguided random forces , or evolution ?

Jireh
there is an analogy here to the whole 'codes in nature' issue that has been discussed here. There is of course, no code here, but there is a mathematical principle underpinning the apparent design we see. Mathematical principles can be seen to underpin everything in the cosmos. If your god exists, he is at heart, a mathematician. Would you accept this?

Oh, and by the way, please answer the question I have been asking again & again (see above a couple of posts or so).

But if you want to convince me that your assertion that DNA patterns are the product of a mind, then you need to back that up, but you - as you admit - are not capable of that, so I'm left with my current understanding, which is far more coherent than the wishful thinking bollocks that you're spouting.


well, the argument goes with a sillogy :

http://www.cosmicfingerprints.com/dna-atheists/

1) DNA is not merely a molecule with a pattern; it is a code, a language, and an information storage mechanism.
2) All codes are created by a conscious mind; there is no natural process known to science that creates coded information.
3) Therefore DNA was designed by a mind.
