    I'll just start over.

    The discovery of the Higgs Boson is a huge victory for science and says nothing at all about anything religious. One can of course draw conclusions from the fact that religion is unable to produce these kinds of reliable results (and in the event that there is anything wrong with the current understanding of Higgs, I bet it's science that's going to figure that out too), but the discovery in itself makes no such statements.

    That is not the role of religion, to judge science. The rub comes from the fact that God has said that he created it all, from the barely detectable Higgs Boson to the vast universe that is being discovered by science as we speak. The OP article used the discovery of the Higgs Boson as a basis to use science to ridicule religion (Christianity/God) as the creater of matter. While the Higgs Boson is a building block of matter, matter could not have come from nothing it needs a force (energy if you will) to come into being and to sustain itself or be sustained by some force. I believe that force is Jesus/God as the bible says. Physics, Chemistry, Anthropology, and many other sciences reveal the handiwork of the living God, not prove that he is not.

    Hm... Maybe the Earth was just a formless mass covered in water?

    Biblical Adam.and Eve lived before y-chromosomal.Adam and mitochondrial Eve, which are our MOST RECENT ancestor, not the only ancestor. So no, that alone does not disprove anything.


    lol thats what I just said! I said if our evolution was all about survival, why are there 4 members of the Great Ape family and not just 1, humans?

    please keep your eyes inside your head to ensure you actually read my post before responding.



    I worded that wrong, I meant humans evolve from apes. But fair enough, you provided an example, however it doesn't disprove the existance of God now does it?


    Fantastic quote, I agree entirely with it.



    Okay, first of all, go back and read the paragraph YOU highlighted in bold text which indeed does insult "illiterate sheeperheaders of the Middle East" which I now realize I might have misunderstood...

    al-Qaida's presence in the Middle East has nothing to do with intelligence or the article/topic of the thread... Feel free to start a thread and we xan discuss it as much as youd like.

    Quoting me and Hitchens in the same post :heart:

    Look back through all my posts in this thread (from page 9), I proved exactly what I claimed :)

    Would I call this a red herring or a strawman? I don't usually use such words.

    only if your statement that the Higgs boson disproves the existance of God was the same ;)

    I bet that Christopher Hitchens would tell a different story now.

    More BS... Do you respect people with unfounded, crazy-sounding beliefs that aren't in the Bible? Like, I dunno, Muslims?

    The rub actually comes from the fact that people have claimed to speak for gods, over and over and over again, and still they do so even today, and never - not once - have they revealed something of significance. It's always just emotionally charged anti-scientific, anti-intellectual, anti-skeptic claptrap.

    Seems like Atheists have faith as well, just in different (wrong) things. They believe deeply in their religion. A true Atheist would not care about people of faith or their activities and would not be threatened by them. But science inferring Atheists are deeply committed to their beliefs and spend much energy and resources proselytizing. Sounds like religion to me.

    They make no such claim. They wrote under inspiration of the Holy Spirit who is God.

    ¿Messianic Christians? ... is this something like americanic Americans? ... whatever ... no information about such a group of people available here.

    To try to kill a mass-murderer because someone likes to stop mass-murder (completly independent wether this is a good idea or not or wether this is real or not) is understandable from a christian point of view - to do this in a church during mass is not understandable. The man who did so was not a Christian.

    Sounds like what is revealed in your signature line references. Just saying.

    ?

    What's wrong with your brainware?

    No one who is a natural scientist can believe that this

    is not a human being. And to kill innocent human beings is in nearly all cases a completly wrong decision.

    There is a great deal of effort to derail this thread with off topic irrelevance and banal arguments that have nothing whatsoever to do with the Higgs Boson or ultimate creation.

    If 2 or 3 people are playing poker then they are playing poker - and if they like to tell everyone nonsense then they are calling themselve "poker-church".

    But the man himself disagrees with you, and you have brought no proof otherwise. Just your defensive decision to try to protect your faith from the shame of what it can lead to, in the extreme.

    But it they gather in Christ's name, He is there.

    The man is not a Christian and abortion is in nearly all cases wrong - that's all.

    You are not able to be a one of this 2 or 3 humen beings. That's maybe your problem.

    Please explain how we can trace back out lineage to one man and one woman.......

    Better yet, I will tell you.....every man that was tested (4 million men from all parts of the world) in the Human Gnome Project has one mutation in the Y-Chromosome. That means all men can trace their heritage back to one man. The same applied with women and Mitochondrial DNA.

    Now, you claim the biblical Adam and Eve lived BEFORE Y-chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve. Sounds like a wonderful solution, except for Y-chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve lived some 50K years apart.

    Remember this: Darwin Lives! Modern Humans Are Still Evolving

    As soon as The biblical Adam and Eve had one child, that child will have mutations. Your nonsense of the biblical Adam and Eve lived BEFORE Y-chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve, is just that - nonsense.

    Commonsense and reasoning. Try it some time.


    If you are asking then the ignorance on Evolution and Natural Selection is breathtaking here. :eyepopping:


    Read this very carefully: it does because it disproves Genesis that god picked up some dirt and made man from it. Man EVOLVED from Apes, not from dirt and one of Adams ribs.

    He's a murderer. I'm not sad about.

    He destroyed a holy ceremony with murder. I would be very astonished if I would be wrong: He is not a Christian.

    You are forcing me continously to give you completly stupid answers on completly stupid questions. Meanwhile I was a short time really angry. But it's not good to become angry. Essence: Abortion is wrong! "Abortion is wrong." I hope your are able to remember this three words "Abortion is wrong" in the moment you need it. Everything else what we spoke about is completly superflous - and even this has now nothing to do with Higgs-bosons and the Higgs-field.

    Well, we agree on one thing. Your answers are stupid.
    But no one forced you to make them. You have to take responsibility for that.
