"God does not exist"

But they've been defeated so many times, that they've given up on this. There are no more atheists anymore. They have abandoned their atheism and took a giant leap to the right, finding themselves in the new territory of agnosticism.

Instead of making a declarative statement that is either true or false, like, "God does not exist", they now claim ignorance:

"I don't know."

Ignorance needs no arguments, logic or evidence. Anyone can claim ignorance and there is nothing to defend because there is no position taken.

So instead of atheists saying, "God does not exist", their new claim is, "I'm ignorant" and therefore there is no debate to be had.

Atheists are now hiding from theists because theistic arguments are too convincing and atheistic arguments are horrible and embarrassing.

But look at what they believe! The believe that long ago it rained on the rocks and the rocks came to life.

They mock the idea of God creating Adam and Eve and compare him to a big magician in the sky who pulls a rabbit out of the hat. But atheists believe the same thing, <except>, there's no magician, no rabbit and no hat!

It's absurd to think about a rock being rained on and coming to life and this embarrasses the libs, for good reason. They try to get away from it, "Evolution is about the mechanism behind the extreme diversification of species, not about origins!"

But philosophers and biologists agree that a theory of evolution that does not include origins of life is an incomplete theory. Imagine that all of history has been recorded on film and you're playing the film backwards. You see people devolve into apes and on and on, until they are sliming their way out of the primordial soup. But then you go back further until you arrive at the beginning - where it rained on the rocks and the rocks came to life.

Evolution doesn't effect my arguments for theism one way or another. Some Christians interpret the bible in light of their commitment to pseudoscientific pagan theories, like evolution, and find creative ways to make it seem like evolution is not necessarily at odds with the biblical account. I don't really buy into that, but my point is that evolution is not a problem for me in my arguments in any way, shape or form.

But I just happen to think it's the stupidest religion on the face of the earth, hands down. All of the evidence is in the imagination. We are asked to imagine the evidence. And then the kids with the skinny jeans that just got out of college, all booked up, all puffed up, think they know everything now, they like to say that "you just don't understand" and "there's mountains of evidence."

A question: why black bears are more agressive toward humans?

1) Systemic Speciesism

2) Homo Sapien Privilege

3) Great Society programs like:

a) Affordable Dens
b) Picnic Basket Stamps
c) Cubs without daddies funding

4) Abeartion (It's a mama bears right to choose)

Also, Jesus baptized people. As St. John the Apostle (and Evangelist) explains, it wasn't Jesus doing the actual immersion, but the disciples under His authority.

I am confident that all of Jesus' Apostles were baptized, but the New Testament doesn't tell us anything about this, other than for St. Paul.

The big one, with a capital J! See here:

<OhioChessFan: ... That will be decided at the Judgment.>

So he probably means the one which St. Peter preached to the Gentiles in Acts 10:42. It is described in more detail by St. John the Apostle, in Rev. 20:11-15.

Many eons ago when I was ignorant that there even was an evolution creation debate. I inadvertently entered into one by simply asking a marine biologist/nurse/Catholic about an article I read where a man lost a rib in a truck accident and it grew back. He informed that yes indeed the floating ribs will grow back if the sheath was left intact. He then asked does this have anything to do with Adam and Eve? My reply on the Instantchess forum was to ask if any other bones in the human body can grow back.

My first ever forum posts and the atheists crawled out of the woodwork like I was the Frankenstein monster... I was called everything despicable. However after months of protracted debate and me getting the better of doctors, lawyers, scientists, professors and a self proclaimed genius or two the forum was shut down, literally removed because a lowly ignorant Postal worker couldn't be answered? Cancel culture decades ago and here we are today.

A few people came forward and thanked me and even a few of the fair minded people asked how I was able to debate these people who were obviously smarter than I was. My answer was simple the truth is always an enormous advantage if you understand why it is true. This went on for 5-6 months until they pulled the plug. It was a Russian chess site so maybe Putin who knows ;0]

The distal phalanges in fingers can grow back after amputation (along with the rest of the tip and nail).

Certain internal organs regenerate after disease or surgery (eg liver), as does the skin.
