If you really want answers to you...Hello Matthew, <br /><br />If you really want answers to your challenges and arguments, I have made your comments and my responses available in the latest post on Foundations Creation Club blog. Here is the link: http://www.foundationscreationclub.blogspot.com/2012/11/answering-skeptics_29.html<br /><br />Caleb (Leader of FCC)Foundations Creation Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15303124649363380272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724681037086904646.post-71943807797762924202012-11-20T22:07:54.371-08:002012-11-20T22:07:54.371-08:00Too funny that secular samaritan has an add on you...Too funny that secular samaritan has an add on your page.<br /><br />Once you start to prove your claims, I'll take you seriously. <br /><br />Question:"Millions are good without God, are you?" - If you believe that there is no infinite Creator God, and that all life came about through a series of random chance accidents, then who determines what is "good" and "bad"". <br /><br />Answer:Look up Kohlberg's stages of moral development, and get back to me. Who determines good or bad? We do.<br /><br />Question: If we are just animals that are evolving by the process of survival of the fittest, then wouldn’t we want to get rid of the less fortunate members of society so that we can continue this process of upward evolution? And if every person decides what’s right and wrong for themselves, couldn’t stealing be considered just as “good” as giving large sums of money?<br /><br />Answer: Evolution doesn't have squat to say about moral decisions. Evolution is simply the change in biological populations over time. You wanna talk about where morals come from, talk to a philosopher or an evolutionary psychologist.<br />But if you wanna talk about what science has to say about morality, and not a 2,000 year old book, check these out. <br /><br />"Bzdok, D. et al. Parsing the neural correlates of moral cognition: ALE meta-analysis on morality, theory of mind, and empathy. Brain Struct Funct, 2011.". Springerlink.com. 2012-01-24<br /><br />and <br /><br />Harenski, CL; Antonenko, O; Shane, MS; Kiehl, KA. (2010). "A functional imaging investigation of moral deliberation and moral intuition". Neuroimage 49: 2707–2716.<br /><br /><br />And finally, in response to your first statement-arguments from incredulity are not arguments. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean you can just wave your magic wand and say "god did it". If you wanna know the actual math behind the probabilities and how they function, then read this article<br /><br /> <br />How Anti-Evolutionists Abuse Mathematics by J Rosenhouse. Can be found on James Madison University's website.<br /><br />Finally, while we're at it, please explain the following:<br /> <br />Surface area of Earth=approximately 200 million square miles <br /> <br />Height of Mt Everest is approximately 5.5 miles<br /><br />Amount of water that needed to be supplied (and disposed of) in the Great Flood=1.1 billion cubic miles. <br /><br />The atmosphere today=only capable of holding the equivalent of one inch of precipitation. <br /><br />The amount of rain per second that would be falling to generate 1.1 billion cubic miles of water over 40 days=289 cubic miles per second.<br /><br />Should you go with the hydroplate theory that most of the water was stored underground like most creationists do, then please show me basaltic erosional deposits are, as well as explain how the water didn't immediately boil and kill Noah. I mean even at 2 miles deep, water is ~200 degrees F at that depth due to heat from the earth's core. <br /><br />When you're done, let's have a little chat about structural engineering and the beam equations needed for the ark to work.<br /><br /><br />matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01064104388453493034noreply@blogger.com
