So did anyone else see that ABC God debate thing?
-
The entire paradox of using scientific reasoning to prove god's existence leaves my head spinning. If scientific methodology can be used, or is necessary, to prove the existence of God, does that validate God? Or Science?
Modern liberalism has never achieved anything other than giving Secularists something to feel morally superior about
It proves that god created science so man would have a mechanism for proving god exists and that god created science. Or something like that.

You might remember Kirk & Ray from the infamous banana video: Bananas: The Atheist's Nightmare[^] Well, they're back! No, I didn't see it either, but thanks to the miracle of the internet, it's available to everyone. No more debates will ever be required on this subject: case closed![^] My first favourite part was where Kirk proved God scientifically (One hundred percent!) by spending five minutes telling the audience his personal conversion story (it's like part five or something). My second favourite part was where the atheist guy screws up which law of thermodynamics is which. Sigh. Way to go, dude. I should also mention I skipped over large portions of the girl talking because her speaking voice was like OMG FINGERNAILS ON CHALKBOARD. Be warned! (Edit: Oh, this is only part one. Part two airs today. Yay! Cliffhangers!)

My favorite part had to be the CROCKOGATOR. During his entire acting career, I never laughed out loud at anything Cameron did, but that little display of idiocy had me in stitches for several minutes.:laugh:

Yeah, it seems dumb to me, too. Those sort of shows are really just a way for both sides to preach to the converted. Were that not so, there would be an actual clear winner ( and even that would prove nothing )

Very entertaining, thanks! I loved the ending, when the moderator asks Ray and Kirk for comments and they don't have any. :-D

Yeah, no kidding. It was almost painful watching the religious side contain their impulses to cover their ears and yell, "LALALALALALA". :)

Yeah, who needs science? We have the Bible which contains all the knowledge and explanations that we need. People wanting to understand the universe is because of the fall of man. What ever happened to simply having faith and obeying God? :rolleyes:

Have you ever seen Ken(t?) Hovind giving lectures on creation and why evolution is false? Now there's a big fuckin "lalalalalalalalaalala!!". I bet he has secret groupies.

Which is why (no matter what some boneheaded theist says) science and theism is irreconcilable. Science is a tool to describe the natural world using natural explanations, while [pan]theism is an attempt to describe the natural world using supernatural explanations. The latter is quite ludicrous because it implies that you - a natural being - can say yea or nay about things outside the natural universe. Not caring about this is just asking for an endless supply of cans of worms... I bet it is possible to put forth a scientific explanation for the reason why some people cling on to supernaturalism.

Heh. I bet the idea involved alcohol, prostitutes and gambling, but got out of hand...

I think that the reason that some people follow religions is to get a feeling of superiority (i.e. I am better than you because I have special knowledge from God), like the reason people go to political extremism or conspiracy theories.
