so....we know that the world is flat, but.....

Milestone

when will people finally figure out that there is no god?

rightondude

Because you missed the threads on this already?

It's been covered at length, and the concluision is that there is no proof in either direction that's conclusive. It is an endless, circular argument no matter how much you think you know, or can prove. It goes way beyond what you can even think to prove, or hope to think of proving? Get it?

When will scientists, who previously thought the world was flat but now realize it's not, come to accept the existance of God. Just like they cam eto accept the world's shape.

Something that is technically flat, is round, because it's flat only relative to the earth, which is round. So theoretically the earth is also flat, if it's the standard for flat.

When you can prove it. Go ahead.

Thanks. Close the thread please. There is no room for further discussion, since others have already discussed it.

In fact....the entire message board should be shut down, because everything regarding Pearl Jam has already been discussed at least once.

Regarding the morally vacuous UN, it was once said:

"If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass ..."
-Abba Eban

And it bears mention that the UN bans only one country from sitting on its cherished committes - Israel. Hmmmm, sounds like real apartheid to me and not the imagined slur made by Israel's foes.

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Israel as racist as Kofi Annan.

this thread is fucking retarded, but i find it funny that the person who believes in nothing is supposed to prove it.

The person who believes that God does not exist is not a person who believes in nothing. He is a person who believes that God cannot exist.

it's pretty easy really...where's your proof of god? oh, this book, i see.

I don't believe in God.

i pity the godless like i pity the tramp in the street.

to be an athiest is to have no self respect. u think ur brain power is a cause of nature. think to urselves on moment, one by one. is it possible that someone with ur complex thoughts and self awareness is just a mistake?

if you find a watch on an uninhabited island... you would say someone must have put it there. for a watch is too complex a mechanism to have just got there by chance. the watch must have had a designers, and a manufacturer, as its mechanisms are complex, and need to be exact for it to work.

think of yourself, and compare yourself with a watch. you must think you are very simple people

That is very godly of you. Who says that we're mistakes?

Who said close the thread? (You I guess?). I just said you aren't gonna find yourself an answer (anytime soon)

It's not religion you must find, but spirituality. Without it, your head is a sad miserable place to hang out in...

I don't think we were just 'put here by mistake'.

I think we were monkeys that evolved into humans over millions of years.

But, you can stick with your watch on an island theory. You are the type of person that needs to have an answer to every question. In fact, that's what religion is. An answer that someone came up with, because the question of "why and how did we get here" is too complex.

You may pity whomever you like. Don't be surprised if many of us "godless" consider your pity to be irrelevant.

A mistake? No. An act of nature? Yes.

I would say so because watches are made by men, not by islands.

I think I'm far better than a watch.

You told me that I missed the previous threads on this, it's been covered at length, and there was a conclusion.

To me, that means that I started a topic that's been beaten to death and we should move on to the next topic.

This is why I think the Matrix could be real. It is how your mind has been conditioned to react that you assumed we should conclude all thought process.

The threads can be anything (the title is generic enough) and all threads on MT usually become anyways.

I was being sarcastic when I said to close the thread.

You were being serious when you repremanded me for starting a topic that apparently has been beaten to death.

How about leeches could cure a cold. Science has told us lots that has been complete and utter nonsense. It will continue to do so. It is getting more accurate at some things though.
