Where did you read that??I thought ALL children, defects and all, were perfect

Come on! I know our exchange has been a joke to you, but seriously? You pass yourself off as a Christian and don't believe that God loves all his children, defects and all? I think I just found out by your rebuttal what a fake Christian sounds like.Where did you read that??
"Perfect" how? Not all defects are readily apparent. What if said child develops a condition later on, juvenile diabetes as 1 example? We're they born "perfect" or was a "design" flaw already in place?
I'm not a Christian at all. I don't belong to any religionCome on! I know our exchange has been a joke to you, but seriously?

There is and when it reaches out to you it cant be denied. I have had 3 experiences with the afterlife. Its something you must experience yourself. Not just with an NDE but it can touch you in ways that cant be denied. It has saved my life, connected me with parents who died that I never knew, and a brother reached out to me. I have known 2 mediums that were real. One a longtime friend. Our minds are energy and that cant be destroyed. Open your mind it wnnt hurt.There is no afterlife just cowards running away from the reality of death. If you experienced anything, it was just a dream/hallucination..
As a psychologist I can tell you there are no rational explanations for NDEs. Describe the experiment it doesnt exist. NFEs are being studied scientifically and there is mounting evidence that they are real. I have never had one but the afterlife has reached out to me in ways that cant be denied. Have an open mind its a fascinating topicThere are rational physiological explanations for NDEs. An experiment can also be performed to validate claims of a NDE.
Using things known to exist by corporeal beings.Maybe it isnt.
But that doesnt change the fact its still intelligent creation
Emotions determine how intelligence is appliedUsing things known to exist by corporeal beings.
If it takes intelligence to create a watch, therefore much more intelligence to create a watchmaker, imagine how much intelligence is required to create this creator of watchmakers.
Which doesn't solve the problem of who created God.Emotions determine how intelligence is applied
Belief or non belief is determined by ones emotional needs. The human brain is hard wired to ponder ideas we cant understand thats how we learn. Its not wrong its just part of human nature.Which doesn't solve the problem of who created God.
The watchmaker argument is fallacious. We can argue only within the scope of our understanding, and an endless regression of creators is beyond this.
Tiptoeing through the tulips this morning?Belief or non belief is determined by ones emotional needs. The human brain is hard wired to ponder ideas we cant understand thats how we learn. Its not wrong its just part of human nature.
Physiological processes is not a ratioal explanation?As a psychologist I can tell you there are no rational explanations for NDEs.
Simple. Some claim to experience floating over others or themelves during an NDE event. All that needs to bed one is have a word or phrase written in a loction hidden from the bed point of view, but visible from a higher vantage point. A patient would ot be told about it and if the experience an NDE, they can see the word/phrase and repeat what it is as a means of validating the NDE.Describe the experiment it doesnt exist.
They are "real" in the sense that they are the product of the mind in duress due to trauma, hypoxia, medication indced, ect. Kind of like a hallucination.NFEs are being studied scientifically and there is mounting evidence that they are real.
WHat ways would those be? I'm open to evidence. Not empty claims.I have never had one but the afterlife has reached out to me in ways that cant be denied. Have an open mind its a fascinating topic
Belief is emotional and people are irrational. Non-belief is rational.Belief or non belief is determined by ones emotional needs.
Yes, we are quite the silly species. We'll come up with quite the stories or imagination to explain things we do not understand.The human brain is hard wired to ponder ideas we cant understand thats how we learn. Its not wrong its just part of human nature.
More like emotions determine how rational or irrational we react.Emotions determine how intelligence is applied
I mean they are still born with the potential to choke on food, cant hear or smell as well as other animals etc.I'll grant you that. but when a child is born without any birth defects, then that human is born perfect.
Therefore that particular human is of perfect, intelligent design
You guys love to copy others then just replace the wording.Yes, we are quite the silly species. We'll come up with quite the stories or imagination to explain things we do not understand.
Thats what atheism is
Who's making up stories about gods and such to explain things they do not understand, theists or atheists?Yes, we are quite the silly species. We'll come up with quite the stories or imagination to explain things we do not understand.

As a "psychologist," surely you know personal experiences are subjective and anecdotal and not actual evidence for anything, right?There is and when it reaches out to you it cant be denied. I have had 3 experiences with the afterlife. Its something you must experience yourself. Not just with an NDE but it can touch you in ways that cant be denied.
Funny how no "medium" has ever been verified to be real.It has saved my life, connected me with parents who died that I never knew, and a brother reached out to me. I have known 2 mediums that were real.
Not true I have known 2 that are real.Who's making up stories about gods and such to explain things they do not understand, theists or atheists?

The concept intimidates atheists which makes no sense because it isn t about God its simply the natural order of life.I am impressed this thread is still going. But "seeing the afterlife" is easy to prove, take enough Ketamine or even Scopolamine, and you'll see every afterlife described by every religion.
Real, how? Its one thing to have an hallucination and quite another to claim said hallucination is actually a "real" thing.Not true I have known 2 that are real.
I doubt atheists would find it intimidating. Silly is more like it.The concept intimidates atheists which makes no sense because it isn t about God its simply the natural order of life.

It's more likely theists who would call medical care a "miracle."I do think I've ever known an atheist who is intimidated by understanding the results of taking certain medicines.
I suppose atheists tend to call out nonsensical BS when it's encountered. Discussion forums are funny like that.Atheists who claim this is all nonsense sure seem to be posting a lot in this thread
