[W:233]Praise The Lord

Re: Praise The Lord

I know a woman who posted a crap-ton of "praise the lord" statements on Facebook because her brother's cancer was declared to be in remission.
What followed after her post was dozens of similar "praise the lord" type comments, and "prayers do work" type posts.

Not one single person, not one bothered to mention or thank:

Anyone in the entire medical world
Anyone in the entire pharmaceutical world for the chemo drugs
None of his personal doctors and nurses
Nobody in the scientific world at all

Because obviously the ONLY reason his cancer is in remission is ............

Why doesn't God ever heal amputees?
 
Re: Praise The Lord

More appropriate question: Why did homo sapiens concoct gods? Answer: To try and explain that which they did not,and do not understand.



Another silly argument that's been regurgitated a lot!


Scientists cannot explain the origin of life!
What god are they going to "concoct" now? Hahahahaha


No wonder some scientists end up believing in God!

Regurgitated because it has NEVER been disproven... ( fact ) :lol:
 
Re: Praise The Lord

How you know God or the devil actually exist? ( you don't)

How do you know they don't? (you don't) No way, Jose!


BUT....the possibility that God does exists, is supported by science.


The National Academy of Sciences also says:

"Many religious persons, including many scientists, hold that God created the universe and the various processes driving physical and biological evolution and that these processes then resulted in the creation of galaxies, our solar system, and life on Earth.

This belief, which sometimes is termed 'theistic evolution,' is not in disagreement with scientific explanations of evolution.

Indeed, it reflects the remarkable and inspiring character of the physical universe revealed by cosmology, paleontology, molecular biology, and many other scientific disciplines."

Even if evolution happens to be true - Christians can own it!

Your opinion doesn't stand on anything.

I've never claimed that any gods or devils don't exist. If you claim I have, feel free to post the thread and post #....I won't hold my breath and you shouldn't either. Reason? That post doesn't exist. :mrgreen: 'possibility' isn't 'proof'.... (fact)

Hahahaha You're making a claim that contradicts science.



Science says the possibility exists! (FACT).

Science calls it, THEISTIC evolution - the belief that God created the universe, and all the processes that started, and had evolution rolling.


Since you don't agree with....and you contradict science........

The onus is on you to prove that the possibility isn't there! :lol:

Jumping petunia! Backtracking already????

Lol. You seem to be feeling your shaky ground, eh? Whatsamatter?
With science against you.....just felt the rug gone from under your feet?





I don't have the time to search (I don't care anyway). :roll:
Like as if I'll waste time searching for silly, illogical, juvenile posts!



But here's one, I just responded to this, post #174:

Responding to a post is NOT debunking a post. You're simply just not very good at this.

Re: Praise The Lord

Why don't people pray to God to make an amputated leg grow back?

The one miracle god has yet to perform. He can raise the dead boy Jesus, but give someone back their arm...he needs a mechanical engineer to design one made from an alloy.

I felt like I was about to have a seizure trying to read thru all that. The message gets completely lost in the process.

Re: Praise The Lord

Why would you need an immune system if god didn't make viruses?

So this god is not perfect? Why not create perfect immune systems? Elvira's thinking is anything but logical.
 
Re: Praise The Lord

Science relies on faith, on assumptions that must be taken on faith. That is indisputable, and that was the point of the post. Your post is a naturalist prayer. Lovely, but nothing more than a prayer. And medicine is largely the treatment of symptoms through educated guesswork.

Science relies on the ability to test things. Polio was eradicated, not just the symptoms of it. Medicine largely treats the causes of illnesses and cures them through careful scientific research. It admits those areas that it is unable to find cures, but it does not abandon the attempt. Your view of medicine is incorrect and thankfully not that of those who practice actual scientific medicine.

Re: Praise The Lord

Strawman Fallacy; nobody argued that it didn't.

The difference is that believers, while viewing the medical treatment as healing, ultimately view God as healing. Unbelievers simply view the medical treatment as healing. -- It has everything to do with differing religious beliefs... You look at the same thing and conclude one thing, while I look at the same thing and conclude another thing... This goes back to our Phenomenology talk that we had...

No, you need to use a control group. If two people receive treatment anything else is irrelevant as far as results. You don't know how to determine the efficacy of treatments.

Man is flawed. Man concocted god (s)..Therefore god (s) are flawed.
 
Re: Praise The Lord

You conflate "evidence" and "proof." Nothing outside mathematics and logic has been or can be proved. We believe Neptune exists. There is evidence that Neptune exists. There is no proof that Neptune exists. Same goes for the existence of "goldkam."

We know that Neptune exists. It has nothing to do with belief. There is a preponderance of physical evidence of Neptune. It is a fact it exists. Facts do not require belief.
