Which do you think best answers the questions of how the earth was created?

For me: Science.

Planetary formation tells me how it happened. And no, "why" and "how is it that..." are not equivalent.

  Really? Name one "why" question that cannot be converted to "how is it that.."


Why would I do that?

What is the reason for me doing that?

Try again.


"What is the reason... "

You try again... that wasn't, "how it it that..." Changing your tactics and rules in mid stream is not acceptable. If you look back, "Science for the details. Religion for the reasons" was my original post.

This one. And I'm about done here, you're being extremely dull and it's a little annoying to be honest.

See, you made claims about what I said that weren't true. You think I'm annoying? What do you consider yourself? Why should I have to defend something I didn't say? That's what you're wanting me to do. So if you're done here, I'm just as glad.

And the question I was originally responding to was the OP... "Which do you think best answers the questions of how the earth was created?"

You claimed religion explains exactly the reason behind life, whereas science explains the how of it.
I claimed your religion does no such thing, as it's not given an actual valid reason for living.  

Defend your argument or don't, I could care less, I already know you and most other Christians can't grasp the concept of debate.


You have never accurately described any position I have ever stated. This is no exception. I made no claim about religion explaining "exactly the reason behind life"... find that statement and we can talk about it.

I didn't ask for how. You claimed biology is how whereas religion is why. If religion has neither, then thereyago.

  No, that's how. Not why. Man has freewill therefore has the potential to be evil, for what purpose? Why is there evil at all?

  The bad thing about bad emotions like jealousy is it gets people killed.


What does science say about the appendix? Nipples?


They are useless.

 


What does science have to say about 'evil'?

For the most part, it is subjective.  

 


What does science have to say about 'emotions'?

So, I'm wondering, are you ever going to answer my question?

When you ask a meaningful question, I might. Pulling picayune bs out of your ass to try to make a shitty point doesn't even rate a response, really.

  Misread.
  Um, The bible doesn't really explain why, it just kind of 'is'. I never caught an ultimate reasoning behind this nonsense.

Maybe that's your problem, you read it with the idea that it's "nonsense".


Please, if you have any idea why we have appendixes or males have nipples let me know.  
Or on a deeper matter why evil exists but soon will not exist. Or why god has emotions that even humans see as obviously a bad thing.

When you find the biology lessons in the Bible let me know.

Evil exists because man has free will. What is the "bad" thing about emotions?
