I'm afraid that doesn't answer my question: Isn't equating "god" with "nature" just confusing what is meant by those 2 words? Why not call a spade a spade? I mean, when it comes to just about everybody's definition of god that means anything that the word god might mean, you're an atheist...

Physicist: I suspect that you are a Naturalistic Pantheist (aka Monist Physicalist). If I am correct about that, why do you bother? Isn't equating "god" with "nature" just confusing what is meant by "nature"? Best, AAA PS. I don't think my question is off topic, since this is what I would...

Wow. How embarrassing for Behe.

Were those the exact words used int he trial regarding science and astrology?

Old people are people. Embryonic stem cells are not people. You equate them because of your metaphysical belief that they both have souls, but you have not a shred of evidence that souls exist, so your argument is baseless.

LOL - good one. Since writing his book, Denton has changed his mind about evolution. He now embraces the Theory that he knows is not in crisis. Behe's work has been thoroughly debunked. Irreducible complexity is an old schtick from the 1800's that has been shown over and over again to be pure...

Blatantly false. I suggest reading "Why Evolution is True", by Jerry Coyne, or "The Greatest Show on Earth", by Richard Dawkins, to learn all one needs to know about the issue of transitional fossils and how their existence is nicely in keeping with the Theory of Evolution. If that doesn't...

I can't see a difference between what people call their soul and what they call their mind. A mind is the product of a functioning brain. No mind, and therefore no soul, has ever been observed to function in the absence of a functioning brain. There's no evidence that there is anything more to...

Drew, You can always claim 'divine design" for absolutely anything. We understand how lightening works very well now, but if one were inclined, one could still believe that Zeus manipulates electrons in the atmosphere to cause it. The question boils down to what evidence one has for 'divine...

The Christian god could have used the process outlined by the theory of evolution to create humans over billions of years leading to the extinction of 99% of species that ever lived through an unimaginably cruel competition for survival (despite his apparent goodness) in the same way that, to...

How do you support this statement? I mean, if a 12 year old asked you, "why do you say that", or "how do you know that", what would you say azlan88?

azlan88, So Huntington's disease, a severe brain disorder, reveals what about the Christian god's nature then? Please try to be consistent with your previous post when you answer the question. In Huntington's disease, a dominant genetic disorder, adults with one copy of the gene do not develop...

I think a snowflake counts, as does the formation of other crystals, fractals (mind blowing), the property of emergence (which is incredibly fascinating), etc.

I suggest starting with the BBC documentary, "The Secret Life of Chaos", which is available in 6 x 10 minute parts on Youtube. If you have a hard time finding it, PM me and I will provide you with a link.

Read on both sides of the debate. Learn about how to think critically and not be swayed by fallacious arguments (we have terms like "wishful thinking" and "self deception" for good reasons). Try to take into account as much as you can of the full 21st century understanding of biology and...
