Are you of Indian descent Bhavv with that name
Or mainly I would like to ask you, what beliefs did your parents, or were you brought up under?
No - it is not good, it is not bad - you're attributing a moral judgement to it which is foolish. It's just an amazingly interesting mystical and ridiculously cool place. I'd rather that it were a place full of things to discover, understand and question than a place that is answered by an overly simplistic sweeping statement like 'god made it and that's good enough for me' or blind faith.
Yup.
That a father once chopped his sons head off out anger, and after realizing his error chopped off an elephants head to stick on his decapacitated sons body, and lo and behold! Ganesh was created![]()
Of course you would agree with him when he defends your beliefs of miraculous childbirths while I do not
Being able to believe in both Christianity and Evolution at the same time is a logical / rational fail of the most epic proportion.
You either believe that God created man, or that man evolved from another species, or whatever other belief / theory you may have.
Thank you Brother. So I was right when I called your ideas typically Hindu.![]()
...was perfectly acceptable. Personally, I think it utterly begs belief that a virgin gave birth to a son - it's the tallest tale of all tall tales. Of course, it requires faith to believe that, but I think to put faith in something like that is foolish. If you believe it, go ahead and do so. But don't tell me that I'm not being respectful to your ideals. If I had said that 'you believe X that makes you a complete moron' and relentlessly continued to put down your beliefs, then yes, you might have a point. Until that stage however, just disagree with me.Well, it isn't
Not unless you're delusional/foolish/trolling.
A.) Because theoretically we did
B.) He did...just we had to evolve to that state
How are they? Hindus believe in miracles and Gods on Earth. I dont.
Very evident Indian speach and Hinduistic thinking.Now, if what Christians and the Bible state is true, that Mary was the virgin mother of Jesus, God was his father, and that Jesus was a man, then according to this, and along with the part that says 'God created us in his Image', God was / is a biologically human male that impregnated Mary.
How did such an organism gain magical universe and live creating powers? And how and where did / does it exist?![]()
The real truth is Bhavv, although people in the west are brought up Christian
That quote had nothing to with hinduism, it was fully based on the biology of childbirth and inheritence, which I studied during my 3 years at university.
Come on Bhavv, lol please do not misquote me out of context lol. I said in the majority.Really? I wasnt aware that everyone in the west were bought up Christian. I wasnt, and neither are atheists / muslims / jews / sikhs / budhists / whatever else.
isn't Hinduism full of supernatural entities flying around the Universe, doing as they please?
I never said I dont understand this point, I just find it a logical fallacy to be able to believe in both Christianity and Evolution.
So far no one can even counter the simple question I asked or explain how it is possible to believe in both theories / beliefs.
Well-informed Catholics do not see conflict between their religious beliefs and the Darwinian theory of biological evolution. In 1996, Pope John Paul II stated that the conclusions reached by scientific disciplines cannot be in contradiction with divine Revelation, then proceeded to accept the scientific conclusion that evolution is a well-established theory.
The Pope went on to point out that science deals with material reality, while questions of "moral conscience, freedom, or … of aesthetic and religious experience, fall within the competence of philosophical analysis and reflection, while theology brings out [their] ultimate meaning according to the Creator's plans."
For more than a decade, I have taught the theory of evolution to freshmen. During the early part of the course students come to me, year after year, to express their reservations based on their perceived contradiction between Christian beliefs and the theory of evolution. I treat these students with the great respect they deserve, but respond to them with two considerations very similar to the points made by John Paul II. One is that the evolution of organisms is beyond reasonable doubt, so that the theory of evolution is accepted in this respect with the same certainty that we attribute to Copernicus's heliocentric theory or the molecular composition of matter. The second consideration is that science is a very successful way of knowing, but not the only way. We acquire knowledge in many other ways, such as through literature, the arts, philosophical reflection, and religious experience. A scientific view of the world is hopelessly incomplete. Science seeks material explanations for material processes, but it has nothing definitive to say about realities beyond its scope. Once science has had its say, there remain questions of value, purpose, and meaning that are forever beyond science's domain, but belong in the realm of philosophical reflection and religious experience.
If the point is taken that it's disproved, and that it was a man's sperm that impregnated her... then we'd be in a totally different situation.
I feel that I have, but if you want a more informed opinion from a scientific
Nice ninja edit
At present then I'm an id opps.. "fool".
Ooooh no, you will be perceived as a nasty person doomed to eternal stoking of the boilers in hellMaybe I should make my own sign instead:
'Anyone that believes in God is a fool'.
Surely thats fine isnt it, if theists can say the same thing about atheists?
No you havnt, you never did, and you failed at comprehending that I want YOU to answer the question, and not your ignorant lolreligion links.
