Do I really have to believe in creationism to believe in infinity? Do I really think that my puny mind can grasp infinity? (or whether emans puny mind can?) I know research scientists who do not consider their finding answers to be mutually exclusive with there always being another question presented with each answer.

...and none of that should be taken as a belief in God, at least not the kind discussed in most churches...the one created in man's image, the heavenly father. Someone failed to inform them that it is "heavenly mother" anyway.

Speaking of puny minds, the relationship between fundies and the natural world seems quite unnatural to me. They circumvent man's innate curiosity and longing to chase cause and effect wherever it might lead. They erect walls and barriers to free thought and force them on followers who have ebdicated their free thought. When you start doing that you end up with ridiculous shit like the Christians were the first people and existed around the time of dinosaurs.


Furthermore, why do these wingnuts believe that science repudiates belief in God anyway? Because it proves some oftheir stories true and upsets the littlle apple cart that their religious leaders have used to keep the members in the fold...the mental cages that are needed to perpetuate their leadership.

They always seek short-cuts in their explanations. We are awash in nature and if you believe in God then you need to at least consider, as many religious do, that God works in mysterious ways and there is nothing taboo about science that seeks to understand those ways and actually leverage them for the good of man. If God had not intended for us to do so then he would not have given us brains, right? There is always the chance that not acknowledging this by leaving science completely out of their explanations of the world will come back to bit fundies in the ass. This is what willful ignorance will do.

Sometimes creationists seem barely one level above fire worshipping savages with bones through noses.
There is so much devilry in there it is hard to know where to begin. I will highlight the highlights in BOLD.

What's wrong with the bone in my nose? I cook with fire I do not worship it. And my infinite density HAS been called savage before. I use science and logic in many if not most of my posts on God and the nature of existence and the universe. Why do you ignore that? I assure you I am in no mental cage. My intellect is free to roam whether the facts lead it. Science verifies God's existence in countless ways.

Every village needs an idiot, and I mean that in a nice, benevolent way, the same way I try to be nice to the homeless. However, he has a lot of posts though I suspect most are one-liners.

I realize I have distracted him and now there will be more from him to attend to. When I was a kid we had a beagle like that. It would stray from home, get interested in something and forget where it was, then grow bored and see something else that enticed it to stray a liittle further away. By the time it got hungry it had meandered so far away that it forgot how to get back. I think that damn dog had add.

Or it could be like someone without much to do who hangs on a streetcorner and shouts out things to others hoping to get some response.

I dunno really. I just met eman the other day in a rather awkward introduction in which he demanded "bonafides". I got a chuckle out of it. I thinks its a ways back in this thread.

He does have a ways with people, doesn't he?

Ahh. A new critic. Beagles are great hunting dogs by the way so comparing Eman to one is quite a great compliment. Thank you.

Many have sought to analyze Eman and many have failed. For describing my superheroness is usually buried within the inner fear of their jealousy of Eman.

The paparazzi wish THEY could be the talent, much as you wish that YOU could be the Eman. Watching me will not give you talent. You must work at it.

When I played one of your videos for my sister—who, BTW, is a classically trained vocalist—she broke into hysterics before the end of the first bar. By the end of the second bar, she begged me to stop the video.

The Beatles had that same effect on women. Nothing unusual there.

No, she just didn't want to pee herself from laughing so hard. Unlike you, The Beatles played and sang in tune.

You are simply jealous of Eman. Where is your video? Doesn't exist because you are a paparazzi critic.
