Any Young-Earth Creationists?

Bender is the only god I'll follow. He made his own religion, with blackjack. And hookers! In fact, forget the religion.

rham want some spice bro?

[Rhambuk]

nah clean now but thanks.

funny story the company i worked for, the one with mentally disabled adults, is all about allowing them to do what they want because its their right, so one of them was into spice but he couldnt afford it one day. He went to walmart and bought spice off the shelf like literally oregano and smoked it. Couldn't stop him it was his right.

i lost my shit

I'm a creationist but not a young earth one. In fact I don't see why anyone would be since the Bible never once mentions the age of the Earth and the ridiculous amount of evidence which blatantly suggests the earth is clearly very old. It's pretty obvious that the Universe is a creation since things don't just create themselves. It's a proven impossibility that something as advanced as DNA could form naturally. It is in fact so advanced that the only logical conclusion for its existence is that it is the creation of a being with intelligence beyond measure.

thats fine, just keep it out of public schools.

DNA is a self organizing system and self organizing systems occur naturally without any kind of design. Just because something can't be readily explained, it doesn't make it logical to conclude that the only explaination is magic.

Why would you want to keep the truth of reality out of public schools? So basically you support the dumbing down of people?

because I don't want to see my tax dollars wasted on teaching kids nonsense?

[Rhambuk]

well I'll be "god" damned to just sit by and watch teachers lie to my kids.

and that our existence is ultimately meaningless is selling ourselves short imo.

It bothers me deeply that you need an arguably malevolent, neurotic God to give your life meaning. Any God at all really.

If God created the physical universe then that means he is not a physical being himself and therefor isn't subject to the rules of the universe. Everything within the universe including the universe itself has a beginning and an end and as such, is a finite creation. God represents the infinite, the eternal, no beginning nor end. It's not a cop out at all, just logic really. Something had to of always existed otherwise there would only be nothing. We know this something isn't the universe because we know the universe had a beginning just like our planet and our sun had a beginning.

You're not arguing logically. You can't just say "god isn't bound by these rules because he is god", that IS a cop out and it has no place in logical discourse. You're essentially making an argument and then elevating your own position above everything else so it can't be questioned.
