<p>^ You can’t prove that’s not true either. So no attacking! Be nice!</p>
<p>^^^ What is fact? The probability of god existing is sufficient to justify acting on the assumption that he does exist. I could be wrong. The whole of human reasoning consists of looking at the world and trying to determine what is most likely to be true. The gap between probable and certain is called faith.</p>
<p>I do deny evolution. But that is for more scientific than religious reasons.</p>
<p>What about them? What about schools that aren’t capable of dealing with that? We live in a flawed world.</p>
<p>I grant some weight to the “kids will have sex” argument. However, I don’t think it is really sensible. It’s like saying, “kids will drink and drive, so we’d better see that they at least have well-maintained cars.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Flawed=imperfect, not flawed=worthless. But you can’t say i’m agreeing with you as you’ve only went after my examples, not my insistence on security in a relationship which I find the important part.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Wish you’d at least mock the parts of my worldview that have a reason to be mocked.</p>
<p>^To me, if you can’t prove anything it doesn’t exist. </p>
<p>My dad is different however. He believes if you can’t disprove something then it does exist.
We’ve had this conversation before, and its lead to extreme ridiculousness…</p>
<p>Why are you allowed to denounce God as nonexistent when you can’t prove it.</p>
<p>And the conversation probably led to extreme ridiculousness because it’s ridiculous to argue anything in the first place without proof of anything. Although in some cases common sense just applies and there’s no need for proof.</p>
<p>But is the existence of God common sense? Not in this case.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lolwut. lolololol</p>
<p>explain.</p>
<p>^ WOAH! Never heard that one before!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, both are pretty idiotic views.</p>
<p>@John I’m not you or your dad. I say nothing in the real world can be proven. Things can only be found to be more or less probable. Science supports me here.</p>
<p>
You can’t prove or disprove the existence of God. It’s untestable which is why science and religion should stay separate.</p>
<p>
Same reaction as meadow…</p>
<p>
How about both then? Both schools and parents should teach their children about safe sex, driving, drinking, whatever.</p>
<p>
So clearly, God’s existence is not a fact. And can science support your view on evolution?</p>
<p>^^NOTHING can be proven? </p>
<p>If I was in front of you holding two apples in my hand, how would you disprove that I had two apples?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s a whole 'nother thread’s worth. And I could still be wrong.</p>
<p>But short version: I’m unsatisfied with the evidence for evolution, and highly suspicious of the unwillingness of evolutionists to debate their view.</p>
<p>3 sided threads like this are far too complicated. I hate when X attacks Y for disagreeing with Z when X disagrees with Z as well.</p>
<p>Let’s make this simpler: the view that absolute morality exists without some higher power is silly. The idea that individual morality is any different from amorality is silly.</p>
<p>Carry on.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>He didn’t say that you can disprove it. In fact, as disproof is a form of proof, I believe he specifically said that he can’t disprove it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I couldn’t. Nor could you prove it. But we would both be willing to ignore whatever ridiculously small chance their was that we were dreaming/in The Matrix/insane.</p>
<p>How’s the thread getting three sided like that?</p>
<p>^ Yes he can prove it… he’s holding two apples. …wutjusthappened?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because an apple is nonexistent, it is a signifier that is agreed to be the subjective meaning to the two objects you hold in your hands which are the resultant signifieds. The matter exists but the name does not.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hmm okay. Interesting. Even some of my really hardcore Christian friends do believe evolution occurs, due to immense evidence. You could post a few of your reasons though?</p>
<p>Maybe I’ll create a thread on that later then. Don’t have too much time to debate that atm, due to APs. -_-.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s reasonable. From my point of view, all schools are is parents delegating their duties to a society they are part of.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why is marriage necessary to indicate security? I’ll answer: it’s not.</p>
