Open letter to all Atheists.

Oh I don't know - I sometimes get a little kick out of offending with prayer. I like to think of it as tough love (but really it's just a guilty pleasure).

I've always loved those verses, since I hate praying in public. It always feels like I'm just saying "ditto" to whatever the lead person is praying about.

I haven't noticed that in our church, but I can see how that might happen.The problem I have with group prayer, is I often don't know where they're going with it, so my mind tends to wander a bit. I get all Walter Mitty at some point - until I hear "amen". Then I'm back again.

Fridays are National Darwinian Logical Fallacy Day (NDLFD), where everyone wears a traditional coat made of dino sceathers. So that's out.

I have to agree with that statement. I can foresee a day when John McCain, after finally becoming President sometime after his 120th birthday, decides to invoke Romans 13:1-2, in order to invade the last remaining countries we have yet to occupy.

For evolution to be true, there can be no God - or at the very least He would become a liar. So indirectly, atheism is being taught in public schools, via evolution.

The "days" and "nights" in Genesis clearly rule out evolution, from God's perspective anyways. There would simply not be enough time.If 2 + 2 could ever equal 5, then that might suggest that the laws of logic are in fact evolving. From a purely materialistic point of view, an atheist has to consider that as a possibility. So it follows that an atheist is the one who may one day teach 2 + 2 = 5.Or maybe 2 + 2 = banana. I like that one better.

What part got loopy? The banana? I can concede that.A blue sky is something we can observe just about every day, so she's no more teaching atheism then if she were to proclaim up is up and down is down. Or that true is true and false is false.Jack, on the other hand, in addition to his pink sky with green spots, might also declare that thick-boned, scaled theropods eventually morphed into hallow-boned, avian feathered flying things. But then, we can't observe that like we can the blue sky, so we would then know that Jack don't know Jack.You're not suggesting atheism implies that there is no God, are you? Because that's unknowable from a natural worldview, so that would make atheism a belief system, possibly even a religion.

Does evolution leave room for a supernatural Creator?

No, I'm almost certain that's not what they all believe. There are some Christians who believe in evolution, though I'm not sure how they sell themselves on that.God is not a democracy. The majority does not get to rewrite the books of the Bible.

Good thing I didn't make that foolish choice then.

Absolutely nothing and that's my point. Materialism can only deal in the natural, not the supernatural. Logic, on the other hand, is immaterial. You can't hold it, it has no atomic weight, it hasn't evolved over billions of years - and yet the laws of logic are universal and absolutely nothing can violate them.How can the atheist worldview (which must incorporate evolution) account for the existence of logic?My point is - if atheism/evolution were true, then logic would be constantly changing and evolving. Thus 2 + 2 could one day equal 5.

Sorry, did I miss Dr. Adequate's question somewhere?

I agree with you, on both a: and 2:.My point regarding "atheist/evolution" is that they're both inseparable. I know there are christian evolutionists out there, but you'll probably not find an atheistic creationist any time soon.

In what capacity? Did He create life and then just walk away? That doesn't make sense. A being capable of creating everything, must be more complex than His creation - otherwise He becomes obsolete.In other words, if He is more complex than we are, it's illogical to conclude that He would create us and then fade away into obscurity.There can be only evolution, or a creator, but not both. An evolutionary god repudiates himself.
