Who Made God?

No, it's only the ToE, and all of those sciences could do their work without it, although they act as if they couldn't because it's so taken for granted. And I don't dispute anything you said about mutations and genetics, just what they do and what they mean.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

It is absolutely not. Those other sciences prove that the earth is old and have nothing to do with the biology or the ToE. Or have you suddenly become an old-earther? And that's exactly what they do. Yes, old earth and universe is totally settled science, only religious nutters dispute it. Totally without evidence of course. Which, of course, covers pretty much everything.

The jury is still out regarding this myth. Even atheists must admit that there is a good probability that the social media driven information age, coupled with the historical tendency of autocratic dictators to use technology to attempt to enslave a persecuted group makes for the liklihood of a conflict globally approaching the size and scope of a World War.

All your juries are always out Phat; have you not noticed? Oh terrific, now you've gone all armageddon on us. Why do you religious weirdos always do that? And what's atheism got to do with anything.You're getting worse but you're enjoying the trip aren't you?

All I am asserting is that a World War is likely. I never mentioned the end of the world. And I am pointing out that even someone with your rational level of thinking could spot the high possibility.

I don't think so. Maybe the Crazy Old Orange Draft-dodger would try to get America into obliterating parts of Iran, but I don't think a lot of countries will join in. Iran won't win the war, but America would get a bloody nose in the process. Not even Putin or The Kim-Number-Un would be crazy enough to follow that Orange Thing into such a war.Edited by Pressie, : No reason given.

You mean a War with the US being opposed by Every Other Nation on Earth?That is certainly a possibility.How do you think that would end for the US?AbE:Phat, what other nations have nuclear stockpiles?Phat, what is the most likely delivery method for a nuclear device?Phat, are there other threats than nuclear devices?Phat, what are the delivery methods for those other threats?Phat, which is more likely to be a deterrent to Iranian aggression; threatening total destruction or becoming the single largest consumer for Iranian oil?Edited by jar, : see AbE;

I suppose I should have been more specific. Let me rephrase:
Even rationally minded individuals unswayed by religious belief must admit that there is a good probability that the social media driven information age, coupled with the historical tendency of autocratic dictators to use technology to attempt to enslave a persecuted group makes for the likelihood of a conflict globally approaching the size and scope of a World War.

at least 10 major stockpiles...maybe more. Apart from Missiles and bombers, I'm not sure, though the method could be as simple as a rogue drone or even a catapult. depends if the deliverer seeks to live or not. Most certainly. Here is a short list that I can think of: Electromagnetic Pulse attacks, germ warfare, biological warfare, sabotage of key electrical grid components, and the list goes on. I could envision a terrorist with a portable drone dropping anthrax powder on the super bowl through air dispersion. Evil knows no limits except the restraint of the Lord. I pray He never removes His protection from us, but what makes us any more worthy of salvation than any other nation globally? As I mentioned before, drones could carry poisons into reservoirs and over open air crowd events. Apart from that threat, the usual threats are chiefly human carried. (hijacked planes, trucks, and ships )Thus as we get deeper into facial recognition scanning, marks on hands or foreheads being mandatory, and immigration policies, the cost of security and the erosion of privacy will continue. We would do well to make more friends and fewer enemies. It is a bit ironic that the conservative fundamentalist Christians worry about a One World Government when global cooperation may be the solution. Making America Great Again involves success in developing a friendly business partner rather than a militant overlord.Edited by Thugpreacha, : No reason given.

What qualifies you as a Christian?

I was born into a Christian Family, raised as a Christian, Baptized in the Rite of Baptism, Confirmed in the Rite of Confirmation, educated in a Christian School and a registered member of a recognized Christian Denomination.Sorry Charlie; you may not like it but the Fact is that I am a Christian.

The thread title has an obvious answer if we go by anime logic. God was made by Ultra God no Kami Z.

What qualifies you to ask?

quote:

---

Matthew 7:7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

---

i.e. it isn't up to you to decide.If you want a first approximation:

quote:

---

Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

I would thus argue that the main qualifier as to who is and is not a Christian is more than simply claim to belonging to some club. It is by daily works, a philosophical overview incorporating communion between God and Man, and a reasonable understanding of scripture apart from simple deduction that is unshared by the believers-at-large in general. One obvious example: "The snake told the truth". Foolishness!! The snake was by implication a representation of satan and we all know that satan is the father of lies. There is no possible truth emanating from any such crawling creature. Of course you can make an argument otherwise, but what sense does your argument make...apart from suggesting that what is written explains the conclusion? It would make no sense for the villain to be truthful while the hero lies.Edited by Thugpreacha, : No reason given.

I wont go so far as to accuse you of not being a Christian...I would question Dredge every bit as much, in fact...but one obvious question is how anyone could be a Christian who does not believe that Jesus is alive today. You allow your common sense to get in the way and forever ask how such a unscientific fact could exist. Perhaps you feel...according to your club bylaws, no doubt...that Jesus being alive today is unimportant to your particular brand of Christian. Can you elaborate?
