Re: under the right circumstances
In other words it was not a serious question. Do you know any property owned by a "god"?

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: When I Ignore Them They Call Me Out
The story clearly shows it was not his property and the people there were not squatters. But then we don't know the laws of this fantasy Roman world

Re: GDR's Topic synopsis as I see it
Irrelevant to the current conversation.
But as to your comment, what do you mean "fantasy" Roman World?
The Roman World of the bible does not represent the reality of the historical Roman World.

Re: Does God allow genocide or even commit genocide under the right circumstances
violence that he was denouncing and was endemic in that world.
What violence?

Re: candle2, Answer These Simple Questions
Your willful ignorance prevents you from seeing that Nebraska man destroys your argument.
quote:
Although Nebraska Man did not survive long enough to become widely accepted by the scientific community and was quickly forgotten when its true identity was recognized, Hesperopithecus is again being trotted out in the current recrudescence of creationist attacks on evolution. The creationists who belittle mistakes by scientists cannot admit that science advances, in part, by correcting error...
Finally, the issue relates to the fundamentally different values that creationism and science place on error. Creationists are quick to point out error by scientists, and ridicule it. They go on to argue that error and disagreement among specialists are indications that the fabric of science is coming apart, and that it will eventually collapse, with creationism reigning triumphant after Armageddon.
But what creationists ridicule as guesswork, and trial and error, and flip-flopping from theory to theory are the very essence of science, the stuff of science. Error correction is part of the creative element in the advance of science, and when disagreement occurs, it means not that science is in trouble but that errors are being corrected and scientific advances being made. Creationism comes on the scene arguing that the Bible is inerrant as a source of scientific truth and that "creation science" cannot admit of error because it simply does not exist.
We cannot conceive of two more diametrically opposed methods of explaining the world around us. One uses the correction of error as an inherent part of the process of searching for the truth, or ultimate reality in nature; the other rejects error or cannot admit its existence. Although it may be human to make mistakes, it is scientific to correct them. That is the nub of the issue between creationism and science.
The role of Nebraska man in the creation-evolution debate

I take criticism when it is accurate. Your reply was not criticism, it was random bullshit that did not address anything in my post. Time to crawl back under your rock troll.
