i get jokes

kthx + izor + other, NONretarded ppl = epic thread

oh i c wut u did there

WITTY!!!!11KKKlollllzzzz

Statements that suggest Man is becoming a God are antagonistic and ultimately stem from the spiritual conflict of anyone who favours science over creationism.
So please if you are going to make threads about scientific "breakthroughs", leave God the fuck out of it.

Coming from a person who does favor science and reason over faith, this is the best post in 4 pages.

lol the irony within the title of this thread is too much.
Anyone familiar with scripture knows it is made clear that Man will use his God-given gift of creativity to replace God's image with himself.

wow catching up on what i thought would be a very entertaining thread has proven to be a large waste of time.

But, then again, that's "Mission Accomplished". I've only got to waste 5 more minutes, then say fuck TW forums for another two days until I'm back at the point where I actually want to read shit like this as a "waste of time" until I can go back to my 2-day cave of solace.

That ignore squad function's starting to sound pretty good right about now.

cosmic inflation also hasnt been 'proven'

[kthx]

Speaking of Cosmic Inflation, when is Obama sending me my free 500 dollar welfare check.

[Lucon]

Edit: Wait, here's an even better explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_inflation

[Izor]

doesnt offer why it exploded either. If everything was sitting there undisturbed wouldnt it tend to stay that way unless something forced it to explode? Again, point is you believe in all this without knowing a couple key facts to it. It defies logic.

[Lucon]

Alright, I'm fed up. The Big Bang theory doesn't say that the Big Bang created the universe, just that a ball of matter as dense and hot as Sophia's derriere exploded at the earliest point in time we can wrap our scientific heads around. Whether Odin, Zoroaster, or Yahweh put it there is anyone's guess, and the theory doesn't try to give any hints. Now shut the hell up.

[Izor]

I wouldn't say that.

Look at history. Fighting and killing, war after war after war. Now we dont even call them wars...just conflicts. Doesnt mean theres less killing going on.



Everyone here is missing my point. You're all defending these theories to the death based on the science that we have today and some dudes best guess as to how things were at the start of time or even more 'recently' when the dinosaurs became extinct. In fact, you take the dumbed down versions of what theyve found that you can understand and swear by it. To me, this is no different than any religion. How many times has the scientific belief of what really caused these things changed over the years? You're telling me right now that the big bang created the universe, but what about 5 years from now? You'll be just as adamant about whatever else makes sense at the time. The reason I brought up dinosaurs is because everyone thought an asteroid killed them up until recently when it was discovered that the crater from the asteroid that was supposed to have done it predated their extinction by 300000 years. Now its on to the next theory on why they became extinct...some volcanic activity in india ruined the global climate LOL. I'd just as easily believe some god smited them. You write off believers as dumb, just because they dont see how all of this adds up. Have you ever once thought that you are the uneducated? The big bang theory is ridiculous. A ball of infinite density just decided to expand and theres our universe. When that can get explained, i'll probably believe it, but until then i truly dont believe in anything. Lee Strobels 'Case for a Creator' may have opened my eyes that science doesnt make a whole lot of sense when you really think about it from a scientific viewpoint, but it doesnt mean that a god exists. I'm simply not ready to accept anything that doesnt make sense

I'm pretty convinced you're the biggest troll on these forums right now. I'm also convinced that you probably didn't get hugged as a child, and most likely got dropped a lot because your mother was a narcoleptic.

Furthermore, I'm going to assume that very day your father would come home from scrubbing toilets at the local catholic church and beat you over the head with a bible while shouting "Jesus is Lord!" Afterwards, you were left to sleep in a corner of the room on a pile of unsold crosses that you were forced to make by hand. In the morning, you would wake up to a rooster's crow on a pile of cold wood with the indents of crosses all over your body. You get dressed, and the only thing you had to wear was WWJD tshirts and cargo shorts. The kids at school hated you and called you a Jesus freak. You had a hard time controlling your bladder so your cargo shorts were always stained with urine. After school, you take the long way to avoid passing by the church because Father O'Malley groped you every Sunday. He made you take off your choir boy robes so he can whip you with his prayer beads while shouting "God created the earth! You are a sinner!" and then subsequently raped you until you had a crooked gait.



i gotta get back to work i'll continue your journey later.

See, it's posts like this that show the well-reasoned, friendly discussion that keeps me coming back to these forums.

Man is an evil race by nature.

I wouldn't say that.

[kthx]

"All technology that can be used as a weapon eventually is used as a weapon. Man is an evil race by nature."

I would say that finding weapons is really one of the reasons we have the technology we do, most things were invented for weapons and then we found other uses for them.

[Exalt]

This thread validates putting Izor and kthx on ignore. After I found out how this forum improved with HtF on ignore, I think this will be a step in the right direction. I probably will add Exalt too. B)

Hey, what did I do? All I did was tell Noah his version of world history toward the Hitler and the Nazi party was false, and corrected him. I mean I do actually study that stuff as my major and all. I know you all are PHDs in every major area of study, but at least the history part Noah was far from it.




As for the RNA DNA thing, I just don't think it will have the impact you all do. It's a step forward, but I don't think humans will ever "create" life without procreating.

I know that scientists can already DNA clone in respect to single cell organisms, like bacteria or viruses, but I don't see it will ever move far beyond that. Most likely the RNA cloning will only help create more germ warfare and things like that, causing more deaths than anything. You are all misguided in thinking that things like that won't be sprung from this. All technology that can be used as a weapon eventually is used as a weapon. Man is an evil race by nature.

In any respect, if "creating" a life and cloning someone or whatever could be possible with RNA, it will be banned and outlawed before its done so. Stem cell research is already banned, along with somatic cell nuclear transfer research (aka dolly the sheep). I think all of you are way too hyped up over something so small as RNA. It might be a huge step forward but its nowhere near as big of a deal as you think it is. Discovering something doesn't mean you can use it properly.
