Can you explain?

you can prove the theory of evolution...

but you can't prove if God exists or not, it's a matter of faith...poor Dawkins doesn't understand that

But why have faith in a invisible product which has no evidence for its existence?

I love how when people watch beautiful nature, or nature programs and say "Its amazing how god works" Yes, but you then read about 1 in 3 will get a form of cancer, then you ask "where is you god now", god can't be all the good things that happen.

In history, when man didn't have a understanding of certain things, they called it "God"...We have come a long way sense then. 2000-1000years ago god was everything, because man knew nothing about the natural world. There is a big gap in years between religon and science. That is why there is no Science in the bible.

monophysitism is a real ghastly thing. I could understand why someone would imagine each thing that grows, the sky, the mountains Etc..etc... has its their own god, because its a beautiful way of thinking, like the Greek's believed. They also believe that gods were unkind, envyus, and mostly deeply unpleasent.

Can I ask. Not being funny, not trying to bait you or anything, but have you read it?

should I? I haven't read the Sanatic Bible either sometimes a brief summary and/or the "conclusions chapter" is all you need, specially if the book is bullshit...

[Edited 10/15/10 5:28am]

Well yes, you should really. If you're publicly bashing a book that you haven't even read, it does kinda make you look like a bit of a mental, to be honest.

I said I read a brief summary, and the book's conclusions...

Read more than a "Brief Summary", maybe your have a different opinion.

See, with most Atheists, they have read the bible, gone to bible studies or even Sunday school, that's why we are allowed to voice our OWN opinions...

Doesn't say much for understanding if you are ignorant of how or why someone reached their conclusions.

as I've said, the book is bullshit because it tries to prove something that cannot be proven

If you like to read junk, good for you, but don't force me to do the same

I'm battling against three (or four?) Dawkins's children...adorable, really

They were right. But they meant your own.

Right, I'm done for the weekend, so I'm off.

Thank you to Joe, Lune, Zombiekitten, Andy and everyone else involved for making this the craziest, funnest, most enjoyable thread I've had the pleasure of posting in for a long time. Have a good 'un

How can any of us force you to do anything for one? And two, I've never read it myself. Dawkins did not invent the idea. He's not the Prime Atheist.

Bria is actually the Master's third regeneration who collects sand dollars on Thoros Beta in an insidious plan to conquer the universe and destroy the Doctor!

I think youre thinking of science where you round up with a conclusion? as in method, conclusion?

the most important part of a book is the entire book, you need to read it all to understand it. the synopsis wont help you either, thats only there to get your interest.

the most important part of an essay is also not the conclusion that is merely a summation of your work.

Did you read all of Jmonkeys original post? or just the final conclusion? if you read it all you may find you reach a different conclusion to him even though you have read the same research/quotations.

hence people have differing interpretations on the bible.

To deride an author without reading their work is the same thought process as the fatwa brought upon Salman Rushdi for writing The Satanic Verses.

the bible is a matter of faith; for the atheists it can be considered as bullshit, yeah

Dawkins's book is bullshit because it tries to prove something that cannot be proven...

I think that you can't accept that too painful for you I guess...your favourite 00s book is bullshit, a waste of time, poor lad...

In that respect doesn't your book of choice, try and prove something it cannot?

I would also like to add that it's not my favourite book of the 00s. History books and religious book I also like : God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, A history of God: The 4,000-year quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and The Mysteries of Mithras: The Pagan Belief That Shaped the Christian World

My favourite book of 00's is of course : The World Of Karl Pilkington!

I don´t believe in all that biblical stuff that the OP posted nor do I understand any of it, I have only skimmed through it but I must say, I love the word "fornication". Reminds me of tasty Italian dishes baked in the oven ("forno"), like lasagna.

It also reminds me of Iron Mike Tyson....Kid Dynamite.

Fornication!

OMG, thanks for reminding me to go look for more episodes of the 'An Idiot Abroad' documentary! I only saw the first one so far and loved it.
