Intelligent Design Theory: Science or Religion?

Quote:

they are asserting "The existence of a god is an impossibility."

And they are doing it in the cowardly, underhanded way Internet atheists often work...pretending not to be doing it.

Not even a straight forward assertion.

Haven't done an exhaustive search but even their vaunted champion Dawkins couldn't bring himself to say it plainly, certainly not in the excerpt that farmerman quoted.

'Cool' guy turns out to be a Christian

EVERYONE is incredibly surprised to discover a ‘quite cool’ 33-year-old man is a Christian.

Magazine designer Joe Turner regularly confuses people by appearing normal then revealing he believes an ancient supernatural being is controlling the universe.

Co-worker Nikki Hollis said: “Joe dresses fashionably and comes to the pub with us, yet also thinks he’s going to live forever in Heaven with his friend, Jesus.

“I had no idea he was a Christian until one lunchtime he casually told me God loves us and the Bible contains all the information we need to reject the path of sin.

“Then he just ate his tuna baguette.”

Hollis added: “He also seems to have girlfriends like a normal guy, but I thought sex before marriage was wrong. Maybe they’ve changed the rules, which is a bit unfair on all the people who’ve already gone to Hell.”

Turner said: “I’m just an everyday guy who goes to work, watches the footie and believes in the teachings of Middle Eastern prophets from 2,000 years ago.

“For me Christianity is about spiritual growth and being a good person. You’ve got to ignore bits of the Bible or I’d have to give away all my possessions and kill Steve in marketing for being a sodomite.”

You will never see them actually articulate the obvious...that they are saying there is no possibility of a god...because that is a loser and they know it.

That's true but it doesn't explain every example. There should be more examples of careless debaters who stumble and blurt it out. That's a piece of 'the study'.

I ssumed you wouldnt get it?

Youve dispelled all doubts.

"watch the footie" please explain
I love Brit insult names like" I cant decide whether Frank is a pillock or merely a wazzak"

What they're saying is "watch the football."

Translated, that means "watch soccer."

so its "watch football" ? Ok

Im never watching Nazzie! (seef you can translate Merkin)

You want to go over that "impossibility expansion"?
Im sure someone did a similar "impossibility index" to prove that bumblebees cant fly.

I've pointed out a few improbabilities but never impossibilities. I appreciate the irony of you asking though.

A couple of planes in my hangar have been called unflyable so I'm pretty sympathetic to bumblebees' airworthiness.
