Fish Tank

Still leads to God deciding who lives and who dies. By answering prayers that deal with life and death.

You are running into a historical phallacy. Along human history, women tended to spend a good deal of their lives through a pregnancy. They had an incomparably higher number of children than we do now. But by then there was a huge infant death rate, so the average human population remained very sta...

Fish Tank

Refer to my second question. Perhaps my first example wasn't a good one. Because the questions people ask God are far more serious than what you might ask a teacher.

Fish Tank

I never said there weren't reasons to live. I said there is no purpose to life. And I never said life was a mistake because death occurs. Death is not a mistake for the reason I stated; it is inevitable. It's a way for new life to flourish. Enjoying life is a reason to live. Getting married, having ...

Fish Tank

I've not been following the entire argument, but I can say that yes, I have done this.

How about if someone is dying and pleading for their life? And you could do something.

Fish Tank

Now we just put them in the ground and hope for money. Ahhh culture.

Fish Tank

If determinism was so easily dismissed it wouldn't be a philosophical ideal. There is no purpose of life. You are born then you die. What ever you do in the middle serves no purpose. What purpose does a dog serve? None other than to ensure the future of more dogs. It isn't a mistake if it is already...

Fish Tank

If someone asks you a direct question, whether or not you can answer, do you just sit there and stare off into space?

Fish Tank

No it means that just because you think you've gotten an answer doesn't mean you have.

Fish Tank

I wish I was.

Fish Tank

I'm suggesting that no answer does not mean "no" but rather that no one is listening. So what if the answer is "yes"? You can not argue the hearing of a yes, although you may argue its source. Either way, I have heard "yes" before, so that rules out your suggestion tha...

Fish Tank

Um. Little tip, bud - every species "has the capacity" to engage in cannibalism. A monkey will eat another monkey if the occasion arises. A wolf will eat a fellow wolf if it is lame or part of a rival pack, etc etc. Plants will parasite and usurp other plants. Et cetera ad infinitum. Just...

Fish Tank

If god knows everything and all that will happen and has happened. He surely knows our entire lives. If he is all powerful, he can change any part of our life that he wants. He can influence decisions and change minds. Personally I see God exercising his power more than Christians think he does. God...

Fish Tank

I have compassion for humans, not humanity. The majority of people I have met do not deserve compassion. Never said commit suicide. But wouldn't it be nice if people only had the number of children they could support? Or only bought food they were actually going to eat? Or not build gigantic houses ...

Fish Tank

Well, it DOES help humanity. It DOES serve as motivation for a LOT of people. That's not really up for debate... The only question is, could it be replaced by something else? Probably, but why? There's nothing wrong with technology. Something that doesn't grow isn't alive. And if humanity doesn't g...

Fish Tank

If I'm not mistaken, that pretty much guarantees the extinction of our species within a thousand years. The minute we fall into chaos (it's happened repeatedly, it'll happen again) and lose the technology to inseminate, we are screwed completely. Sorry...but...no. That's not such a bad thing for th...

Fish Tank

shoe size?

Yes I am bored.

Mine's 13.

Fish Tank

Why do they make left handed can openers??

Fish Tank

can-opener.

Fish Tank

Yes yes we went over this lol I was wrong. Thanks for rubbing it in

Fish Tank

Thanks for the confidence boost.

Fish Tank

I'm suggesting that no answer does not mean "no" but rather that no one is listening.

Fish Tank

I spy on you.

Fish Tank

So when I ask my cat for a new car and he doesn't say yes he is saying no? No doubt for my greater good, eh?

Fish Tank

Lefties are just righties who use the wrong hand.

Fish Tank

Yeah.

Fish Tank

We euthanized about 3 million cats last year. And we will euthanize about 3 million more this year. That's not exactly, "getting along with" when we decide which cats will live and which will die. More like we control the domestic cat population. lol oh no FG I am not claiming I could. I d...

Fish Tank

Yeowza lots of response. To VN: Yeah dairy = lactic acid which is supposedly bad after workouts. But protein bars and shakes are bleh. Maybe fruit smoothies? What type of sports drinks? Like gatorade? I eat as normally as a vegetarian does lol. Any take on soy products? I'll look into the gel, do yo...

Fish Tank

Ahh firegirl wouldn't it still be natural selection if I am doing the selecting? My actions and ideas are natural according to most of you who posted. Therefore wouldn't selective breeding be natural because a human thought of the idea and acted upon it?

Fish Tank

We need a reduced population in order to restore natural habitat. If we don't reduce it the population will continue to increase. Thus causing more natural habitat to decrease. What would be the point in trying to restore a species and a habitat that is probably going to be destroyed in 20 years? Th...

Fish Tank

Wow, Fish Tank your version of population control really sounds suspiciously like China's version of population control only worse. There are many problems associated with it. First is requiring everyone to take a birth control agent in the water or food, the problem with that is not every woman ca...

Fish Tank

Yeah I can convince several billion people to never have children and selectively pick the ones who are able to. I'm on it. So how about it guys? I'll start here. Don't you want to make this planet a better place? h_k you and Firegirl can have 2 kids the rest of you can't have any. Humans are natura...

:lol: Back to the Future is now the authority on the theoretical effects of time travel? Hahahaha. Heh heh. I believe we have free will. And even if we don't, we still have to act like we do. So there's no point in getting all fussed about it. That was a joke. Since you know... time travel doesn't ...

1. Turn off your computer. Get rid of it. (Preferably give it to someone with fewer scruples than you.) 2. Cut up your debit card. And your credit card. 3. Sell all of your CDs and DVDs. They are a horrible waste of fossil fuels. 4. Refuse to travel by any motorised vehicles. 5. Ditch the running s...

If we're not at War with Iraq why did we execute Saddam? He wasn't a terrorist. He was a dictator of his country. A dictator is allowed to murder his people. He's a dictator... We didn't execute Saddam. Iraq did...we turned him over to them, they chose to kill him. Just because Iraqis tied the noos...
