An Uninformed Question

A cynical atheist asked the presumably rhetorical question, "And God created humans with an appendix because.....?"

The reason for the question is the old and misguided thought that evolutions have that the appendix is vestigial, and that therefore just one more proof that evolution is true. In Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859) and in his later works, he referred to several "vestiges" in human anatomy that were left over from the course of evolution. These vestigial organs, Darwin

More Scientists Who Believe the Unscientific "Nothing Created Everything."

"If symmetry is perfect on a cosmic scale, the total amount of energy in the universe is actually zero. Does this mean that nothing caused the universe? If our universe is an absolute zero, absolutely nothing seems required to cause it! Is our universe such an ultimate absolute accident? Is it nothing that was caused by nothing for no reason at all? Extreme Big Accident Cosmology answers affirmatively. This cosmology is advocated by Quantum Cosmologists like Edward P. Tryon, Peter Atkins, A. Vil

The "Forming" of the Universe

"Atheists do not believe the Universe is a 'creation' in the sense you use the word. Thus they cannot believe it was 'created.' Most of those answering, such as myself, just think the Universe was formed due to natural causes. Natural causes, properties, phenomena, are not a creator." G. E. (Get Education).

I can understand why atheists do not believe that the universe was "created," or even that it's a "creation." Both those words speak of a Creator, so you need to find another word that doesn't

Modern Science

A recent news item said, "Scientists have detected that New Zealand was moved about 30cm (12 inches) closer to Australia by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in the Tasman Sea last week."

There was another report saying,

" . . . on the west coast of the South Island and a 2-inch tsunami reported in the Tasman Sea to the north of the epicenter, according to the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center."

A whole country moved 12 inches, and a two-inch tsunami. Wow. And people wonder why we lose faith in mode

Dirt is Just Dirt

"Ray, I assume you must be a bit shell-shocked from your recent debate. I'll let it slide that the bulk of elements which comprise the human body are primarily found in the air, not the soil (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen). But Ray, are you honestly affirming the case that all the ingredients to produce life were present on Earth before life existed?" Prester John

Definitely not. Dirt is just dirt. It has no life at all. The life came from the source of all life--God: "And the Lord God formed man

God Made Man From Soil...are You Kidding?

It was eminent scientist, Stephen Hawking, who said, "There have been various ideas, but for me the most attractive is that the universe was spontaneously created out of absolutely nothing." So it's not too difficult to take that a step further and believe that it was God who spontaneously created the heavens and the earth.

But the Book of Genesis goes on to tell us that God then made man from the soil of the earth. Such a thought seems a scientific impossibility. However, according to Yale uni

Debate with Thunderfoot

"Thunderfoot, the brilliant and creative genius behind the 'Why do people laugh at creationists' video series on youtube has extended an invitation to Ray Comfort for a debate. Thunderfoot has the most popularly subscribed to Atheist channel on youtube with 54,000 subscribers where Comfort's Way of the Master channel draws only 9,000."

This morning we filmed the debate. I was both impressed by his intellect, and by the fact that he was such a nice guy.For Evangelism Resources, please visit Living

"The Sky is Definitely Blue."

"There probably isn't a God. I'd never be stupid enough to commit myself 100% to the statement that 'THERE DEFIANTLY IS NO GOD!' because I don't know it for a fact. It's summer here in the UK, so I can look out my window and say, for a fact "the sky definitely is blue." You could say that to a color blind person that the sky isn't blue, but you'd be wrong because the color blind person has a vision deficiency causing them to see incorrectly." Andy Duchemin

I appreciate the fact that you have illu

Did God "Murder" His Son?

"Sorry Ray, I do not take my morals from a God who drowns opposing armies in the ocean, killed every living thing on Earth in a global flood, punished humanity for all time for eating a piece of fruit, rained fire and brimstone on entire cities because he didn't like their behavior, killed the first born of an entire nation, and murdered his own son. Thank God he does not exist." askegg

It seems that you don't know your Bible. God didn't "kill every living thing on earth in a global flood." He al
