Is there a god?

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

There is one god, the Christian god.

There might be a god, and I'm leaning that way as I get closer to death.

There probably isn't a god, but if I see proof, I'll change my opinion.

The first and therefore most important step in the theory of evolution by the way...

Try as they might, scientists have never been able to create "life in the lab" as they call it.

This is a scientific fact.
Sooo, because scientists can't figure out how life started it's therefore "scientifically impossible"?

Is this really your rationale?
Yes, that's my rationale, in fact that is the very definition of "scientifically impossible". Image

Abiogenesis is impossible according to our science = Abiogenesis is "scientifically impossible".

Can't travel faster than the speed of light, can't build a perpetual motion machine, can't evolve in a closed system (2nd Law)

... and can't have life coming from nonlife. :mex:

Evolution scientists presently control our scientific theories and abiogenesis is a subject they avoid at all costs.

(for obvious reasons)

If you want to know what dissenting scientists have to say, you have to go to places like this:

https://www.icr.org/article/impossibili ... beginnings

That is just one of dozens (hundreds?) of articles they have on the subject of abiogenesis.

Search their site for answers on other scientific topics if you dare.

Or you can just admit you already know God exists and we can move on from this charade...

I read your article.

As Per already stated, "you cannot prove the general non-existence of something.".

E.g.: you can't prove the non-existence of an evolutionary process that creates life from basic molecules.

Just because these creation scientists can't figure it out doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Basic logic.

Right, technically "life from nonlife" cannot be proven or disproven.

And technically "the existence of God" cannot be proven or disproven.

But we all inherently know the truth.

I, for one, have made my peace with God, and I advise you to do the same.

Absolutely not, the statement is accurate all day long buddy!

Technically it also can't be proven whether or not a perpetual motion machine can be built.

But it is impossible for our scientists to build one.

Just as it is impossible for our scientists to create life from nonlife.

If something can't be done by our science, well dat dere is scientifically impossible.

(nothing is impossible for God though)

Now tell me, which do you prefer my friend, a game of semantics or a game of God-doesn't-exist?

Cuz, y'know... God... can create life from nonlife.

How do we know that?

Look around you.

He also built a perpetual motion machine and can travel faster than the speed of light.

And He can defy all the laws of physics, cuz hey, He created them.

He created this world... and the next.

I love science, but I would never put my faith in science.

I choose to put my faith in the Creator of science.

Plus, trust me, He's a great, great Guy...

The "life spark" in organic chemistry isn't ruled out as an impossibility and is avoided on bio-ethical grounds. But maybe you'd like to renew eugenics while you are at it.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

This may be true, but if our scientists can't do it, it is "scientifically impossible".

It shows ethics in science is followed more stridently than the Biblical Ten Commandments

Perhaps that used to be true, but alas, ethics in science went out the window a long time ago.

Devolution.

If Doc can't get it up for the wife, he exclaims "it's scientifically impossible dear!".

In actuality he just spends too much time polishing his schtick :lol:

So if there was Devine intervention, THE absolute most likely scenario is life from another galaxy was misunderstood to be some sort of holy spirit when in fact... it was probably one of the grey alien species and their giant mother fuckin motherships

Heaven is the mothership Doc

There's only enough room for those who give up their buttholes for probing freely
