Your dishonesty knows no bounds.

Guess you better use 'The Force' to get around it......​

Lord Herbert of Cherbury (1583–1648) is generally considered the "father of English Deism," and his book De Veritate (1624) the first major statement of deism. Deism flourished in England between 1690 and 1740, at which time Matthew Tindal's Christianity as Old as the Creation (1730), also called "The Deist's Bible", gained much attention. Later deism spread to France, notably through the work of Voltaire, to Germany, and to America.

We very well might, but no other species can teach its own history to future generations. Your dog doesn't know anything about its parents, but we know what happened on this planet thousands of years ago. Only humans.

Breh in my other thread these nikkaz was really tryna argue that there was no difference between dogs and humans, both are equally self aware :mjlol:

Deistic thinking has existed since ancient times.

Although the term "pantheism" did not exist before the 17th century, various pre-Christian religions and philosophies can be regarded as pantheistic. Pantheism is similar to the ancient Hindu philosophy of Advaita (non-dualism) to the extent that the 19th-century German Sanskritist Theodore Goldstücker remarked that Spinoza's thought was "... a western system of philosophy which occupies a foremost rank amongst the philosophies of all nations and ages, and which is so exact a representation of the ideas of the Vedanta, that we might have suspected its founder to have borrowed the fundamental principles of his system from the Hindus."

Be ignorant brehs. Aristotle was a deist so he must have traveled forward in time so he could espouse Christianity-lite.

What a dumbass.

This WSJ article also makes the claim for multiple gods, simulation theory, Jainism, pantheism, hinduism (which is atheistic in some ways).

But the abrahamic religions take it to mean their god, and only their god, exists.

What a joke.

Don't twist the meaning of the article breh, it simply states it's unlikely the world was created by accident, it doesn't state that Buddha is God :snoop:

1) The person who posted it is a Christian whose only posts on here are to further his religion.

2) Our resident incognito Christian Pastor, Dafunkdoc, said that this article furthers the claim of only one god ever described that can fit this mold.

What I did was point out that Christians are doing what they always do, they piggy back.

This article makes just as much a claim for simulation theory, multi-verse theory, Jainism, Hinduism, pantheist, paganism, deism, and the list can keep going. I was countering the blatant proselytizing. That's all.

Be mad I know YOUR theological stance better than you do. 'Deistic THINKING' =/= 'deist' anymore than thinking about murder makes one a murderer......

Your logic is flawed and retarded. Use 'The Force' more accurately.​

1) Using OP's personal beliefs to discredit the article is a fallacy, argue about what the article states breh, which in regards to the odds of us being here is factually correct.

2) @Dafunkdoc_Unlimited is far from a Christian Pastor

3) What do Christians have to do with the article. An argument for ID/Designer /= argument for Christian God, but let's say it was for the sake of argument, how does that discredit all the facts in the article?

4) Why don't we ever talk about how it's more logical to believe in God than in evolution, it's more statistically more probable that God exists than that evolution is true, that's the irony of atheists/evolutionists, they talk as if they are arguing from some base of scientific knowledge when their dogma is no different than any other religion

Its a simple question.

You claim its designed, so what does a lack of design look like?

What does a lack of a car look like? lack of hospitality? lack of courage? What is it with you guys and these irrelevant questions? :snoop: What do these red herrings and philosophical panderings have to do with the statistical probability of ID being real?

it doesn't say anything is unlikely because it doesn't understand what its saying

its an opinion article by someone who doesn't know WTF they're talking about.

Ans since, they know the odds, what does that even mean?

The shyt happened, so that doesn't mean it was impossible.
