I don't understand why you still bother replying to him.

That said, I fully agree with everything you just said. His rationale is pretty much a scientific "Haters gonna hate" - The bad kind, where people use it as an excuse to not listen to any criticism of themselves in any way because they brand everyone who disagrees with them a faceless "hater".

I wasn't aware of that, actually. And thanks mate

You obviously need the love of Jesus. Jesus gives the best BJs.

The Mayans also had that knowlege.

I feel inclined to point out the Egyptians couldn't have had a model exactly like ours, in fact it would have been largely incomplete. I'm an amateur Astronomer so I know some about this. Neptune, Pluto, Cheron, and Eris are not visible without a telescope. And good luck finding Uranus without knowing EXACTLY what to look for, and where, because it looks exactly like a very faint star. Saying the other planets were known and modeled is hardly noteworthy, because even young children notice the motion of the other planets if they look up enough.

I think earlier arguments about knowledge always being proven wrong is valid mostly in regards to things like.. motion, time dilation(So me an ancient society with that knowledge and I'll be impressed), quantum physics, et cetera.. The Ancients had little or no functional knowledge of these things, and their explanations for the natural order of things proved to be wrong.(Spontaneous generation and things along those lines).

No. I'm not saying everyone that the scientific community discredits is wrong, but saying that looking at the laughing stock of communities is DEFINITELY NOT a good way to find the future of fact. For example:

I could attempt to publish a paper detailing how a nudist pixie colony exists on my desk, and that they are in fact, the pixies that created the universe, because they travel backwards in time instead of forwards! They're invisible in all forms of the electromagnetic spectrum, have near-zero mass ( 10^-31 kg), and only chose to make the truth known to me because of my remarkable ability to SEE them. If I tried to publish that kind of paper, I'd get laughed out. And for good reason.

and on the subject of this "First of the planets were lined up you can go on Google Sky and punch in that date."

Planets never all line up. Ever. Not in the lifetime of the universe at least. Sometimes a couple of them do, but its nothing of consequence.

Face,

I wanted to come in here and say that I must have been completely wrong in everything I had to say to you about God and Evolution. The person I love the most looked over everything very carefully and she concluded that she was on your side of the argument. So if the person who has my very soul in the palm of her hands is against me then I must be very wrong in my stance and in how I treated you.
I sincerely apologize for my statements and my aggressive reaction toward you sir. Because I was obviously wrong. The sleepyjenkins crack and the 'you need to read up on the basics' were all valid comments by you.
I don't have the background in biology/evolution to make statements and I should not until I educate myself on these matters. Which I will do.
I *was* trying to have a sincere conversation with Tuna on how I felt about God.
I guess all I should say is I'm sorry for arguing with you and I should have not because you are clearly much more advanced and intelligent than I am.
Thank you for all the correct information you had to share versus my very incorrect statements.

I won't make this mistake again.

EDIT: Be careful what you say on the internet. I took a stance on creationism because I knew no one else would. I reacted badly to a member that was calling me names and being very confrontational.

You never know how your words haunt you, even ones on the internet that you think no one sees. Protect yourself and be careful about posting your thoughts. We like to believe that we live in a free world where we can say and think and express anything we want.

But we don't. This conversation has caused me more pain and suffering than I can ever express. And all I was trying to do was lend a helping hand.

Please be careful what you post.

Face · 01-22-2013, 06:58 PM

I...just looked back....I didn't realise I called you sleepyjenkins instead of slappy, I thought that was your name.

That's such a sincere apology for the internet it even set off my sarcasm alarm, but I'll ignore it (the alarm that is). Don't worry I didn't take anything personally and I did find your views on God and spirituality well thought out. I'd just read up a bit more on evolution is all, nothing to do with intelligence.

Anyway, you sound like a lucky guy to have someone devoted enough to read through a whole thread for you, AND intelligent (ha!) enough to agree with me!

Hang on to that one!
