    Creation Or Evolution? Vote!

    in Anthos Roleplay Archive

    Posted

    However, I do not believe in the new testament of the bible what so ever, and I do not agree with the majority of the ways the bible is interpreted. I am not a Christian in that respect.

    Personally (As an Atheist) I find the New Testament to actually be a far better piece of reading material then the old testament. Jesus' moral teachings for the most part were wonderful, I'm not 100% why you don't believe in it. By not believing in the New Testament and Jesus Christ you are by definition no longer a christian.

    God created the process of evolution, which made us. Done.

    This neo-christianity, perfectly explains the flaws of religion and it's Creation assertions. Christians are now using science to further explain or rationalize their beliefs by using the popular "Big bang - God did it!, Evolution - God did it!, Earth - God did it" This is of course a null argument that provides not evidence or logic other then making assumptions with nothing to back them up.

    Can you disprove god? No. Can you explain what started the big bang? No. The only 'rational' explanation is a divine being.

    This is so wrong I don't even know where to begin. For one we don't need to DISPROVE god, it is the creationists that need to do the proving. This is the basis of a rational argument, without it, these debates cannot exist. You're right, we do not know for sure what started the big bang, but there are numerous theories that do not require the divine intervention you are suggesting.

    And to finish off, the argument for believing in a god (or a higher power) is an irrational argument, so nothing rational explains gods existence.

    So evolution – just as creation – is only a model used to explain the observations in the world as we know it. It is not a fact, not a natural law, not even a scientific theory, but just a model!

    You're right they are both Models of sort, one a rational model, the other an irrational model. One model has evidence to support it, as do all scientific models, Creationism on the other hand, doesn't have ANY evidence to support it's argument.

    Return Of The Undead & Ascended?

    in News & Announcements Archive

    Posted

    I strongly disagree with the proposal of bringing back the Undead and/or the Ascended. Both served as nothing but a means for people to have dangerous magic that was harmful to RP and the server. It resulted in a lot of no-rp killing and disputes. I agree with Uthors proposal at the beginning of the thread, an evil of some sort could prove useful, just not an evil that has magical abilities and could be deemed unfair or overpowered.
