Maybe. I don't know the science of it. But supernatural properties could mean anything. He's God. He makes His own rules.

there we have it.

that's why you can't argue with theists.

no matter what amazing argument an atheist can bring up, "God makes his own rules" beats absolutely everything.

Well yea, I shouldn't have even had to say that, as it pretty much speaks for itself. But this was never an argument. We both knew that going in. This was just an exchanging of ideas, with no attempt by either of us to convert the other to our own belief. I don't know what you were expecting.

I'm a theist and I gotta agree with you, he mad the worst argument ever.

Well what would you have said?

Well I agree with your point, it's just worded poorly.

At a certain point I run out of vocabulary.

Heheh

all scientific and philosophical arguments here still relate to religion. so they belong on the religion board

>all scientific and philosophical arguments here still relate to religion

Ya, I am aware that all the arguments here pertain to religion. I would just like to have a board where we can talk about science oriented topics and whatnot rather than religion.
I need variety in my life. I'm a needy person.

Are you implying that having a board that caters to both theists and atheists is confusing? At least there are only two major groups consistently represented. Imagine if we had all the religions repped. Would you want a separate board for all of them as well?

A single board for theology/religion is fine.
All I'm asking for is a science/philosophy board as well.

Any philosophy that subscribes to a deity would be relevant to a religion board. The fact that you want to deviate from that indicates that the determining factor for your philosophies is the lack of a deity. So don't sugarcoat it. You want an atheism board. That's perfectly understandable. I can imagine being overwhelmed by a prevailing notion that we're a Created race of beings. The only problem is, that's not the case. Most of the religion board is, ironically, atheist. At least, it would appear that way. I don't know how many lurkers are theists but those of us who speak on here regularly are severely outnumbered. Aside from Zlamous, Teoberry, and myself, I can't even think of any others off the top of my head. Teoberry's not even that outspoken. So why would you want a separate board when this one is already so close to home for you?

I should be a bit louder. It's just that I don't like all this philosophical shit, I like facts more.

Well facts are hard to nail down when you're talking about these kinds of topics, I'm afraid.

Yeah, which is why I stay with stuff like history and wars of the church.

Lol, well actually I'm Pantheist, not some smelly atheist jk.
I do really enjoy the talks and arguments on this board, but like I said, I would like to see a stricter science board where people could share and discuss technological advances/ideas/theories/snozzberries and all that stuff. I mentioned philosophy because there are a lot of scientific concepts apart from religion that would be discussed, too.

Oh, I understand. Yea I'd check out that board. That would actually be cool. I love tech stuff. I'm not smart enough to understand it but I love learning about it and shit.

lol yep pretty much.

This will be very usefull for this board.

^Zlamous

Lol.
More like this

lol yep pretty much.

This will be very usefull for this board.

Dead or not, it's actually pretty necessary, unlike some of the others.

Eh, pretty pointless besides for telling everyone to watch Breaking Bad I guess. lol

like this one. nah but get rid of pokeman, combine reaction images and gifs, can art, maybe social.

As a former regular of the Pokemon board, I no longer frequent there but from what I can recall that board was fairly active and rather convenient for hosting tournaments and such between hardcore gamers. So I wouldn't be so quick to nix them.

I kind of always thought of it as weird, only time i visited it was when some guy was saying digimon was better. damn that was funny

Digimon was okay. I watched some of it in its early years. But where's that cult following?

Non-existant.

Quite.

Ya, I would be down for something like that, although I wouldn't throw out art myself.
Television is dead enough to toss out, though.

Not all of God's actions are explicable.

Maybe they should add another testament to the bible titled " Why God Hates The Moon So Much" explaining all that jazz.

I believe God lifted the water off of Earth into space. This may also explain the craters on the moon; the frozen flood water would have been traveling at a high velocity and could have created enough force to make indentions on the surface of the moon

Why would God just throw all the water at the moon?
Why not just make it instantly disappearr?
What does he have against the moon anyway? Poor moon just minding its own business then WHAM! Water to the face!

it covered everything up to the Appalachians

So that is about 6,700 ft.
What happened to all that water?

It is believed by some of us that the waters of the Flood were not like the waters of the lakes, rivers, and oceans we know today. They were Creation waters, with supernatural properties that God used to both destroy and recreate the world.

so magic water

Essentially.

>supernatural properties
Like lower boiling points and Non-Newtonian properties?

Maybe. I don't know the science of it. But supernatural properties could mean anything. He's God. He makes His own rules.

there we have it.

that's why you can't argue with theists.

I'm a theist and I gotta agree with you, he mad the worst argument ever.

Well what would you have said?

Well I agree with your point, it's just worded poorly.

At a certain point I run out of vocabulary.

Heheh

I think we should make a board dedicated to science, math, and technology. All in one.

Precisely.

If such a board existed, all that would happen is the atheists would occupy it to talk shit about theists, and the theists would occupy this one to talk shit about atheists, and every once in a while members of each groups would troll the rival board. With just one board, both parties are forced to be civil with each other for the sake of the board.

That's a really good point.

Thank you.

Hey, maybe we should do away with all the boards except for one so everyone is forced to get along with everyone! It may be really confusing and frustrating for people who want to focus on a single topic, but HEY! Maybe they'll get along someday!

Eh, doubt it would happen. We have enough boards as it is.

In that case, I motion to replace a few of them. Most of the boards move about as fast as a boulder rolling up a hill anyway...

no, you were right it was 40 days

Those must have been some raging waters!

windows 8 sucks shit anyways, more user friendly for newbs to the computer world...although it gives some better performances but have you played all 3 games and would you recommend them? like all the way trough

since you have the gif i mean

That pretty much sums up Win8. lol
Yes, I fucking do recommend all 3 Mass Effect titles, along with all their dlc as well (that's important). Play them all in order, every fucking main mission and side quest. Everything you do affects the next game when you start it.
Also ME1 starts off pretty slow, just give it time.
