WELCOME TO CRITICAL THINKING
Debunking false dogmas.
The terror of constant brainwashing indeed spells hopelessness for billions. A static intellect is when predetermination takes the place of honest inquiry and truth is suppressed. The culprit is misguided religion which leads to fanaticism, barbarism and superstition. This form of credulity is the catalyst of existing adverse and prejudicial conditions that have plagued mankind for nearly 5,000 years. Topic of discussion Can a fool, fool God? - Feb 08, 2002 What Baseball-club owner would pay his worst ball-player the same money as his best? Since he is the owner he can do anything and even through compassion make such a reward. But let's measure the disadvantages of such a measure, his club would go bankrupt because his worst players would never strive to be better while his best players would do less since it makes no sense to be the best. Baseball will become non-competitive and the millions who would be deprived of its entertainment will no longer support it, not to mention the thousands that will be affected by employment. If there were such an owner who lacks such business sense, he would be called a fool, won't he? A fool has no value for time or knowledge and so he remains a fool all his life. It certainly requires no effort to be a fool and in the end he/she repents for being a fool and gains salvation. On the other hand, a wise man values his time and works diligently and strenuously daily all his life, in his efforts through austerity and abstinence to attain higher wisdom also gains salvation. |

What are you talking about? Have you looked through the techniques now apes and animals are developing to survive in this ever changing world and also with humans? There were Neanderthals,homo longi and other relatives who couldn't made it where we are.
Vijai Singh
It's not about who made it and who didn't, it is about an ape evolving into a human, which is a breach of natural laws.
"We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws." Einstein

I think theory of evolution is very simple, what you found that was breaching natural laws?
Vijai Singh
What do you know of natural laws?
"We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws." Einstein
3³Shooting star
Hahaha, then actually who really knows? God or Alpha male?
It looks arranged to our small minds but do you even know of quantum physics? Entropy of the universe?
Knowledge kills ignorance, you just need more knowledge in my opinion.
Dennis
Of course Einstein was referring to his specialty, the mysteries of the universe, & was not even thinking of evolution, which had already been well confirmed by his time (& continues to be so today).
If Einstein were alive he'd send our friend a "cease & desist" letter! Grinning face
Vijai Singh
He had to be thinking of evolution to come up with a dim understanding of natural laws which only one "religion" can truly explain.

"Religion is neither true nor necessary; it offers nothing which is not already available." - my Mother's first date
Vijai Singh
So now, you're crediting your mother for being a pedant.
Only an idiot would ignore the thoughts of a genius.

You ape mind, Einstein was a non believer, for him God meant the sum of all laws of the universe. Now you understand or you want to show more of your stupidity.
Vijai Singh
What are the laws of the universe?
Dennis
Get a book about physics.
Vijai Singh
And end up like you, full of doubts?
Dennis
"FULL" of doubts? No, just doubtful when unsupported claims are made.
And your misguided quote about being "cocksure" clearly applies to you!
Doubt is the beginning of wisdom. Your ancient superstition is a roadblock, common to the weak & needy.
Vijai Singh
So who in your opinion is a person of wisdom (a wise man)?
Dennis
There are many wise people, but there are far more who hang on their coattails. They worship others without doing their own work.
Quotes can be effective, but not when used as a disguise for your own inadequacies.
Vijai Singh
Good for you! Now all you've to do is name one.
Dennis
Why should I name one?
Vijai Singh
How else would I know you know who is wise?
Ahmed Hasan Yusuf Tazim Muhammad
There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of God.
Dennis
That's funny, Ahmed!
Unfortunately, even in the 21st Century, there are still people who believe it.
They simply don't know any better. It's what they were taught.
Vijai Singh
You're in serious trouble Dennis.
Allah will throw fear into the hearts of the disbelievers, and smite their necks and fingers. (Original: إِذْ يُوحِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى الْمَلآئِكَةِ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْفَثَبِّتُواْ الَّذِينَآمَنُواْسَأُلْقِي.....
