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.

"When the time of destruction is at hand the intellect becomes perverted." Vridha Chan. 16:17.

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.

Now I ask what would we call the 'All-powerful' God of the Torah, Bible, Qur'an, Puranas, Zend Avesta, Guru Grantha, and all that other false dogmas that can do anything, who gives the same reward of heaven to both a fool and a wise man? To an intelligent soul, he is not only mortal like the Ball-club owner but even more foolish. In reality, a fool who follows a false dogma is only fooling him/herself. 
                                                                 
                         Redemption can only be a fool's passport to a fool's paradise.

Bible & science of evolution

Still can't tell the origin of the universe, human civilization, language & the laws of nature.

The origin of man is the science of evolution.

Where is that in the Bible?

The way Rabbi Hertz posits is that the order of creation is from chaos to order which is evolutionary.

You said earlier the universe is eternal, without beginning, so how come there is an order of creation?

The universe is eternal but the nature of it can change. G-d formed this current universe out of preexisting matter that, like him, existed for all eternity.

Are you that stupid? If God formed it, it was created. Let me educate you, eternal means without beginning and without end.
Then again, if the universe is eternal, what would be the purpose of God?

Turk Hill

Preexisting matter means that it was not created.

Vijai Singh

How would you know that, when there is no communication with God?

Turk Hill
Jul 24
You don't need G-d to tell you that preexisting matter means it was not created. What you need is common sense.

Vijai Singh

Common sense tells me that what I know is from revealed knowledge.
How do you know it is pre-existing?

Turk Hill

I know from common sense. G-d did not have to tell me why I see a hole in a window. If I see a hole in a window it is probably because some kid threw a stone.

The Bible says the earth is flat and the sun is moving, what does your common sense tell you? Is it a lie?

The Torah does not say those things. We have to go back to the source material and that is the Torah. Tanakh is secondarly.

Joshua 10:12: Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
Joshua 13: So the sun stood still...

The sun did not stand still for Joshua and his soldiers. It just seemed that way. The day seemed to be longer than other days as they fought, as if the sun stopped. Ralbag did not believe miracles can defy nature. Ralbag was a man of science, and the laws of science are immutable.

Makes sense, you have to be stupid to defend stupidity.
