    Explain how the watch is more complex then the watchmaker.


    It doesn't have to be, God can create something more complex than a watchmaker can.


    What i was saying was, if something complex "needs a watchmaker" so this complex universe obviously needs a creator. Wouldn't the creator be fairly complex as well? And according to your beliefs he did not have a creator, he was just always there.

    Why can't this apply to the universe?

    Because it's pretty obvious that the universe had a beginning. You're grasping at straws if you claim otherwise.

    Shadow_AnndroidNo. Religion is no more than having a fetish for words on a fancy piece of usedtoilet paper.

    Back to r/atheism/ with you, bud.

    Crossfire is not going to make your machine any faster,

    lolwut





    in fact, it is detrimental in some cases.

    Crossfire does have issues, but so does SLI. A single-card setup will draw less power, generate less heat, less noise. But I wouldn't exactly consider Crossfire "detrimental."

    The Radeon HD series is horrible.

    What is your reasoning?

    I heard this interesting sermon a couple weeks back, discussing the last word Jesus shouted "Tetelestai." I don't have time to discuss it now, but if anyone wants to hear it, I will gladly post about it. I thought it was really great.


    yes yes yes yes, take time Doughty c:


    Viewer Discretion Advised: This is about above quote, the spoiler contains said discussion about the sermon, so if you don't want to read about Biblical stuff, then don't.

    Click to reveal
    When you had a debt you could not pay, you would be thrown into prison until your debt was paid for. Since you can't make money while in prison, this usually meant you were stuck there until death. Trapped. That is, unless someone sacrificed their own earnings to pay for your debt. Much like a debtor, we are prisoners, not to another person, but to sin. Redemption is not something we can achieve for ourselves, we need a sacrifice, this is why people of the old testament had to sacrifice unblemished lambs to atone for their sins. (Hebrews 9:22, Leviticus 16:21-22) Unfortunately, this was only temporary, (Hebrews 10:4) similar to buying something now with a credit card, but the actual payment doesn't come until later.

    Of course, we know that Jesus was the lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world, but what does this truly mean? Well, back to the story of the debtor; When someone does finally pay the remaining debt, the word "Tetelestai" is written across the debt notice, meaning "it is finished" or "paid in full." At this point the debtor is free from his bind, safe and secure. "Tetelestai" is also the last word Jesus spoke before dying on the cross. He died for the sins of those who believe in him, past, present, and future debt has been paid in full by the sacrifice of this unblemished lamb of God. We are no longer under wrath, but under mercy. Due to His sacrifice, our debt has been paid in full, there are no more sacrifices to be made, nothing more must be done for us believers to have our sins atoned for. We are safe and secure with Christ, that cannot change. As the translation says, "It is finished." Another good verse for this is Colossians 2:13-15

    That's a wonderful sermon! Thanks for sharing.

    Here is the ancient Roman historian Tacitus, reporting on the great fire of Rome in A.D. 64:

    "Nero fastened the guilt . . . on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of . . . Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome. . "

    And here is from Lucian of Samasota, a 2nd century Greek satirist:

    "The Christians . . . worship a man to this day--the distinguished personage who introduced their novel rites, and was crucified on that account. . . . [It] was impressed on them by their original lawgiver that they are all brothers, from the moment that they are converted, and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucified sage, and live after his laws"

    Furthermore, here is Sextus Julius Africanus (c. 160- c. 240), a Christian traveler and historian, quoting Tallus, a first-century non-Christian historian:

    “An eclipse of the sun’unreasonably, as it seems to me (unreasonably of course, because a solar eclipse could not take place at the time of the full moon, and it was at the season of the Paschal full moon that Christ died.” Julius Africanus, Chronography, 18.

    Here is a piece from Wikipedia:

    "The emperor Claudius reigned 41 to 54 AD. Suetonius reports his dealings with the eastern Roman Empire, that is, with Greece and Macedonia, and with the Lycians, Rhodians, and Trojans. He then reports that the emperor expelled the Jews from Rome, since they “constantly made disturbances at the instigation of Christ” (Judaeos impulsore Chresto assidue tumultuantis Roma expulit). The name appears in manuscripts of Suetonius as Chrestus, a form also used by the Roman historian Tacitus to refer to Chrestiani."

    Multiple historians right there.

    +500 y0Honestly, i just dont understand how you can believe in a invisible guy who has been here forever(somehow that makes sense to some people) and made a sacrifice to himself, to save us from him , and he has been here for quite a while, why doesnt he stop by to say hi once in a while ? i mean it would help people believe if anyone actually has seen him before, or maybe there was some proof.

    Space and time are connected, so when space began, time began. God is not limited by it.

    Jesus, God the Son, died for us. We Christians believe in the Holy Trinity.

    As a Christian, I see the Bible as the way God communicates with us.

    Jesus is God in flesh. So when He was on earth, He was seen.

    Here is a nice article on the subject of proof.

    I've heard of it. May get around to reading it sometime. But for now, I think you should check out the youtube video "The Dawkins Delusion."

    Ah, Dick Dawkins. I really can't take that man seriously.

    Exhibit A:

    From his book The God Delusion:

    "This book will advocate an alternative view: any creative intelligence, of sufficient complexity to design anything, comes into existence only as the end product of an extended process of gradual evolution. Creative intelligences, being evolved, necessarily arrive late in the universe, and therefore cannot be responsible for designing it. God, in the sense defined, is a delusion;"

    He appears to be assuming that God is contingent on our universe, yet the God of Christianity is the creator of the universe. It is Dawkins who is delusional if he thinks he can define God different from what God is and then claim that as disproof of God's existence.
