trish123: Talk to me about Dawkins Mike - I may even give you one of my world renowknowned kisses - slow and lingering and so totally sensuous - play with my mind and Ill be yours forevermore
MikeHD: Evidence of what?Haven't you been reading? We don't believe in evidence in here. We play who can spout out the quickest philosophy or history, who can find the better sounding quote, who can find a scientific theory to support our skepticism. All we have to do is have a clever argument, give a cursory look at some so called evidence and come up with the pithiest quote we can find, and we win!!!
LOL
Isn't that right?
If you go back and read, that is sure what it looks like.
MikeHD: If you are talking about the post modern world view, then are you not also saying that we are kicking off our dependence on science as well.
In the “The Postmodern Condition” Jean-Francois Lyotard says scientific and rationalist discourses have lost their "legitimacy." Postmodernists reject the “Modern Spirit” that has motivated and inspired Western thinkers for the last 350 years, because they seem to believe that “reason” has betrayed us. Martin Irving wrote “Frederic Jameson defines Postmodernism as a movement in arts and culture corresponding to a new configuration of politics and economics, ‘late capitalism’: transnational consumer economies based on global scope of capitalism.”* I believe the postmodernist condemns the modernist, and places on them the blame of the world’s sad condition in light of what the “Age of Reason, or Enlightenment” promised humankind back in the 18th century.
Mike - Im sorry but postmodernists do not reject the 'Modern Spirit' how absolutely crass and ignorant of you to make such an all sweeping statement.......... unbelievable from you Mike - unbelievable - are you hoping to hop into some sort of academic bandwagon which you fear we may be unable to refute or something

Yes, there seems to be no shortage of that sort of behavior, but you claim to have some sort of evidence of god existing, and I'd like to hear about it.
It has absolutely nothing to do with winning to me. Not interested in quotes or what Einstien said about it either. I'd like to see your evidence if you have any.

Trish you are something else.
I went to YouTube and looked up Dawkins. I have a problem though. I am at work and it is hard to watch videos at work for any sustainable time.
I also have to decide whether to watch Dawkins first, or watch all the rebuttals of Dawkins. I guess I will have to watch them both before I can come back in here. Why does talking to you always turn into work.
keytone: oh,,I am out of my league here, at least when it comes to all the studies, and experts. But it is nice to see you Trish
;-}
We dont need studies and experts my sweetie - all we need is intuition and feeling - we dont need experts or librarians - feeling is what guides our intuitions - if it feels good they hey - go for it
we learn from all of our mistakes, each and every one of them - we also learn from all the good choices we make too - who to coose as our friends, who we may choose to journey with - who we may choose to jam with - those who we choose to allow us to give us a greater sense of 'self' - this is whats important and these are the things we treasure - thanks Bettis , for allowing me to see this today,
MikeHD: OH I forgot about you again B. I apologize.
You keep spouting the post you have to be Dr. Ian Malcolm to understand.Do you know who that is? Bonus points if you figure it out. (without the internet that is) LOL
any day you can enlighten me Mike is a good day!
have no idea (without using the www), who he is ..
crotalus_p: Firstly it is a scientific theory not layman’s theory , secondly it is known as a fact and thirdly it is not because I say so it is because the evidence and entire scientific community say so ,
Ummm....Firstly....it don't matter if its a 'scientific' theory or a 'laymans' theory....
Its still a theory....
Secondly: it's NOT known as fact....it's known as THEORY.
And thirdly: *you* don't matter....no more than *I*......sorry to bust your bubble bro but....WE don't matter....
