God vs. Science, REALlITY CHECK ( Archived) (88)

Bnat I worded it correctly, I forgot a comma but they actually don't cancel each other out, but I know what you are saying..

This isn't math Bnat... I may not speak PC. but it does make sense..

seriously, your right brain paradox logic side, is trying to inform your left brain linear logic side of the proper method of proving an equation.

double negatives cancel each other, seriously .. you can could not work that not out right?


double negatives also do this in math, as well as english .... they create a positive ...

Many people take the bible literally.

I'm a Brit. I either got taught or figured that when the Bible was written science wasn't quite what it is today. I believe that books like Genesis tell a story that the people of the day could understand.

I do NOT take the bible literally, word for word.

I do NOT believe that God created the world in seven days - He could have taken seven milliseconds or seven million years if He is all powerful.....it doesn't matter - just a nice simple story to tell people about the awesomeness of some universal creator.

Likewise with the clay business - clay or primordial soup? Eve = evolution........ God obviously wanted a little diversity and made 'woman' so we could evolve and have nice little mutations instead of cloning ourselves all the time which gets a bit boring! Primordial soup was all used up and God didn't want to make fresh soup so He just fished around and grabbed a 'rib' - i.e. bit of DNA and 'tweaked' it a little!

Math is a very good example of the use of linear functions and double negatives.



For the mind to beleive in a god, it has to excersize the left brain functions of paradox logic.

It may exist
It may not exist

both are true statements but in possibility only.

but the paradox logical mind accepts the "proving" statement (even though its unproven) that coincides with their desire to believe and hangs its hat on the "may" as being enough support for a truth.

The linear logical mind sees the "may" and immediately chucks "may" out of the statements. It requires real proof, engaging the linear process in search of which one of the statements is true.

Believers tend to be predominantly left brain, paradox information processors for whom "possibility" is the only requirement to accept it as truth.

Of course I have explained this in a linear logic way, so you don't liklely haven't not a clue what I'm not saying...

Actually I do understand what you are saying, but reread what I wrote by putting a comma in between the two and it makes perfect sense, though it's using three negatives not 2 it does make sense..

where as your jokes do not(no pun intended)

here's you sentence .. and trust me, punctuation would actually prove my point further as well as including the reference to the subject. Not a coma but a semi colon. Even a period would be more apt. And for clarity, we'll replace "it" with the subject you were referring to which is "creationism".

anyway you said

"but just because you don't think "creationism" may be true, doesn't make "creationism" not true....."

with punctuation and structure sort of fixed

"but just because you don't think "creationism" may be true; that, doesn't make "creationism" not true....."

the word "that" is errantly omitted in your original statement. That refers back to "because you don't think it may be true"


"You don't think it may be true "is merely the setup qualifier, it is the the mind saying, "you don't think '"creationism" may be true and this is why...

that doesn't make it not true "." your proving statement with double negs.

two negatives proving a "may"

now remove the double negs and you get "it may be true, makes it true"

again this is linear logic sorting our your paradox logic. your brain is trying its best to reach you in regard to truth

...

I could have improved on your sentence structure more as well.;. but this isnt not really an english lesson

"Creationism is a matter of faith alone which is promoted above reason." At one time in my life I too, of my personal reasoning, could see, touch, feel, lived life according to my desires, and passions, while denying the Truths, of creationism, of God, the Word of God. I, myself, am proof of what so many deny, and of their reasoning, their self-love, deny the tenets of faith required of One God. In a hospital, having been pronounced dead, with the only thing giving me life being machines, my family was asked to identify my severely mangled body. They could not, would not, accept the doctors conclusion that there was nothing they could do, and needed permission to disconnect the equipment keeping my body alive. I live, and walk today, because of their faith in God, and God's Love of his creation. For more then a month I was not in, or of my body, but free as air, in an embrace of Pure Love that we strive all of our lives to feel. There is not one word, or any words in any language on earth that can explain it, nor can I tell anyone how, a permanently disabled man, for twenty plus years in constant pain, has lived independently with minimum assistance. No narcotic drugs for the pain, despite the many offers made by doctors, as the pain I feel every moment of every day is minimized of my faith, and its strength. Knowledge I'm not here of my intentions, but of the Creators intentions, and my ablity to draw on the strengths of Gods Love I witnessed in its most Pure form. The Bible, Gods Word, does explain the Truths of creation, and science, history, has many times over, proven those Truths. To see, or hear it, one must deny what they have learned of the world, and not to chose of limited, self, intentions to back up the truths they believe.
