If what you mean by broken logic is missing data then yes. Addressing ever single thing would take a long time, so data left out is data with undeffind variables that a person has many ways that person can interpit it. Information such as what you just brought up about the creater setting serton rules and breaking them leads to death, and wether there will be a life after that death. And your right, I was sorta dodging it, and I was doing so first because I didn't want to spend a long time explaining every thing that I can recall. I know that I have limits, and today inclass, I could not focus on the class work because I was distracted by other things, primarily thing about how I would answer this quetions while not getting into a long discution that would take an unknow amount of time, and has the potental to last for months. After thinking about that and seeing how I was distracted in class trying to address this, I know now that I will have to deside what I will have to address. Those choices are to continue addressing this here, or focus on my class work. Then I have to concider the pros and conns.<br><br>If I stay here to discuss every thing that comes up, I can answer many of the quetions that, if unanswered leaves the broken logic, but at the same time I have to put in a lot of effort and my class work is going to suffer, my teacher is going to ask me why I haven't been doing well in his class all the sudden, my parents are going to get worried and well, the rest can be assumed.<br><br>If I choose to address my class work, I pass the class, learn the info from that class, my teacher is pleased with how well I have been doing, my parents happy with my grades, but on the other hand, you don't get your answer, and some of the people on this board in up interpiting that act as if I am copping out, and some people who would wish to make it look like that would blow the whole secomstance out of proportion.<br><br>So yes I am sort of dodging a bit, but I have my reasons. Beside the first reasons I came to this thread was to address the story a little and overt a flame war., and when I visit this websites message board, I usually come just to chat with other people and talk about anime, and tenchi muyo. If thats the reason I come to this board the most, and I have school work to be done that will effect the rest of my life, what would you think I determain more importaint at this time? <br><br>Truthfully, I would like to countinue talking about this, I would like to answer every thing you bring up, but all I really wanted from this thread was to keep it civil, and sence I have work to do, I have to choose and do it.<br><br>And to answer your last quetion, yes trust is being sought, as well as a realtionship with god. And my god would want me to seek truth, so in seeking truth have have to study it, test in against other things, and measure the reasults, which happens to be the scientific method of thinking. With out the scientific method of thinking, I would have never been able to generate the pros and cons to my perdicament, and would have likely made a rash desition based on emotions. I wouldn't have answered you honistly if I didn't think logicly, I wouldn't even know why I would be dodging, nor would I want to admit it to myself, thus I would not have seeked thruth, and if my god wants me to seek truth, I would have done just the oppiset of his will if I had not admitted to the dodging, or know why. <p></p><i></i>

Your explanation was fundamentally flawed because it ignores continuing themes from the books that you base your beliefs upon. So, irrespective of your intention, you did not address the issues.<br><br>When you take it on faith that those books are fundamentally accurate (minus *known* mistranslations and alterations), the conflict of "what is" vs. "what is written" must inevitably lead one to understand that much within the books is allegorical, not literal. ...Unless one's faith is in the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>interpretations</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> of the books by those supposedly teaching from them. This is where the pursuit of truth comes into play.<br><br>Philosophically, the "Scriptures" are very canny. There is a passage, I believe, instructing Christians to test their own beliefs, to ensure that they have not strayed from the truth. It is the reminder of human error. So, if the books are truthful and the reality different from interpreted beliefs, the interpretations are wrong... if a person's faith is in the truth contained in the books, rather than the teachings by man.<br><br>This fundamental philosophy exists in science. If the observed facts do not match the theory, the theory is at fault, not the underlying truths (logic and reality). Theories are constantly tested, revised, expanded, and discarded. They are not impervious to the scientific process, just because they were taught by Newton, Einstein, or your college professor.<br><br>This is where organized religion falls short. Its structure encourages faith in the "theories", the beliefs supposedly founded upon the philosophical writings with the "Holy Scriptures". That is dogma, doctrine founded by authority. Authority that supposedly comes from God... but actually lies in the appointment of men, by men, over other men. Imperfect men, all of them. <p></p><i></i>

That is good that you understand that, but don't use just one belife, make sure you address that atheisuim and polytheisums is subject to this as well. MonoTheisum, polytheisums, and evolution are all unproven and all not disproven. The faith part dopes come in where you belive that the words are true and belive that adam and eve existed created by a god, just like you would trust that atheisum is real and all humans came from monkeys. You can't prove it just like I can't prove my belife, you can interpit that monkeys became humans from comparing like bone structers, but cannont prove it. <br><br>Just as you said theories are made, tested, revised, explanded, and discarded, and the problem with evolution is that sevral diffrent theories have come, and have been discarded. And sense you can't prove or disprove Monotheisum, polytheisum, or evolution, you are left to make a choice of what to belive in, if you choose to belive in any thing. Sense every one has a nagging feeling that they need a perpose, they are very likely to choose something.<br><br>Now remember, I do have a bit of classwork, and homework to deal with as well as other people, and can't really address every thing that pops up in this board. So sorry if I don't address a bunch of stuff, but I do need to get other things done, so it is sort of feels antaginizing to not see your last post reconize parts of my last post that addressed this, and makes me feel like you think I lied. And sense I don't have a way to prove that I do have other things that I need to do, that make it increasingly difficalt to find time to reaspond to this thread, you simply have to take it on faith! So you have the choice to belive me or have the choice to think I am lying. <p></p><i></i>

Irrespective of how you take rolf's comments, there is a fundamental aspect of reality that you must come grips with. What do you base your perception of reality upon? If it is only what you can percieve, then you are restricted to the limits of your senses, whether personal or through devices. If it is faith, then you are restricted to the limits of your beliefs... and whoever created them, then taught them to you.<br><br>Whatever model you espouse, be it by intelligent design or natural order, there are rules by which reality exists. If there are rules, there are knowable truths. If there is truth, then there are constants. By determining the constants, the structure of reality becomes apparent... even if we cannot ascertain all of its aspects. When there is conflict, either within knowledge derived from science or philosophy from religion, with observable reality, our views must yield. If they do not, we are merely creating a fantasy world inside of our minds, embracing the lie when it is convenient and rejecting the truth when it is not.<br><br>So, once more, when observable reality shows us that new beneficial genes are not being created within gene pools, is it reasonable to continue espousing classical evolutionary theory (which holds that new genes will come into being within a gene pool) or classical creationist theory (which holds that mankind originated from a single pair of humans)? Both are fantasy when put under the light of reality. One is justified as an abstract scientific theory that is currently unsupportable through scientific analysis. The other is justified as religious belief that is currently unsupportable through philosophical analysis.<br><br>One is either dealing in truth or fiction, whatever the intention. If your religion espouses truth above all other things, then the answer must be clear. If your religion espouses man-made tradition over all other things, then the answer must likewise be clear. I would simply like to know where you stand. If you can clearly answer this, then we can move on. Otherwise, we are just spinning our wheels. <p></p><i></i>
