Another Stake in the Heart of Atheism

[_canpakes]

Noah's flood killed the dinosaurs. They are only a few thousand years old not millions. Plenty proof of that fact if you ignore the flawed carbon dating theories.

What did God and Noah have against the dinosaurs? Some of these critters were totally likeable and cute, and would have had no problem hanging out on deck with the rest of the animal kingdom. Why would they be denied their chance for life on the Ark? : (



... What kind of monster would say no to this face??

You all know how I killed atheism by convicting it of a chosen passion rather than a rationale of pure intellect and science. You guys ignore my great triumph to pretend it out of existence. Hardly. Even though at this moment while on break at work I am having a stupor of thought concerning the other stake in the heart of atheism, it shall come back to me in spades soon enough.

To be continued...

Before you continue you had better notice one thing. Even if it were true that someone had a passion for the idea that something doesn't exist, that doesn't make that thing exist.

For example, I have a sort of passion for the idea that black magic isn't real. I care because in some countries the idea causes suffering.
But if someone points out my passion, that does nothing to make black magic real after all.

That said, I must tell you that I have an unrequited passion for the idea of a benevolent God. So much so that I revisit the whole God question every so often and make several attempts at resuscitating a belief in God without violating my intellectual integrity.
I haven't been able so far. The best I can do is make God into something like "the structure of reality" or in a different mood "the mysterium tremendum" or even "Being itself" or "love". But I doubt any of those things really make me anything other than an atheist with as sense of awe and a mystical disposition.

In short, unlike the late great Mr. Hitchens, I don't actually despise the idea of God and I would be delighted to find life after death.
You will just have to face up to the fact that for some of us it is really just a matter of what we can honestly affirm given our experiences searching for truth and some of us maintain these conclusions despite a passion for eternal life and all that.

Or you could keep pretending we are what we are not if it makes you more secure.

Noah's flood killed the dinosaurs. They are only a few thousand years old not millions. Plenty proof of that fact if you ignore the flawed carbon dating theories.

Plenty of proof if you, like, ignore all of the evidence.

You will have to do better. Non-avian dinosaur fossils are millions of years old. Carbon 14 dating only works to about 50,000 years ago and works pretty well in that range.

The trouble with your point is that no one uses C-14 to date dinosaur fossils. It's a pointless statement.

Please tell me you're pulling our collective leg....you know the earths not flat, right?

First the dinos were like:


But Noah decided to sink the cruise ship to help the earth repopulate via less predation.

Quasimodo's point about the range for carbon dating destroyed your first argument. Strike one. However, assuming that your statement was not meant as a joke, you certainly deserve another chance to demonstrate that you have the slightest clue what you are talking about.

Perhaps you would be kind enough to explain to us the the stratigraphic evidence for the age of the dinosaurs, including the approximate 65 million year old iridium layer - observed precisely and globally at the K-T extinction boundary - and above which no dinosaur fossils are found.

It would be great if you could let us know how the YEC crowd tries to explain away the massive amount of evidence that places the deposition of the worldwide iridium layer, along with the associated mass global extinctions, in scientific geologic time as opposed biblical time.

Continued Nightlion is BAT s*** CRAZY, the end.

You are sounding too much reminiscent of a sissified Mormon apologist without what to say.

NOAH'S ARK HAS BEEN FOUND. WHY ARE THEY KEEPING US IN THE DARK?

A bonus stake in the heart of dead atheism. Truth must be ignored when love demands it. Atheists fall in love with the fantasy of there not being a God....Or a true prophet. Love's ardour defeats all sensibility.
