Last night I went to a fund-raiser, where a friend of mine was performing. Tonight I may go to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to see the birds making music on Les Paul and Gibson guitars.
Do I have your permission?
You do know that Les Paul is a signature series of Gibson, right?
But yes, it is a nice guitar. Full tones.
Takamine makes a beautiful guitar as well. Have a friend who plays a 12 string. Pearl white. It's truly soul warming watching and hearing him play.
My pawpaw had several of the Les Paul guitars.
I had a junior Gibson acustic.

Yes, they have birds landing on the guitar strings and making music. Very nice guitars, indeed.

Oh. Bird poop on a Les Paul.

Ok.

Personal secularity is a combination of brain function combined with access to knowledge and information.
That adds up to an individual who espouses critical thinking and does not accept supernatural explanations.

NOT a choice.
LOL. My accumulated knowledge so far surpasses yours it's like comparing a 1 year old with a college graduate.
That's an argument worthy of a one year old.
All that's missing is a red-faced foot-stomping. Cute.

LOL!!! Who's the one year old? YOU are the one who said that anyone who believes in God is incapable of critical thinking.

You can dish it out--but you can't take it.

Yes, it's called critical thinking. You can rely on your superstitions all you want. Nobody is stopping you.

Anyway, I don't mind being called a child in matters of faith:

Luke 18:17 - Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

I do, however, take exception to the statement that having faith means you have no "accumulated knowledge" which is patently untrue and I would challenge pretty much anyone on that score--and with few exceptions, I'd win.

OH, i see. More the equivalent of "many degrees". You want to comapare I guess. Well, let's see. This past weekend i cooked a homemade meal for my son's 20th birthday to celebrate. I attended my younger son's basketball tournament of which he was choosen for the "All Tournament Team". I got some NHL hockey tickets online and we drove down to the game and had a really nice family night. This morning i got up at 630am to drive my daughter out of town for her AAU travel basketball team practice. Then, when we got back, i made fresh pasta and made my own homemade lasagna noodles and then baked a nice lasagna for my BIL and SIL who came up to spend the day. We ate dinner, then went out bowling. We finished up the evening with pie and coffee and they just went home. So, you seem to "not have time" when i ask you very pointed questions and then you disappear rather than answer them. But, i am a very patient person. So, the questions have been posed to you on many pages of this thread. So, i assume you are going to have some free time to post and read here, so I and others are waiting for your answers.

AGAIN with the "degrees"? My goodness, it must have gotten under your skin like Morgellons Disease.

It was funny for a while, but now has reached pathological proportions and you're coming off as desperate and pathetic.

Maybe if you reference it another 86 times, you'll get it out of your system.

This conversation is an infinite Mobius strip. I'll say there's evidence of the Big Bang and of evolution, it will be completely ignored, and someone will come along with the absurd request that I prove there is no god.

Over and over again.

The PROOF is in the POOF. You either believe God created. Or, you believe NOTHING created. Which one is the most logical?

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

Or, you believe the universe (and life) are endless and beginningless, and has always been and was never created and will never end.
Earth will end. Our sun will explode, earth will be consumed in the expansion.
But, the universe will simply keep expanding, with new planets and stars coming together and falling apart.
I may as well ask you where God came from. What existed before God? Who created Him?

OK. Then, you either believe in an ETERNAL God (which is scoffed at repeatedly by nonbelievers) or instead you must believe that matter is eternal.

As for God, God is eternal. He has no beginning and no end. He wasn't created. He has always existed and always will. He exists outside of and beyond creation. He didn't "come from" anyone or anything.

Now, it's your turn. Where did your "eternal matter" come from?

Reread what I wrote. If God required a beginning, then He is not God, period. But, if the Universe "began",then we have to explain it. So, did God create it? If you don't believe in God, then you are left with Nothing Creating Itself. Then, the only other answer becomes that matter is somehow "eternal" which science has not demonstrated so you are exercising your 'faith" in the mystery "eternal matter". It is really the only two choices. So, out of faith, you have to pick one or the other.

Not really.

Considering that Time is infinite, one theory is that the Big Bang that led to us being here discussing this, was the latest one of a series of Big Bangs. Eventually, the Universe collapses into itself, and there will be another Big Bang. And there could have been several before. Or MANY MANY before.

Another theory is ...

We have a mystery that we don't have to solve. Or a mystery that we will never solve. Or that humans (or descendants) will solve in another million years. Or not.

Well, before we can even establish Jehovah or any other God, we simply need to hash out whether GOD was involved in creation or not, whomever that may be. So, to me, let's go back to point zero. God created? Or creation created itself? Once we establish that then we can argue about which God.

Ok but that is a much later argument after the fact. And, those who want to muddy the waters on whether God created or Creation Created always want to zoom ahead to argue about the details BEFORE establishing the beginning one way or the other. IF you acknowledge that GOD did indeed create, then fine we can discuss the details at this point. If you don't acknowledge GOD, then you need to establish how Creation created itself. So, once that is done, then we can talk details. But, nonbelievers always started with PRESUMED creation then try to argue about details and gloss over the fact that they cannot explain that! But, then will point to Science, science, science of which they have none.

Mary Cooper: You're missing out; it's going to be wall-to-wall fun; it's all themed. There's Jonah and the Whale-watching. All you can eat Last Supper buffet. And, my personal favorite, Gunning with God.
Leonard Hofstadter: What's Gunning with God? I'm afraid to ask.
Mary Cooper: Oh, it is a hoot-and-a-half. You write your sins on a clay pigeon, they fire 'em up in the air, and you pulverize 'em with a 12-gauge shotgun full of our Lord's forgiveness.
Sheldon Cooper: Frankly, Mom, I'm encouraged to see how advanced your group has become. You're willing to sail out into the ocean without fear of falling off the edge.
Mary Cooper: For example, if Shelly was aboard, he'd write 'smart-mouth' on his pigeon. And then *BAM*!
Sheldon Cooper: The Lord giveth and the Lord bloweth away.

Do we have any mutual friends like that?
