How do you know? It's impossible to make a factual statement like that. You should have said "I believe god doesn't exist". That's correct, but you do not know that "god doesn't exist".
Noone said anything about a "leap" of faith. By boarding the plane, you excercise faith, and a confidence that you will arrive safely at your designation. Your confidence is based around trust that the airline staff have fulfilled their duties properly. You have no evidence that this has happened, so boarding that plane is an act of faith.
Cobra - Doesn't water expand when it's frozen, so it's more of a thermal contraction?
IN THE PART THAT THE LION WILL NOT GROW FINS AND WILL DIE.
Now where's your evidence of God?
Yeah - water expands when it is frozen, but also expands when it is heated - there is just not enough ice to raise the sea levels very much - The idea of the ice caps melting is a myth that i am fighting - put some ice in a cup and fill it to the brim - when the ice melts the cup will not overflow
The shark and the lion will no doubt reign in their respective environments. This was the point, and not some side issue on global warming and rising water levels.No need to shout. I might be approaching 40, but the hearing is still top notch. :bounce:
New Zealands safety exceeds that shown above, we and Australia have some of the best aviation safety stats in the world.
If something is irrelevant to reality then for all practical purposes it is not real - it does not exist. sure you can argue that there is a god that is untestable in every way - but in that case your "god" has no impact on reality and so might as well not exist.
I'm sure if you fill the glass and have a block of ice sticking way up over the water surface, the water level will rise when it melts.Obviously it wont rise if the ice is all underwater to start with.
But the water was rising and covering the land, so there was no land.
Who cares, this is rediculous.
I sure as hell do have evidence that the plane will not crash and kill me.
It's your opinion that God has not or cannot "impact" on anything, and I respect the opinions of another. You do not know this for a fact. You cannot define "reality" for humanity. You can define your "reality", and that's it. My point is that you're not making a factual statement, but expressing a personal opinion, and as I said, that's fine, but understand it for what it is.
He doesn't need it - he has faith. :chuckle:
you don't have faith when you board the plane, you have certainty based on past experience.
just face it dude, your wrong.
I'm not writing anything off, and included in that is the possible existance of an entity known as God. To do so, without full knowledge of the universe, is in my opinion very foolish.
That is a rediculous statement, and you're only fooling yourself. The fact of the matter is that planes crash and people die as a result. Air travel is safe, and yes, more safe than travelling in a car, but planes still crash, and people still die. Boarding a plane is an act of faith, by placing trust in the airline's staff that they have performed their function properly.
Pity the 21 killed in Indonesia recently didn't have your so called "evidence that the plane will not crash and kill me".
....Soo to stay on topic Brendan where's your evidence of God?
Yet I have seen planes fly, oil and water emuslify (OMG magic), and many more things that you probably say require faith to believe in things working.
When it all boils down science has the answers.
