Three Questions

[Khandro]

With Brexit out of the way (?!) can we now turn to more momentous issues? I refer to those posed by St Augustine in reference to Creation; Who made it? By what means? & Why?

[Khandro]

naomi; I have stated clearly what I believe, albeit of necessity in a truncated form, if you are unable to understand that, then so be it, but I don't need any lessons in manners from you.

[naomi24]

I'd rather you took them from someone else, Khandro, but whatever - you need them.

Your deliberations on another thread are, I would have hoped, beneath you. Sadly they are not. To me, unforgiveable.

[Theland]

Just to try and untangle this mess with accusation and counter accusation, it is simple to read a message, and believe that the message originated in a mind, and was then processed with pen and paper, print, or computer, to communicate the message.
Is that OK or will Beso get further upset?

[naomi24]

What messsge originated in the mind?

[Theland]

The one you just posted for a start.

[naomi24]

Another cop out.

[vulcan42]

Theland, for your theory to be correct every thought from every brain has to be an original idea, which it obviously isn't.

[Theland]

Cop out? You are so predictable with your pit downs.

[Theland]

Vulcan - All I am saying is that if you see a message, or instruction, you know that it is not an accident, but has originated in a mind.

[naomi24]

Theland, //All I am saying is that if you see a message, or instruction, you know that it is not an accident, but has originated in a mind. //

And? Just what is the point you are trying to make?

[pixie374]

It isn't one or the other, theland. It hasn't originated there, but been created there.
It would be a bit like someone giving you and I identical ingredients (information) and we would likely both come out with different recipes... as we ha e added in other knowledge, experience etc. individually x

[pixie374]

You and me...

[Theland]

Naomi - It has obviously gone over your head.

[Theland]

Pixie - This is unnecessarily complicated now.
I have made my point several times.

[venator]

Ah, yes. As Pope of the First Church of Answerbank, I state with ultimate authority that the answer to all these questions is to be found online.

[Theland]

Oh your holiness, don't lift your cassock in the corridors.

[naomi24]

Theland, //I have made my point several times.//

You’ve meandered but you haven’t cut to the chase - and that would be the simplest way to make your point. Are you saying that God puts our thoughts into our heads? Yes or no?

[Theland]

No.

[pixie374]

Hi theland, (we are still going then)... I have seen your point several times. I was just asking for one example, which we don't seem to have got to yet?
I don't know whether the creation of the world is complicated or not, I'm not claiming to have the answers though... x

[naomi24]

The creation of the world … information originates in the mind but God is not responsible …. does anyone know what anyone who claims to know what is going on here is going on about?
