Religious Fundamentalists

[nailit]

After years of debate on here (and elsewhere, both online and in person) with religious fundamentalists, there's only one conclusion that can be reached.
Their brains are switched off!

Im not talking about the average person who happens to have a religious belief. I mean the fundies. Those who believe whole heartedly in a given dogma and wont make any concession that they may be wrong, despite been shown evidence to the contrary.

I remember reading an Arthur C Clarke article once where he talked about a team of scientists who set up an observatory in a muslim country to observe a solar eclipse. The team of scientists were ridiculed by the local clerics who said that only Allah knows the timing of such things. After the eclipse, the clerics accepted that it had happened but said that it was nothing more than an amazing coincidence...

I have no problem at all with religious believers, but some (like the clerics above) cant accept the bloody obvious even when its been presented to them right before their eyes.
It gets passed over like its never even been read!!!

Naomi - Apart from being critical, you never offer any evidence to support your views.
I don't expect any change soon.

Zacs nearly chokes on theland’s irony

[naomi24]

Theland, I tell you on a regular basis why your claims may be dismissed. Which bits aren't you reading?

[Theland]

Stephen C Meyer of Discovery can't be faulted, except by you with no evidence.

Zacs - Your,problem?

[Zacs-Master]

Religious bigots who can’t prove anything with the bible.

[naomi24]

You need to do some research, Theland.

[Theland]

Oh I have.
Where is your evidence to suggest science has discovered no need for a Creator? Sadly lacking and if Dawkins is your hero then no wonder.

[Theland]

Zacs - No not just the bible.
Look around you, cause and effect. .????

[naomi24]

Religion makes the claims, Theland .... and as you know extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Where's yours?

[naomi24]

ps. I don't have any heroes, Theland. It's called being self-sufficient.

[Zacs-Master]

The evidence I’d the bible, isn’t it?

[Zacs-Master]

is

[naomi24]

So 'they' say, zacs .... but 'they' don't appear to have read it. If 'they' had, common sense would tell them they're wrong.

[Theland]

A brilliant riposte Naomi, like a politicians answer.
Saying something without saying anything.

Extraordinary evidence?
How about the universe for starters?
Is that extraordinary enough for you?

[Theland]

More fiery darts.
Your default position.
Other than those you have nothing worthwhile to say.

[THECORBYLOON]

Where is the proof that God created the universe?

[naomi24]

Well ...it's there, we're accustomed to it being there and us being a part of it, so therefore it's 'ordinary'. No? What's your point?

[naomi24]

Theland, you keep saying I have nothing worthwhile to say but what you mean is you don't like what I say.

[Theland]

I don't like what you say?
You are saying nothing.

[naomi24]

Haha! I'm saying nothing. Nevertheless you always have plenty to say about what I'm saying. :o)

I asked you what your point is. Any answer?
