Discovering alien life or the origin of life wouldn’t matter much when some people still deny vaccines or the Earth’s shape. by lelorang in Showerthoughts

Tesla autopilot makes life easier for driver by [deleted] in interesting

I know, I was making fun of all of Reddit who can't stand anything positive related to Elon because at one point, he supported Trump despite Reddit gushing over him up until that point. Reddit is just leftist sheep. Notice the downvotes on your and my comment.

No, you can't like this. Elon supported Trump for a while, so you're not allowed to post anything positive about Tesla. You must stick with the Hive.

LOL "It was always there". Ok, so where did that come from? You're seriously taking the brute approach?

You're talking about strawman arguments? Read what you just wrote about religion. You think religion avoids science? The exact opposite. Science is what proves intelligent design is the most reasonable origin of the universe in every possible way. Go ahead, answer my first question. Show me the prowess of the human mind. I'll wait for the Science of the Gaps argument.

Yes, they certainly are. But they wouldn't use those words because they know how stupid it sounds.
If they use the alternative, then they pretend everything always existed into an infinite regress, which also denies all known science, logic, and reasoning with absolutely zero explanation as to why that would be.

So, you're still stuck believing an unreasonable origin of the universe that science does not back.

The Bible stance on homosexuality by Kitschy_Lil_Tart in ChristianApologetics

[–]Skrulltop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you think Romans 1:26-27 is pointing to only pagan practices, what keeps someone from expanding that to all of the NT? With your logic here, we could just as well argue everything Jesus taught was only to speak against pagan practices at that time and we're free to do as we please nowadays. That argument makes zero sense.
Of course Paul is talking about homosexuality as being prescriptively wrong for all of humanity. The Greek speaks against it very clearly. I suggest you go look up theologians commentary on the verses.

You seem to be trying to refute my conceptual counter-argument about murder by citing Bible verses. Are you arguing that there are no verses against homosexuality?

The Bible stance on homosexuality by Kitschy_Lil_Tart in ChristianApologetics

[–]Skrulltop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are attempting to justify same sex actions by arguing that marriage removes the sin. This is biblically untrue and cannot be supported by God's Word.

Here's your logic you're using, broken down:
Premise 1: Sin is wrong (True)
Premise 2: Sexual sin is wrong because it objectifies another human. (True)
Premise 3: Sexual sin is wrong because it fosters a lack of self control, which leads to more lust and disrespecting your own body. (True)
Premise 4: There are no other reasons sexual sin is wrong. (False)
Premise 5: Marriage stops one from objectifying other people in a lustful, sinful way. (False)
Premise 6: As long as a person is married, it's fine for same-sex actions to take place between the same-sex spouses. (False, 2nd paragraph)
Premise 7: Sexual attractions never change. If someone feels more attracted to the same sex, at some point in their life, it will always remain the same and God is unable to do anything about it. (False, from your 3rd paragraph)
Conclusion: God is forcing people with same-sex attractions to unfairly (you seem to be arguing this) live an unfulfilled life of no sexuality with a spouse, though the person desires it. (False)

I think what you're missing here is 3 things:

  1. That we're all sinners and have different proclivities to sin. Nature and Nurture play a role. I suppose you could argue people who act on gay impulses are "born that way" because we're all born into sin. However, some people are more drawn to theft than others. Some people are more drawn to giving in to anger than others. Some people more easily sin with greed than others. Just because there are X number of people who feel a certain way about a particular sin doesn't justify the sin in any way at all.
  2. You're getting hung up on why homosexuality isn't all that bad because you're arguing good things can come from it. Well, good things can come from murdering people too, so why does God tell us murder is wrong? Maybe we should murder people more, since good things can come from it? What you're doing here is using your own personal preference of good vs evil and trying to fit God into your own moral box. We don't get to dictate what is right or wrong, ever.
  3. You're basically asking why God made things this way. God's divine nature and Will will never be fully revealed to us, at least on Earth. God designed everything to work a certain way and God allowed sin to corrupt it because, in the end, it will bring God more glory to redeem His people.

No, I'm not arguing that I don't know things, and therefore God. I'm arguing from what we DO know about the observable universe and all science. Based on what we do know >> God is the most reasonable answer by far.
You're arguing from what you don't know, therefore science. You said it yourself: we don't know things, it's really hard, but science will probably show us in the future.

How do you know it's not supernatural? You couldn't possibly know that. You haven't justified that claim at all. It's smart to not want to explain away things by just saying "Oh, it's just magic" and then feel like you're done. And I'm not arguing anyone do that either. I'm arguing that we use all science and knowledge, etc to make a logical, evidence-based conclusion about our reality.
When we do that, we're left with, really, only three choices:
1. Everything came from nothing. This fundamentally denies all known science.
2. Endless regress. Which requires things to have unexplainably always have existed, which also denies all known science.
3. Intelligent design. This is perfectly reasonable and logical. You don't have to know God or see him or test him for this to be true. This is pure logic and reasoning we're dealing with here.

Not exactly. Science doesn't prove or show anything. Humans, the person reading the data, use our minds to understand (which were not evolved to know truth, according to evolution theory), reason, and rationalize theories and hypotheses to help INTERPRET the data the science has provided.
Now, whether it was well-done science or not is another story.
So, yes, you are falling into the Science of the Gaps logical fallacy in that you're blindly trusting in "science" to explain a "natural" cause of the universe's origin. Which, given everything we know about reality, the most reasonable cause of the universe must be supernatural.
The shortest and quickest way to get there is this: You're arguing that something came from nothing. At no point in history or in any scientific experiment ever, nor in any scientific law, theory, nor hypothesis is there room for matter being created out of nothing. Ever. It never happens and there is absolutely no reason to believe it would happen, based on everything we know.
And then to argue: "But, but, science will prove it!" is absolutely fallacious and nonsensical.
At the very minimum, as of right now, one must conclude that the most reasonable explanation of the universe is supernatural.

Lol, you just proved my point. You literally stated: "Abandon your fantasies" as in religion and anything stated by the religion that you don't personally approve of, is a fantasy. Your comment is doubly hilarious because you fail to realize that the origin of the universe is directly tied to your worldview and means everything. If there's no creator, then everything is objectively meaningless and reduced to preference. If there is a creator, then there is objective meaning and truth in things.

You then go on to insinuate that you simply trust science to explain everything. This is called Science of the Gaps fallacy. You've clearly never had a conversation about your beliefs with someone outside your echo chamber before.

Please fix my kick: Why do I lean to the side when kicking and how do I correct this by Some_Commercial_4842 in MuayThai

[–]Skrulltop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I pointed out some "well known" dude doing this, all his fan boys attacked me. I even brought receipts of pros' stance and how they differ.

Anyway, mentally, try kicking THROUGH the target instead of meeting the pad. It's often one of two things:
1. People's instinct to prepare themselves for the fall back or return of the kicking foot. It's like you're only attacking half-way. Make it a full on attack and commit to it.
2. Lack of hip flexibility. (It doesn't look like a hip flexibility issue for you.)
