General - Is there a god? - View Post

who would think that a book that is written by a human (or many humans for that matter) can be the gods true words.

fagarcia75, apparently. I didn't believe that the Bible should be interpreted literally even before I went agnostic, but that's the assertion he makes that I was arguing against.

And I do regret coming down so hard on you on the astronomical matter, but it seemed to me that you were oversimplifying to the point of silliness. And I was not directly referring to E=mc^2 but rather to the fact that fusion, which powers the Sun, in fact converts amounts of hydrogen mass into lesser amounts of helium mass plus energy, thereby slowly decreasing the total amount of mass in the Sun, and less slowly decreasing the amount of hydrogen and increasing the amount of helium. The energy produced is then spewed out into the universe. I do not see how this fits the definition of "closed system".

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
