| TheProphet said: To those of you who don't know any history, or understand the way a modern secular society works let me explain. Yes the people in control of the mainstream entertainment industry are not followers of the Bible. I think any reasonable person would agree to that. Since most of you don't know what's in the Bible let me explain. The Bible preaches monogamy. Do you know what that means? That means no sex outside marriage, Now I know you are familiar with modern movies. How many of them show sex only after marriage. As a percentage, I would estimate about zero. So no, the people who make movies do not follow the Bible. That is quite clear from their track record. It is a verifiable fact. As to creation, the Bible does not give a date. Some people have tried to use the Bible to make that calculation many years ago. However, nowhere does the Bible say just how long ago. The Bible does say emphatically that God created the universe. NASA has discovered the age of the universe. It has a beginning, therefore it was created. If you believe that the universe created itself out of nothing then you are taking an enormous leap of faith. Something does not come from nothing. Where did all the matter come from?" An where did intelligence come from? There is no law of physics that says that life, and especial intelligence, will come into being. That's like saying that there is a law of nature that turns rocks into brains. It is false. There is no such law. btw, 'Are you for real' is not a very convincing argument. As to creation |
Monogamy means a relationship where a person only has one spouse at a given time. It does not imply marriage or even that the two participants are of the opposite gender.
Not following the text of the bible in a literal sense does not mean people are not Christians - let along making them atheists.
Causality and the conservation of energy are two properties of the universe. There is nothing in science to imply that they exist outside of the universe and therefore there is nothing that implies that the beginning of the universe was governed by them. As such science does not currently show where or how matter or the universe came from - it also does not imply it had a creator.
Where life came from is quite a seperate field of study from where intelligence originated. The study of the origin of life is the study of abiogenesis, there's some very interesting work in the field showing how the basic compounds necessary for life (in an very simple form) to spontaneously form were likely in existence. As for intelligence - the theory of evolution (especially through natural selection) shows how that could have eventually formed.
