[The scientists who are studying these issues are the one's whose opinions count. That's harsh, but that's the way it works in science.]
LOLOL! I laugh at the arrogance of science.
What happens on this earth is insignificant over the age of the universe much less eternity.
A thing only matters if God wills it. His opinion is the only one that counts.
To God be the glory.

That would be true, except God has never given us his opinion or shown he exists for that matter. And, no, what the Bible says does not count as God's opinion seeing as it was written by men.
Well, when God has the time to tell me what matters and what doesn't, I'll listen. Until then, I'll use my brain.
"I laugh at the arrogance of science."
And without that computer no one would see your stupidity.
(Why bother, they never get it.
Pours another whiskey.)
A thing only matters if God wills it. His opinion is the only one that counts.
And historically, God's opinion has always been "I help he who helps himself". When the Plague was rampant, people tried to "cure" it by crawling to the church on their knees to pray to God to spare them. He didn't. A sinless devout Christian was as likely to die as a prostitute or a drunkard. Today in the US we cure the 10 - 15 cases a year with a few dollars worth of streptomycin.
God has never rewarded blind faith combined with ignorance; at least not in this world (and probably not in the next either).
And I laugh at your ignorance of science. Everything that happens on this planet is of importance. Everything from how we treat our fellow humans to how we treat our wildlife and nature IS important. How can you say it's insignificant? Don't YOU live here too?
You mindless, pathetic little sheep.
What Sybot said.
Those that speak of science as arrogant has probably never been involved with it.
The very basis of science is questioning yourself and changing your views.
The basis of religion is staunchly sticking to views that have been passed to you by someone else, and passing them on to as many as you can.
In that case, why bother using a computer or modern medicine?. After all, his opinion over that is not clearly specified, why that cherry picking?
Don't know about Alamo-Girl, but I laugh at the arrogance of fundies. See, unlike scientists, fundies can't actually offer proof with which to back their beliefs.
And how do we know if God wills anything? Last time I checked, we don't. So unless you happen to be the Prophet Almano-Girl, kindly stop acting as if you know the inner workings of an entity who's existance can't even be proven.
Until God shows himself, I'll make full use of my brain. Kinda wasteful to leave such a good computing system alone. If you're not using yours, can I have it? Its kinda rusty, but would work normally.
And scientists are never afriad to admit that they don't know everything. If they knew everything, they would be kicking back in armchairs watching TV instead of being in the lab.
"What happens on this earth is insignificant over the age of the universe much less eternity." Well, she got that right. As a friend puts it, "In 100 years, will anyone give a shit?"
"His opinion is the only one that counts." And clearly Alamo-Girl knows God's opinion on everything.
"A thing only matters if God wills it." This really bothers me. This seems to say that God watches over us and so nothing REALLY bad will happen. I'm more concerned that we don't wipe ourselves out with stupidity and blind faith. And with an evangelical who believes in the rapture holding the nuclear football, we cannot afford to assume everything will be fine.
There's just that little issue of having no idea that what you have is actually his opinion, if he has one, and if he exists.
If a scientist proposed a theory with that many qualifiers, he'd be laughed out of the conference.
Take a clue from the Amish then. Shun the products of science, and do everything by muscle power and firelight.
Knowing your type, you'll spend your days asking your god to do all the work for you....
"Alamo-Girl"
What is she, a rent-a-car/idiot?
Well, at least, in her sad, stupid life, she got a laugh out of it.
I've always found a funny thing though. Usually when someone says that all that matters is what God wills, usually, what he wills is directly in line with said person's beliefs and best interests. Funny, no?
When God gives me his opinion, you can bet I'll listen. Mouthpieces like you, however, have no sway over me.
"A thing only matters if God wills it. His opinion is the only one that counts."
Your 'God' created Smallpox. A far bigger killer than that Biblical favourite, Leprosy (which is now easily curable these days; no healing 'miracles' required) The Smallpox Eradication Program, from 1950-80. The last person to die from Smallpox was in 1977.
Smallpox now exists only in culture flasks in a number of labs around the world. There is still debate in the scientific community to this day about if said cultures should be kept for future virological research (using such as a basis for curing other diseases), or destroying such.
Science now has it in it's power to make a species of virus completely extinct .
Science - 1. God - 0.
Smallpox only matters if Science wills it. Your 'God's opinion doesn't count for shit .
Okay, God? What should we work on today? A cure for cancer? Solving world hunger? War in the Middle East? Maybe some domestic problems, like people who are homeless because they are mentally ill?
God?
Hello?
Fuck it, let's just keep hating the fags, and blowing up abortion clinics then.
Okay, dipshit. Get off your computer, burn down your house and money, run your car into a lake, and go live in a tree. You're a hypocrite if you don't, and God doesn't like that... or something.
> LOLOL! I laugh at the arrogance of science.
Shine that mirror some more, why don't you?
I laugh at your arrogance, as well as your wilful ignorance.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
