As Man, we enjoy playing God, until nature throws us a disaster and puts us Back in our place.
English
-
That's why we kick nature's ass.
-
Edited by Britton: 6/26/2015 4:39:55 AMUntil we master the disasters. And it's not playing God, its genetics.
-
Nature is uncontrollable. It has calms, but it can't be stopped. If we play the God, God is gonna put us back in our place.

*Cough*dogs*cough* *cough*selective breeding is genetic manipulation*cough *cough* *dies*

Edited by Britton: 6/26/2015 4:43:07 AMNature isn't controllable, but it can be manipulated. God needs to exist to do that, and there's no evidence of his/it's/their/his noodly appendage's existence.
-
We "unwillingly" manipulated it yet on [b]OUR[/b] planet! And see what happened! [spoiler] unwillingly, yes, but warned[/spoiler]
-
Right, so if we did it with a goal in mind, and the knowledge that we can, we can accomplish great things
-
I mean that it's almost dying... It's still alive but wounded. All this thanks to human stupidity. If we can change this [spoiler] and we can[/spoiler] then we can project to go colonize other planets but just to decrease human presence on our [b]home[/b]
-
And that's the only way we can "manipulate" it... With toxic or non toxic escalations...
-
Manipulation only lasts so long. Prove to me that he doesn't exist.
-
Edited by Britton: 6/26/2015 4:45:33 AMI don't need to prove he doesn't exist, just like I don't need to prove that there's no space unicorns that live on Saturn. You need to prove he does.
-
Actually, it's simple. I can't prove that he does You can't prove that he doesn't, religion is entirely founded on faith, and believing in something that you don't fully understand. I respect your beliefs, and won't bash you for them, but if you bash my religion, I will retaliate.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/132851495/0/0 Merit is what matters in this instance.
-
So retaliate. Your faith is based on nothing but foolish ramblings of men from thousands of years ago that understood barely anything of the natural world, that is designed to gain followers as means of controlling the masses. You have no evidence of your God, or any divine or supernatural act. Your faith is based on an ancient lie.

He just got rekt.

The greatest hypothesis that can't be proven right or wrong for awhile helped the mind grow intellectually now stagnates the mind.
-
If it cant be tested its not a hypothesis.
-
True but think of back then no idea how things happen. chalk it up to a 3 letter made up word and wait for bad things to happen unless certain requirement were met. Probably the only type of testing that could happen with really mixed results.
-
And? That doesn't mean it has any merit, or that it deserves to be held onto when we know so much more now.

Edited by Jack sparrow from the hood: 6/26/2015 5:56:41 AMThat's why I said it helped humans at first since it was the first time we though of how things worked with (God of holes) since we know so much now it stagnates us and bars progress. The reason why people still hold onto it is due to it being so ingrained its pretty much became a psychological dependency due to religious indoctrination passed down from generation from generation. It's not that we hold on to it on purpose. It just as humans it's one of the few things we've really known for the longest time and some fear going against it.
-
Considering I was indoctrinated into it, its not an excuse once you're an adult.
-
It's not an excuse but doesn't stop people from using it as such. Ultimately it depends on the people/person. Slowly Learn secrets of the universe and progress Or Chalk it up to a man in the clouds that for generations some parents have taught to (fear) love and leave it at that.
-
Doesn't mean it's acceptable.
-
It's not but that's how the cookie crumbles.
-
I'm aware.
