That's not my conclusion. It doesn't prove anything. But it clearly does not exclude a higher designer. That is the 'mission creep' of scientific atheism, imo

The Path With a Heart Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your...

But all this is really 'evolution' of the universe, not genesis of the universe. There's no more evidence that the universe 'poofed' itself into being, than there is evidence some greater designer caused the universe? There's no actual knowledge of what originated the Big Bang singularity --...

I agree

The search for life elsewhere in the universe starts with the search for water, without which the carbon based life existing on Earth cannot function. In a way the search for life on other worlds seems to have undergone considerable ‘mission creep’ from the assumption that for life to exist...

Bingo. Especially how order came to exist in an entropic universe programmed for dissolution? How did the vast heat of the universe originate from a state approaching absolute zero? It's like trying to build a house of cards in a hurricane

Excuse me? Uh uh. That's the point. It happened exactly against the way the universe is programmed to happen -- which is entropy, dissolution The Second Law of Thermodynamics: the state of entropy of the entire universe, as an isolated system, will always increase over time. Heat will always...

In a dimension where entropy rules, and all order dissolves into random disorder, all heat dissipates eventually to absolute zero -- where did the original order come from, against all odds of chance, stacked coincidence, far beyond any calculation of odds?

Sorry, the above article #35 has now been linked, and thank you @iBrian However it was wrongly credited to Wesley when it is actually written by @Thomas Sorry ... thanks again :) No more from me on the subject, lol

@iBrian There is also this response by @Thomas included as an article https://www.interfaith.org/articles-2/response-to-an-affair-on-golgotha/

We'll never agree. Garaffa is a very poor writer and his articles are simply bad, imo All good

Refutation of The Pauline Conspiracy An Affair on Golgotha -- a refutation A Response to the Summary of the Pauline Conspiracy Several others ...

In my personal opinion the refutations of Garaffa's articles should be published alongside.

I believe the concept of original sin comes from the fact that as natural creatures we are forced to take the life of other natural creatures in order to sustain our own -- even by breathing and drinking water we have to kill tiny living creatures. It is why the Jain religion is symbolised by...

Sure. But I don't get theist resistance to evolution and abiogenesis? It's just the mechanism. The Bible says God created Adam from dust. Unless someone must have the literal Biblical account of creation? Anyway ...

Yes. Search Garaffa by member Juantoo3 I came up with lots :)

There's nothing lost. Garaffa's articles and the responses are all still saved: just no longer front and centre on the homepage. The discussion threads are all still there in the forums. Perhaps just search the word Garaffa?

God created Adam from the dust of the earth = abiogenesis, imo

But it's still the mechanism of the 'how' imo.

It's the most current scientific research open to scrutiny and peer review Agreed. But the facts observed are nevertheless facts It has been demonstrated, hence the report Anyone can check the research Empty of what?
