Behold, the disturbing mind of the christian fundamentalist

[Flyborg]

Translation: "Without me girl, you're nothing. You're worthless. Also, here's a fucking gun in your face."

I almost want to thumb this abusive garbage up just so more people can see the absolutely disgusting nature of your mythology. But instead I'll just save this video for future use, in case you take it down out of shame.. which you should, if you've got a shred of decency.

You're basically promoting an abusive relationship with a concept that you control.

That's sick.

What's the matter, creatards? Afraid of going to a better place? LOL!

@cda76er Brain chemistry and neural impulses are as much consciousness as random 1's and 0's are a computer program. The self aware mind we call consciousness is a process. The chemicals even the method of how neurons function could be completely replaced (if the technology existed) and the consciousness could remain. This process is not something you can hold in your hand, it is an event. Man has never needed to understand the mind to survive, so we don't and it seems magical to us.

@Khyrid

Let me ask a different question. What is consciousness to you? Is it only brain chemistry or something more?

[Khyrid]

@cda76er Well either world view, yours or mine can be a lot to grasp. Advanced self aware lifeforms mutating and evolving into existence from mere chemicals or a ever existing all powerful being that creates worlds and lifeforms for reasons apparently beyond my comprehension, I would never create a world like ours.

Consciousness came the same way any feature of ours came to be, it was useful so it developed little by little over a very long time. Natural selection favored it for us.

I appreciate that you're not as "dogmatic" as many Evolutionists. I'd hope that you'd be willing to read some of the articles on the Answers in Genesis website with an open mind. Both the Evolution worldview & that of ID present evidences & make arguments & if you're willing to truly consider which explanation is better able to account for all existence & knowledge you'd be convinced it is our worldview. For now, I would ask you: How would u explain the origin of human consciousness?

[Khyrid]

@cda76er Okay, I believe it is most probable (unlike religions world views that believe for certain) that I (and all earth life today) am the result of 3.8 billion years of biological evolution. I think it's likely that life first started as basic simple cells from a process called abiogenesis, however it is possible some other means is responsible. I hold these views because there is converging scientific evidence to support them.

@Khyrid

The argument from the impossibility of the contrary is not the same as "the God of the gaps" argument, nor is it an argument from ignorance. But, OK. Then let's focus on your own existence. Just how can you account for this? I am going to assume that you will claim that you are real. So, the burden of proof is on you. Go for it!

[Khyrid]

@cda76er You can't think of a way for us to exist so you insert god as the explanation. This is called the god of the gaps argument. It is an argument from ignorance. I don't know how Y happened so it must be idea X. This is bad logic.

You say everyone already knows god exist, that is wrong. I do not know that a god exist.

[cda76er]

The proof that the God of the Bible exists is that He must exist in order for us to exist & know anything. God must exist because the contrary is impossible. The only possible basis for the absolute reliability of the rules of logic is that they reflect the way God thinks, which we are also able to do in a limited way. Any other approach renders these rules arbitrary or changeable, which would make all knowledge impossible. Besides, everyone already knows God is real, but resists the Truth.
