Can you show me an example of information that is NOT dependent on some physical / material container or structure in order to keep the information in place? Are you saying that the brain is not a physical / material container or structure?

How is it carried on...if not in other physical / material containers or structures?

The ToE remains the accepted way that all life developed, not just mankind, by those of all shades of theistic belief. It is not some kind of atheistic plot.
The modern mainstream scientific establishment is commited to naturalism, so in a way it is a plot of unintended consequences.

=DavisBJ;2476511]Tom, recently you said to me that “If intelligent minds did not exist, then no intelligent information can exist.” If an asteroid were to kill all large life forms on the earth (including all people), yet some small animals, plants, insects, bacteria, etc survived, then it must be that their DNA is no longer “intelligent information”. Would it suddenly quit functioning?
Brian, the answer is no. But I will not let you skip A and go to B. Where did the DNA come from?

God bless, Tom From Mabank, TX

Ah, I have it now. We just need to not use our brains. Got it.

When we talk, information goes from our brains, through the air, and into someone else's brain. I'm not sure I understand the question. The information changes mediums many times from our brain to someone elses. The information is not medium specific.

Yeah and that naturalism has given you a longer life span, better food, better health, better transportation, even the computer you type on. Some plot.

In an atheist worldview, morality has to be relative. Do you agree?

If relative, then no behavior can be deemed moral or immoral by anyone. Do you agree?

If no behavior can be deemed moral or immoral in an atheist worldview, then absolute morality can only exist within a Christian worldview. Do you agree. If not, why not?

So a global evil atheistic scientist's plot that theistic scientists have also signed up to it is then? Yeah right.

No conspiracy, it is just unintended consequences of the naturalist position.

why do you insist on making up nonsense and, really, just lying?

if.. that is since... you have no actual information on the subject of evolution, certainly nothing to present against it, why not just accept that, and either learn something, or admit you dont have a clue?

I bet you have never met a scientist in your life.

"Has" to be? I'd say it just "is."

Nope, not at all...

Is Christianity the only organized religion on the planet?

Do you actually believe that you're putting real thought into these questions?





Theocrats are Social Darwinists.



Christianity has nothing applicable, appropriate, or worthwhile to offer the 21st century.


He isn't there, which is why he's silent.

Actually, I think the consequences are intended. An understanding of the world/universe.

A sort of natural selection then, but thankfully we have the "unbiased" services of creationists like AiG to point this out to the rest of us.

Doesn't need to, he has the Bible. Back in the day I had the Catholic Church. Same result. No thought or intellectual curiosity needed.
