I only want answers to some of those questions I sent your way.I understand. It's a theological fishing expidition. I've learned to recognize those, and choose not to participate.

Most people will believe in God until they become immortal. Only one way to achieve Life Everlasting.

What evasive answers? I’ve been direct. All your replies have been pure sophistry and evasion.
BTW, that reply of yours is another argumentum ad hominem.
To: Sawdring
This statement means what?

The buttons you are attempting to push have been disabled.

Just answer the questions.

You play dumb pretty good, but not good enough. I’ve seen this script played out too many times.

With all due respect, you’re coming across as very paranoid. You are seeing “scripts” where none exist, never mind loaded questions where there are none.
To: Olog-hai
I'm a veteran of he crevo wars. I know a hunting party when I see one.
As far as the loaded questions go, that appears to be getting dragged in from another thread. Bad practice, that.

Scientists do have to define what they mean when the use a word to represent something. For instance they have to define whether a particle is pointlike or spread out in order to determine its properties and to do accurate calculations
(point-like particles are treated as points as a fudge factor although they have to occupy space by definition, and the word accurate is being abused again)
Virtual particles are used in quantum mechanics to come up with the most precise calculations and predictions in science
(IOW, fudging the math by creating standards that may not exist)
Scientists maneuver through the world just as we do, but being more formal about it with definitions and powerful instruments to improve the senses (scientific instruments do not have any effect on human senses)
You're jumping to conclusions, making things up, or just plain ignorant. I'm not sure which one, but I'm pretty sure you're an unreliable source for judging science (personal attacks; which is DU/liberal fare)
I guess two can play at the same game. But honestly, I find it a pyrrhic victory and am saddened by your efforts to demean the level of conversation.
To: tacticalogic
What "hunting party"? You solicited me with the left-wing rhetoric. "Crevo wars" only exist in the mind of those that hate the notion of instantaneous creation, then as now.
To: Olog-hai
Over the past few centuries, science can be said to have gradually chipped away at the traditional grounds for believing in God. Much of what once seemed mysteriousthe existence of humanity, the life-bearing perfection of Earth, the workings of the universecan now be explained by biology, astronomy, physics and other domains of science.
Although cosmic mysteries remain, Sean Carroll, a theoretical cosmologist at the California Institute of Technology, says there's good reason to think science will ultimately arrive at a complete understanding of the universe that leaves no grounds for God whatsoever.
It sounds like something of the intellectual depth characteristic of Yahoo News/LiveScience.com.

To: tacticalogic
Why not? Your very use of the term (along with your throwing in another ad hominem just now) declares a one-sided viewpoint as well as a desire to “start” such “wars” all over again. Especially manifested in your original reply to the thread.
To: Olog-hai
I don’t see anything wrong with my original reply to the thread that wasn’t wrong with the post it was in response to. You simply got answered in kind.

Try being objective versus subjective, then.
To: Olog-hai
My response was no less objective than the post I replied to.
