“You are not understanding the argument.

“When I say a "flickering light" I am not talking about a pulsar or any other naturally caused star.

“Here. Let's say you went outside on a clear evening and looked up at Alpha Centauri A through a telescope.
You noticed it that it's light intensity was changing from normal to very dim at a relatively high frequency.
You recorded this with a video camera at 2000 fps then had someone write a relatively simple image analyzing software to analyze the frames and found that they dark and light *flickers* exactly repeated over a very specific time interval. You had them write software the recoded a 1 bit for every bright timeslice and a 0 for every dark timeslice.

“They wrote this to a binary file. They put a .mpg on the end. They double clicked and it opened as an mpeg movie showing Alpha Centauri A up close and personal right were it was supposed to be relative to the other stars around it. It showed a nice little planet orbiting and zoomed in to show nice little aliens just like on ET the movie. They waved at us.

“Given this hypothetical scenario. Everyone would call that solid EVIDENCE of intelligent life. Everyone would conclude that the *flicker* could not have occurred through natural cases but must have **necessarily** been caused by intelligence.

“That is the point.

Do you agree?

Absolutely not. Where is this MPG file you keep speaking of? You keep saying it is EVIDENCE. Where is this evidence?

Got it. You are just a liar. You have been lying all along. Everything you posted in that Original OP was a lie. It was just a made up fantasy so you can TROLL.

Your frustrated because you

Your frustrated because you still get your porn from a magazine. They have one or two porn sites on the internet these days. Sound. Video. The whole works.

@Cognostic said it was on the coffee table. CLEARLY, that was the guest porn mag.

Yea, but my mommy took my computer away from me for calling you a dumb fuck. Better that than being banned by the mods. She said I should apologize. People can't always help the stupid stuff they believe.... "I'm sorry."

Randomhero1982: Too late. I'm kinda liking this thing. Neon orange. Glows in the dark. Amazing sense of power and virility. I've been thinking of swinging from the trees in the local park. In fact, I feel more like a Baboon than a Chimp. UNLEASH THE WILD!!!

What kind of weed did you smoke?

I ain't going to bother reading the rest. Your OP is not worthy of reply. At least not from me.

Oh, you might want to post that OP on sci-fi authors site.

Then you ain't seen my brain yet. It is about as wicked and dirty as can be from years of listening to Religious Absolutists like you. As for the ignorance part, only you seem to be practicing both just like a Religious Absolutist.

From what I have seen of your postings, I would guess you are a 13, 14 year old just playing troll. Just enough intelligence to browse the web and get your data from apologist and pseudoscience WWW sites.

hey look there is no

hey look there is no reasoning nor any argument in your post

not surprising since, by your own admission, you have no need to read any further cause you know it all.

Sounds like unspoken axiom #1 speaking to us loud and clear. Thanks for proving my point. yet again.

and what does anyones age have to do with logic and reasoning? Nothing. Unless of course logic and reasoning are irrelevant. By your replies I'm guessing they are not your strong suit but hey, not everyone can use reasoning.

@ sourcecodemigraine

That is due to the fact that reasoning, logic, rationality, cogitation, comprehension, and my favorite, mental penetration, is beyond your abilty.

not surprising since, by your own admission, you have no need to read any further cause you know it all.

Compared to you, I know at least infinitely more than you do.

Da nada. I love proving my point. Get it?

Well, you are showing the intellectual integrity of a child in Junior High School who is skipping classes to go trolling on the WWW. And remember, you are the one who said logic and reasoning are irrelevant, for you evidently. It is a little demandingly problematic to use reasoning for one who seems to have none.

Ta-Ta. ***big syrupy tree smooch***

I don't know what you THINK you have, but whatever "hard ammo" you believe you are packing actually makes spitballs look like depleted uranium.

I can play at any level

No, no, you cannot, play with yourself, certainly. I should imagine you win most debates with a mirror. At any intellectual level above that displayed in your posts, which are certainly barely High School Graduation level; Nope. I doubt that claim as much as your claim for a jesus.

I must admit you are outstanding in one way, I have never seen anyone before who can display such a comprehensive lack of knowledge, logic and humor, as you do, yet still remain almost maniacally proud of their achievements. Well done.

"I believe the existence of

"I believe the existence of evil by an omnipotent, totally benevolent creator can be explained by the following Christian principles:"

"1)God knows how to make it all better. When it is over everyone will agree it is worth it."

It's worth it? How is suffering from evil acts in this life worth it? Imagine two people:

Your average middle class, never-hurt-anyone, father of two lovely kids
A rape victim

Both of them accepted Jesus as their savior, attended church regularly, kept all of God's laws until they died. Now my interpretation of Christian theology is they get the same reward: eternal life and the ticket into heaven to hang out with God.

If that's correct, then how did the rape victim's experience become "worth it"? How are any of the acts of evil people "worth it"? What if this evil act turned the victim away from religion? Is the loss of that person's faith "worth it"?

Yes it's a screwed up world.

Yes it's a screwed up world. Duh.

But you hit the nail on the head when you said "Acts of evil people". God is not doing the screwed up stuff. Evil people are.

Imagine that you, yourself built a really cool video game totally realistic with pain receptor and memory wipe. Suppose you wrote the whole thing in 2020 and built all the hardware yourself. In the game you allowed people an open physics world to build and live as they chose. So then if a bunch of idiots decided to do some really screwed up stuff and sued you do you think that would be fair? Is it your fault or theirs?

I don't care whose fault it

I don't care whose fault it is. I don't care who did it. I didn't say God was responsible.

This is from your OP:

"I believe the existence of evil by an omnipotent, totally benevolent creator can be explained by the following Christian principles:
1)God knows how to make it all better. When it is over everyone will agree it is worth it."

Now, it is your claim that God knows how to fix all the evil in the world. It is your claim that our enduring all this evil will be worth it.

Now I'm going to try again.

One person suffers immensely from the evil acts of whomever.
One person has a wonderful life full of on-demand fellatio and Firefly Seasons 2-9

Both people receive the same exact reward from God.

How was the suffering "worth it"? What good came out of the evil acts? You claimed in your OP that we will all agree it was worth it. How was it worth it?

sourcecodewizzard's picture
That it will all be worth it

That it will all be worth it when it is over is the teaching and the justification of evil, yes.

Same reward? no. Since many who are first will be last we know that there is some societal order in the world to come just like there is today. The basis of who is rewarded and how much are based upon the choices we make in this world using a system that is beyond any of our comprehension. Everyone will, however, understand that fairness of their reward or punishment since everything will be laid out for everyone to see....when it is over. Right now it is still testing time so much is hidden.
