...and who was (is) this smart aleck kid?

Atheist Prof Meets Believing Kid

bless his "study" of tangible things: speed of light, mass, energy.....

some thoughts for believers:

--Question: Did God "reward" this little one later in life by giving him unparalleled powers of inquiry, mathematics, theories, and knowledge just because this child "stood up" for Him just as King Solomon was blessed?



...just askin'...

Well....  I guess that he showed that Teacher!

These days, most Teachers would recognize where the kid was going with his argument, interrupt the kid, and send him to the Principals office, where he would be suspended in short order.

Outstanding BNA. I wonder if it's the reason another supposedly great scientist, Steven Hawkins, is crippled the way he is since he's an atheist.

Actually it's the perfect place to put it. In G.D. it would bring out the basement morons that think owning a black rifle makes them a big shot and tough guy and that God isn't important. Should you troll there instead of here.

Great video!

No real proof this ever happened. With that said it doesn't prove anything. The idea of God isn't a Christian only concept. If you believe this it's just as much a proof for Islam as it is what ever flavor of belief you follow.


For example the quote:






I have a feeling this isn't the idea of God for most Arfcommers. If God did reward him it what does it say about your current ideals?

Lets see if I can do this.When question about God and religion on behalf of an aged Talmudic scholar, Einstein replied:

   It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropomorphic concept which I cannot take seriously. I feel also not able to imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. My views are near to those of Spinoza: admiration for the beauty of and belief in the logical simplicity of the order and harmony which we can grasp humbly and only imperfectly. I believe that we have to content ourselves with our imperfect knowledge and understanding and treat values and moral obligations as a purely human problem — the most important of all human problems.

Whether the video is real or not fairly illustrates Einsteins belief in God. I believe Einsteins and Spinoza's beliefs are similar to anyone that believes God created the universe and all things in it. Most people choose a denomination that best represents their beliefs.

I disagree. Believing in Spinoza's God would contradict the OP and many here. I don't recall seeing anyone here post about having faith in a god that is done with creation.

Then I misunderstood Spinoza. He seemed to believe, and maybe I interpret it wrong, that God is eternal and infinite and with an ontological view of nature. To me if it is infinite then it is never ending and if it's eternal then it's everlasting. Such as God, Jesus Christ, and all that God created. Evolution has not stopped, even though it's misdirected as such.

God tends to distingush himself from creation in the bible.  He does not define himself as part of it, and in many cases is decribed as taking actions that would violate natural law, which would only make sense if he operates at a level beyond those laws.  The universe as god is an old religion, but not easily connected to the God of the bible without largely ignoring important aspects of God described in the bible.

I think eventually science will prove the existence of God.



Along the lines of this young mans argument... evil is the absence of God.  Take this further, all evil stems from us desiring to BE GOD.





 

Great post. Thanks Angelfire.

IN!

Isn't that just as much proof of the gods Boga and His five brother-gods? Why just one god, or any particular god(s)?
