When people are convinced they're nothing but animals, they act like animals.
God is our foundation is the truth, BTW.
> God is our foundation is the truth, BTW.
Do you have any convincing arguments that this is indeed the case?
Of course not, because they don't exist.
Of course I do.
Life didn't spring from rocks. Whales and bananas didn't evolve from a single cell.
We never observe one kind becoming another. God created humans. They didn't evolve from a common ancestor with monkeys.
Wow, you really know NOTHING about science, do you? BTW, none of those are "arguments." They're just false claims with nothing to support them.
What is your claim about how the universe began and how life on Earth began?
Those aren't arguments I made. Those are facts.
Find a pen that made itself. If a simple pen can't make itself, then a cell that's thousands of times more complex than a pen can't make itself, much less a life that's trillions of cells working together.
<shakes head sadly>
Yes, smart people LOL out loud at you, not with you.
If you found a pen on the ground, you'd agree it was created. Life is far more complex than a pen is, yet many think life came from rocks.
The universe is infinitely more complex than a pen, yet many think the universe exploded from nothing, nowhere, never.
Complex things have creators. The creation proves a creator.
What if they're discovering the creation might be fake? Did the creation create itself like the blue dude in Watchmen?
Who is they?
The creator is outside the creation. The guy who invented the computer isn't inside the computer.
Evilutionism holds that life created itself from nothing.
Creation truth accepts that there was a creator.
Sometimes I wonder.

This is incredibly naive and simplistic. The truth is that if you believe that God is on your side, you are capable of committing any crime necessary to whatever ends you attribute to him, as we've seen throughout history. Belief in God is not the only foundation of morality and in many cases can be a twisted foundation of total immorality and genocide.

True, but potentially misinformative (a vague term, and used as such for appropriateness).
Replace God with most any ideology or methodology and it is also true.
God is on everybody's side.
A person who goes to crime and evil when God is mentions - the Ten Commandments are for you.

Very interesting. Can you point to other foundations of morality?
Start here and read the whole page.
A more accurate link in response to my question would have been this.
Regardless, thanks for your response.
