Looks like the game hasn't sold out and you can still get tickets through the ticket office: http://ev11.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS%3AILLINOIS%3AF10%3A03%3A&linkID=illinois&shopperContext=&caller=&appCode=

But only if the recipient had no descendents (James Heselden had children). It's an automatic disqualification if you pass on your genetic defects before you off yourself.

If God created the entire universe solely for our benefit, he went way overboard. The universe existed for billions of years before humans evolved, then we show up for just a fraction of the lifetime of the universe, and finally we'll be long gone and the universe will still exist for billions...

As I wrote before, I'm open to the possibility that a god created the universe but it would be a bit presumptuous to assume that god also intended to create humans. It's not like humans have any significance in this enormous universe and regardless of whether or not there is a creator of the...

I read the review and it's an interesting concept. I'm not atheistic to the idea of a Creator; I think it's unlikely, but I'm open to the possibility. However this book isn't an argument for a personal god (the God of the Bible) which is the god that I think most Americans believe in and the one...

And if that's truly what you believe then more power to you as I'm sure that gives you great comfort. But I believe that when I die, that's it - my existence ends and there's no afterlife. I confess that sometimes your scenario would be more preferable to me, but that doesn't make it any more...

Causation only attributable to God? Nothing.

And everything in my experience says that gods are a figment of man's imagination. Supernatural causes are not needed to explain what we experience in everyday life or observe in the universe. Humans are still ignorant of many things in the universe, but nothing we've observed so far can only be...

Now don't go all Aristotle on me. :tongue2: It's a simple question: If God created the universe(s), then what created God? And if you answer that God has always existed, then why not accept that the universe(s) have always existed which is a simpler answer than invoking one more step and the...

If you're going to use God as the answer to the First Cause argument, then you also need to explain how God came to be otherwise you haven't explained anything. If you need a Creator, then you need a Creator for that Creator ad infinitum. And didn't Steven Hawking propose in the early 70's...

Why would you want to?

Mmmmmm...such heavenly delights. Almost makes me believe that some divine intervention must be involved...almost. :wink2:

Well in my experience, dogmatic belief in something based on faith falls in the crazy spectrum.

The term "religious" covers a broad spectrum of beliefs, but yep - in general I think most religious people are Bat-Poop Crazy. :D

But Robertson shares the same values and beliefs as a large percentage of the population even though he may not be their religious leader (beliefs such as natural disasters are caused by God, that we are a Christian nation and those beliefs should permeate government and public schools, etc.)...

Here's what it looks like. Apparently a fix came out on Xbox Live today: Modern Warfare 2 "Javelin" Fix Comes Friday - Xbox YouTube - Modern Warfare 2 Javelin Glitch plus Tutorial (HD) I'm not sure if they fixed the Unlimited Airdrop Glitch yet: YouTube - Modern Warfare 2 - Unlimited...

And if there were consistent evidence between various fields in science supporting a universe that appeared in 6 days, I would also accept that. But no such evidence exists so I don't.

If the universe took several hundred million years to expand, is 14 billion old and humans evolved from a common ancestor with apes, would that invalidate God?

A scientific theory is not a guess or hypothesis. It is an explanation of facts, observances and evidence. A theory remains an theory forever and never becomes a law or is accepted with 100% certainty. But evolution is as equally supported as atomic theory, or the germ theory of disease or the...

Well if you can't recognize the significance of this find then I'm not sure if you really understand how rare fossils are to begin with, and how extremely rare nearly complete individuals are. And this is one of those "missing link" species that Creationists say don't exist. And it's 47 million...
