Bobby,
You already have faith if you believe anything you have never seen is true…I have heard and I accept you into my heart Jesus.
Now you will see for yourself the power of Christ!

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
well have you seen jesus?
i think not
u dun get satire, do you?
Everyone has faith stupid. I have faith the ground won’t turn to dust when i walk on it But that does not mean I belive in a story book wrote thousands of years ago. Ha ha i just realised this guy thinks bobby is jebus! Read the email through again.

Takes his bloody time, Christ, doesn’t he?
Tell me about it, J. I’ve been waiting for years.
RAmen.
can jesus cast fireball or magic missile. i think not. i bet we’ve got more cannons than him too
Ah, another Christian, another demonstration of how faith makes people happy to be stupid. According to the comment, those of us whose refridgerators are powered by nuclear energy keep their food cool by faith. Noone man has ever seen uranium nuclei split with his own eyes, nor will they ever. I would strongly contend that that is knowledge rather than faith (two very different, mutually exclusive things). Or does the poster of the original comment think we should praise nuclear reactors too and that they who work to keep them running are high-priests of nuclear physical faith?
DPG, that sound a lot like Asimov’s Fundation series. There something like that actually happens, and it sounds plausible too.
there is a theory that the thing that originated the big bang was a nuclear explosion. of course, when this theory comes up fundies say “that explosion is god”.

“there is a theory that the thing that originated the big bang was a nuclear explosion. of course, when this theory comes up fundies say “that explosion is god”.”

I’m not too familiar with the Big Bang theory, but how could a nuclear explosion have caused the BB? I thought the temperature just after the BB was too enormously hot even for sub-nuclear particles to stick together and that it took a very short time before even hydrogen could be formed (by letting things cool down far enough for protons to be stable). That would be a problem for the theory you mention, wouldn’t it?
the BB theory states that the universe wasn’t there to begin with. all that was there was a singualrity, a black hole that contained all the mass of the universe. for some reason, it became unstable and exploded. and a nuclear explosion involves fission, and then fusion again. so this theory is possible.
But both fission and fusion require at least protons and neutrons to be stable, as well as at the very least the element helium. With your reply you still require them to be so before the BB. Postulating that stable protons, neutrons and even He were around before the BB contradicts a good deal of the rest of BB theory.

“If everything must have a cause, then God must have a cause. If there can be anything without a cause, it may just as well be the world as God, so that there cannot be any validity in that argument. It is exactly of the same nature as the Hindu’s view, that the world rested upon an elephant and the elephant rested upon a tortoise; and when they said, “How about the tortoise?” the Indian said, “Suppose we change the subject.”" Bertrand Russell, 1927 “Why I am not a Christian”

I’ve never studied much physics so no-one shout at me; I can understand that it’s possible that everything we know as the universe came from this black hole, but a black hole in what?
@TPR - A black hole in the FSM’s baby blanket, obviously! Duh! ;)

Are you still using the “Prestige, 1mm”? I’ve been thinking about moving to Le Creuset - expensive I know but the witches seem to swear by the make!

Don’t worry TPR, we don’t shout at people because of their lack of knowledge concerning physics. When christians distort things, quote mine etc because science blows away their fairy tale beliefs and they therefore want to wish away or discredit scientific knowledge and promote ignorance (in which faith can thrive so well) then we do shout at them. At least I do. Loudly and unapolagetically.
These days we are lucky that the fundies are not in power (yet), if they were, there would be a lot of toasted people around. The fundies have a tendency to get hostile if people do not buy into their particular fairy tale which they are so enamoured with. Which, IMO, shows that they are afraid of exposing their faith (beliefs) to any kind of scrutiny for fear of all the enormous black holes which would show up in them.
.
I too am completely unapologetic and loud in my response to silly ideas. But I am also cognizant of the fact that I am able to do that without fear for my very life. Religion is dangerous, dangerous, dangerous and has shown itself over and over to be a menace to society and to mankind. Richard Dawkins, is correct when he says that it should not be acceptable to raise children as muslims, or catholics or hindus. Children should be protected against the evil influences of religion, not encouraged to accept it with blind faith.

Once that happens what else could they blindly follow? White Supremacy? Book Burning? Eminem? Barney? Burning Witches? etc, etc.
