BoatShoes;1603288 wrote:It is laughable to have somebody who teaches his children that a drunk carried baby dinosaurs onto a ship to avoid being slaughtered by an anthropomorphic God would even have the audacity to mention logic and reason. The passing mention of behemoth in a mythical story overwhelms decades of empirical investigation for you. Your entire understanding of the world embodies the pinnacle of fallacious reasoning. Your whole epistemology is detached from the foundation of reality.

Young Earth Creationists are not worthy of logical argument. Life is too short. You believe nonsense that has been proven wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt. Hope this helps. It cannot even be entertained as remotely plausible or otherwise you might begin to believe that your beliefs are something other than completely unjustified and desperate wishful thinking. I will be cordial with your terrible political arguments but reasonable minds can disagree on matters of political economy. Reasonable minds cannot be Young Earth Creationists and so they should not be met with reasoned discourse. The only way that Young Earth Creationism is true is if Descartes' Evil Demon is deceiving us all.

And I answered the God question. Asiety. He exists outside of the time and space we exist in. And we know this because He is something other than His creation. Time, chance, and space are not causal agents. It takes something more.

My nothing to something line isn't stated to be cute. It is exactly what you believe.

jmog;1603277 wrote:So you are contradicting yourself from your previous post then? You said that ignorance is being cured by internet exposure. Now that some data is provided as a contradiction it is changed to "well, ignorance will take a long time to cure"

And you say religious people just "change their mind when it suits them".

With that in mind, I would do my best to attack the cause. That would be the least costly, and most direct way. At least, in my mind it would be.

Con_Alma;1603491 wrote:First, have the respective person's own blood cells eradicated with radiation and powerful chemotherapy. Then perform a bone marrow transplant inclusive of a genetic mutation that is resistant to the HIV infection. Right now that's your best bet.

sleeper;1603510 wrote:I think you should express your findings to the AMA.

The point of this exercise is that we don't know the cure for AIDS just like we don't know how the universe was created. Most believers will claim that they aren't sure how AIDS is cured or clearly state THERE IS NO CURE; which is interesting because while they go through a logical progression to determine that reality. However, with their belief system, there is no logical progression. Religious belief is a poison of the mind that only knowledge and freedom can cure and even that might not be enough.

Con_Alma;1603514 wrote:The AMA knows you goof. That's There's no cure for any virus however AIDs has been cured in one person by eradicating the virus. Where do you think I got the info from??

The problem is identifying the rare genetic mutation that makes a person resistant to HIV after the transplant.

I'll look for the info on the guy who was "cured".

It is Only Christ that will provide that provides the freedom that is eternal.

The man cured of AIDs is named Timothy Ray Brown.

Con_Alma I'm betting when you get sick you go to the doctor rather than just praying to be cured. Convenient.

Con_Alma;1603538 wrote:I would personally do both as opposed to just one.

The doctor uses medicine derived from the logic of science and research; which is entirely antithetical to religious belief

Just another example of another of one of your erroneous assumptions interspersed among your gross generalizations.
