Debates

This was an interesting debate series by ABC.  This debate was really funny in parts.  Man, people believe stupid things.  This Bishop needs to get off his 'I am damaged by fundamentalism' soapbox, and he has a very small God.  Deepak is an idiot.

Here's my favorite Deepak quote:

'There are forces of creativity and forces of entropy and there's tension between them.  IF you only had evolutionary forces the universe would rapidly burn itself up and disappear into the heat death of absolute zero. If there were only destructive forces the universe would rapidly collapse into a black hole, before you could say 'Jesus Christ'.'  (-5:17) from face-off 9.

-Could he have added any more abstract, BS, quasi-scientific terminology in there.  Why don't you just say 'The universe would implode into an atom moving twice the speed of light in orbit of a blah...blah...blah...'

I'm glad I don't put my faith in science as science only reveals what limited knowledge we know.  I'm not saying that science is bad, science gives us a peek into how God made things work.  But if you glorify the creation (and how it works) and not the Creator, you're focusing on the wrong thing.  The funny thing is, what has science afforded us?  Are we really better off with all our technology?  We still fight, we're not any more 'enlightened' than any other time and God knows we're the most advanced, and we still have many wars.  (I know many will say war is caused by religion and especially people 'in the name of Christ' but people who kill in the name of Christ have a small view of God)  God is good and he wants you to choose Him over this world and yourself.  This is not a lie, that's all he wants out of us.  He wants us to believe Him which really benefits us more than any other thing on this planet (or universe).


Driscoll stepped it up and was calm and sharp.  Nice.
