Au contraire, jireh. You can't claim a different moral example from jeebus, rather than god. Because under the doctrine of trinity, they are considered as one and the same:

As a follower, you are aware of this doctrine, aren't you???

Basically, because of it, if your god provides no moral example or leadership, because it doesn't follow its own commands, then neither can jeebus. Unless, of course, you wish to now claim that jeebus contradicts your god, in this matter?

And I repeat: you just said that your god isn't subject to, and doesn't follow, its own moral commands. No different to your average despot, is it? Do as I say, don't do as I do.

So, I reiterate: are you admitting that your god, and all of its appendages, is in no position to provide moral example or leadership to humans, despite them allegedly being created in its own image?

Jireh, got any evidence for this irreducible complexity? What's next? specified complexity?

and here's a link to a well written and accessible article on the very subject for jireh to ignore.

Mind you, jireh is well aware of the work showing that the universal constants can vary quite considerably, even to the extent of removing the weak electromagnetic force altogether and still result in a universe capable of producing suns and higher elements and therefore life. He's had it pointed out to him on numerous occasions.

You should have done so then. It's apparent that you didn't have a closer look.

A truer word you have not provided jireh. You and the public faces of the ID and Creationist lies for god campaign have never proven a single iota of what you are asserting. All you are capable of saying is goddidit disguised in pseudo-scientific bullshit.

it seems you did not understand my rebuttal. If there were physical need the constants to be set to create life, then there would be simply life on all imaginable planets, since the physical constants would all be set to permit life. Obviously that is not the case, therefore the objections of infidels is nonsense.

yes, correct. But it was not done because they were canaanites, but because of their sins.

I really do not care Jireh, your monsterous, yet piss weak god can blow me before I will accept It's existence. You on the other hand accept her and appear to want to emulate her or at least, blindly follow her down the Anders Breiverik path. I choose to be better.

i guess its easyer if you want to understand my position , to read Craigs answer to your point entirely.
