trinityvixenJust goes to show who's got money for those links in Gmail: www.wonderfulworldtomorrow.org.
The PDF of "Why Were You Born?" is really an ID argument in disguise. It's a pretty pathetic disguise.
1) Look closely at the first page of the PDF and at date it was written: 1957. Had we even had the Scopes trial by then?
2) It's so out of date, there's still focus on nuclear war and the imminent threat of WWIII (it's eerie, however, the similarities of the threat of nuclear war has to the threat of terrorism, but most of us were aware of that already, methinks).
3) It refers to "the late Winston Churchill," who has been dead for decades.
4) IT CALLED THE EATING OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE IN GENESIS THE FIRST SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT Me = explode.
5) No really, check this out:
"And how did they do it? They 1) rejected revelation, 2) used observation, 3) used experimentation, and 4) used human reason. And that is precisely the “scientific” method used by modern science today!
And the result of that experiment? THEY DIED! They produced the first child delinquent, the fi rst criminal and murderer! The most VITAL dimension of knowledge was MISSING from their “scientific” procedure!
Now, me = really exploded.
6) It reads like a sermon, or a rally, not anything like a pro's literary work. There are single sentence breaks that ask rhetorical questions, like the guy was fapping himself really hard at that point and was close to ejaculating all over the place with happy, stressed italics, but it slipped away from him. So he went back to the longer paragraphs, the steadier base-to-tip rhythm until he can get to the single-sentence oh-so-close-oh-my-Lord-I-am-getting-it-I-am! bits.
7) He takes gravity for granted but questions the science that tells him he evolved from dirt? You cannot pick and choose your sciences. The method is the same, yo, and if you've got a problem with the method (he says science is never going to "get it" while it misses the point that revelation in God is the end of all knowledge), you've got a problem with all science.
8) Check it out! Christ was a white dude!!!
And what does Christ look like, now?
His appearance is described in Revelation 1:14-16: “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow;
I bet he totally spoke English, too.
9) I take it back--that whole masturbation analogy thing in #7. He totally comes all over the place with his heading titles. Just spurts forth with every randomly capitalized word in a sentence.
10) By the end, he concludes: Now Understand Why You Were Born!
Do you really grasp it? The purpose of your being alive is that finally you be born into the Kingdom of God, which is the divine FAMILY of God.
Soooo.....God made me that I might be made in his Kingdom? Was there another option? Couldn't I have been part of that Thedan thing that all the really cool kids think they're made of?

Date: 2006-03-29 09:01 pm (UTC)This is some of the best reasoning I've ever seen in my life. I want to invent a time machine so that I can go back and shake this person's hand and cause problems with his belief system (as per time travel). Seriously, where did he come up with this shit?
The late Winston Churchill would be upset.
