Wow...you go way back up and cite creation magazine as it that discredits a legitimate quote. I wasn't even sure it was there. But it is. And no I don't read creation magazine. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Francis_Crick

Well, [b]I don't suffer foolishness & ignorance[/b]...it's a waste of my time.[/quote]

Modern psychology calls this projection -- perhaps the Bible has a name for it too.

This discussion has highlighted how faulty thinking can contribute to religious belief, but it's also become quite psychologically complex and has gone far beyond its original focus. This thinking  is not typical of  all deeply religious people, many of whom have a simple faith that sustains them.

I wouldn't call this conversation a waste of time, bur rather a conversation that has gone off track and can no longer serve a useful purpose.[/quote]

When a person ignores factual information, as you did with Crick's beliefs...and with other points...there is no longer a purpose in continuing. Hence my remark about suffering foolishness and ignorance. So what does a person who wants to continue to project...plenty of that on your part throughout the exchange...do when they are confronted with something they can't deal with...ignore...deflect...anything but acknowledge.

Faulty thinking? Well, I believe in God, I guess you don't...now...that being the case then each can believe the other is guilty of faulty beliefs.

You have attempted to declare a gotcha more than once...problem is...with each challenge...your gotcha's...got ya. Make me feel good? Nope...not at all. I prefer a give and take, not attempts at gotchas or declarative statements. For me...I ask to learn, And I share as a part of that learning...and when wrong...knowledge being as important to me as it is...I don't mind admitting it,

BTW...as to learning...my posting on this thread challenging anyone to give me verses in the bible that says...God has a plan...or that our lives are dictated by a plan...was done because I would like to know as I haven't seen that to be the case. Is it a platitude? Or is it real?

"Information is not knowledge." 
Albert Einstein

“I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led.” 
? Thomas Jefferson

Like TJ...I don't fear what I might find in the pursuit of knowledge. Such a pursuit led me to understand that there is no eternal punishment by hell fire.

I wish you a vigorous pursuit of knowledge.[/quote]
