Atheists, Agnostics, and all Non-Believers.
Why do Oranges, Apples, Bananas, and Peaches taste good?
How do trees know to produce fruit that taste good, so as people and animals will eat it, and spread their seeds? How would a tree even know there would be any animals to eat their fruit?
If you answer Nature, who made Nature?
Why does it have to taste good? Why not taste super bad? Ahd why do we taste anything?
What is my point? You say there is no higher power, I say there is.

Just as I thought, just a bunch of childish answers.. You can't even answer a simple question,

Part of the problem is the old apples and orange tang concept.
If there were no oranges, would Tang have been created?
Yet apple juice still tastes pretty darn good, even tho I myself prefer a good Chai tea, which I've been able to get a decent one from where my wife works.
However, what the problem here is the idea of God is an idea of faith, and more a personal matter of belief. Evolution is a scientific concept, which is a theory created to explain the concepts of fossils, little rocks that look like rocks, but used to be bones.
Now these two things have very little to do with one another, since God is a concept that man uses to explain who we are, and evolution is just a theory to explain where some rocks came from.
The problem is taking these ideas out of context, and trying to use the idea of God to explain the rocks, and evolution to explain who we are.
Everything has it's value, if it's kept in a proper context, with some perspective of utility.

Not everyone thinks that oranges, apples, bananas and peaches do taste good.
You don't say that there is a higher power. You claim that there is one. You simply repeat, without critical thought, what you have been brainwashed to believe. You can claim anything that you want, but claiming it doesn't make it so.
This is my biggest single problem with organized religion - that it stifles critical thought.
And, by the way, I am NOT a non-believer. I do believe in the existence of a Supreme Being of some type, whatever you chose to call or not call such a being. I believe because I don't believe in coincidence at a cosmic level. But I don't believe in organized religion.

Okay...his argument is flimsy. But the real truth is the fact that if you just read the bible that's where all the answers are. And believing isn't always seeing...you don't see oxygen but you know it's there...we could go on and on with that argument. And there is only ONE higher power and that would be God. And if some of you had read the bible you would know that falls under the 10 commandments....Here's what I don't get from people that are atheist or agnostic....what does it hurt you to believe?? Does it just tear you up inside to be nice and to live your life right?? If you do live that way....why not believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins?? Why not want to go to heaven? I don't get it. But hey....I know where I'm going when I die. :)

There are lots of trees that taste bad or even poison-is. You only pick four good ones out of hundreds of fruit bering trees.

the tree doesn't need to know anything--if the fruit doesn't taste good, nothing will eat it, spread the seeds, and the plant will die out--if the fruit tastes good, animals and people will eat the fruit and spread the seeds and the plant will survive, thus the law of survival of the fittest--and not all fruits are edible by humans, try birdberries sometime--take a Jr. high school science class while you're at it

I'm Agnostic, That's all great. Evolution explains your 'Tastes good rant'. But trying to explain that to you so you would believe it would be next to imposable. So I'll just say this lets say there is a god. That doesn't mean that your god is the true god now does it
I believe in god, I'm Agnostic, I just don't believe in your god. Really If the world is only a few thousand years old explain Fossils?

Well, whats the deal with pinapples?
As many nice things there are in the world there are also not-so-nice things. And until you try to explain why or how you exactly know who this creator of the Universe is, we are going nowhere in this discussion.

I am sure the reason yahoo stopped you in the past, and will stop you again if they notice you, is that you are asking 10 questions instead of one, all of which show a terribly limited intelligence. Typical of a religious zealot.

Why would the cycle of life be necessary if there is a higher power.Why would a higher power need the cycle of life when it could simply create it from nothingness and return it to nothingness when its purpose has been served
