My argument was that just because we do not understand how to do something now does not mean it is necessarily impossible.

The debate question is do you think it is possible. I responded with evidence showing that it is unlikely. That being said, I would change my mind if new evidence is presented.

I will admit that at the current situation it is entirely unknown. I will assume that time travel is talking about time travelling to the past. That being said time travel could be possible in the way we are current traveling 1 second per 1 second, gravitational time dilation, and other means. That being said time travel to the past suffers from many paradoxes such as the grandfather paradox, predestination paradox, and more. It is possible that a parallel universe could allow for it but no such evidence for one exists. Again, it is highly theoretical but under our current understanding of the universe, time travel seems to be impossible at least in a single universe. That being said science is about changing our ideas and I might change my opinion if the existence of multiple universes is confirmed or supported by a significant amount of evidence.

That being said, none/few evidence at the moment supports the multiverse theory which would be most likely necessary for it to work. Although, it may be possible and we simply haven't discovered that it could incur in a single-universe. Although, few solutions have been answered. That being said I saw a possible solution to the grandfather paradox using quantum mechanics that you can read in the link below.

Also, as I thought the question was trolling I simply stated my opinion and moved on as it had a high chance of getting deleted. I posted my arguments on the other argument.

Why, does it offend your moral sensibilities?

Yes? Not sure why this got downvoted? His actions did not increase utility, I personally disagree with him on moral absolutionism grounds as well. Did you downvote me?

My point is you are saying the Biblical creators purposely painted the God of the Bible evil? This makes no sense as the Bible paints the God of the Bible as good. (Psalm 100:5) There is no Bible verse that states that God is evil. That is all I am stating. Is that what you meant?

He posted in the description the following that makes me think he isn't.

"I think killing innocent Jewish people was a very wrong thing Hitler had done."

Umm... I think this question answered itself...

How so? It is possible that some only survive in zoos.

I'm not entirely sure of that. If so, it does raise the question on why he choose the non-offending side.

I don't think this should even be a question....

Reintroduction

Don't disagree

rehabilitation centers

Such as?

and the extraction of the sources causing the extinction

Fair enough

What about species that are extinct in the wild?

Doesn't matter, you said that Abraham would never kill his son, you are wrong.

I did say that, that being said

So, God condemns killing your son,

and asks people to kill their son. So, you are wrong, God does ask people to do things He condemns.

It was a test of faith again. (Genesis 22:1) He knew he was going to return with Issac. (Hebrews 11:17–19) Although we don't know the full meaning behind the text it is possible God was testing other things such as knowing God's morality and other things. It is still incredibly inaccurate to say that God wanted Issac to die. That doesn't mean you should hear a voice and your head and start killing people.

Is this supposed to be a zen koan?

Not sure what Zen Buddhism has to do with this?

negation

I'm confused.

From a Gallup poll. The actual number was 19% and I rounded to 20%. Although to be fair Atheists support abortion more then religious members. Although it still would be inaccurate to call 1 in 5 Atheists "very very few".

That is exactly my point so there is no reason the Bible would paint God as evil.

Returning from the dead means he still killed Isaac. Plus, we do know because it says it right there.

He was going to do it, but he knew God was going to step in at some point.

He condemns killing your son.

Yes he does.

20% of Atheists is "very very very few"?

1 point

Right, and it was. He fully planned to kill Isaac then.

We don't know that and it is possible that he thought Issac would return from the dead. (Ahem)

He would have left him at the altar and explained away his son later.

So a God who condemns lying would tell him to lie?

I didn't ask Abraham if he was going to kill his son. Plus, I wouldn't admit I was going to kill my son either. I would say something like "hey go on ahead, we'll catch up"

It would be highly like that it would be talked about in the text.

I would say something like "hey go on ahead, we'll catch up"

So Abraham is simply going to take the dead body of the boy and no one is going to say anything with stab marks?

1 point

What exactly is your point?

That Abraham knew a substitute was coming.

Starchild has not said anything about knowing there will be a substitute.

I know, but it seems likely to be what she was referring about.

The only people who are against are Christian radicals/terrorists...

There are non-Christians who are non-terrorists who happen to oppose abortion.

god made AIDS for a reason so he obviously wants us to be like a man and a woman

AIDS infects the straight community as well. It in part has spread so well in the homosexual population due to the fact that anal sex spreads the disease much easier then vaginal sex and other kinds of sex. The odds are roughly this. If you want sources to back it up I could show you.

Oral Sex- Same as having oral sex

Vaginal Sex-10x easier to get then oral sex

Anal Sex- 50x easier to get then anal sex
