I said this ..."IF Common Descent is true, then there is no need for a Creator"
and you quoted me as saying this ...
"There couldn't possibly be a God, heaven, he##,and common descent?
BIG, BIG difference. Think about it. |
YOU'RE the one who said it, not me! YOU claimed that IF CD is true, then there is no need for a Creater, AND then there is no heaven, no ####, no afterlife, etc. I quoted your exact words, only snipping out some intermediate sentences that didn't change your meaning at all. Here, I'll quote the entire passage this time:
Quote (afdave @ May 12 2006,11:58) | The bottom line, of course, is ...
IF Common Descent is true, then there is no need for a Creator. Humans are free to believe in one, or pretend there is one, or whatever. None of the 'God talk' really matters much and those who don't care to participate in 'God think' are free to leave 'Him' completely out of their thoughts and discussions. There is no afterlife, no heaven, no ####, no judgment for actions in this life, and the best we can do is live in harmony with our fellow man and have a good time until we die. And when we die, that's the end of the story. |
That is a clear claim on your part that IF commond descent is true, THEN there is no afterlife, no heaven, and so on. Which is clearly a logical non sequitur. Yet you seem to think it's true "of course."
If that's not what you really mean, then I suggest you retract it. You might also try to express yourself more clearly in the future. And, you might stop chastising others for 'faulty' logic when you clearly are much more deficient in that area yourself.
