[01:18] <phileo> The nature of truth is that it cannot 
be a contradition
[01:18] <phileo> Either something is or is not TRUE
[01:18] <Achimoth> i think thats the proper term
[01:18] <Acolyte> Cassidy relic says hullo

[01:21] <^aa^> BBL

[01:21] <Cassidy_> bear...perhaps what you believe is 
false for you, true?

Democracy
[01:21] <Lon_Amigo> amen Paul

[01:23] Dizi (cysmic@cysmic.u-net.com) left #Apologetics.
[01:23] <Paul> Can you prove it bear?
[01:23] Xristian (Micah@ppp137.ihug.co.nz) left #apologetics.
[01:23] <Bear> can you disprove it
[01:23] <Paul> Im not the one making the claim you are
[01:23] <phileo> is 1 = 1 right or wrong?
[01:23] <Acolyte> Paul very good
[01:23] <Lon_Amigo> If you cant agree that the Truth 
is absolute and not relative, theres not much point 
in going further.
[01:23] <Bear> actually cassidy first made the claim
[01:23] Action: Acolyte pins a medal on Paul
[01:23] <Cassidy_> bear...tell me...can everything that 
posesses a truth value be true for one person and false 
for another?
[01:23] <Paul> Why LOn?
[01:23] Merrin (exxcella@aladdin.bc.ca) joined #Apologetics.
[01:24] <phileo> I agree amigo
[01:24] <Merrin> hello
[01:24] <Bear> it might
[01:24] <Acolyte> hullo merrin
[01:24] <Acolyte> bear it might?
[01:24] <Acolyte> bear and aliens MIGHt love grilled 
cheese sandwiches too, SO?
[01:24] <Cassidy_> bear...what claim? Im willing to defend 
it.
[01:24] <phileo> but if you say that the truth is relative 
and not absolute, there is absolutely no basis for 
science, math, philosophy or logic
[01:24] <phileo> kinda shoot yourself in the foot
[01:24] <Bear> yes... the people that followed jim jones 
thought that was true
[01:25] <Acolyte> phileao kinda?
[01:25] <Acolyte> bear but was it true?
[01:25] <Lon_Amigo> even in math you have to agree on 
founding principles before you can go on
[01:25] <Bear> for them it was to the rest of the people 
no it was not
[01:25] <phileo> Gotta hole in my foot to prove it
[01:25] <Acolyte> bear is it true that the people that 
folloed Jim jones though it was true?
[01:25] <phileo> (by the way, that was not true, the 
hole part)
[01:25] <Acolyte> phileo hehhe
[01:25] <Bear> it must be or they would still be alive
[01:26] <Acolyte> bea oh no it is only true for you.

[01:26] Lon_Amigo (Mike@ppp-2.ts-5.la.idt.net) left 
#apologetics.
[01:27] <Acolyte> philoe not bad
[01:27] <phileo> If I say that the answer on question 
1 of my midterm is true, and my professor says it is 
false, I am wrong
[01:27] <phileo> Because it cannot be both
[01:28] <phileo> it must be one or the other
[01:28] <Bear> yes i understand that
[01:28] <phileo> there is no such thing as something 
being something it is not
[01:28] <Bear> but some things can be true for some people 
but not true for others
[01:29] <phileo> the word you are using for true is not 
the true meaning of the word.
[01:29] <phileo> perhaps a word other than true would 
be better
[01:29] <Bear> oh yes there is....  for me pizza could 
be the best food in the world for me and that would 
be true... but it might be false for you or someone 
else
[01:29] <Cassidy_> bear...thats obvious...like if I have 
an alergy to grass and you dont, its true I will geet 
a rash and its false you will get a rash. Like that?
[01:29] <Judith_> not gravity
[01:29] <Judith_> not mathematics
[01:29] <Judith_> not breathing
[01:29] <Bear> cassidy. exactly
[01:30] <Acolyte> judith oh sure it is ;)
[01:30] <Cassidy_> judith...right!
[01:30] flant (blairej@143.207.68.54) joined #apologetics.
[01:30] <Judith_> not many many many many things
[01:30] <phileo> That is not a statment of preference 
having nothing to do with the nature of pizza
[01:30] <Acolyte> judith try if I cover your mouth/nose 
if Ithink you are breathing, sure you are ;)
[01:30] <Acolyte> hey flant
[01:30] <phileo> which I believe to be quite tasty
[01:31] <Judith_> if i think it's ok to go bash babies 
agasint trees is it ok for me to do?
[01:31] <Bear> i agree that somethings there is definately 
a line of true and false
[01:31] <Cassidy_> well, bear...I dont think anyone here 
will disagree with that!!! Thats obvious...but the 
other examples I've seen given will leead you into 
absurdity if you deny there universal truth!!!
[01:31] <Paul> were do you draw the line?
[01:31] <Cassidy_> Judith!!! :-)
[01:31] <Judith_> bear, now there ARE absolutes?
[01:32] pascoe (pasc8891@xslip07.csrv.uidaho.edu) joined 
#apologetics.
[01:32] <Judith_> what's ok for me is not ok really?
[01:32] <phileo> And that is what we are talking about... 
Either there is a Supernatural God who created everything 
or there is not!
[01:32] <phileo> both cannot be true!
[01:32] <Paul> Good point Judith
[01:32] <Bear> judith.  not for me or anyone else with 
morals.   can you guys slow down a little : )
[01:32] <Acolyte> hey poascoe
[01:32] <pascoe> hello Acolyte. 8)
[01:32] <phileo> no matter how much I believe something, 
that doesn't make it true if it is not
[01:32] <pascoe> phileo:  right.
[01:32] <Judith_> but it's ok for someone without morals 
to do?
[01:33] <Acolyte> pascoe just wanted to let you know 
that I have not had a chyance to look that ref up ye 
cause 1. I am still at my old place, and all my bks 
are at my new place. and 2 I have not finished moving
[01:33] <Judith_> and then if it's ok for them, there 
should be no punishment if they do it/
[01:33] <Acolyte> pascoe but give me a day or two and 
I will lokk ok?
[01:33] <pascoe> Acolyte:  understood.  just let me know. 
 8)
[01:35] <Cassidy_> bear...if you really look at the subject, 
you must concede. You cant even set out such a position 
without violating it! think about it. "there are no 
absolutes"   see?
[01:35] jako (yoyo@204.50.229.75) joined #apologetics.
[01:35] <Bear> no i think that it's wrong for anyone 
to do

[01:36] <Bear> judith.  was it all right for christians 
to slaughter innocent american indians because they 
would not give up thier religious beliefs

[01:36] <Milhous> I still don't understand the necessity 
of this 'God' person
[01:36] <Judith_> no bear, it wasn't
[01:36] <phileo> God allows men to disbelieve, but we 
believe there are eternal consequences and don't wish 
that anyone would see hell
[01:36] <Acolyte> bear what are you talking about?
[01:36] <Judith_> and it was not ok for the indians to 
slaughter entire settler villages either
[01:36] <Bear> should there have been a pusnishment for 
that
[01:37] <Acolyte> Milhous real simple, No God=No Ethics

[01:40] <Milhous> WHY DO PEOPLE INSISt THERE IS A GOD?
[01:40] <Bear> judith.  i agree with that so what are 
you saying that was revenge.  isn't that a sin  besides 
what would you do if someone moved into your house 
and started eating up all your food
[01:40] <Acolyte> lag
[01:40] <Acolyte> Milhouse No God=NO Ethics
[01:40] <Acolyte> Milhouse No God=NO Ethics
[01:40] <karen-2> Milhous - why do people insist there 
ISN'T one?
[01:40] Mode change '+o Acolyte ' by ApoloBot!bibleman@xlab1.fiu.edu
[01:40] <phileo> People don't insist, God insist's
[01:40] <Paul> There is a God because nature Points to 
a God
[01:40] <Acolyte> server normon.ok.us.undernet.org
[01:41] <Acolyte> ack
[01:41] <phileo> I didn't want to insist there was a 
God before I got saved, only after
[01:41] <miche> Without God, anything is permitted.
[01:41] <phileo> he uses me to insist such things
[01:41] <karen-2> Kinda rude of people to tell God he 
doesn't exist.
[01:42] <Acolyte> .
[01:42] <Milhous> Ethics, shmethics.
[01:42] <Bear> well i'm gonna go it was nice talking 
to you... and i'm sorry i didn't get to answer all 
of the questions but they were coming pretty fast. 
: )
[01:42] <Acolyte> milhouse tell that to the Jews, 6 million 
of jthem
[01:42] <Milhous> Altruistic instinct.
[01:42] <Milhous> Evolution.
[01:42] <Acolyte> milhous ever see Schinlder's List?
[01:42] <Paul> What about evolution?
[01:42] <Milhous> Acolyte: your point?
[01:42] <Acolyte> Milhouse NAturalism=Ethical Nihilism
[01:43] Bear (goau@bryn1-cs-1.dial.bright.net) left 
#Apologetics.
[01:43] miche (mspring@206.21.85.39) left #apologetics.
[01:43] <karen-2> Milhouse - Aint no such thing as altruistic 
instinct
[01:43] <Acolyte> Milhouse Evoltution does not tell you 
what you OUGHT to do, it only describes what you do 
do
[01:43] <karen-2> And evolution is blind and amoral.
[01:43] <Milhous> Acolyte: Ethical Nihilism=Extinction.
[01:43] <Milhous> Lack of ethics is maladaptive.
[01:43] <Paul> Evolution is on the down fall
[01:43] <karen-2> Not necessarily.
[01:43] <Acolyte> Milous how do you know?
[01:44] <Acolyte> milhous what are ethics in naturalism 
other than chemicals?
[01:44] <Milhous> Do any animals steal from their own 
kind, as a whole?
[01:44] <Acolyte> Paul naturalism is, not evolution
[01:44] <Acolyte> milhous  some do
[01:44] <karen-2> Milhous - YES
[01:44] <Acolyte> milhous even if they did, it would 
only be a description of a state of nature, not what 
one should do
[01:44] <karen-2> Ever watch two dogs?
[01:45] <Milhous> Just because it refers to a God doesnt 
mean it can't be true: 'A house divided can not stand'
[01:45] <Acolyte> milhous some animals eat their own 
young
[01:45] <Acolyte> Milhous what do you mean?
[01:45] <Milhous> karen-2: Ever see a mother dog and 
her pups?
[01:45] <Acolyte> Milhous in naturalism all you have 
are chemical states, not obligation
[01:45] <Paul> Evolution is emped in naturalism
[01:45] <karen-2> Milhous - I babysat my daughter's dogs 
last week.  Pal kept stealing all the rawhide bones 
and sitting on them.
[01:45] <Milhous> acolyte: Their own young? Like what, 
for instance?
[01:45] <Acolyte> milhouse yeah, my dog ate 2 of her 
pups, SO?
[01:45] <Acolyte> milhouse dogs and cats
[01:46] <Acolyte> milhouse very well documented
[01:46] <Acolyte> they do it at times
[01:46] <Milhous> Hm.

[01:46] <Jerash> Hi
[01:46] <Milhous> Now why would that be, do you suppose?
[01:46] <Milhous> GOd created them to eat their own kind?
[01:46] <Acolyte> milhouse nature made them do it, why 
else?

[01:46] <Jerash> "The Right Fist of Fellowship..."??
[01:46] <Milhous> Nature? Or God? What's the difference?
[01:46] <Acolyte> jerash a joke
[01:46] <Acolyte> milhouse big difference
[01:47] <Jerash> Oh, i See, ok
[01:47] <Milhous> God created Nature.
[01:47] <Acolyte> milhouse naturalism is mindless determinism, 
God gives everything meaning
[01:47] <Acolyte> milhous I am comparing Naturalism to 
Theism
[01:47] <Milhous> By creating Nature, he created dogs 
that eat their own young?
[01:47] <Acolyte> milhous in theism evil in nature is 
part of the fall of humanity, in naturalism it is just 
the waythings are
[01:47] <Milhous> God sure has a lot to own up to. You'd 
think an omnipotent entity would do a better job.
[01:48] <Acolyte> Mil oh really? and you could do better?
[01:48] <Acolyte> mil let me ask you something
[01:48] <Milhous> No.
[01:48] <Paul> He did it was man that fouled things up
[01:48] <Milhous> Oh? Man made dogs eat their young?
[01:48] <Milhous> Man made the dinosaurs die?
[01:49] <Paul> NO man bought sin into the world
[01:49] <Milhous> Man made the lemmings breed so prodigiously 
that they kill themselves?
[01:49] <Acolyte> Mil would an all knowing, all benevolent, 
allpowerful perfect being have a perfect reason for 
the way the world is?
[01:49] <Milhous> Aco: go ahead.
[01:49] <Milhous> sorry
[01:49] <Acolyte> Mil would an all knowing, all benevolent, 
allpowerful perfect being have a perfect reason for 
the way the world is?
[01:49] <Acolyte> Mans fall affected all of creation
[01:49] <Acolyte> Mil yes or no
[01:49] <Acolyte> will suffice
[01:49] <Milhous> aco: i don't understand the question.
[01:50] <Acolyte> Mil ok, you tell me God better have 
a good reason for all of this right? That he has alot 
to own up to? well I ask you, would a perfect omnipotent, 
omniscient being have a perfect reason for it or no?

[01:51] <Acolyte> perfect-total of all perfections in

[01:52] <Acolyte> no lack of actuality of the qualities 
that God has essentially
[01:52] <Milhous> Acolyte: That's circular reasoning. 
What is perfect?
[01:52] <Acolyte> so if God exists then he has a good 
reason for all of this. Problem solved
[01:52] <Acolyte> Perfection-no lackof actuality in the 
qualities that God has essentially
[01:52] <Milhous> No. We haven't proven God's existence. 
Or at least I don't believe there is a God.
[01:53] <Acolyte> ok but we have shown that if God exists 
then he has a sufficient reason for evil
[01:53] <Milhous> You mean "God is perfect"
[01:53] <Acolyte> hence the problem of evil is solved
[01:53] <Milhous> and "Perfect is what God is."
[01:53] <Acolyte> yes I do
[01:53] <Milhous> That's circular. It is meaningless.
[01:53] <Acolyte> same way of saying the same thing
[01:53] <Acolyte> no sure is not
[01:53] <Acolyte> perfection is the lack of potentiality 
in God's essence
[01:53] <Milhous> Yes it is. Elementary logic.
[01:54] <Milhous> "God is perfect" "Perfect is what God 
is."
[01:54] <Acolyte> A=B and B=A
[01:54] <Acolyte> hardly circular
[01:54] <Milhous> But that is not a definition.
[01:54] <Acolyte> did I give that as a def? No, u did
[01:54] <Acolyte> perfection is the lack of potentiality

[02:05] <Acolyte> no meaning
[02:05] <Acolyte> no logic
[02:05] <Acolyte> no truth
[02:05] <pascoe> marc649:  true.  I think its weakness

[02:17] <Acolyte> achimoth I beg to differ

[02:17] <marc649> the whole idea behind evolution is

it cert

ainly doesn't come from nowhere.

[02:17] <pascoe> Milhous:  how about the lack of transitionary

begs for a Creator.
[02:18] <pascoe> Milhous:  you did not ask for proof.
[02:18] <pascoe> Milhous:  you asked for evidence and 
the evidence abounds.
[02:18] <Acolyte> milhouse wll if your faculties are 
there to produce survival beleifs then they have a 
low proability for producing turhtful beleifs, hence 
evoltuion has a low probability for being true. P-R(N/E)
[02:19] <pascoe> Milhous:  I never claimed to be able 
to prove creation.  8)  but I don't see any proof for 
evolution either.
[02:19] <Milhous> pascoe: I ask for it now. Or EVIDENCE 
that SUPPORTS it. THE LACK OF transitional forms does 
NOT support a CREATION.
[02:19] <Achimoth> pascoe: yep
[02:19] <EM> One cannot prove either evolution or creationism 
both are based on some sort of a faith
[02:19] <pascoe> Milhous:  yes, a lack of intermediate 
forms implies species without common descent which 
fits the creation model prediction perfectly.
[02:19] <pascoe> EM:  exactly.  and both have evidences.

prediction at all.  it supports the creation model.

huh/
[02:23] <Achimoth> Darwin stated in Origin of Species 
that for his theory to be valid, there HAD to be solid 
evidence of transitionary forms in the fossil record.
[02:23] <Milhous> pascoe: A classic. Archaeopteryx.
[02:23] <pascoe> EM:  yes, its 95% philosophy/faith.
[02:23] <Paul> AN istanict bird?
[02:23] <marc649> milhous: the fact that we now have 
fossil evidence that the animals that exist today, 
(many thought to have evolved) have been found preserved 
in amber, and other things showing they have been here 
all along!!
[02:23] <Milhous> Achimoth: Until you realize that all 
forms are "transitional".
[02:23] EM (EM@204.112.67.251) left #Apologetics.
[02:24] <pascoe> Milhous:  I asked for a transitionary 
series.  there are 6 known archeopteryx fossils and 
all are archeopteryx with completely functional units.
[02:24] <Achimoth> Milhous: show evidence of change in 
species.. all there is proof of is adaptation within 
species
[02:24] <pascoe> Milhous:  the difficulty is that no 
transitionary series is known.
[02:24] Action: Acolyte notes thatw iwhout a philosophical 
grid to make sens eout of data, the data is meaningless
[02:24] <pascoe> Acolyte:  8)
[02:24] <Milhous> Acolyte: Probably right.
[02:25] <Milhous> pascoe: Eohippus.

and the Nature of Science

[02:25] <pascoe> Milhous:  Eohippus is not a transitionary

loud...
[02:25] <pascoe> Milhous:  Platypus is not a transitional

[02:26] <Milhous> Can I point you guys to an HTTP?
[02:26] <pascoe> Milhous:  the difficulty is that no

[02:26] <Achimoth> most of the homo series has been shown 
to be either apes or humans with physical probs
[02:26] <Acolyte> milhouse for naturalism or evolution?

[02:26] <pascoe> ''java
[02:26] <logos5> ***** JAVAMAN: Richard Lewontin (1981) 
wanted Java Man ("pithecanthropus") taught as one of 
his five "facts of evolution", but even its discoverer, 
Eugene DuB

ois, dismissed the skull and femur as parts of a man 
and giant gibbon.  It was already known that the skull 
and femur were found some distance apart, but DuBois 
also revealed a 30 year old secret that a fully human 
skull had been found at the same level

[02:26] <Achimoth> matter of fact recently they realized 
Lucy was not a lucy.. Lucy is Ricky

[02:26] <logos5> ***** PEKINGMAN:  ("sinanthropus", now 
"homo erectus")  While given as evidence in the Scopes 
trial, only the skulls were ever found and they were 
all bashed 

in at the rear.  In a cave outside Peking, China, before 
World War II, the skulls were found with other animal 
bones and some tools.  Far from a tool-user tho, "Peking 
man" was probably a meal for humans who used the 

tools to extract the brain from the skulls.
[02:26] <Milhous> Milhouse: Interactive version of Dawwkins' 
Morphs.
[02:27] <pascoe> ''nebraska
[02:27] <logos5> ***** NEBRASKAMAN: ("heperopithecus haroldcookii") 
Perfect evidence of the lack of scientific restraint 
and abuse of science on the part of many evolutionists, 
Nebraka man was never known from a

nything but a tooth (later found to be a pig tooth). 
 In newspapers the year of the Scopes trial, this tooth 
was imagined in a skull, which was then imagined on 
a skeleton, and was then given, by illustration, flesh, 
hair, and "scienti

fic" family name.
[02:27] <Acolyte> mil Godel's theorum burried that idea
[02:27] <Bawn> heheh
[02:27] <pascoe> all debunked.
[02:27] <Bawn> ''piltdown
[02:27] <logos5> ***** PILTDOWNMAN: A blatant case of 
evolutionary fraud, Piltdown man was forged from an 
ape jaw with teeth filed and jaw damaged to hide its 
true identity; human skull; bones stained to appear 
old.  This hoax, begun in 1912 laste

d nearly 40 years as a "fact" of evolution, even dignified 
with the scientific name "eoanthropus dawsoni".
[02:27] <pascoe> Lucy was a knuckle walker.

[02:27] <Achimoth> aco: Lucy isnt Lucy.. Lucy is actually 
Ricky

[02:31] <Achimoth> ''neanderthal
[02:31] <logos5> ***** NEANDERTHAL: ("homo sapiens neanderthalensis") 
 While not an outright fraud, these fossils were once 
touted by evolutionists as the primary link between 
man and his ape-like ancestor.  As 

more evidence became available, evolutionists have 
backed away from this claim.  Neanderthal was most 
likely just homo sapien since each of its physical 
features are also found in living people.
[02:31] <Acolyte> thats false
[02:31] <Achimoth> yeah.. on old man with rickets...
[02:31] <Acolyte> they are a relative of homo sapiens
