That is why its so difficult for them to comprehend a simple article and say things like life came from rocks or single cell organisms decided to turn into giraffes.
you probably never heard of abiogenesis before i brought it up.
prove it.
Its well documented that you've been the student on a great number of topics discussed between the two of us. You should humble yourself.
I can't prove it nor do i care too.
then you should have kept that comment to yourself. Try to have a mature conversation today without all the unnecessary bs
Me calling you a hypocrite is pertinent to the conversation because you cannot propose that what i believe is less worthy of consideration or irrational meanwhile you hold beliefs that are also not rational. As you say, we have had many other discussions about similar topics in the past and being that you have never brung up abiogenesis in any of these conversions, is it logical for me to assume that you never knew about the theory.
You never brought it up either.
And I don't believe in God; I think the whole theory is irrational, sure.. but that does not make me hypocritical just because you believe whatever theory you think I hold to is irrational.
The teachings of buddha are just as irrational as the teachings of any other religion because they are not objectively provable or testable.
Objectively speaking Buddhism is irrational, christianity is irrational so it's not about the THEORY I believe you hold. If you hold any theory that is not provable and testable you are being irrational, but IF you still bash others for also holding onto subjective theories then that is being hypocrirical.
I'm glad you've come to accept that Christianity is irrational. However, I don't think that way about the dhamma.
Its odd that you continue to follow an irrational theory.
Believing in it is irrational because you cannot prove the existence of god
Exactly. The Buddha said to only believe in what you can prove:
"So, as I said, Kalamas: 'Don't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, "This contemplative is our teacher." When you know for yourselves that, "These qualities are unskillful; these qualities are blameworthy; these qualities are criticized by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to harm & to suffering" — then you should abandon them.' Thus was it said. And in reference to this was it said.
"Now, Kalamas, don't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, 'This contemplative is our teacher.' When you know for yourselves that, 'These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness' — then you should enter & remain in them.
Open your eyes and the proof is there. Stop being blinded by the enemy. Amen.
We will just have to agree to disagree.
