Your Mom and Dad Made You not God

Debate Information

God didn't create your physical body, your mom and dad did. At best all god did was create the biological process that after a very long time led to your creation. So, if that's the case what's wrong with god creating evolution to do the same thing?

It looks a lot like the people who made the bible knew only a fraction of the whole story. If they had known the whole story evolution would no doubt have been included in the bible.

    And Humanity in general only uses 10% of their brain function.

    While there are some savants living amongst us, that utilize I believe up to 15-20% of their brain function?

    If Humanity was able to properly utilize 100% of its brain function, the level of rationale, reasoning, and thought processing, I'm guessing, might frighten some modern day thinkers?

    Because a fair amount of humanity, is overly comfortable in utilizing just that 10% of their brain function, because I guess, that suits them?

    "Your Mom and Dad Made You not God"


    God made the Universe, and God created Humanity. 

    But with the way, some of us, have our minds set up, we're not able to rationalize up to that level of understanding just yet?

    My guess, is that some of humanity in general, has to go through some more evolutionary changes before we get to that point?

    Because, humanity in general, isn't ready yet, to fairly and equally rationalize God, just yet?

    The idea that Humans only use 10% of their brain is scientifically unfounded.  There is no evidence to suggest that we are inefficient in the use of our brain or that we only use a portion of it.  It's an old wive's tale at best and at worst it's a joke that someone said once that caught traction because it sounds profound.  It's a Myth.

    I will say that I've read some things on this debate site that lead me to believe that it might be true, especially for people who use the 10% myth as a premise for rationalizing human thought.

    Again, I'm a realist.
    And I'm pro law abiding, pro family, and pro community as well. 

    I'm guessing that you're maybe pro Illegal Immigrant, or Alien, right?

    I didn't swerve from ANYTHING, I know the difference between being Law Abiding, and those who are Non Law abiding, by breaking the law to come into the United States Illegally, like their Illegal selves did?

    "Nice swerve , but pretty obvious , let’s revisit here is what you said .....    Show me how the 22 million illegal immigrants or aliens, coming into the United States illegally, since 1987, is a form of intelligent thought?

    The Intelligent and Law Abiding thought, would have been to TAKE the proper channels to legally come into the United States, legally. 

    So instead, their illegal and unintelligent selves, are costing the US taxpayers Billions of dollars, each year to cater to those 22 million illegal immigrants or aliens? 

    Who are, I'm guessing, are waiting for a Liberal Politician to BAIL those Illegal Immigrants with Amnesty, which non of them deserve.

    If you are unable to explain the more complete story by outlining the order of evolution.
    Could it be that you only know a fraction of the whole story?
    In the Bible, a detailed order of events is spelled out.
    Nevertheless, I have found a variation of opinions with the order with evolution.
    Please go on record now detailing the order of events, since evolution is a more complete explanation.

    I have questions:

    Can you really call scientists experts when they have multiple opinions on the same event?
    Can you really trust their conclusions when it changes constantly?
    Can you be sure it is accurate when no one will go on record in order to avoid being wrong?
    Why do people believe evolution when it cannot be seen or shown?

    If the final step was a man from an ape, then why can't a man procreate with an ape?
    Why can't a man who suppositive evolved from other animals, procreate with none of the animals?

    Now I know the urge is to press the "disagree" or "fallacy" button without providing valid answers.

    I feel it is like pleading the fifth amendment when someone will decline to answer questions where the answers might incriminate them, or in this case, disassemble their argument.

    These are your own words and it agrees with what I said.

    I do not believe god breathes anything into anything, but if he does he'd have time to do nothing else 24 7, 365 days a year.

    If god were smart he would set in motion an evolutionary process that did the work of creating humans for him and being god he surely could have.
