Atheists and Christians Debate
By: Lance Winslow
Coffee Shops are the place to chat and talk and recently a common place for Christians to meet too. Recently I got interested in a chat between two people one who went by the nick-name Knuckle and the others name was Debbie.
Debbie was a Christian, sincere and sweet and Knuckle was apparently an atheist. When Knuckle told Debbie there was no god, she flipped out and went into a tirade about Knuckle being basically and idiot, scoundrel and generally lacking cranial capacity; that is to say intelligence.
Debbie agreed about DNA and Knuckle thought he was winning the argument when Debbie called him a horses ass and unintelligent. So I interjected to say that DNA shows that intelligence seems to be 50/50% nature vs. nurture and so God if he is intelligent and designed us in his image, then he must be a fat overweight American. No, just kidding.
Now then, assuming for a minute a little Sci Fi Fantasy that god exists, then God would only account for 50% of Knuckles intelligence, thus it appears that it really makes not a lot of difference as long as your god of intelligent design gave him some, he would get the rest afterwards.
Now then if Intelligent Design is not the case then God is dumb, that is to say unintelligent. Meaning if you Debbie are made in his image minus a penis and that extra rib thing, then actually god did not give you or knuckle any brains so then where did you get them? Well, evolution has adapted homo sapiens to have larger brains than our next nearest cousins which we split off from about 1 million years ago as we are 99% DNA similar you see?
So as far as calling Knuckle unintelligent because god gave him few brains, well scientifically that makes no sense. And if a god was going around giving humans inferior brains why on earth would you wish to follow such a loose cannon who would pick and choose who gets what? I just laughed and walked out figuring maybe they would all just shut up and stop fighting over this thing. Consider this in 2006.
