The religion named Christianity is not a religion.

GeraldtheGnome: Does that make any sense ? Does it make as much sense as ‘The science of evolution is anything but science’ ?

AretoNyx: I guess one can view ot that way. Some say they are Jewish but are not practicing ...same with many religions, politics, cultures, and belief related things of many ideas. People like to say all sorts of things linguistically throughout history of human existence and change definitions whatever way ...whatever reasons it seems.
Sure all that through psychology of conformity whatever stuffs, but for me personally I feel agnostic atheist that is apatheistic even if my husband is calling himself a Christian. Surrounded every day in the bible belt competition of theist verses theist views in majority ... same old same old.

shadowline: I suppose it depends, as it always does when words are called into question like this, what you mean by "religion". I can't think of a definition of that word which wouldn't include Christianity as an instance.

GeraldtheGnome: I saw some minor errors that were made and I’ve never seen anyone use apatheistic before. Is that even a proper word. I put those on here because of Blackshoes/Preacher Bob’s contradictory forum that is a religious forum even though he has it as a science forum. It’s titled ‘The science of evolution is anything but science’. I think that’s the name of the title, if not then it is similar to that unless he has changed the title. Well knowing him it’s his creationism is right (according to him) and anything about evolution is made up (according to him). The thing is even though he wants to convince or at least tell those that don’t agree with him that he is right he is failing to do so even before any looks at the content of his forum.

The reason why his argument fails all the time before you even read the content of his forum is because in the first part of the title he claimed when he typed it that everything about the theory of evolution is a form of science, he then made it worse for himself with the last part of the title when he claimed at the same time that it also isn’t a form of science. He might have well told everyone that even though it is a form of science it isn’t science. I don’t even claim that about a form of science that I know that is dodgy, wrong and misleading. But then when you get to the content of the forum all sorts of things that are impossible are claimed to be true and one video that I think that’s on there or at least on some other forum against evolution is a claim that fish cannot successfully live out of water for a long time and that is supposed to be evidence that disproves evolution. It’s Zeffur’s repeated video, the problem with it is that I live in a city where there are two Species of Fish that can stay out of water, both of them are Subspecies. Yes the very cute little Mudskippers cannot survive days without water, but The Queensland Lungfish can and at times does stay out of water for days. Anyway Christianity is a religion, it cannot be a religion and not a religion at the same time.

Back to the Lungfish, those type of Lungfish can be found by a 25 minute drive from my house. The West African Lungfish however will stay out of water for years in a dormant state if droughts where they are last for years, if there has been a drought and the water returns they will successfully return to the water, breed and eventually die in the water. If a drought does last for more than five years then they will die in their dormant state. So Zeffur’s video is ineffective. Does Bob though have anything that convinces anyone that he is right ? No, with his repeated claim videos and repeated words just like Zeffur’s he has failed to achieve what he wants to achieve each time. At least Zeffur is sticking to his convictions and is a confirmed Creationist, Bob though is a fake one. The reason is because Bob believes unknowingly that small scale evolution is true and that large scale evolution is false. So again he has contradicted himself each time he has mentioned that because he claimed that evolution is true and evolution is false.

The theory of evolution, no matter if you agree with it or not is that over a very long period one Species will eventually have its descendants have a big enough difference that it will become a Subspecies, that is small scale evolution, if the changes happen for long enough and the difference with the newcomers is too different from the Species that it only just has some similarities then that is large scale evolution and that can only be brought about by small scale evolution bringing about small scale evolution over and over again until there is too much of a difference to consider them to be of the same Species and in most cases one Species cannot breed with that of another Species. For Bob and Zeffur they look at the exceptions and think that because the two Species have similarities superficially and in some cases can breed they think that the two Species that because they are superficially similar regardless of if they can breed or not with the other then that means that they are of the same ‘kind’ as they put it which really means that they falsely claim that they are the same Species.

They often mislead themselves by thinking that very minor changes like varieties of Dogs, Horses and Cats for example that aren’t even as high up as a Subspecies level is evidence against evolution and again they used the vague term kind each time they did that. They both are under the impression that a god named God (which even in The Lindisfarne Gospels was referred to as godes in lowercase since then the word god was only used for the now used word good apparently) created all life, including the first Human couple thousands of years ago according to them. It’s a claim that they have to prove, considering everything against their claim I doubt that they will even convince one person who is already against that claim of theirs.

To Shadowline. What did you mean by your last three words ? That didn’t make any sense to me.

shadowline: I meant that Christianity would have to be included in a list of things that qualified as religion: like Hinduism and Islam. Christianity would have to be on that list.

mrsmargaret48: "The religion named Christianity is not a religion", hilarious.

I guess other religions are religions, I can hear the academic world in fits of laughter.

GeraldtheGnome: Do not copy my own words or that of anyone else’s. I agree that it is hilarious, the title is contradictory and any claim that any religion by any name makes no sense at all. Bob has a religious forum that should not be in a science forum, it is about the science of evolution is not a form of science at all. Well if he wanted to truly consider it not to be a form of science,then he shouldn’t have made the contradictory claim that it is and it is not a form of science. It can only be one or the other after all.

So yes, anyone who sees the title of his forum and mine will have fits of laughter, they are ridiculous claims after all. I did not speak on here by the way.

GeraldtheGnome: Shadowline is fine on here because he is not being a Troll on here. By the way, I don't appreciate your cyber stalking of me as well.
