********. A ton of black people fish. Not many of your "thugs" but a lot of the others fish, at least here in the South.black people don't fish?
//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gifThose fishing poles aren't with their rightful owner?
Still more of the river you don't see. Besides, fish don't have to have deep water.river is only a few inches deep? you can see the stones almost breaking the surface.
I have seen Mexicans fish with coke bottles...Literally. Tie the line to the coke bottle and wrap it around it...lmao- they have poles, but, are fishing with a "spool of thread"?
edit: i win
this is probably the answer, sad but trueA black kid spending time with someone that looks like his actual biological father?
i've done that with a stick and fishing line. who needs a reel? i'll just snatch them shits out the water //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gifI have seen Mexicans fish with coke bottles...Literally.

1. No you cannot more clearly define god and meaning, and thats the problem with religion. If there is a such thing as god which i believe is undeniably true, you cannot define him (more appropriately, "It") That is Clear,I am off to a movie, so I will respond later with a post explaining why your way of thinking is so wrong philosophically.
In the mean time, three simple ideas:
1. We must more clearly define "meaning" and "god".
2. A false dichotomy is being presented
3. There is an underlying argument here that the existence of god gives your life "purpose" or "meaning"; I would argue that it would actually strip your life of all meaning because, in the context I believe god is being used here, everything you do is either under god's control, must be done to appease god, or must be done on behalf of god.
You mean devolving //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gifMy funky pup is evolving into a W7 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
Adam's Curse is a 2003 book by Oxford University human genetics professor Bryan Sykes expounding his hypothesis that with the declining sperm count in men and the continual atrophy of the Y chromosome, within 5,000 generations (approximately 125,000 years) the male of the human species will become extinct.

You still make it seem as if every animal does it every time they breed. WRONG. Until this happens, then we can say that animals have evolved to kill their babies.more animals than peoples commit infanticide.
how could this be evolve like that?
evolution fail.
Nope God is merely the eternal pre-existing force necessary for the universe to exist. In short what makes him "god" would be nothing other than the fact that he had no creator and exists on an eternal plane.god created himself and then the universe, now i can see how he created the universe but himself that has been a giant stump in my brain for years now
Every child, male or female is born with at least 1 X chromosome. A woman will always pass the X, a male can pass either an X (female birth - XX) or a Y (male birth - XY).intresting but i ask this. with the ability to pretty much choose the sex of your baby these days how is this possible???
If we are arguing that a god exists and that he provides meaning, then we absolutely must define what we mean by the word "god" and what we mean by the word "meaning". As you define god later in this post, he is the master physicist who created the universe with all its laws and is unseen and unknowable. I do agree completely, though, that the area in which you propose god exists is very unknowable. In fact, it is so unknowable that it is preposterous to assert that he exists.1. No you cannot more clearly define god and meaning, and thats the problem with religion. If there is a such thing as god which i believe is undeniably true, you cannot define him (more appropriately, "It") That is Clear,
And the reason why every religion in the world fails. Stop picturing god as a mighty rule-giver on a throne. As much historic information as you can muster, evidential support is neg. Thus following the rules of any religion boils down to sacrificing villagers to the volcano. I do not for one second believe that any religion in the world has 100% of the truth, granted they all have benefits and good concepts but not truth. By definition if a creator of the universe existed it would be for the purpose of negating the impossibility of a universe otherwise, a reality that humans are a part of and can not escape to obtain a clear reference which to define a god or purpose.
The cosmological argument is both unsound and invalid. First, we of course have an infinite regress built into the god argument, and it is unclear why this one entity is able to overcome it other than by fiat. Further, it really does not make sense to ask what came before the universe; without time, there really is no "before" to speak of. Even if we establish the existence of something that gave rise to the universe, we are still not in a position to say anything reasonable about it. Calling it god or an entity or really anything is a non-sequitur. It is so far out of bounds that we cannot say, with any intellectual honesty, a thing about its properties, and in relation to us it resides in a state of non-existence.In other words you have a problem of circular reasoning here that cannot be seen around or through because the path of logic is beyond human reasoning. That problem is:
There is a degree of impossibility to the idea of the universe existing out of nothing. So a Pre-existing eternal force would actually be the simplest explanation, the circular reasoning and rhetorical part of the concept is that a "god" fitting this description would by definition be impossible to understand from the human perspective. so Alas, you cannot know either way for sure. No atheist truly has a better support for his beliefs than a deist or vica versa. But my argument for life here is the chief reason i believe deistic.
That is an utter and complete bald assertion. What is your rational argument that supports the following premises:2.even though i do believe so, I'm not arguing that god gives your life meaning or purpose, You are taking it too far. I'm saying that in a universe devoid of "higher beings" or "un-natural" unobservable things, the concept of evolution makes no sense. An underlying force which is responsible for evolution attempts to keep life going which is completely nonsensical. The simplest most natural course would be that life (even if created by chance) would simply die out rather than continue and change. Saying otherwise is saying that evolution is following an illogical course and thus can defined as a conscious being! like a (omg) "GOD"!?!?! lol jk
Just because you want life to have a purpose doesn't mean it does. With that said, I think our purpose in life is to be the most productive members of society and aim to minimize suffering in our lives and others lives. That's not a directive from god; simply a recognition of what is often called "the human condition". It is the product of our very existence.Back to god giving life meaning yes. Look around you everything which serves a purpose in your house was created. This is in no way parallel to the existence of man, but my point is that a created being does not need to be aware of his purpose in order to serve it. The more useful thing to note is that complex items serve complex purposes.
