"No human could write out a literal blow-by-blow history of the Universe and no human could ever read such an accounting.
Why not? At least you should try to give some reasons!"
for it there to be a literal account, they'd have to be present to record the events as they happened. now unless i've got it wrong, god didn't create humans before he was supposed to have created the universe.
i shake my head at all adults that believe in a god etc, in some ways i'm insulted in them thinking i'm as delusional as them.
Well, the good people in Harry Potter set a far better moral and ethical example than the "good" god in the bible.
"Like everything, some parts yes, some parts no" - you can't have contradictory good/bad bits for a so called "loving" god so it is clearly a crock of shit with one or two out of character good bits which you'll find in any novel.
" And I'm Catholic. I have faith in God" - as you seem to be asking yourself questions, ask yourself why you are a catholic and not a moslem, hindu etc etc.
Is it because an accident of birth being born to catholic parents and you've suffered indoctrination (brainwashing) from birth through school?
Have you asked yourself why you think your religion is more "true" than any other religion?
Have you worked out who created the creator?
Dante was a writer so why trust his "version" of hell? Unless you believe he's been there and come back, how would he know what its like?
I think if you honestly answer those questions, you'd realise there is no heaven or hell or god and it's only in your mind.
"god hypothesis" not "god theory". still waiting for the "proof" of a god or gods (depending on religious bias") to make it a theory (in the science sense)
so i guess you are not for new tech, new advances in energy generation etc. the sort of "i'm okay, who gives a fuck about the future" attitude. why not go back to coal power stations only (or older still just burn wood) and get rid of the relatively new petrol, gas, nucleur power. I bet if you were born 100 years ago, you'd be raging against the new tech of that era as well. i think it called being a luddite
" As well, where these "green energy programs" cause more environmental damage than others. Especially when you calculate in the refining, production, and extraction of various materials." - i think you are referring to fossil fuels in that statement.
"Who cares one shit about somebody 5 generations into the future" - i think you need to answer that statement as well to make your argument more valid.
you can make the same argument about ICE. compare the first decade of progress of the ICE to the first real decade of electric vehicles. If you think connecting a battery to a motor is all that makes up a modern EV, then maybe you have an argument but its not.
whats not zero emission about an electric vehicle in drive mode? There may be a current issue about the manufacturing process which will probably be removed when more and more manufacturing will be powered by renewable energy.
i watched a medical program about the placebo effect on UK TV a month or so ago. They used mainly trails that were based in the US. One of the trials was where they gave a group of patients a placebo and told them it was a placebo. The one person they spoke to at length after the trial was a nurse who had IBS, she said even though she knew it was a placebo, her symptoms almost completely cleared up by the end of the 3 week trial. The IBS symptoms all came back after the trial and so she tried to get some more of the pills they gave her during the trial but they couldn't give them to her because the trial was over. She even went to many pharmacies to try and source the placebo but no luck so she is suffering as normal.
"Third, he didn't charge." - typical drug dealer tactic, free at first and you are paying for it now in all the tax exemptions and privileges given to christians....

the way i see it is if there is an atom present then there is something even thought 99% of that atom is nothing... :o)
"until we've evolved past the need for it." - we are already passed this point
nicely put. but i don't think "need" a god.

and its takes nothing to mine, process, refine and transport fossil fuel?

Those that aren't frauds are gullible. but if you query a homopath supporter, the reply is "well, it can't do any harm"
