big fish
Apart from some type of miraculous intervention, would it be possible for a man to get swallowed by a fish and survive for 3 days?

Longload:As a semanticist,no.

As a lawyer no.
WHY not???? COZ you belittle my main man..Now Brett,IF i may rephrase for you...Pietro DO you believe it was a fish? no!
Do you believe it was a whale?no!
Well then what the friggin hell DO you believe? Well you don't have to shout!Thats hurtful.
the greeks call it leviathan..I think of it as a giant denizen of the ocean created for the purpose of teachin that lil shmuck to do the LORDS will..
It's not really a matter of the kind of creature. You just don't get swallowed by a living creature, stay there for three days and live to tell the tale.

If God can get easily pissed, irritated and offended by what humans do or say, then I say, phuc God. Who cares about a phuching God like that?

I am constantly amazed how excerpt's from the bible are brought into other channels to be ended in phuc God...

Bringing up your deity's supposed omnipotence to try and give some substance to a pretty funny Biblical fairy tale, forgetting the fact that your very deity's existence is far from being a proven fact - should I really remind you that this is the Science & Technology channel? Facts, please - is very...well, entertaining, I must say

Ah science ! OK catch me over at religion...
Will do. Until our beloved and overzealous mod decides that I deserve another ban for...well, whatever reason she can find, really. Like...don't know, being too ugly for a public forum. I can actually see that coming.

Maybe so, but I haven't seen you give any proof that he doesn't exist, it works both ways you know.

Two main points. First of all, evidence has been presented, your desire to ignore it won't change that. Secondly, it doesn't "work both ways." I don't need to empirically disprove flying unicorns' existence on this planet to safely assume that there is no such thing. If that were the case, you'd have to disprove every single deity ever worshipped by each human group throughout history, before claiming that your god exists and that it is the only one. That's how it works.

You know Shaka, I have the pleasure of knowing where I will be going when I die. Too bad for you, that you won't be in the same place. I feel sorry for you that you are so closed minded for someone who pretends to be so intellectual. However even brains won't get you to where I and a lot of other Christians will be when we die. You will be the one thirsting, but as you know you will not be able to cross over. You may insult me, it is of no matter, you are not the first, nor will you be the last to persecute me. God blesses those who are persecuted.

I wouldn't want to spend eternity in heaven even if it existed. Spending eternity staring at a bulb...I can think of at least a billion of things more entertaining than that. Like being electrocuted. Btw, you don't know where you will be going. You hope. It's called wishful thinking.
I feel sorry for you that you are so closed minded for someone who pretends to be so intellectual.
Closed minded? So disagreeing with you makes me closed minded?
However even brains won't get you to where I and a lot of other Christians will be when we die.
Oh, I know that. People with brains tend to end up in hell, by most Christian standards
You will be the one thirsting, but as you know you will not be able to cross over. You may insult me, it is of no matter, you are not the first, nor will you be the last to persecute me. God blesses those who are persecuted.
Insult you? Yeah, I know you believers tend to take offence when confronted with logical thinking. But it is not my intention to insult you, nor persecute you. For the most part, I have better stuff to do. If your god blesses those who are persecuted, then surely your god will bless all those nations, peoples and cultures that have been literally destroyed by Christianity.

Obviously, you know nothing of the work that is being done all over the world by missionaries, and the danger they face, on a day to day basis. I won't tell you how many Christians have been brutally murdered because of their faith. You only know the facts of which you want to tell. In heaven looking at a bulb, where does that come from. Another figment of your imagination. Also, I don't HOPE I will be going there, I KNOW I will be going there.

Obviously you know nothing of the work that is being done all over the world by secular organisations, and of the danger they face on a daily basis. I won't tell you how many non-Christians have been brutally murdered because of their faith or lack thereof. Seriously, shall we discuss of how the tithes of the believers are actually being used by, say, the Catholic Church? Trust me, I know a lot about it.
You only know the facts of which you want to tell.
I only tell the facts that are relevant.
In heaven looking at a bulb, where does that come from. Another figment of your imagination.
Another side-effect of Christianity, annihilation of sense of humour.
Also, I don't HOPE I will be going there, I KNOW I will be going there.
Hardly. Knowing presupposes evidence, empirical proof and actual knowledge. You hope, my dear. That's why it's called faith.

I have the faith in knowing where I will be going. Never mind playing word games, you are not teaching me anything, not by a long shot.

You only tell the facts that are relevent to you, not anyone else. As far as a sense of humor, you obviously haven't heard many of the Christian comedians that are out there have you?

You don't wish to learn, I sure don't wish to teach you anything. As long as faith doesn't intrude school programmes, I don't really care what people hope for in the private of their houses.

Nope, I only tell the facts that are relevant to the thread. If some people wish to blind themselves to them, I don't give a heck. Now, if you have a problem with me, keep it to the PMs. No point in disrupting the topic even further, even though it is well past usefulness already.
