[QUOTE="Tiger, post: 133948, member: 353"] This is possibly your most pathetic attempts at debate Fishy. So, when faced with substantive, metaphysical questions about origins, consciousness, information theory, or the uncanny intelligibility of the cosmos... pivot to some tired stereotype about Ireland, as if that were relevant. You speak as though Ireland were some bleak spiritual bog — clearly unaware that it is, in fact, one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth, from the wild Connemara coastlines to the ancient forests of Killarney, where the land still whispers the memory of saints and scholars. But of course, you wouldn’t know that — you’ve never been. Whereas I’ve lived and worked in India, Australia, and the UK, and travelled across every continent — from Himalayan monasteries to the Australian outback, from the streets of Jerusalem to the ice sheets of Patagonia. I’ve tasted the breadth of human culture, belief, beauty, and reason. And yet, it's always the local keyboard iconoclast — who’s never left his postcode — telling me how religion is just a provincial delusion. Irony is truly lost on some. Your response, such as it is, perfectly illustrates the point: atheism, when stripped of its bluster, rarely offers engagement with the [I]big questions[/I] — only with easy ridicule and shallow cynicism. The real intellectuals — men like John Lennox — ask: [I]Why is the universe intelligible? Why do mathematical laws govern the cosmos? Why does DNA contain coded instructions?[/I] These are not Sunday-school queries — they are foundational to science and philosophy. But instead of engaging those, we get... memes and mockery. A predictable evasion wrapped in parochial condescension. It’s not the religious mind that’s narrow. It’s the one that refuses to look up and ask [I]why anything exists at all.[/I] [/QUOTE]
