If God were real, you wouldn’t need a book

Pivot fallacy. You were discussing some kind 'vertical line test' where there are no vertical lines!

Vertical line test



In mathematics, the vertical line test is a visual way to determine if a curve is a graph of a function or not. A function can only have one output, y, for each unique input, x. If a vertical line intersects a curve on an xy-plane more than once then for one value of x the curve has more than one value of y, and so, the curve does not represent a function. If all vertical lines intersect a curve at most once then the curve represents a function Continued in Wikipedia
 
I’ve always wondered why God only reveals himself to a very limited number of people and why so many of those people are deeply flawed.
That was true before Pentecost ,when the Holy Spirit was sent available to all believers!
I total understand the why in the world ,does YHWH sometimes pick deeply flawed people!
I'm one of those deeply flawed people that was Chosen! When Chosen the first thing I did was offered my letter of resignation! Not Accepted! The Holy Spirit just kept teaching, I continued to plead my case,get someone else,not interest,this went on for quite some time , when finally I just submitted, because it was obvious, I could get out of being Chosen! Without the Holy Spirit, Christianity would have died out probably within a decade of Jesus death and resurrection.
 
Agreed. But if theists are being put on the spot to explain, so are atheists.
You have just made the stupidest comment of the week. Let's examine your (il)logic under other circumstances.

* Agreed. But if criminals are being held accountable for their crimes, so must the non-criminals.
* Agreed. A lack of extraordinary claims requires extraordinary evidence.


Do you tie balloons as well?

If nothing exists but inanimate matter and energy, then atheists are required to explain how a mathematically rational, lawfully organized, finely tuned cosmos could have originated from purely inanimate physical reasons and irrational chance.
You are chanting your nonsense again. Asked and answered.

The only worldview that is not on the hook to explain itself is agnosticism.
Too funny. Agnosticism is not a world-view. It has no place in this discussion. Learn what agnosticism is. It is nothing more than a position on knowledge. If you are too stupid to learn this, you might have to recuse yourself from these discussions.
 
(x−a)^2 + (y−b)^2 = r^2 is not a function, but it IS an equation. It happens to be the equation describing a circle.
vetical line test.
Just a ticky-tack technicality but ... the vertical line test only applies to Cartesian (absolute) coordinates.

(x−a)^2 + (y−b)^2 = r^2 actually is a function if considered in polar coordinates, i.e. (r-cos(θ)-a)² + (r-sin(θ)-b)² = r² is the same circle but in polar coordinates, and is a function.
 
everything animate is also matter and energy.

how dumb are you?!
Ideas, minds, souls, conscience, imagination, math, values, ethics, creativity are immaterial and come from the animate. You are not just simply a collection of quarks and electrons.
and really if you understood basic physics, there's only energy!!!
Physicists wouldn't have bothered coming up with names like quarks, electrons, and muons unless they were considered a special case for how quantum energy fields vibrate and interact. Particles and matter are constituents of the language used in physics.

I'm pretty sure "the animate" has no scientific meaning.

they're not a special case of anything,

you're nearly always wrong.

how do you do it?

Thanks for tacitly admitting you totally forgot that immaterial realities (conscience, values, imagination, rationality, etc.) come from the animate and are inextricably linked to the animate.
they're not a special case of anything!!!
Feel free to make the case to the National Academies of Science that we don't need words and concepts for particles and matter like quarks, electrons, neutrons.

blink 3 times if you're being held against your will.
 
physics like "concepts, values, and imagination"???
You were the one who complained about my use of matter and energy. That's straightforward particle physics.
I value all these things, but this is not physics, it's psychology, or spirituality, something like that.

you're dumb!
You must not value them much, because you tried to reduce the animate (aka, life) to just matter and energy - and totally ignored that the immaterial realities like conscience, imagination, values are part of the animate and inextricably linked to it.

I said the animate and inanimate are both equally matter and energy.

you're fucking dumb.

Matter and energy are interchangeable, E = MC^2. But the language of physics still treats the particle zoo of quarks and leptons as special and distinct particles of matter. The idea from quantum field theory that particles are just vibrations of the underlying quantum field is currently just a theory, and may or may not be ultimately correct.
you're fucking dumb!!!
You wouldn't follow me around and read everything I write if you actually thought that. Dumb gets boring real fast.
