(in response to a post about the benefits of science: 'Science has given us the computer you're typing on, the internet, life-saving drugs, all modern conveniences etc.')
God has given us these computers, scientists have give you evolution. ^_^

Why can you never give people credit for things that they worked hard to accomplish? Reminds me of those people who thank god when someone is "miraculously" cured or saved from a life-threatening condition, instead of the doctors who busted their ass through med school and subsequent training to learn how to save lives.
Also notice how god gets the credit for anything the fundies think is good, but anything bad is humanity's fault. Right.
well, if you pray to bill gates, then i guess god has given us computers. but if not, then you fail.
You're opinion? So god made computers. How did he do it? Did he make them out of dust, too? I bought mine from a store, who in turn got it from a supplier, who in turn got it from the company who made it. It was made by the designs of the person/people who originally designed it. The software is Microsoft, which came from Bill Gates. Well, I don't see god anywhere in that. You fail bad.
Or, you could think like this.
God gave us scientists. Scientists gave us knowledge.
God gave us doctors. Doctors used knowledge for good.
God gave us politicians. They gave money to weapon industry and used (and continue to use) knowledge to make the most powerfull weapons mankind has ever known. Weapons need to be tested. So our god given politicians start a war to do it.
GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!
Well, at least I was unknowingly correct when I screamed, "Goddamn fucking Windows!" all those times.
Thank you for setting me straight on the issue.
Well Lion of Judah, why didn't your God give a computer to your namesake, the tribe of Judah? Moses could have used a GPS, the dumb bastard would not have wandered in the wilderness for forty years.
God has given us these computers?
So Steve Jobs = God now? ZOMG THE APPLE FANATICS ARE RIGHT!!!
*grabs his iMac and runs*
"God has given us these computers"
In that case shouldn't you be praying for your computer to stay well instead of using firewalls/antivirus software? Or is it only your children you are so f**king casual with the health of?
I built my own computers from the parts bought from Newegg, who gets them from a supplier, who gets them from a manufacturing plant that uses silicon bases and metal parts to make the lights blink.
If god can make a computer run Crysis on max, then call me god.
You twit.
1. If god gave us all of scientific creation the he gave us modern medicine which includes the abortion procedure.
2. Look up humble, if you smirk you are not being humble and thus you are sinning you prideful shit.
Well, Apple is a nice name, I guess. Thank you scientists, for giving us evolution. Thanks, everyone. *wipes tear*
No, God didn't give us these computers. God gave us Lisp Machines , and we've abandoned His ways!
It's not too late to repent! Install sbcl today!
"Well computers crash so often so he must have done a pretty bad job for an omni-everything being.."
Well, shoddy workmanship is par for the course for ol' Jehovah (just take a good look at the human body: riddled with design flaws), so this is business as usual.
I find Yahoo! Answers usually works like this..
"Question with a lead given so that people know what the asker wants to hear?"
"A bunch of logical answers that make perfect sense, some closer to what the asker wanted than others.. Most of them having lots of thumbs-ups."
"The answer that the asker wants, even though it has lots of thumbs-downs" <--- Selected answer.
Though I'm not the first to notice this, I realize.
"God has given us these computers, scientists have give you evolution."
Speaking as someone who repairs, upgrades & builds bespoke computer systems for a living (hell, if anything, it's a hobby I get paid to do!), in all the time I've done so I've yet to see one single component I've fitted in such that says anything else but 'Made in China/Taiwan/Japan/South Korea/Philippines/Indonesia/Malaysia/Thailand/Singapore/Vietnam' on them. Not exactly Christian countries, are they? Therefore...:
"well, at least in my humble opinion."
...doesn't count for shit.
I love the smell of annihilated arguments in the morning. Smells like... victory.
Confused?
