--- Quote from: Nonnel on November 06, 2017, 03:16:39 AM ---The Amish are actually a pretty interesting group. I don't agree with their restrictions on modern technology and what-not, but their culture of non-violence and cooperation over competition is really something that we ought to take note of. i.e. the smartest kid in class doesn't move to a separate class, they help out the kids who are behind. It's sort of admirable how they're able to thrive as the world passes them by. I wonder how long will pass until they finally fade away, corrupted by ever-evolving technology surrounding them on all sides?

Non-violence? Have you ever been in a bar full of amish? They get into fights just about every time they drink. Putting that aside I quite respect their whole "live off the land" idea. They have a lot of dedication and patience to be living without electricity or motorized vehicles in this era of technology, although I did see a small amish kid playing a gameboy once. I guess batteries are okay?

It's their opinion that technology is bad, and you could more than likely have a civil discussion with an Amish person about their beliefs. Goth77 can't have a conversation about his beliefs, he'll ignore half the stuff you say and come back with lame sarcasm, because he's just simply wrong. Goth77 literally has a less correct perspective of the Earth than the Amish.

well first and foremost the amish believe in god, so obviously the "big bang" shuts down their entire belief system

I believe in God and the big bang theory, at the same time. AMA if your feeble mortal mind can handle such a thing.

You're right, I don't understand how that works. You either believe that god made man in his image as is, or that man evolved from a primate. which is it?

...You jumped from the big bang to evolution. Whatever.
It can easily be both. "Made" is not synonymous with "Made from nothing as a human might perceive it". The creation of the heavens and the earth is a process that could've taken an astronomical amount of time to a living human but to a timeless higher-dimensional creator it could happen in an instant. There is of course no way to explain this to Moses other than "I made it"
