@dalasoft We don't live in a "Survival of the fittest" environment anymore though, so to say that morals come from there is moot. Morals likely came about as the human mind became more evolved and advanced, and once humans realized that society can function in a much more economically advantageous way when we produce what we have a competitive advantage in. In other words, morals came about because humans can accomplish more together, and this is something we still BARELY understand today.
@dalasoft This idea of humanitarianism is something that has only come about within the last 50-75 years. There truly is nothing more MORAL than humanitarianism, it is the true view that we are all equal, and your Bible has certainly not instilled the idea that we are all equal, my friend. In fact, you're piece of shit Bible says slavery is right and gays are evil, WHAT THE FUCK IS MORAL ABOUT THAT?! And don't even say, that's the old testament, the old testament is the UNCENSORED testament.
@Dennissays I don't deny slavery happened in the old testament era but for one to judge without the knowledge of how a social or society fits their needs then I must say that individual is an idiot. You should acknowledge the fact that Jesus taught "love your neighbors as yourself" and this contradicted the old concept or teaching because society changes.
@dalasoft True, I must grant you that the word of Jesus is a good one, but Jesus is NOT God, God is an extremely immoral being and the idea that "God loves everyone" is an absolute joke. God has broken one of the seven deadly sins with his policy of eternal damnation in hell. If you do not accept God, he sends you to hell, thus God is a selfish God and I think that you will realize that Jesus (if he even existed) is the only story worth telling, GOD is not worthy of anyone's praise.
@Dennissays Jesus is technically God but in different form that's why christian needs to believe in him. God does not want you to go to hell but He can't take you with him if you do not wish to go to him. God does not send you to hell. If you're in hell it is because you were captured by people from hell just like this professor said: v=8vj0qKthCgg
@Dennissays You do not need to bow like a slave or like the Muslim do but rejection will not secure you a place in it. Believe what you want but know the fact through scientific evidence:
@dalasoft Thanks for your open mind, even when I was angry in my responses. I am not afraid of death, Heaven (hypothetically) is filled with the ex-child mollesters, murders, and rapists that "FIND" God after being incarcerated. I'd rather be in hell with people who were able to think for themselves. But of course, neither exist and there is no reason to believe it.
@Dennissays "Heaven is filled with the ex-child mollesters, murders, and rapists"
There may be criminals in heaven but at least they have repented their crimes and committed to not do again . However, in hell there are the worst criminals. They all are criminals with intention to do evil. Just watch the professor and you will get a grip of what might happen. "But of course, neither exist"
Well, If you don't believe the evidence presented through scientific study then perhaps (contd)
I dont see how dawkins doesn't lose it. These people think they are so right with ZERO evidence. Everytime they say God or Jesus etc. put in the word leprechaun or Unicorn. Its the same thing.
The Irish guy on the panel was well spoken, and presented his opinions well without having a hissy fit. I disagree with him as I'm an atheist, but it was nice to see a Christian putting their opinions over without screaming about love, design, morality etc etc.
Majority of Late Late Show studio audiences more now than ever, seem to be a herd of Imbeciles. + i dont believe the TAM ratings (viewership) for the show. Maybe im an antiLLSiest
"Belief in God gives hope to so many..." It's FALSE hope. I don't need an illusion backed by human imagination to make me feel better. Reality makes me feel better, and the knowledge I can take action to change things.
@TheManagement420 The Bearded guy doesn't have a point at all. The difference between having love from god and having love from a human is that humans are in existence and you can get to know them personally and tell when their telling the truth and how they really feel. You can only pretend that with god.
I find it funny that theists mock atheists' need for evidence. They do it because they don't /have/ evidence for what they believe, and they think that mocking the need for evidence to believe will justify their own beliefs in some way. It's weird and funny in a strange Mighty Boosh kind of way.
many many pure scientists end up thinking there has to be a superior creator thats where science leads therefore faith people are just ahead of the game
@justaffsian01 "many many pure scientists end up thinking there has to be a superior creator thats where science leads therefore faith people are just ahead of the game "
Chewbacca is basically trying to say personal testimonies count as evidence...well tough shit, no it doesn't. Ancient Greeks had personal relationship with Apollo and Zeus, as recorded in historical documents, are any of them true?
@Casshyr I make a claim of ONE God ( Allah, Lord, Gud, Khuda, etc ) then I will produce the evidence to back it up!
Anyone who claims of "zeus, apollo, thor " etc or anything for that matter has to back it up!
You do not need to disprove the divinity of "zeus, apollo, thor etc", But if you claim the divinity of anyone besides God, you need to prove your claim.
I did not claim the divinity of anyone besides God!
The one who claims anything is supposed to prove what he claims!
@Casshyr We discover the existence of an objective law from within the totality of phenomena that it is capable of interpreting. If, then, the establishment of scientific truth is possible only by means of direct sensation, the majority of scientific truths will have to be discarded, since many scientific facts cannot be perceived by means of sensory experience or testing.
@1tabligh yes anyone who makes the claim of a God needs to back it up with evidence. You say you have evidence, lets hear it then. Keep in mind: using the Bible to prove itself is circular logic (besides, all religions will use their own texts to prove themselves, and they all claim their texts are infallible), and using personal testimony, as I already illustrated, is a fail as well.
@Casshyr When the experimental sciences demonstrate that the elements and natural facrtors cannot exert any independent influence and do not possess any creativity; when all of our experiences, our sensory feelings, and our rational deductions point to the conclusion that nothing occurs in nature without a reason and cause and that all phenomena are based on an established system and specific laws, when all of this is the case, it is surprising that some people turn their backs on
@Casshyr scientific principles, primary deductions and propositions based on reflection, and deny the existence of the Creator.
Now, too, in the age of science and technology, when man has found his way into space, a considerable number of scientists have a religious outlook as part of the intellectual system; they have come to believe in the existence of a creator, a source for all beings, not only by means of the heart and the conscience, but also through deduction and logic.
@1tabligh i'm already sort of a deist myself, so i don't deny the existence of some kind of creator. But my argument is when you jump from a general God (aka general theism) to a specific God (ex. Muslim), it takes a huge amount of faith, and i have yet to see any credible evidence to justify for this leap. Of course, in the end, u r free to believe in whatever u want, but for me, i just don't see why i should do so.
@Casshyr Call Him by whatever name you like (Allah, Jehovah, God, Merciful, Bhagwan etc), as long as the word is not contaminated, (does not conjure up a mental picture)
The one who claims anything is supposed to prove what he claims!
I did not claim the divinity of anyone besides ONE God!
If you claim the divinity of anyone besides God, you need to prove your claim.
@1tabligh Yes, the one who claims anything has to prove it. You claim divinity for one God. So prove it. Same for Christians. Same for anybody. The only group who doesn't have to prove anything is the atheists/agnostics, who simply only need to reject, because non-existence is the default position that requires no burden of proof.
@Casshyr If We say Muhammad, We conjure up a mental picture of an arab, who lived in mecka 1356 years ago .. or something like that, therefore Muhammad is not God, why? because we conjure up something in the mind. Similarly any words like Jesus (a jew, Bethlehem, .. AD), Budha etc or any creation are NOT to be used for God.
@Casshyr If someone claims that you are an angel, he has to prove it. I do not need to prove that you are a man because you appear as a man and have all the attributes of a man.
The one who claims that you are an angel is supposed to prove what he claims, because his claim is contrary to the common sense and to what appears as the actual fact.
@1tabligh but if you are a Muslim, you are claiming there is Allah, one whose orders are described in Quran. That's ur claim, one in which you (+ rest of u guys) fail to back up with evidence without resorting to circular logic.
@Casshyr evidence without resorting to circular logic.
------
God and Empirical Logic.
One of the most destructive and misleading factors in thoughts concerning God is to restrict one's thought to the "logic" of the empirical sciences and to *fail* to recognize the *limits* and boundaries of that "logic".
Is that which is necessary in essence and which is considered the first source of existence matter itself or something else beyond the limits of matter?
@1tabligh what you describe is merely evidence for a general theism. And while i more or less agree (i'm a deist), it is no where good enough for someone like an atheist because you are basically saying "since we can't study it, there has to be something out there!". That's kinda like the debate for aliens. We don't have technology to probe all parts of universe (i.e. the limitation). Some think yes, others think no. But this is all interpretation, not actual evidence.
@Casshyr When a person says that Jesus or Mohammad is a man, and not a God, he agrees with the accepted definition. Jesus lived like a man, looked like a man, slept as a man, ate as a man, and was persecuted like one. None of these facts need proof. This is not the case with the one who claims his divinity.
@Casshyr His claim is opposed to the common knowledge. Therefore, he, and no one else, has to provide the evidence for his claim. Although the Muslims are not supposed to provide any evidence for the denial of the divinity of " an *"individual devised god"*, "zeus, apollo, thor etc" or Jesus, they can present more than one evidence.
I did not claim the divinity of anyone besides ONE God!
The one who claims anything is supposed to prove what he claims!
Do scientific discoveries and knowledge cause such a scientist to conclude that matter, *unknowing and unperceiving *, is his creator and that of all beings?
No?
Then how can the duped atheists and some of the scientists delude themselve and *believe* that hydrogen and oxygen, electrons and protons, should first produce themselves, then be the source for all other beings, and finally decree the laws that regulate themselves and the rest of the material world?
@1tabligh u are using the logic of "since science can't tell us that, this means God did it!". That's wrong. The only logical conclusion from that claim is simply "we don't know yet, and hopefully one day we will have the evidence to know this".
And furthermore, this only points to a general deity, not a specific deity like what majority of theists claim. To support a specific deity you would need to go to religious books, which then make u assert the claim that ancient ppl know more than we do.
@Casshyr If man, through the application of scientific instruments and criteria, cannot perceive the existence of a thing, he cannot deny its existence simply because it is incompatible with material criteria, unless he disposes of some proof that the thing in question is impossible.
@1tabligh yes i understand your statement, but if we holds this to be true, then infinite number of possibilities exist: maybe we're inside a Matrix, we can't detect that! Maybe God is Thor, or Zeus. Maybe aliens from another dimension created us. Maybe it's Allah. Maybe Hindus got it right. Or the Shintoists.
In the end, this kind of argument brings no actual scientific benefit to our society. How does saying "God did it" ever bring anything helpful to science?
How could some of the scientists permit themselves to make a claim that would necessitate knowledge as extensive as the scheme of the universe, when their knowledge of the total scheme of being is *close* to zero, when confronted with a whole mass of unknowns concerning this very earth and tangible, lifeless matter, let alone the whole universe?
A lot of theists seem to be using the argument "God is very important to me, let me believe it cuz it makes me happy"...of course you can believe in it! Nobody is taking away your freedom to do so! The idea is to NOT FORCE others do it! Keep your religion to yourselves, plz.
@jamn7152 you cant blame ignorance for someone taking your comment for what is was(or a appeared to be).if you dont think it,fair enough,but there are a lot of idiots out there so im more likely to assume you are bieng a typical,thick,internet troll then anything else.
One of the worst things about this video is the comments of the pathetic people running along the bottom of the screen and the beginning of this section.
They demonstrate the true reason for belief, a mind-numbing fear of life.
@jman7152 the fact you say a whole nation are stupid just from watching a few irish people you have seen on a tv clip ,shows that it is in fact you, who is stupid......
@reeceyhiggs Clearly I don't think everyone in Ireland is stupid. I didn't think anyone would be ignorant enough to assume I was implying that everyone in the country was dumb. But yes, judging from this video, it's a completely logical point to make.
I cannot stand when someone asks what happened before the big bang. Regardless of the answer given the response is always it must have been god. How do they not realize that they are avoiding the question. Ignoring something is not answering a question. The presence of a god does not solve the problem it does the opposite.
The scrolling bar of messages is just a conveyor belt of ignorance and fear, it actually makes me angry seeing people like Sue say that Dawkins is a "disgrace" for daring to actually question these ludicrous beliefs. According to her whether something provides "hope" is far more important than whether it's true or not and as far as I'm concerned anyone with that position is being anti-science. Relgion doesn't even have a monopoly on "hope", if anything it provides the most meaningless kind.
These guys are all the same. They talk about the appearance of design, the cosmological constant "fine-tuning", or why there's something rather than nothing, etc. You morons, that gets you to Deism at best, but it will never get you to Christianity, miracles or anybody listening to your prayers. Indeed intercessory prayer has been studied and surprise surprise, IT DOESN'T WORK. Prayer, which is a big portion of Christianity (I used to be a Christian), is a completely childish waste of time.
This Richard Dawkins is a moron , how on earth is evidence a women looking in the eye and smiling at you or catches in the voice etc that she loves you ! Which planet you live you stupid phsycho , have you ever been cheated from somebody ! The women or man does all those things yet she or he cheats , there you have it ! You have to have big big monsterous faith to believe that Fish developed wings and started flying , cos you never saw it happen !
@s4m10sug1 You look at the evidence when it comes to romans but you don't like to look for evidence when it comes to God ! Fish didn't develop wings , but no matter how many years it took still had to be someone who took that decision to fly ! There must have been some sort of creature which started flying out of the blue , this nonsene is made up to refute God's existence cos if they accept that we were created then nobody would praise them anymore , thats the whole thing
I was a christian for 25+ years. The reason I gave up my faith is because I could not find any evidence for the existence of ANY god. Ancient texts and anecdotal accounts does not constitute evidence, especially when there are so many religions with different gods.
@s4m10sug1 I believe you , but you were thinking just because christianity doesn't make a lot of sense you rejected God ! Many people have done that , because they dont want to explore what else is there appart from christianity , they are not really looking for the truth , they just say ou my faith doesn't make sense therefore God doesn't exist ! Many people don't investigate to find the truth cos they are living in the comfort zone , only when they get in trouble they start lookin
As I said, all the religions have their holy books and accounts from all kinds of people who claim to have witnessed miracles related to their god. None of these are hard evidence. They seem more like fairytale stuff: Jesus walking on water, Elijah in a chariot of fire, Muhammad on a flying horse, Vishnu riding a giant bird-like creature...
There is no reason to believe any of these are anything other than myths and legends.
@s4m10sug1 Not all , don't try to generalise here? how are all the same when Quran is in the original form , and all the rest are copies of copies of copies of copies etc ? how are all the same when Quran is unique and god speaks to the humans directly , asking them to observe what is around them? How is all the same when Quran has more scientific evidence than any other book ? How is all the same when science goes hand to hand with Quran , not with any other book ? the same!
That`s all the other religions say about their holy books. That they are the only true word of God(s). There`s no reason to believe that any of them are better or contain more truth than the others. All the religions claim to have a special relationship with God yet they provide no evidence (ancient writings are not evidence). In this aspect they are the same.
@s4m10sug1 All religions say about their holy book , yeah but we have a brain and use reason to distinguish which one is false and which is not ! we also know how to read and compare ! There is something called investigation , there are plenty of people who sell dodgy stuff out there but we use our brain to distinguish which one is real and which is fake , we don't just ignore and don't buy at all ! Read the main holy books and you will see which one is superior !
@s4m10sug1 Many people are put off by the fact that there are many religions out there and many Gods , but we use our brain in order to distinguish which religion is right and wich one is wrong based on the evidence they present , same as we use our brain in our everyday life when we decide which things are fake and wich things are original ! you just have to study more . How many religions have you studied apart from christianity ? I would say not much !
As I said, all the religions have their holy books and accounts from all kinds of people who claim to have witnessed miracles related to their god. None of these are hard evidence.

@raheelak29 I have no basic understanding of things which dont make sense not science ! Science has nothing to do with evolving from a single cell and becoming with souls and intelligent , i don't buy that ! whoever wants to buy it , go ahead
3:05 i always used to think Pat Kenny was a plank now i respect him. thought he would be an uptight religous freak that just goes along with all that stuff cos hes irish
How come people all the time go back to "How would you feel if this and this and this happened" as if that had anything at all to do with what is true or not? One's feelings about what happens in the world and to oneself has nothing to do with what is true and what is actually happens in the world. People need to realize that their need for empathy and meaning has no bearing on how the universe works.
I've seen this "interview" format before -- an entire audience or panel gangs up on Richard. It's telling that we think nothing of doing this when someone is an atheist, but it would be unthinkable to subject a Catholic priest to this on TV.
@cajal6 I can hardly bear to watch it, but my impression is that Dawkins enjoys that sort of thing. He seems to relish any opportunity to talk to people about these topics.
Hehe. True, but I think Dawkins handles it (even welcomes it). Afterall, he's heard all these points before, and he actively searches-out any genuinely new, interesting points.
Of course, it's also telling that an "atheist" who gets out in public to debate can generally easily handle all the religious points that people can throw at him or her. :)
What a ridiculous interview format. Some weird philosopher guy to examine Dawkins like a psychiatrist. Imagine them doing that with a priest- have a scientist sit next to him pointing out when he started talking shit. Catch up Ireland!!
Guy at 6:40 is no scientist. Complexity is no proof of a god, neither is morality. Morality is often well explained by both anthropology and psychology (and is also a highly relativistic term in and of itself)
Alright. So religion is PURELY based on faith, NO evidence, and NO logic. Basically, Dawkins isn't attacking those who simply believe in him, he's attacking those who FORCE this "faith" on everyone else. If there is a leap of faith involved, why are you pushing people over the edge, when they don't want to jump?
Dave is an idiot. Christians go to prison and get divorced and have less knowledge of religion overall than do Atheist. Atheist tend to act more like Christ and live morally more so than do Christians. Atheist live with and deal with the results of their actions, we can't just go pray the guilt away. Atheist are just more responsible people.
I suggest to the viewers of this to watch on youtube the video THE ELEGANT UNIVERSE; in it top scientists explain in an easy way the origins of this universe without the need for any god. To believe in any god at the present time is for ignorant people like in the old days when they believed in the rain god because they did not understand the water cycle, now even children understand that cycle and that god is gone.
people in general are dumb what is 237847474785 times 7538659236538 if you and 7 billon people tried to work this out and the each number was placed randomly and 7 billon people wanted to work it out and this was a on going equasion the sega saturn cpu would work it out more than 7 billon times faster thats why people believe in god
"Dead-to-the-spirit deluded "God Delusion" author & blithering fool scientist goon Richard Dawkins another "leader" given to the profane masses is another useful idiot for Jesuit machinations"
Jesuitical: pertaining to the Jesuits or their principals; designing; cunning; deceitful; prevaricating
The Jesuit Order completely altered the education system to suit their Evo-Hoax Agenda to discredit the Bible. Papacy cant have a Satanic society of 'Do as Thou Wilt' if people still follow the Bible
The moron at 5.40 says he's a scientist and then trots out the usual argument from ignorance and credulity ie everything is complicated therefore God did it. Then of course the obligatory, and in my view sinister, occult basis of morality, ie we need a supreme overseer to give us any moral compass.
I feel genuinely sorry for Richard Dawkins. He has been bombarded by the same wave of unflinching ignorance for years. He gets such a bad press these days for being 'intolerant', and 'arrogant'. I am honestly puzzled as to how he hasn't gone insane. You cant reason with a mind that has been conditioned to believe in something that defies reason, yet he still tries, time and time again. He isn't being pompous, look past your immediate reactions and listen to what he is saying.
Dawkins is tenacious, same as anytime ive seen him on tv or listened to an interview. What people dislike about him is his incessant logic that comes across as bullying and belittling. He's entrenched in his beliefs and the people he debates with likewise. It's a no win situation, but more power to him for his energy!
How could some of the scientists permit themselves to make a claim that would necessitate knowledge as extensive as the scheme of the universe, when their knowledge of the total scheme of being is *close* to zero, when confronted with a whole mass of unknowns concerning this very earth and tangible, lifeless matter, let alone the whole universe?
I got to the age when I could start to think for myself? I bet if I told you I could think for myself when I was a kid, you would say I had a mental dissorder as this stupid society alwayse does. There are so many stupid things in this society. I don't care what you say, "social-skills" doesn't make any sense. And theres actually no such thing. It's caled "showing-off" And what you call manners as to what you teach your children is called "hypocracy". There should be a "culture delusion" book.

2) "Is God a Delusion?" lecture with panel response (unless Dawkins shows up to debate!)
Run, Dawkins, run!! Keep running from Dr. Craig, from debate, from truth. That's the best thing you can do to keep your followers!!!!!!!!
In case you followers don't know, he's been avoiding Dr. Craig, for he... is afraid to death of debating him!!! LOL... Even an atheist publicly accused him of cowardice!!!
I have to say Dawkin's opponent, Dr.Jared Casey, is very sensible and doesn't make the typical theistic errors and claims. I can respect him on a lot points but I am also finding difficulty as to where and why he's religious. It doesn't help that every other phrase out of his mouth is "and I agree with Dawkins" or "Dawkins is very correct in that regard" lol Does anyone else think he's a closet atheist or on the brink of converting AGAIN?
The comments in that ticker are maddening, how can anyone express such thoughtless, childish sentiments in a such a serious way? Without faith your life would be empty? your life sounds rather empty already, get a hobby, read a book, adopt a dog, or a cat, even, and please, PLEASE stop lying to yourself and everyone around you. Religion offers us nothing we don't already have within us, and it's used as an excuse for the ugliest and most wicked human traits.
@thesearewarningsigns Here here! Well said. Religion has been the source of the most horrible atrocities! Check out "The cross and the cresent" here on utube.
Dismiss WHAT evidence? The design of the universe? What design? Black holes & countless lifeless rocks? Pretty shitty design. I doubt that guy is a scientist... & if he is, he's a pretty shitty one.
Dear mr scientist christian religion is suppose to be based on faith and spirituality and guidance who shouldn't careless what people say if its true or not because if you do then obviously your putting your beliefs as a factual life style over what really facts which is what causes the crusades and inquisition the repress of the Anglo Saxons into the mid evil erra who put faith first to stop the rather then science

@TheManagement420 The Bearded guy doesn't have a point at all. The difference between having love from god and having love from a human is that humans are in existence and you can get to know them personally and tell when their telling the truth and how they really feel. You can only pretend that with god.

I find it funny that theists mock atheists' need for evidence. They do it because they don't /have/ evidence for what they believe, and they think that mocking the need for evidence to believe will justify their own beliefs in some way. It's weird and funny in a strange Mighty Boosh kind of way.

@Casshyr I make a claim of ONE God ( Allah, Lord, Gud, Khuda, etc ) then I will produce the evidence to back it up!
Anyone who claims of "zeus, apollo, thor " etc or anything for that matter has to back it up!
You do not need to disprove the divinity of "zeus, apollo, thor etc", But if you claim the divinity of anyone besides God, you need to prove your claim.

@Casshyr We discover the existence of an objective law from within the totality of phenomena that it is capable of interpreting. If, then, the establishment of scientific truth is possible only by means of direct sensation, the majority of scientific truths will have to be discarded, since many scientific facts cannot be perceived by means of sensory experience or testing.
1tabligh 3 weeks ago
@1tabligh yes anyone who makes the claim of a God needs to back it up with evidence. You say you have evidence, lets hear it then. Keep in mind: using the Bible to prove itself is circular logic (besides, all religions will use their own texts to prove themselves, and they all claim their texts are infallible), and using personal testimony, as I already illustrated, is a fail as well.

@Casshyr When the experimental sciences demonstrate that the elements and natural facrtors cannot exert any independent influence and do not possess any creativity; when all of our experiences, our sensory feelings, and our rational deductions point to the conclusion that nothing occurs in nature without a reason and cause and that all phenomena are based on an established system and specific laws, when all of this is the case, it is surprising that some people turn their backs on

@Casshyr scientific principles, primary deductions and propositions based on reflection, and deny the existence of the Creator.
Now, too, in the age of science and technology, when man has found his way into space, a considerable number of scientists have a religious outlook as part of the intellectual system; they have come to believe in the existence of a creator, a source for all beings, not only by means of the heart and the conscience, but also through deduction and logic.
1tabligh 3 weeks ago
@1tabligh i'm already sort of a deist myself, so i don't deny the existence of some kind of creator. But my argument is when you jump from a general God (aka general theism) to a specific God (ex. Muslim), it takes a huge amount of faith, and i have yet to see any credible evidence to justify for this leap. Of course, in the end, u r free to believe in whatever u want, but for me, i just don't see why i should do so.

@Casshyr evidence without resorting to circular logic.

God and Empirical Logic.
One of the most destructive and misleading factors in thoughts concerning God is to restrict one's thought to the "logic" of the empirical sciences and to *fail* to recognize the *limits* and boundaries of that "logic".
Is that which is necessary in essence and which is considered the first source of existence matter itself or something else beyond the limits of matter?

@1tabligh what you describe is merely evidence for a general theism. And while i more or less agree (i'm a deist), it is no where good enough for someone like an atheist because you are basically saying "since we can't study it, there has to be something out there!". That's kinda like the debate for aliens. We don't have technology to probe all parts of universe (i.e. the limitation). Some think yes, others think no. But this is all interpretation, not actual evidence.

@Casshyr When a person says that Jesus or Mohammad is a man, and not a God, he agrees with the accepted definition. Jesus lived like a man, looked like a man, slept as a man, ate as a man, and was persecuted like one. None of these facts need proof. This is not the case with the one who claims his divinity.

@Casshyr His claim is opposed to the common knowledge. Therefore, he, and no one else, has to provide the evidence for his claim.

@1tabligh u are using the logic of "since science can't tell us that, this means God did it!". That's wrong. The only logical conclusion from that claim is simply "we don't know yet, and hopefully one day we will have the evidence to know this".
And furthermore, this only points to a general deity, not a specific deity like what majority of theists claim. To support a specific deity you would need to go to religious books, which then make u assert the claim that ancient ppl know more than we do.

Faith = The voiced in your head is God, telling you to take the trash out.
Faithless = Remembering to take the trash out.
