Just so you know - Athiest does not mean "Mad at God".

Try googling "universe from nothing" before posting ridiculous "impossible questions" online.

@lightandfaith1 Wow, God is so feeble that his 'word' can't stand up to simple logical criticisms. Doesn't that worry you? And which "lord" should Dawkins open his heart to? Allah? Odin? Ra? All seem to have equal likelihood of being true.

So I assume the title of this video was meant to be sarcastic: as in Evolutionists Get "Owned" by Creationists, implying the ownage never actually happened... amirite?

@symsee (assuming he can prove it's the power of ki, of course)

Wasn't jesus being tortured and killed the whole point of God's plan for his son? Surely his torture and death are the greatest thing ever in the mind of a Christian? They should be ecstatically happy and proclaiming how awesome it is that he was tortured and killed, as it fulfilled God's will?...

Oh, and the "Laws" you're talking about are descriptive, not prescriptive...

The laws don't make the universe behave the way it does, they're just a description of it. Just like saying "you have blue eyes" is not the thing which causes your eyes to be blue.

If the universe were different, th...

You've missed the point: you make specific claims about God, yet those claims are different to (and at odds with) the God claims of other faiths, NONE of which can be definitively shown to be "correct".

Again, you're indulging in special pleading for your own God.

You have yet to demonstrate th...

Group C - we've looked at the evidence and concluded there is no God without having an emotional attachment to it.

@SciBishop I'd agree with that :) I would have like to have seen a clearer representation of Christian beliefs than this eclectic jumble of rambling pop-philosophy.

I was going to say that these people are divorced from reality, but I'm fairly certain these people and reality didn't even go out on a date.

How are any of these things "clues" for existence of God? They could equally be clues for magical universe organising pixies! Or... wait... here's one; natural laws which follow from entirely non-mystical events.

@smurfboywv I did read it (the whole thing actually,in a couple of different versions) - I honestly wanted to find something in there too. After reading it, though, I just couldn't understand why people find it convincing or authentic. Maybe I lacked the childhood indoctrination etc, but I didn...

"I personally believe that phlogiston theory should be taught in school, because how physics really works is up to the individual beliefs, and not at all based on physical existence."

:/

@Giagantus Indeed; I've noticed a number of seemingly "single edged" european weapons which actually have a sharpened false edge - occasionally this sharpening only runs partway up the false edge of the blade (perhaps 12 inches or so); presumably to allow key techniques with the false which rely ...

Interestingly, these questions could equally apply Christians, who without exception hold subjective opinions on interpretation of the bible.

This just adds questions to include "how do you know your subjective interpretation of what you suggest is an objective standard, is objectively right?"...

@NintendoFreak1992 Yeah, but that's okay, because without technology those damned atheists could be persecuted at will by the religious majority, and nobody would be any the wiser! ;-)

@carmvideos Fair enough.Thanks for clearing that up.

@symsee You are entirely subject to your upbringing - to the way your brain was trained: is that "free will". Certainly later influences (ie. learning) may induce you to break from this upbringing, but then... is that truly free, or just influence of later learning.

Could it be that our behavio...

@antiform47 Actually evolution has resulted in many viable social structures across a wide variety of species which form part of the basis for morality.

I'm confused as to why you say "God" when based on your own words, you should be saying "an unknown process which does not adhere to the physics of a material universe"...why a God?

You could slot whatever you like here, slap an "eternal and uncaused" label on it and your argument works just t...

@davidfitzy1306 I like that idea... a great notion.
