10 Questions every Atheist must answer

Here are some questions for the atheist who considers their position as based on evidence and reason. The comments stopped putting responses with the comments so I turned them off. Now that I am using firefox, I am going to try turning them on again. If you really want to try your answers, PM.

1. If there is no God, why is there anything at all?
2. Where is the evidence that life could have begun without intelligent interference?
3. How can evolution explain features of irreducible complexity apart from intelligent intervention?
4. How can the evolutionary model be true since the fossil record clearly shows most major groups emerging at the same time?
5. If there is no objective standard of right or wrong, how can anything be wrong?
6. So which is the logically defensible position?—that matter eternally existed (or came into existence by itself for no reason), and then by itself arranged itself into extraordinarily complex living systems including not only mechanisms but huge amounts of information needed for life to function against everything observed in real science? Or that an eternal self existing being with infinite intelligence, created life and the information systems necessary for life to exist, agreeing with real science?
7.How can natural selection produce something that is a prerequisite for natural selection to operate?
8. If scientists almost totally accept that a signal from outer space containing information that could be interpreted as a string of prime numbers would be proof of extraterrestrial intelligence, why would they not accept that the information coding in the nucleus of the simplest cells dna which is equivalent to the information in a full set of encyclopedia Britannica was the result of intelligence?
9. What if God is real as described in the bible and you have to stand before him and give an account for your life? Do you have a list of reasons for why you never accepted Him? Under close scrutiny, will those reasons betray the fact that you dont want to believe and will stick with anything that sounds good rather than look into it too seriously?
10. If I answered all your objections to your satisfaction, would you submit your life to Jesus or recognize God as your creator?

@GunneLPercher Ok the Kalam argument is a popular it involves infinite regress and first cause but I can't explain it fully here, have you heard it and what do you think?

When you TRULY understand why you reject all other gods, you'll understand why I reject yours. You dont need a god (supernatural) to fill in any gap in your knowledge. Dont let your indoctrinated fear control your ability for logic and reason.

@GunneLPercher As the bible was put together so long after all these prophecies were made and fulfilled I personally don't put much faith in them.

The problems I have with the bible are things like, The Noah's Ark story, The acceptance of slavery, The earth being about 6,000 years old, The stoning to death of unruly children, The curing of leprosy by killing birds etc, Handicapped people banned from the alter, God sends two bears to rip apart 42 boys for making fun of Elisha's bald head etc.

@GunneLPercher You say I'm "dancing around the point" about the start of the universe. I say I'm just being honest by saying I don't know, and no one does for sure. You say a god did it which is fine for you. But I'm an athiest that treats all religions and god(s) with the same respect so you'll then have to convince me which of the 2,500 gods ,approx, did it.

@GunneLPercher I think the catholic chuch accepting evolution is a big deal because it goes against creationist arguments unless you think the catholic church are atheists.

You're an intelligent man so I won't argue any further with you about evolution. All I have to say is 99.85% of Americas Earth Life scientists belive in it. My source is in the following link and you can contact them If you have evidence that evolution is incorrect:-

@GunneLPercher There were far more books left out than is contained in the apocrypha.

@GunneLPercher Imagine a puddle, shaped in a very specific way because of the contours of the land that it's on. All the puddle-people say to themselves: "look at how great our world is. It's shaped perfectly to fit the exact conditions that we need to live. If anything was even slightly different, we might not be able to exist anymore."

Is that puddle special? No. If the ground was shaped differently you'd just have a different kind of puddle, and puddle-people. I hope that analogy helps.

@GunneLPercher By the New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha.

Biblical prophecy though is notoriously difficult to prove correct, because exterior corroborating evidence is usually scarce, and it's often hard to prove that the text wasn't actually written AFTER the event in question

But the fact remains, if there are mis-prophecies, wouldn't that throw the whole thing into doubt?

[studiortj]

@GunneLPercher Wouldn't a loving God who wants his people to believe in him though do what it took for them to know that he existed, and be healed?

And no, that's incorrect. From your own belief system, Satan and the demons believe God exists, yet they still do what they want. The fact that people would all suddenly believe in God would not take away free choice.

True, but again, I said a small group AND only really one study. I think if it's true, it should hold up to additional studies.

After following this thread for awhile, I suspected that GunneLPercher is egocentric, conceited, and self-righteous. His ad hoc comments are arrogant and condescending. I now know that my suspicion are well ground. Every posting of his proves it! What a solipsist ass.
