There is no GOD. There NEVER was a GOD. There never will be a GOD.

The sooner people realize this the more saner and peacful world we wil live in.

[HoodedThis]

Why would a loving and omniscient God design evolution, when he knows beforehand that 98% of the species he designed will not even survive? Nature has evolved without the need of a designer. Why is it that we have to make room for Him in everything?

@JaytheOstrich I always thought that Milton portrayed Satan in a very interesting way. Satans arguement was interesting just as the philosophical implications of quantum realities leave us with more questions than answers.

[JaytheOstrich]

@AmericanPatriot53 Heh heh.. a "just" God.. that's a funny one.

[AmericanPatriot53]

@AMikeOnLine The omnipotent arguement is not based on omnipotence in the religious sense as I am not making a religious arguement. It is simply the demonstration that one action can result in a reaction in the non local sense at the quantum level (Einsteins spooky effect) Your arguement is more along Satans arguement to Eve in Miltons Paradise lost. "God can not harm you for partaking of the fruit because it would not be just and if he be not just he can not be God." This more philosophical.

@AmericanPatriot53 I have a couple of problems with that.

If any entity has these properties then it can limit its own ability to perform actions and hence it cannot perform all actions, yet, on the other hand, if it cannot limit its own actions, then that is—straight off—something it cannot do. This implies that an omnipotent being’s ability to limit itself necessarily means that it will, indeed, limit itself therefore it could not be Omnipotent in the FIRST place.

[AmericanPatriot53]

@AMikeOnLine Proving God is beyond current scientific abilities. Even though we are still very early in the study of quantum physics, M theory and other scientific evidence dealing with questions of existence, time and consciousness. We can put forward reasonable scientific evidence for Omniscience, Omnipresence and Omnipotence (not in the religious sense but in a non local sense.) These 3 qualities are quite possible, this does not prove God but removes the impossibility arguement.

@c6gunner

OKAY YOU DISGRUNTLED ATHEIST BB

[c6gunner]

@EGMAG

Apparently you have long-term memory problems as well; I've already criticized your ridiculous "message". Pointing out your other shortcomings is just the icing on the cake. Now unless you have something intelligent to say (hah!) go play somewhere else.

[EGMAG]

@c6gunner quotation marks - grammar<<

You should learn more about the message then about English comprehension and criticizing

[c6gunner]

@EGMAG

lol. You should do stand-up :)

Also, you should stop abusing those poor quotation marks - they never did anything to you.

Oh, and grammar. Work on it.

[EGMAG]

@c6gunner I suggest listening<<

I suggest "you" understand that others just may have more understanding and grasp of the truth then "you" do!

[EGMAG]

@whitefire1997 new eveidence <<

Because new evidence verifies all that I researched and suspected years ago!

[c6gunner]

@EGMAG

You don't understand evolution, you don't understand the connection between matter and energy, and you don't understand the laws of physics. I suggest you do more listening, and less speaking.

[EGMAG]

@whitefire1997 new eveidence <<

As I stated your "belief" in the "new evidence" is false because the "new evidence" is a contrivance and is false evidence!

Matter gives birth to energy and energy gives birth to matter; something had to give birth to both energy and matter. Makes sense to you yet, huh?

[whitefire1997]

@SapphireDiamond19 God loves you? Have you really read the bible? That is abuse.

[whitefire1997]

@EGMAG Newton knew the orbit of the planets were eliptical but he didnt prove it till someone dared him. He had to invent calculus to do so. So to that point the glimps of matter they see is enough for me to say yes, it can. Energy gave birth to matter. You say you researched evolution decades ago so why can't it be that your previous research is false and that new eveidence may shed light that previously left you blinded to truths. It is a virtue to accept change in our concept of reality.

[EGMAG]

@whitefire1997 out of nowhere <,

I read all about it. I will say "they" THINK they created matter from nothing. The "process", as you say, is one that is highly suspicious & NOT of any consequence. Who said you cannot create matter out of energy anyway. Energy and matter are interchangeable. What your saying is the Big Bang came in essence from ''nowhere''; and that is a scientific contradiction to the laws of physics no matter who disagrees with me!

[whitefire1997]

@EGMAG Actually they have momentarily created matter out of energy, in essence out of nowhere. This is the same process that we would have seen moments after the big bang as energy crashed into each other and created matter, atoms gravitated together smashing all about creating elements and then heavier elements and those elements created in stars exploding into the far corners of the universe eventually created everything. Everything!

@SapphireDiamond19 "If anything is foolish is putting your etenral soul under the wrath of God for all eternity"

This shows me how much of a vile, sadistic, violent, possesive, spiteful, vengeful, evil monster your disgusting god is.

I do not respond at all to your horrible, horrible Christian threats. Your religion is disgusting and you disgust me.

[UncleMatt69]

I AM GOD !  That could be the shrooms talkin'.

[JAWZxz]

@SapphireDiamond19 So this all powerful "God" is encouraging ignorance. I'd rather chance burning in "hell" for eternity than live through this life in ignorance and stupidity. If your "God" is so loving and powerful, why is there so much suffering in the world? If this so called God does nothing to stop this suffering, I'd rather be a Godless heathen.

@wondergundy conclude <<

Concluding potter with a camera and a giant leap has nothing to do with the subject matter here. I got my ideas from discerning good from evil and human history. Nothing to do with your accusations. Not all Jews take O.T. litteraly. You still don't make a universe from nothing; and if you think you do then explain it, because Hawkins tried and failed miserably!

[SapphireDiamond19]

The Bible says in 1 Corithnthians 3:19, that the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. The Bible also says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of the knowledge.(Proverbs 1:7) If anything is foolish is putting your etenral soul under the wrath of God for all eternity esp when you dont have to

[JAWZxz]

@SapphireDiamond19 How do you feel knowing that 99.9% of intelligent and rational people are atheists? Only fools are taken in by the church's promises of "eternal life." Religion is for the meek, for people who can't think for themselves and accept that THIS life, is the only one we'll have. Christians spend far too much time trying to get themselves into an imaginary afterlife that they neglect this one. I hope you one day see sense. Look at the evidence, there is nobody looking out for us.

[wondergundy]

@wondergundy Did you watch Dr.Jacks vid? There was no god in it... Why did you recommend it?
