    Living Organism's : We are actually very close to finding this on other planets. Microbial life is an organism Right? yeah I think so. How would God explain that?

    The Bible itself is made up of Folktales from past civilizations if you don't believe me theres an explanation here


    Part one


    Part 2


    Part 3

    I watched zeitgeist a while ago, good stuff.

    Well I don't believe in god. I've been an atheist since 7th grade, so I think I threw down the BS card pretty early in life.

    I would just like to point out that UFO's do exist....

    UFO = Unidentified Flying Object.

    A UFO can range from a meteor flying through our atmosphere to a giant bird.

    Flying Saucer is the term I think you need to use, or extraterrestrial craft.

    You're saying that people believing in something which has some basis for reality makes them idiots?

    So, the other theories which are completely based on fairy tale are better, right?

    They're all just theories.
    please read the title of the thread
    has anyone proven the big bang theory to really had happen billion years ago? i think not therefore believing in it makes you believe in something that hasn't proven to exist making them idiots for saying people who believes in god and the creation of the universe + ghost and etc are assholes, At least people manage to take ***pictures*** of "ghosts"

    I think several people are getting confused here as to the definition of a "theory." For it to be a theory, there has to be some evidence. Evolution, for instance, is a theory, not because there is no evidence for it, but because the evidence for it is not extensive enough for it to be called a fact. Something with no evidence is simply an idea, or a hypothesis.

    And one more thing; theories are not meant to be "believed." They are meant to be researched, studied, and tested. only when they have been proven right should you "believe" in them, and even then only until new evidence proves it wrong.

    Absolute belief in anything is a bad thing, because there is no guarantee that it won't be proved wrong in the future.

    Hard to believe because science and scientists don't believe "God" exists.

    actually thats where you are wrong. all of the famous scientific figures were religious or held religious beliefs of some kind.

    its also well known that lots of particle physicists and other people in that field also accept the existence of a god, some completely, some as a possibility.

    you see theres only so far you can go, theres only so far human undertanding can take you in these fields and then you come to a dead end, as a scientist you are bid to make the most logical decision, and in these cases the most logical answer is often a higher being. end of.

    so, either we as humans havent advanced enough yet to understand the full complexities of the universe, or god does exist. brings us back to the same old debate, but to say you are religious does not mean you dont approve or accept science, and to say you believe in the principles of science doesnt mean you outright reject religion.

    people need to stop making such black and white distinctions. the world is more complicated than that.

    Much like you can't prove the existence of god. YOU CANNOT PROVE THE NON EXISTENCE. It's unfortunate, but the way we define what a god is can completely separate it from OUR natural existence, but that does not mean it doesn't exist beyond our own existence.

    *ALL* of the 'famous scientific figures'? Perhaps you should reformulate that statement. Also 'religious beliefs' is not equal to believing in a god.
    As you're speaking of the past, "they were religious", one can assume that you mean people in the past. In the past people in a lot of regions were harassed if they weren't following the religion of that region.
    And now we have man-made laws instead of "Divine" laws. Same shit, different package.

    I've never been religious in any way. When we were supposed to sing songs at school I remember that I always stopped singing when the lyrics said something about a god because I thought it was bullcrap.
    1 word... learned. It's impossible to innately disagree with an idea without having first been introduced to the idea, especially a man-made concept. When you're introduced to an idea you also hear opinions, in which you in turn assess and balance it with your already learned ideals. Much like you can't be born a Christian, you aren't born without a lack of imagination for what you otherwise can't see(unless you are mentally stunted maybe). Depending on the way you were brought up(religion, or a lack thereof, specifically), you take 1 of 3(or more) roads in life, 1, you embrace it, 2, you completely rebel against it(that's you wanting to be rebellious), 3, you just ... don't give a crap. There is no "Screw that, I was born anti-christ" or "I was born a Christian". You really choose what you believe, in a semi-hardwired fashion.

    So you, much like someone raised a Christian, probably acts as though they were born that way.

    What you can easily and exactly prove is that there is no, against the exact laws of nature, influence of god at all. (Thats pretty far form getting messages from him or even a glimps of what he is, he just doesn't ever show up.)

    If there is one, he
    1) Isn't here but somewherelse and
    2) Pretty much minds his own buissnes in his unreachable place.

    Even if he could hear what is going on in our minds, or what we pray, he still doesn't change a thing about how the world works.
    Something isn't working the way, that religious people think, is it?

    God = I don't care about nothing, but I do that with 100% determination.
