    Do you believe in fate or destiny?

    And what makes you think that you will be able to do that?

    Do you believe in fate or destiny?

    Just exactly how do you avoid your fate?

    (Theists Only) Why do you think atheists reject the existence of deities?

    From what I've read on this forum and others the atheists seem to think that religion is just man-made and henceforth not trustworthy since man is fallible.

    What is wrong with those people who don't believe in God?

    Reasoning can be fallacious, what I'm talking about is evidence that does not rely on reasoning. Besides, it could be that there is in fact no such thing as causality and what we perceive to be it might just be a coincidence that cause always precedes the effect.

    What is wrong with those people who don't believe in God?

    You are free to believe whatever you want to, but without evidence I'm not buying it.

    What is wrong with those people who don't believe in God?

    I think that you're confusing religion with people who claim to be religious. Do you have any proof that the Abrahamic religions were created by men?

    What is wrong with those people who don't believe in God?

    And just what is the evidence that God was invented by men to control?

    A Universe from Nothing?

    Look, I've said this before and now I'll repeat myself, that is the wave-particle duality. It's not that objects don't exist until we observe them, but rather objects have both wave and particle-like properties. I know this goes against our everyday logic, but it could be that quantum entities...

    A Universe from Nothing?

    If that were the case, then the Buddha's teachings would come naturally to most people, yet most people still cling onto things they think will bring them happiness while trying to avoid those which they think will bring them pain. This is the opposite of what Buddha taught. The Buddha taught...

    A Universe from Nothing?

    While there might be some merit to that statement, basically Buddhism disputes it. The Four Noble Truths state that suffering is a result of ignorance, so it would only be prudent to obviate it (ignorance).

    A Universe from Nothing?

    Really? I thought that in Buddhism enlightenment is a personal experience. Sure, in Mahayana Buddhism others can help you in achieving it, but you still have to experience it for yourself. What's the use of this Transmission of the Light, then?

    A Universe from Nothing?

    If that's the case, then forgive me if I'm suspicious about its validity in making claims about reality. How can we know that this 'direct realization' method as any merit whatsoever? What if we realize something that is wrong? At least in science we can test our theories.

    A Universe from Nothing?

    How about the fact that the total energy of the universe is exactly zero? Look, wasn't it you who said that nothing is masquerading as something? Well, I happen to agree with that, meaning that everything we think we see around us is really just an illusion.

    A Universe from Nothing?

    So, are you saying that that theory is unfalsifiable, henceforth prohibiting it from being a scientific one?

    Do you believe in God?

    We can still add to infinity, you know, so that doesn't mean that it necessarily possesses everything within itself.

    A Universe from Nothing?

    Can you prove that our logic is always in accord with reality?

    Do you believe in God?

    Umm, no it doesn't. Why would it? Where did you get such an idea?

    A Universe from Nothing?

    Like I said that is just an interpretation of quantum mechanics, it doesn't necessarily depict what is actually going on. What you're touching on here is the wave-particle duality, it may be weird, but like I said it could just be that our logic is faulty.

    Do you believe in God?

    Are you saying that infinity cannot exist in the real world?

    A Universe from Nothing?

    Quantum mechanics does not invalidate materialism. Just because particles dissolve into probability waves when not observed does not at all disprove materialism, since that is just an interpretation not a description of what actually happens. Quantum mechanics in no way says that the mind exists...
