Why... Why would the universe break the second law of Thermodynamics and strive to be *more* complex? The answer: Something is guiding all matter in the universe toward a specific goal.
Randomness itself is a illusion. The universe could not have been created by chance. I understand that...
Evolution. Maybe. But from what? I don't think dogs are evolving into cancer, that doesn't seem to be how the evolution theory works. Most things, when one is talking about evolution increase in size and complexity in order to survive.
Also, cancer is a mutated cell. Any cancer cells can...
You people amuse me. The chances are not a million in one that mankind will evolve from nothing the chances are "0". I know you wont beleive this but I don't really care. If one were to create a program on a computer and tell it to pick out a random number from 1 to say 100. There is NO chance...
To me. Homosexuality isn't right just because it is two people that are giving consent that can normally morally have sex with the opposite genders. It is wrong because of the act of having sex to please only the people involved without any thought about what the sex is actual suppose to do...
Why can't a child give consent? That is the biggest nonsense I have heard yet. What? Do you think we magically get brains at 18 years of age? I guess the same person that says a child can't give consent also would think that when a sperm and egg meet that isn't a human being... :slap:
Anyway...
I have learned the following from you Atheists this far:
1.) Anything can become moral over time.
2.) You don't deny that you can be wrong but still lack any sort of grounding in a written proclamation of beleifs or have any kind of foundation on something that *is* infallible.
3.) Does admit...
I couldn't read it all. He was very biased. He wasn't looking for reasons *to* beleive in a god, he was only looking for reasons not to. He also wrote too much, sorry, but I like things that are to the point and definite.
I felt bad, went back, and read most of the responses. What I said still basically covers it. I would also like to add that Elvendon beleives almost all the same things I do... It's creepy... It's like... We believe in the same god or something! :eek: I'm not trying to be a smart alick, it's...
I lost quite a bit of what I wrote with a computer malfunction so I am going to paraphrase.
:sorry1: I was laughing so hard I couldn't read all of your replies. It's this kind of talking that gets no where. It's not ignorant and I don't think the ideas are bad. They just don't go anywhere...
I try to keep my responses short, but this thread just wont seem to allow it. :p
If one beleived the moon was made out of green cheese wouldn't that effect still persuade people to act differently? If people beleived unicorns existed, would we not act differently in that matter? Ergo, we...
This is, so far, has been very educational for me and, ultimately, amusing.
I have learned that many Atheist beleive in "good", in whats is "right", in love, in family, and in a ethically strong government but refuse to acknowledge the existence of god. Thank you for your replies so far.
The...
So, that covers it. Atheists beleive in themselves and Theists beleive in something greater then themselves. I personally don't get any satisfaction in beleiving in myself. After all, we can only be as good as the people we follow. Anyone can try to deny that but you all learned and, in a way...
Yeesh. I hate it when people take what I say out of context. A Atheist might, and probably has, died for beleifs outside of Atheism but will not have any problem saying "God does exist" to save their own life. Hence, this is why I say christians have a much more firm basis for their faith...
Wow. I didn't realize so many people replied to this... My mind went numb after page 3 so the replies above don't really answer everything that everyone said. :thud: Sorry.
1.) I said I would rather have a Christian at my back *because* of their morals, not because that is what they say they are. A true christian is, to me, more trustworthy then a true atheist. It's funny, because atheist sometimes do christian things. I call them christian things because...
Don't worry about it. If you beleive in predestination a chosen few of us are going to hell anyway just to keep satan company. If you don't beleive in predestination then we are all going to hell. :beach:
Nah, seriously, god premoted war many times in the bible. I would think non violent...
Miracles don't exist. So there.
I have never seen a miracle or had one happen in any way. Either I am evil I am too holy and I don't need miracles to support my faith :angel2:, god hates me :sad:, or miracles simply don't exist :yes:.
I don't pray but, unlike YmirGF, I feel like I should. It seems reduntent to do repetitive prayers and he already knows everything I need. It just seems useless. Whenever I do try to pray I find myself cussing and I don't cuss in person. It seems like, if god is listening, he isn't very...
