The matter in the universe was never created; it always existed.

prove it

That your opinion, but it very common for people to believe in a 6000 year creation, actually more common then the big bang

[m8]

I am an Atheist and I don't hate religious people , many family members are , but facts are facts

There are many reasons to, though...

[timfogarty]

her personally religious beliefs should not matter as long as she can seperate church and state. The question that you are asking is, can she.

Belief in the first few chapters of the book of Genesis does not concern me nearly as much as belief in the book of Revelations.  

from http://www.newsweek.com/id/160080/page/1

Palin very likely believes that Biblical prophecy is an infallible guide to future events and that we are living in the "end times." Which is to say she very likely thinks that human history will soon unravel in a foreordained cataclysm of war and bad weather. Undoubtedly Palin believes that this will be a good thing—as all true Christians will be lifted bodily into the sky to make merry with Jesus, while all nonbelievers, Jews, Methodists and other rabble will be punished for eternity in a lake of fire.
...
Palin has spent her entire adult life immersed in this apocalyptic hysteria. Ask yourself: Is it a good idea to place the most powerful military on earth at her disposal? Do we actually want our leaders thinking about the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy when it comes time to say to the Iranians, or to the North Koreans, or to the Pakistanis, or to the Russians or to the Chinese: "All options remain on the table"?

prove it 

Prove that it didn't   prove the creator created it , yet no one created the creator lol

[boonstack]

exactly.

prove God exists
prove he doesnt

end of debate.

im not claiming either or side, but as Richard Dawkins says he cannot be 100% sure there is no base for religion, i cant say im sure of it either.

I don't live in fear of Heaven or Hell , I'll be an atheist when I die

[James Phoenix]

prove it 

The proof is simple.

I'm paraphrasing Bertrand Russell here,

"to deny the fact that matter always existed is to deny reality itself."

In other words, something can't be created from nothing.

[boonstack]

so james, basically, what u are saying is your taking something somebody else said that "sounds good" and applying it to the scenario here on getbig. 

oh.. it must be true if someone said it 

[240 is Back]

She has stated this, yes.

Maybe she's just lying to appease to the religious voting base who believes the bible word for word.

Maybe she has zero grasp of science.

Either way, she scares me.

From what I have seen from the pics, Boonstack is still a young guy. I remember being on a jobsite, working construction, after the Twin Towers fell, about his age, buying into all the bullshit about how the "world is coming into an end"

But then I got older, quit being so closet minded, read other peoples works, paid attention to what was going on around the world. Basically just pulled the head out of my ass...

Then you read stories about over in Africa, renegades raiding a small village, tying the husband of the house up, raping his wife in front of him, throwing his 2 or 3 babies in the fire, then shooting him in the head... it really makes you question the whole ideal of a "loving God"...

No, moron.

It applies directly to what the coach said.

Your reading comprehension really sucks.

This contradicts the big bang theory because it clearly states that the state of nothingness exploded, forming the univers.

[James Phoenix]

No, it doesn't contradict the big bang theory at all.

The universe goes through an eternal cycle of "big bangs" and then reversions to singularities.

Nothing was created, because it always existed.

You have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

I have a feeling Coach believes everything the bible says word for word....  Only explanation for him ignoring facts all the time

Where does it say that? Christian litterture?

[James Phoenix]

lol.

This state of "nothingness" as he calls it, was actually all the matter in the universe compressed into infinite density and zero volume.

In some form or another, whether it be a singularity, or an expanded form, matter always existed.

poly,

It was not my intention to seem 'biased' in my comment. Im not saying one way or the other, i have taken a few metaphysics classes and havent necessarily isolated my study to one specific area, i am the most open minded person I know. Philosophy has came a long way from Plato. Its just that here "born in America" we are taught baptist, catholic, protestant, etc etc. You know the typical American "Bible in one hand, gun in the other" approach to religion. Little kids in the middle east being taught to KILL what people dont agree with there interpretation of religion is wrong, but they are taught that stuff just as kids here are taught about Noah's ark and Moses.

With religion the world is chaos (look at middle east)
without it, and the basic "commandment" morals, it would be chaos.

[dr.chimps]

This coming from someone who thinks the Universe was made from a "Big Bang"

LOL. Another drive-by post by Coach. As per usual, he won't return to the thread.

Morals predate religion

that's one theory.  another is that the universe expands forever until the average density is zero, then somewhere in this nothingness, another rapid inflation causes another big bang.

I just don't understand how that is possible...

But looking back into my youth I can cleary remember older people in my churches saying "The Bible is 100% truth, infallible and the World of God"

That includes Jonah living in a whale/big fishes stomach for 3 days, Samson killing 1,000 men (no more, no less mind you!) and of course Bill Maher's favorite... Noah getting EVERY species of the animal kingdom on an ark for 40 days...

Millions of people vote Republican for this very reason.

[boonstack]

look at O'Reilly, what a old, boring OAF. I wish Dawkins wasnt so calm and nice, he should annihilate o'reilly
