Title: At least have an open mind about the possibility of there being a god
Post by: Marty Champions on April 19, 2013, 03:22:10 PM
if you dont even have the open mind to say "maybe" atleast god might exist

then your ability to do anything correct in this world is highly suspect

i can 'get' an atheist way of thinking but you have to be full blow retard to deny that "maybe" god exists

Will you say "maybe" there isn't a god?

of course

but im challenging the logical defiance of your typical atheist

do you think an athiest will give an openminded answer such as mine?

i bet 9 out of 10 wouldnt because of some sort of attitude problem they developed as a child

This is not an open minded statement and is very judgmental.  You're attempting to dismiss the opposition, not by a logical counter argument, but by personal insult.  Not good, falcon.

So, you believe that from the narrow subset of people you've had contact with, you can accurately draw a conclusion so broad?

the different levels of order from the macro to the micro

this would be a pro argument

but it can be twisted the other way for ex

"nothing really exists, things pop in and out of existance in retrospect in the quantam feild"

You're going to have to expand and be more specific on these concepts.  First, define your terms.  Secondly, frame your ideas into a coherent structured argument.

the order of the planets

are they in orderly fashion? an argument for god

they are disorderly /chaotic? an argument for no god

You can have order in the universe without the necessity of a god.  Why do you think you can't?   And what do you mean by order?

So you are saying the prerequisite for order is God and for disorder is no God? Surely you must have come across Chaos theory before? I don't understand why the mind links a creator to order, but not disorder, when really they are inseparable.

order=instructions,collaboration,rule ect

someone has to give instructions

or does it have to be someone

or is that just the way it is?

You believe this for what reason?  You're argument is poor because it presupposed certain facts to be true.  Unfortunately you have not proven them to be true at all.

The mathematics show that disorder in itself creates apparent order.

ok if you disagree then a opposite theory is needed

the answer is obvious from russelian science

that states all things (atoms and elements) eminate from the electric universe starting with light photon, then increase in energy giving you from the lightest to heaviest element on the periodic table

Some guy works in his fathers shop as a carpenter. During his time off he begins preaching to the locals in town. Next thing you know he has trillions upon trillions of followers. An uncountable number of books made about him. Hundreds of thousands of churches open in his name around the world. Thousands of years later hes still the most popular and worshiped man in the world. 90% of the world population believes in a higher power....That's one hell of a fairy tale.

Believing in GOD is having a closed mind.  It means you have made up your mind on the topic and are no longer OPEN to other possibilities.  That's why it's called belief, the Jury has delivered it's verdict and the case closed.

there are no real athiests in the world, just some people too arogrant to submit to God.

That's silly.

When someone says "Fuck You", they don't mean they actually want to fuck you.

It's a saying... We are raised around phrases... He is simply saying one he has heard a million times over and people understand.

I actually use the phrase "Thank goodness" in those instances, but that's because I'm very particular about making sure people understand that I do not thank any God for anything.

That said, if God proved his existence to me, I'd be fine with it.

As annoying as you are, I agree with you on this.

Religious people always tell atheists to have an open mind, yet they are 100% certain a god exists, they are 100% certain that only their god exists, and they are not willing to hear anything else. How is this open minded?  :-X :-X

You are a strange one, lots of people say Thank God, it has ZERO reflection on their religous affiliation. It is a commonly used expression or phrase, no different than when I curse in traffic at another driver calling him a 'mother fucker', I don't literally believe he fucks his mother.(unless of course the other driver is you, then I actually believe that you fuck your mother)  If that's all it takes for you to think others believe in GOD, well God help you.  :o

What are "know staticians" or did you mean "now statisticians" and according to world renowned Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking the evidence points towards there being NO GOD.  

I am not sure what scientists you are talking about, but multiple surveys have shown that between 60% and 70 % of US scientists expressed disbelief or doubt in the existence of God, 

Hawking said the following.

Title: Re: At least have an open mind about the possibility of there being a god
Post by: cephissus on April 20, 2013, 04:32:30 AM

Hawking said "When people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the big bang, so there is no time for god to make the universe in. It’s like asking directions to the edge of the earth; The Earth is a sphere; it doesn’t have an edge; so looking for it is a futile exercise. We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god. No one created our universe,and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization; There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that I am extremely grateful.”
