Why wouldn't there be a God? Science can't improve on many of the wonderful shapes and colours of nature. If you say the world happened by chance, you are saying that chance is cleverer than science, since natural thing so exceed those of science...

Please. You can make the "design" argument about anything. Look at how useful eyes are! But if we didn't have eyes, you could say, look at how useful these empty sockets in our face are! We can use them like pockets! Clearly, there is a God.

Also, if you know anything about evolution, you know the argument is no that things happened by 'chance." Natural selection show how mutations naturally happen over the course of a creature's existence (which can be observed.) When a useful mutation occurred, then the creatures with that mutation didn't die and passed said mutation onto their ancestors. That's not chance.

AND even if there was a single being who created everything…

A) What created this being? Wouldn't a creature that was powerful enough to create anything need something to create it? And what created the carter of the creator? That argument is paradoxical and flimsy.

B) What would imply that said creator would be exactly like this one thing that you read about in a book. If a 'creator' did exist, do you honestly think it would be exactly as humanity imagined it?

An all powerful and omnipitant being obviously wouldn't need a creator. God always has been and always will be. You just don't understand it because you are a simple human being. we are nothing to God, so of course we can't ever understand God fully.

How can such intelligent life have come about without an even MORE intelligent creator?

How did the intelligent creator come about?

Side: Atheism

Both entities have their pros and cons. The debate will continue on which platform is best. It is up to the individual to choose what makes him the happiest inside.

Side: Theism

1. Every design has a designer.

2. Earth has a highly complex design.

3. Therefor the universe has a creator and that creator is God.

I believe in Christianity because it is comforting there may not be evidence on video of the universe being made but if every design has a design then the universe has a design. Who is with me?

Side: Theism

And if you wonder what created God my answer will be nothing. God is and always will be. If you're wondering if I believe in the Big Bang the answer is yes. I believe God said "Bang" it was big.

Side: Theism

Take a look at this video. Isn't it amazing? This definitely isn't a coincidence.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is God.

That is what "God" with a capital "G" means.

The ones who do know that this is what they are talking about tend to avoid it because even they know it looks stupid to argue, "It is the truth that there is no truth, and it is reality that there is no reality! Prove to me that there is such a thing as proof! Hah! You have shown me no proof, there is no evidence!"

If they don't believe in God, they don't believe in truth, so they aren't being honest when they ask for evidence.

No, good atheist arguments are always against little "g" gods, not The Big G.

It doesn't matter whether or not you believe in The Supreme and Ultimate Reality, it clearly exists, and no amount of cleverness or mental gymnastics is going to get around this.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality by necessity must exist. It is intrinsic to what that means.

Why do people have a problem with God? Because they believe that the things people tell them about God are God. They are superstitious. They are the people who automatically assume that a UFO is a spaceship piloted by little grey man like creatures. It's called an unidentified flying object because it is in the air and we don't know what it is. So with that understanding, what does "The Supreme and Ultimate Reality" mean? What does God mean?

This is really something everyone should have common ground on. The existence of God should not even be up for debate. Atheism is not a defensible position. It's practically an academic joke to make know it students expose themselves as being fools. It works really well, because know it all students tend to be that way because they think so highly of themselves. It is easy to get them to think they "know better" than to fall for that God scam.

Seriously, take every atheist argument against God, and I don't mean scripture or any of that.. I mean arguments directed at God. Now replace the word "God" with "The Supreme and Ultimate Reality" and see how stupid the argument sounds.

Yes, atheism is stupid. It is stupid because God obviously exists, that is damn near the defining characteristic of God. EXISTENCE.

That doesn't make atheists stupid, that makes them ignorant. If they knew any better, they wouldn't be atheists.

Real deal atheists? The ones shouting from the rooftop "There is no truth! There is no reality! I'm a little tea pot short and stout!" will die in their sins, because to deny truth is an unforgivable blasphemy. Let them live out the rest of their lives in the hell they have created for themselves. They deserve it.

"No evidence v loads of evidence"? How can there be evidence that something DIDN'T happen? There can be evidence that something DID happen, or there can be NO evidence that something happened. But there can't be evidence AGAINST something...

Side: Theism

Indeed, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
