Poor argument that can't even stand as evidence, much less proof. It only works if you believe in God in the first place. You haven't established that the World (by the way, the "word" world usually means planet, and our planet makes up WAAAAY less than 1% of the known universe, so you are pretty much short-changing God's proposed creation) is by necessity a product of intelligence or supernatural activity. Can you do that without falling into tautology?

They earth supports life right now. Life which is testable and apparent. God is neither of these things. We can tell you how life works, how it is chemistry made up entirely of substances found in other, non-living, aspects of our planet. We cannot even prove God's existence, much less how he functions and does things like creating life.

Like Gratedebator said my beliefs are in part due to life experiences that can't be explained but I am also open minded when it comes to things like religion and belief, I've always been interested in different cultures and their beliefs but I have yet to find a "traditional" religion that suits me (for want of a better phrase), they all have their good points and their bad points and obviously as I said in my original post we won't know which one is right until we reach the end of our journey.

Some people would think reading that paragraph that, that would make me an Agnostic of some kind but I do believe there is a higher power, I'm just undecided what this higher power may be.

I guess I'm just a student of life and I am a member of the Church Of The Latter Day Dude and an ordained Dudeist priest which is a pretty easy going religion and is far from traditional!!

TheAshman(2299) Disputed

I've had experiences in the past which just cannot be explained just weird shit happening which cannot be put down to any material cause, it's no proof of a God also it's no hard proof of any thing Supernatural but to me it point's in the direction of the possibility of there being something else other than us, also I like to think that there some kind of afterlife or something more than just this life, reincarnation, Heaven, Valhalla, I dont know what and like I keep saying I have no proof, no evidence it's just a belief of mine.

None of us have any proof that there is or isn't anything after we die or there is or isn't a God so saying for definite that there is or isn't or that one religion is right or wrong is erroneous as we wont know for sure until we die any way and then it's too late to say I told you so anyway!!

Not gonna bother answering that because I'm astonished someone claiming to know so much about a topic has no clue what the hell I'm talking about.

Don't play stupid, it makes debates way shitty.

And in case you are being serious, a creating force as in a conscious direction for things to evolve.

And I never said it wasn't possible, all I am saying is something, not physically, but some type of force or something that's unexplainable is telling the flowers to bloom a certain way, it directs them, guides them, just like everything on the planet, its all life force.

Side: yes, I believe in god

I would imagine that everything is evidence of agreater being. I would imagine personal testimonies to be subjective evidence for somebody. There are logical arguments for the existence of a higher power. Something unintelligent can't create something intelligent is one of the few arguments.

Even though I do believe in the existence of God. The Question weather I believe in God or not is rather irrelevant. If God exists, the real question should be "do you like God or not", "Do you believe Him to be a good God or Not" "Should I fear God or not". Otherwise the very idea of fearing, loving or living for someone or something that does not exist waists time of even debating. If you don't believe in God, this debate seems rather meaningless to have. More importantly, for those of the more factually minded, it should be common sense to realize that my profound belief in something does not constitute it's reality. Either i'm right in my belief (regardless of how/why I believe it) or i'm profoundly wrong. It takes more courage to consider fallacies in one's perceptions and beliefs than it does to turn a blind eye. If my belief cannot stand up to the truth, than I should not want to believe it. I would say the real question now is, what are the consequences of me being right or wrong in that belief?

You are the one asserting a claim which places the burden of proof upon you, not the other way around. Were you to present any actual evidence whatsoever (which you have not), then it would be the burden of negation to disprove or discredit that evidence. As the matter stands, the utter lack of evidence is more than adequate basis for disbelief.

I have no reason to believe in any gods.

Mono theism doesn't make much sense, one god making lots of people but only giving one group the truth of who the real god is while the others worship false gods, rather than many people made different gods.

It is just more reasonable that god/gods are man made rather than the other way around.

1. There was never a point of time where anything was created or destroyed. It merely changes form. Example: Energy

2. To understand God, you first have to understand yourself. Are you speaking as your personality or soul. These two differs completely. 99% or the time your ego, id and super ego governs your entire system of thinking. For example: The desire for truth, the desire to return to an original source (father figure, family), a sense of greater purpose, the desire to surrender you will to a higher power(how lost do you feel anyway?) and of course fear of death. These are desires that stem from your living conditions. It becomes irrelevant after death. See? External reality (the way things are) and internal reality (the way things you believe to be) becomes cloudy. You CREATE your reality.

3. Two of the above statements may be hard to explain to any human 2000 to 1500 years ago. (Civilisations before has a fairly respectable understanding of the term 'spirituality') Therefore, any sort of 'revelation' given by the smartest of angels fall into simplistic translations and quite often self serving and delusional.

4. You can start believing the planet is created by a god all you want but know that the development of life on earth as we know now it has been a rare occurrence indeed. The chances are one in a gazillion. There are specific conditions to be met and it took billions of years for us to get here not 7 days. The creation of life is a NATURAL phenomena. A RARE one.

'Wisdom is not the absence of ignorance but the understanding of it'

Wouldn't it be more along the lines of: ignorance is the absence of wisdom?

Usually, things that are perceived negatively are the absence of something. Darkness is the absence of light, hate is the absence of love, cold is the absence of heat, and so on. But even though we consider these things to be lacking in what we often think of as positive, it is clear that both need to exist in order for us to perceive them.

The nature of ignorance is that..you don't know you are wrong, therefore you need to find out. The Buddha was not a perfect human being, albeit his philosophy which still stands out today. He once starved himself to the brink of death believing that the act would help him gain some sort of spiritual transcendence. He was wrong. Therefore he taught the 'middle-way' or the path of moderation. Took him decades to realize this.

Glad you brought that up. Which means these 'messages' that prophets receive are simplified or dumb downed to a point where the simpletons of the past could understand. The word billion was non-existent since at that point it was an inconceivably huge number.

This also mean that your obnoxious religion was compatible with their barbaric and ignorant nature. One that we could all do away now. Also, according to genesis your god created the earth first and then the light. This could not happen since the sun is millions of years older than earth. Plus isn't it petty to create humans so that he can be worshiped by them. What sort of narcissistic dumbass would do such a thing.

I don't believe in a god in the conventional sense of the word, which is apparently a monopoly of monotheism. I don't believe in such a god because that god would have to actively intervene in our affairs according to what he stated, but he doesn't.

I do believe that there are logical complications caused by a cause-and-effect principle applied to the Big Bang (Apart from other principles which both prove and disprove the existence of a god outside space and time)

Now with the lack of any evidence, I cannot make any conclusive claims of this and maintain the position that if a causal factor exists outside of our Universe which is compatible with the Deistic god (and such a scenario is scientifically invalid but logically true) then Deism is true. But considering the scientific evidence, I am inclined towards believing that the Universe had no conceivable cause which we can test and comprehend, giving no premise for a deistic/theistic argument. Thus as nothing, absolutely nothing has existed before the Universe, there was no cause.

This is where this complexity lies, on one hand logic defies Science and asserts the cause-and-effect principle, on the other, the Scientific evidence is overwhelming and points towards the regular spontaneously-created (no creationist propaganda intended) Universe which is widely accepted by the scientific community. I hope that more evidence is available later on so that there is more certainty about the nature of this matter.
