The Cousin Of Sleep Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Exactly.Science does not claim to know everything but attempts to find out, where as religion does the exact opposite.The theory of the big bang is no more ridiculous than saying "God was always there, he's god" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How?Read what I said about the teapot.It is an oxymoron to ask for something to be disproved when there is no evidence pointing to the fact that it exists in the first place.The burden of proof lies with you, not me.

Train Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.

Jubez Fresco Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 You religious people piss me off. If your gonna go out on a limb and claim theres a 'god' the burden of proof is on YOU. You prove to others theres a 'god', then we may entertain your irrational idiology, until then, your chatting sh*t.I can feel the hate in your words, if you don't like it ignore it.I dunno why aetheists go on like they're the smartest people in the world.

That is answered above.Science does not claim to know everything, it is the PURSUIT of knowledge through reasonable deduction & logic.Also, you must not have read my first few posts, I said noone knows the answer for sure.But that does not mean by default that we turn to religion because of lack of an answer, I doubt there is anyone intelligent enough to accurately say what happened - yet.But with advances in odern science, maybe one day there will be a complete answer.

Look, I could say the SAME thing.

Thats the whole reason why I dont usually get into these arguements. Becasue REALLY, we all know little to none, apart from what we choose to believe. So just leave it at that lol. But if youd notice, its always religious people who START these arguements, not 'us'. And, like you, im talking from experiance aswell.

So I dont see how you can do both.It may be different with you, but most people have religion taught to them how we are taught to speak, and it is never really their choice wheather to beleive or not.By the time they get to the age where they can choose, it has been drilled into them so much that they couldnt imagine anything different.I thikn it is best to let people discover on their own.If everything about religion is true, then A bond between someone & God is spiritual, and cannot/should not be taught/pressured, but will be felt when the time is right.

clark_kent Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 both religious and atheist have uppity members who think they kno best.. i stand in the middle really genesis was not witness by any human, even someone thats done the smallest amount of research will kno god is believed to hav given the scriptures downthat being said. y issit god used to speak to people? like the clouds wud open or a bush wud set on fire and he wud jus start speaking......that wud make choosing a faith much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cousin Of Sleep Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 People here will not be able to answer Why God this, or Why God that, simply because they cannot.People often make the mistake of expecting an answer from the "minions" so to speak.Those who follow do not have the answers, those who lead do.In this case "Those who lead" would be God.So, no answers for you.
