Does God Exist?

[Oleh]

I believe the big bang theory and all that, but god is just a made up figure to keep people believing in something and jesus is a hidden affair gone to far

I'm saying the bible is basically a bull **** story, its like believing voldermort will be shooting spells at you one morning.

Yeah they are both just like each other:rolleyes:. Have you actually read a good chunk of the Bible?

[Accipiter]

I'd rather hit myself to the ground with a good chunk of the bible.

Its ******** face it, Gordon browns probaly adding something about "Second homes are a sin" right now.

Ok well debate is over for me, its just my word against yours

Ask God to reveal himself to you and he will do so

Peace out.

Religion just doesn't make sense. Whoever made it up was very ignorant. It's all very observational, with little research.

One thing that is really highlighted here is the amount of things that people believe that we as Christian believe and say about God which is actually not true, and is actually what people have come to a conclusion about because they are not able to put God in a box and say "God is this..." (just for the record i have been a Christian for like 2 years and no Christian in the world is able to put God into a human perspective because God is beyond our thinking.)
I would like to explain more but i feel it will turn into an argument not a debate.

I think your in the wrong religion then, as Christan, or at least the bible which is the single source for all Christian knowable, does make the claim god is very much within the scope of human understanding. It even claims he looks like us (we're made in his image after all)

God as a concept is quite easily dependable via the means you suggest, the Christian conception though is not as it makes, a great number of specific claims about god and his nature, most of which can be tested and disproved readily. The problem of evil, or the contradiction of omnipotence are easy examples of this.

I asked and he didn't. Should i take that as conclusive indubitable proof of gods existence? As if so, this debate really is over
Although if he is answering, hearing voices is generally a good reason to take to a psychiatrist, despite what the bible (or G.W.Bush) may tell you, it really isn't healthy o.0

i will never belive in god. tbh
to me it sounds like some blokes wrote a book about his opinions on life in a weird way and named it the bible. but thats my opinion.

Surely a big bang can't have created all this that is around now and given humans knowledge.

There must be something much more advanced.

Two big problems with that.

1) How on earth did you get to that conclusion? its totally baseless and you haven't backed it up in the slightest. Also, humans gain knowledge via learning, what i suspect you meant to say was how we gained are sapience wich can be explained easily within the scope of evolution.

2) Even if we ignore the above problem, a more advanced thing simultaneously doesn't solve the problem, just raises the question of where the more advanced thing came from, and equally is less likely as your asking for something even more complicated to arise simply by chance??
Occam's razor definitely sides with big bang on this front :p
