Does God Exist?

[Loser]

There is nothing to prove the existence of "God" and there is also nothing to disprove the existance of "God".

There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.

Shameful.

Yet if they hadn't been there, there was no chance. It's like there being 5 red balls in a bag with 95 yellow ones. Unlikely you're going to pick a red one but it could happen, life is about chance.

Very nicely put!

Unfortunately I do not have time to watch the video but I'll respond anyway.

I believe in God, yes. We were made for a reason just like the theory of Paley's Watch.

The big bang cannot create a human being with all the specific features. Such as eyes for seeing, ears for hearing, nose for smelling.

I really urge you to read The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins, it really goes into detail about evolution and why this is possible, evolution is not a process of chance at all, we developed such features over time because they are beneficial to us.

How can everything be made to such perfection though, if you watched that video the information in it is far too complex to evolve over time.

But the human body is not perfect, at a long shot.
Why do you think that back pain is so common?
The human spine is not fully evolved yet, it's still pretty adapted to walking on all fours, evolution takes time after all.
The human eye and shark eye are extremely similar, so similar that you might as well just call them identical, yet shark eyes do not possess the dangerous blind spot area that the human eye possesses, we have many faults in our body.

It's really not too complex, as I said it's not a chance thing, it's a mutation thing. I do think that the human body is complex and beautiful but it does not mean that I have to believe that it was created by some imaginary supreme being.


Trust me, if I believed that there was any chance of an after life, I'd be kissing whichever supreme being I believed in's feet, but really - there's not a scrap of evidence for anything like so.

Ask yourself, why do you reject Allah, Zeus, Brahman etc, yet are SO sure on the existence of God?

Shameful.

What's shameful? I think Athiests are just as closed minded as people from any other religion. I was juat giving credit to the source of my quote.

Nobody can tell either way and it's extremely unlikely we will find out for sure in the future. Life is about chance as someone else has already pointed out. The probability just isn't in God's favour, but as the chance is still there you can not neglect it.

[Sophiee]

Oh... and you do know that there's also no evidence to disprove a microscopic teapot that orbits Mars too, right?


I'm with Dawkins, I really do suggest that the 'probably' be removed from the atheist bus too.

I was referring to the campaign. Any public campaign that attempts to influence your views on religion is shameful.

I actually kind of like the atheist bus campaign, what upsets me is that if it was displayed where I live, the windows would be smashed and I really wouldn't be surprised if the bus was destroyed.

I do kind of agree with you Ben, but the way I see is it that dogmatic religious advertisements will not be stopped, so I think it's perfectly okay that atheist advertisements combat them.

[Kardan]

In my opinion, God doesn't exist. At least science makes some sense; that things evolved from one another, but to say that there's a being that created everything and we don't know about? No, way too farfetched.

Ideally, none of it would exist. But, I won't be supporting one campaign while condemning many others that are doing the exact same thing.

And hey Soph!! How's it going?

[Sophiee]

Well yeah, ideally - but I just can't help but love this campaign, if only the agnosticism could be removed from it. (But then I guess we get back to the dogmatic issue...)

And I'm bueno, did you leave CHF or something?
I never see you around anymore.
