I'm sorry, but this is one of the funniest phrases I've ever heard. Nice try though, I guess. I can see why you could think something like that; God supplying us with whatever knowledge or something. Still, that's almost as bad as making an excuse for anything else. You got an F on your test because you didn't study? Too bad, God should've made you study then. The world doesn't work that way. Or, at least, you wouldn't find work that way, lmao.

Re: Atheism/Theism thread
No insult intended at all. It was my response to you saying, "I think science is beautiful, and so much can be done in science." I agree science IS beautiful, but so much MORE can be done in the name of God for God is far more beautiful.

Re: Atheism/Theism thread
The message in the Bible was created for humans, not piranhas as is so described in your posted video. Piranhas are not the dominant species on earth, humans are.
"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." That's Genesis One, Verse 28. |

Explain to me exactly what he says that you find to be bogus because he actually demonstrates the existence of a higher power through logic and reason also qouting reputable scientists and professors who base their information off of research and specialization. |

Re: Atheism/Theism thread
I love this defensive style of writing I always see in this kind of thread. Never fails to make me smile.
It isn't really a critical thinking topic. It's either worth moving or locking. |

God itself is not supposed to be known. That's what you guys always said, that the only way to find god is through faith. To make someone go lengths and try to prove logically that god exists (don't you find this ironic already?) it means you're really desperate. Not you as a person, but religious people in general, cause everyone who has a functioning brain can understand how absurd it is. Even people like cavernio, who developed an emotional attachment to religion early in their life, were able to brush it off with some thinking. This means, not only you are presumptuous, self entitled and very dense, can't tell if purposely ignoring on the most vital parts of the concepts that have been told you or just not able to understand them, but you also lack the capacity to think for yourself, as there is "god" --> actually organized religion, who already gave you all the answers and guidelines to whatever happens in your life. I could go through this thread and pick all the instances where you've shown your severe inability of making even the simplest reasoning and your never ending smug about being eternally right, but it's not worth it. just reply to the following, if you can: Quote:

and lol i swear you guys make up the userbase of r/atheism because this whole "lmao fundies dont have a functioning brain" doesnt really help your own case. btw there's millions of people in this world with higher intelligence than a majority of the FFR userbase that still believe in God so it's just something you guys are just going to have to deal with it

Furthermore, i never said that religious people are automatically stupid. It's the faith that is something ridiculous, and it obviously implies some limitations and patterns on the people which adhere to it. Believing in deities is something laughable by all means. That doesn't make them stupid as a whole, though.

Re: Atheism/Theism thread
The inherent belief of some higher form of existence doesn't make you stupid, but basing your life on it even though it is in the realm of untestibility does make you stupid.

Re: Atheism/Theism thread
I'm pretty sure that deities in general can not be proven by definition, otherwise they wouldn't be deities - thus, making them only accessible through (blind) faith. This makes their existence unprovable, but their non-existence too. It simply depends on what a person believes is the case, and no more. Science, no matter how advanced, can disprove the possibility of a God's existence, simply because God could've made science in such a manner that it would seem as though He can't exist.
There are many famous scientists who were born atheist, and went through life atheist; but as they continued in their work and research they became so astounded by the marvel of the universe and its beauty that they could not but believe there must have been a blueprint of it; a thought or idea by some higher power. Which may be naive (I kind of find it so), but I can understand why it happens. Plus, being religious does seem to help a lot of people, who would just have given up on life otherwise. It still does more bad than good, although, I don't understand why multiple religions can't be able to live next to eachother in peace. I think that's the main thing that needs to be addressed, rather than things like conversion and the extermination of religion. By the way, just stressing, I don't personally believe in any deity, nor do I specifically reject anything; all I'm saying is that it is (or at least, should be) understandable why many people do believe. Side note: Mollocephalus' second-to-last post in this thread can be summarized as "you're stupid and wrong, and I'm right". Very low quality of posting you've got there, buddy. I'd kindly suggest you to improve it or stay away from the thread.

a small but frequent example from my personal life is like when i'm about to take a big test for a class. usually i say a silent prayer when im testing for help to remember what i studied and to not be nervous and make stupid mistakes. if i didnt do my part and study, i cant really expect God to help me as much because im basically asking for a free ride

You can assume that there is a God. You can also assume that if you perform a scientific experiment twice with the exact same conditions, you will get the same result. Just because gravity has been working the way we predict it to thus far, doesn't mean we can't just magically begin to float any second - there is no absolute proof that it won't. It's all theory: we assume that nothing "supernatural" is going to happen, when we do science. I agree that the assumption that nothing supernatural will happen makes a lot more sense, than assuming there's a deity, though!
