Does God Exist?

[run101]

icy.... what you just said is an incorrect way of thinking known as Argument Ad Ignorantium, in that you stated since there is no proof of God's existence he simply does not exist....
There is also no proof of God's nonexistence so he therefore must exist
see it's flawed and makes you sound ignorant

Yes God exist. If there wasn't God there wouldn't be us. (You)
God made the first people. Adam (I think i spell his name right) and Eve. And he made all living things. God also made light. If there wasn't light, how could we see? If God didn't exist nothing would be here. Cause living things make movies, video games, teen hut, and more non-living things. I hope this helps.

I believe that God could theoretically exist. However, there is no way for us to know for sure now, based on our technology and knowledge. The entire world as we know it can be explained almost completely; only two very puzzling things remain, being how chemical reactions in a collection of molecules can create thought, and how the universe began/was created. These could be answered by using God, but the answers could be without God. Basically, it makes more sense most of the time to use science, but it may not always be right.

Just because YOU believe he exists doesn't mean it's true. You could also believe in unicorns, but that doesn't mean they actually exist.

There is no proof that he doesn't exist either... So what is your point?

I think it is obvious that no one here can prove that does or doesn't exist, if you disagree I would love to hear your argument...

[run101]

exactly... that's what i was saying

Yeah honestly even though I'm not sure god exists I would prefer if he did. The thought of no god just leaves a big void with a big question mark in it.

[run101]

i know...it's pretty scary to think about isn't it

Above is the first sentence on the link to Wikipedia. Again... a theory cannot be fact, and therefore can't be evidence.

Second paragraph of the 'Big Bang Evidence' link... Again... a theory cannot be fact, and therefore can't be evidence.

Definition of:the·o·ry

A proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to experimentation, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.


Definition of: con·jec·ture
Guess; speculation.


You have given no evidence with these links. You have only established that your Big Bang is indeed nothing but a theory cooked up by people who have nothing better to do.

Okay... First off, you've got your terminology wrong, we're using the scientific definition of theory here hun. You can't just start going around with a dictionary going I DON'T THINK THAT MEANS WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS! unless you actually do your homework. The scientific definition of theory is: “a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment." This means that your whole argument is invalid. So please before you make a giant rant on the internet, please please please just do a little homework first.

I may just be late to the party, but I wanted to throw that out there that I support this opinion

You're so determined to disbelieve in the big bang that you're hopelessly arguing semantics and trying to find anything that could paint science in a negative light.

How about I show you the rest of the article?

In science, theories do not turn into facts through the accumulation of evidence. Rather, theories are the end points of science. They are understandings that develop from extensive observation, experimentation, and creative reflection. They incorporate a large body of scientific facts, laws, tested hypotheses, and logical inferences.

Judging by your disinclination to believe in scientific theories, you should probably avoid ever going to the hospital. Whenever you go into surgery or are diagnosed, it's based upon scientific theories.

Why do you keep saying a scientific theory isn't evidence or fact?
A scientific theory is MADE UP of evidence and facts; that's how scientists arrive at a theory.

You make it sound as though a scientific theory is something thought up by a bunch of intoxicated middle schoolers.
According to the AAAS, "A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment."

A scientific theory is something that has merit and authenticity.

Creationism is not a scientific theory.

I think this topic can be left up to personal interpretation, it can't be debated. The idea of faith in a bigger spirit is basically hope. You hope and trust that there is a god, but you can't prove it. No matter how hard you try it simply cannot be done. Proving there is no god is a lot easier. Everyone can believe what they want, but there is no proving it one way or another, that's just the way religion is.

Blind faith, this is what this is.

Did God create the universe as well and ever solar system, planet, star etc etc in it?

The Bible has been altered by the hand of man far too much for it to have happened as its told.

Does it really matter?

Individual passages, perhaps. However, the cardinal messages and principles of the Bible haven't been altered much from its original Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek form.

I always felt my belief in G-d was not dependent on believing that the bible was in the inerrant word of G-d

[dazed.confused]

I am absolutely dumbfounded about how arrogant and phenomenally narrow minded people can be on this site. Mother of god

I doubt that, as we are prone to massive exaggeration in our every day lives.

But are you calling the atheists narrow minded and arrogant or the religious folk? Because both sides can be both in the others eyes.
