God Does Not Exist.

[SparklyKid]

Anyone got tangible proof to the contrary ?

[Mozz71]

I am very disappointed to find out that what I hoped a tree lobster was, wasn't true.

[jno]

you could point to a tree in the restaurant and say "I'll have that one"

[Mozz71]

I guess they're an exact opposite of sea monkeys.

I remember sea monkeys from comic books. They looked so cute, especially with lippy on

I’m eagerly waiting Theland to post a YouTube link that (he thinks) proves her existence.

[Mamyalynne]

Now now DD, don't be idle - go and find one yourself :-)

obviously He/She /They Do
but how you perceive them may differ


Am I Right ?
I'm Not Wrong !

[Theland]

There is a lot of proof for the existence of God.
A good starting point is to consider what caused the universe to exist?
That to me is God.

[NickorWan]

We don't know what caused the universe to exist, so why not assume it was a god. Throughout history humans have allocated a god to the things they didn't understand.

[Theland]

Whatever caused the universe to exist must have been mighty powerful.
Intelligent, immaterial, having within itself its own cause and reason to exist.

[NickorWan]

Yes, to us now it seems that way, much the same as thunder etc. seemed mighty powerful to humans once. At some stage in the future, humans will understand what started the universe and won't need to believe a god started it. Though, that god, like others now, may well appear in crosswords if they are still going then.

[Mozz71]

Basically, your "proof" is to pick something you don't understand and claim it must mean God exists.

I don't understand the appeal of soap operas. Must be God's will.

[Theland]

Consider the problem.
Define, ''Nothing.''
From your definition came the universe.
How?

[NickorWan]

We don't know, Theland, and if you need to allocate a god to it, by all means do so. As I said, humans have done that for things they don't understand throughout history. Fewer do it now as I suspect they know that things that once seemed inexplicable to humans, and were allocated a god, were later explained.

"Unicorns do not exist"

You cannot say that with any certainty - new species are discovered all the time.

In the same way that no-one can say with any certainty that Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world over 100 metres - there may be any number of faster men anywhere in the world, but they don't compete publicly.

Even Richard Dawkins (I think) said that he could not be 100% sure that God does not exist, but he is as sure as he is that Santa Claus doesn't exist, and the tooth fairy doesn't exist, and leprechauns don't exist, and...

Theland - // Whatever caused the universe to exist must have been mighty powerful.

No-one can say that the universe 'came into being' - it may have always been here.

As for 'intelligence' - you are fond of adding that in because you believe it strengthens your argument about God.

Without proof of the involvement of intelligence, simply wanting it to be so doesn't cut it.

It's your belief, but it is no more or less valid than the beliefs that stars are gods, or trees, or anything.

It's just perception that differs.

[Theland]

Nicorwan - Yes the unknown later explained.
But it is accepted now that the universe had a beginning.
It came from nothing.
The answer to wat created it can't come from the thing created, can it?

[Denton]

If God is so great,why doesn't he get rid of this virus,which is killing thousands of people?

[Denton]

Well,there is the proof He doesn't exist or he would have eradicated this virus which is killing thousands.

[JimF]

^^ Surely the question is why he created the virus in the first place, because god creates everything, right?
