The Existence of God

[DropKick Murphys]

wowhamba, Religion is one of the most powerfull things on this planet. It can start wars and arguments very quikly.

This is the debate forum. Here we debate things that we are interested in.

 

[Friddy]

No, I don't. I also feel that that's a rather ridiculous question to ask. An invisible man in the sky, who thinks, and watches what we do? What a preposterous notion! I mean, is there any empirical evidence to support this view? I think not!

 

[Shredderbeam]

God is real he created us... we did not evolve from monkies.

Why do you say that?

That sounds a bit like copypasta.

Do you have any evidence that God created us?

1do you have evidence on how we evolved?

 

[Shredderbeam]

1do you have evidence on how we evolved?

Plenty:

- Fossil record (and its geographical distribution).
- Genetic similarities between all species.
- Anatomical similarities.

You also evaded the original question: Do you have any evidence that a God created us?

 

[Swan]

1do you have evidence on how we evolved?

Of course we do. You see, unlike "God", the theory of evolution is actually a credible theory. Theories require coherent information and facts to be classed as theory. Your God has none of these, it is a concept and nothing more.

A basic overview of the theory of evolution can simply be found on Wikipedia. Though not accurate, your ignorance proves you should probably read on it before making any more posts in this thread. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution

 

[Personal Jesus]

1do you have evidence on how we evolved?

Tons. There's a massive fossil record (http://www.talkorigins.org/), scientists can observe natural selection occur in drug-resistant bacteria (rapid macro evolution), and there's the close genetic and morphological homologies between humans and chimpanzees which establishes them as our closest extant relatives (that are still alive).

Your being arrogant, much like all the other religious people who posted.. If your not here to debate the subject, and listen to the other side of the argument, then leave.

no he is not being arrogant. and the reason most religious people add that in is because a lot of people who reply to this try to change our beliefs and do not respect that we are entitled to choose what we believe. so for you to say that we religious people are arrogant is ignorant and hypocritical and you should consider revising on how to respect what people believe. And i believe you are a faggot.

 

[wowhamba]

no he is not being arrogant.

Oh yes he is.

and the reason most religious people add that in is because a lot of people who reply to this try to change our beliefs and do not respect that we are entitled to choose what we believe.

No they add that in because they are arrogant. This is a debating forum, we can try to change your beliefs if we want to. We respect that you are entitled to chose what to believe, but we just do not respect what you believe in.

so for you to say that we religious people are arrogant is ignorant and hypocritical and you should consider revising on how to respect what people believe.

Not really. Christians and most of other religion followers are arrogant, if they weren't they wouldn't be following that particular religion.

And i believe you are a faggot.

Orly?
Reported.

But it is a fallacy, and I have freedom of speech. And don't worry, wars and arguments would start even if atheists/agnostics didn't exist. (They would just kill each other off)

Now that you know what arrogant means, let me correct you on the many follies in your post.

the reason most religious people add that in is because a lot of people who reply to this try to change our beliefs and do not respect that we are entitled to choose what we believe.

You are indeed entitled to choose what you believe, but I, and everyone else here are entitled to try to change your belief, much like that of your Christian missionaries. Ignoring a persons attempt to convince you that you are wrong is ARROGANT, and foolhardy.

for you to say that we religious people are arrogant is ignorant and hypocritical and you should consider revising on how to respect what people believe.

I said the people who posted, not religious people in general. Those who posted all evaded questioning, and left us with something along the lines of "Just because". YOU are ignorant, for the fact that you were oblivious to what I posted, and instead your mind showed you what you wanted to see. Also, for the record, calling all religious people arrogant would not make me a hypocrite, because I actually take into consideration what the opposing side had to offer, instead of ignoring them. Learn to use your 4-syllable words correctly, cretin. Furthermore, I will not respect your beliefs because religion is irrational, and I refuse to become part of this infectious retardation of the mind.

Your being arrogant, much like all the other religious people who posted.

And i believe you are a faggot.

And I believe you are an imbecile. Enjoy your infraction.

It is incredibly disrespectful and inconsiderate to try to change one's beliefs. In addition, calling someone an "imbecile" is the same as insulting someone. Enjoy your infraction. <3 you sweetums.

Do you believe in god, written on a bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger.

First of all, your in a debate forum. If you did not want to be opposed, you should have stayed the fuck out. I called you an imbecile because you are one, and it was also a retaliation to you calling me a 'faggot' of which you have no means to say.

So I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but on this site, flaming in retaliation does not receive an infraction.

This is the debate forum. We're going to try to change your beliefs, and you can do the same.

 

[Personal Jesus]

It is incredibly disrespectful and inconsiderate to try to change one's beliefs.

No, it isn't. If you believe in something which has been proven wrong, people can try and change your belief. If you're just going to close your eyes and cover your ears going "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAAAAAR YOUUUU", then you're arrogant.

In addition, calling someone an "imbecile" is the same as insulting someone. Enjoy your infraction. <3 you sweetums.

Pardon me, but didn't you call him a faggot at first? This is hypocrisy at its finest.

 

[C R U N K]

not really i dont i god can see what we do can he see us beating off?

Might wanna brush up on your english grammar. Secondly, why don't you believe in God? I'm not gonna post my beliefs yet as im not entirely sure how to express them.

You have no idea how much I just laughed at you just now ... Well, it's the middle of the night so it was a sort of uncontrollable fit of contained giggles. Anyhow, listen up or get out of this forum, hypocrite.

In a debate, the entire point is to change someone's mind or belief. If you can't respect that this is actually what debating is for, then how about you just leave?

Why does he need a reason to not believe? Atheism can be thought of as the starting point, or null hypothesis (i think thats what its called...) and there needs to be evidence or at least logic to make us move on to thinking a god exists.
