Moontanman Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The reference isn't to god himself but to evil/satan. “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” Epicurus Oh good! that's what they want? I have some evidence like that(if you were there, which I wasn't, which is why I doubt you'll take this as a miracle)! Evidence There was someone who was getting a large needle for cancer. The doctor was unable to put the needle in. It was not going in. Later they realized that the cancer was gone. A miracle? Oh, and here is some more evidence that you can feel and touch(if you were there). Evidence Maybe you should watch all of them... A fake? njaohnt.... How insulting, the program actually admits they cannot prove anything at around 07:00, if you seriously cannot do any better than that then I don't see any reason to continue to even discuss this. i will point out that the bible is demonstrably wrong about so much it calls into question everything else to anyone who has any flicker of rational thought. just because some of the people and places in the bible can be verified does not prove anything. I could write a story about alien invasion of New York City and use the names of real people, real places and even real events but it wouldn't the make the alien invasion real. I mean seriously....

JustinW Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Ophiolite, Scourge stated that (s)he had evidence against atheism. (I presumed this to mean against the atheist position, since clearly atheism exists.) Therefore it was perfectly fair to ask be shown this evidence. It does not require a reciprocal action, since I made no statement about having evidence against theism.Ah, I concede to your fabulous point. You have my humblest of appologies. Moontanman, Hard stuff please... Aww, where's the fun in that? Atheist Church? Churches fried chicken? what are you talking about?You didn't know there were atheist churches? Once I saw that atheists were getting organized I wondered what their organizations were like. But since I don't go to religious churches I saw no reason to go to non religious ones either. I was just curious. Since there are so many atheists in the science community, I figured there might be some that attend these functions and could give some insight on the goings on behind closed doors. I'm just as afraid of non religious cults as I am religious ones. And I wouldn't take this part of my post to seriously. If only I could project facial expression and tone of voice with every sentence. I think people would get tired of Emoticons pretty quick if I did though. I try... You succeed sir. I was once told though that moderation is the key to success. I wonder if there is any truth to that? I guess it depends on what the topic is. Whether it's religion or atheism, I wonder how moderation would affect one's outlook on life. I believe that everyone would be agnostic then. What do you think? njaohnt, Me too. I think that he is talking about places just for atheists. http://firstchurchofatheism.com/ http://www.rationalresponders.com/church_of_atheism http://churchofatheism.webs.com/ Do you need more? And meant to include organizations as well, but the churches seemed so ironic that I couldn't help myself.

njaohnt Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 njaohnt, believe it or not cancers do disappear on their own and it happens completely at random and naturally. I'll watch your videos as soon as my computer stops stuttering... Yeah, but why did the needle not go in? I think God healed him. As Tim Minchin would say, you "significantly underestimate the total number of things". If something has a one in a million chance of occurring and it's given ten billion tries, it'd be a miracle if it DIDN'T happen! And for your enjoyment: What?

njaohnt Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Why does a miracle imply the existence of a Christian god, rather than merely implying that there are parts of reality we do not fully understand? God is not the only explanatory option; it could be any other force that we don't yet understand, including natural ones. "I don't know why that happened" doesn't mean "God must have done it." Not until we understand the universe well enough to eliminate every other possibility. Such as what? What would force would do such things? Let's say that He does exist, for sure, for now. How, are you going to go to heaven if you keep on saying that there could be some other force doing it. You're now going against what atheism is all about. Evidence. If there is evidence for a god, and you continue to say "Why does a miracle imply the existence of a Christian god" that is worse than saying "I think that the evidence of God is greater than the evidence of atheism". Do you see what you're saying here? Do all you people who pressed +1 realize this? njaohnt....

The reason why I think that God doesn't make tons of miracles like you say He should, is because then you would get people like Cap'n Refsmmat.

Do you see what you're saying here? Do all you people who pressed +1 realize this? I don't see your point. A miracle is, by definition, some event so spectacular that it can't be explained by any known cause. That leaves unknown or supernatural causes. So, by definition, I can't tell you what force would do such things. To claim that no natural force in existence could possibly cause such events to occur, however, is to claim that we fully understand the natural world and can describe the behavior of every natural system in existence. Not terribly long in the past, lightning had no known natural cause, and was attributed to a variety of deities. But it was not evidence for their existence. It was evidence for our ignorance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doG Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 You're now going against what atheism is all about. Evidence. Wow. You're really having a hard time grasping what the term atheist means huh? Atheism IS NOT about evidence, it's about the lack of evidence to support any conclusion that one or more deities exist. Theists conclude that there is in fact one or more deities based on faith alone. Atheists refuse to do the same because they are holding out for evidence, real verifiable, testable evidence.

njaohnt Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Here's the excuse for God not being "here" enough. Evidence: I believe that God does things for a better world. So, therefore: He gives us a the ability to do what ever we want (would you want to be a puppet)? Giving us this ability includes being evil, and not believing Him Thus some people will be a "skeptic"(the next evidence area will explain why I put skeptic in quotes) and not believe him, and others will not follow Him He doesn't want anyone to go to Hell (no impurities can be let in heaven, otherwise it would become like the earth with its evil people) The more a miracle happens, the less it seems like a miracle(consider 'Why does a miracle imply the existence of a Christian god, rather than merely implying that there are parts of reality we do not fully understand? God is not the only explanatory option; it could be any other force that we don't yet understand, including natural ones. "I don't know why that happened" doesn't mean "God must have done it." Not until we understand the universe well enough to eliminate every other possibility. ', imagine if things like these happened all the time! Everyone would think like this. If this happens to Christians only, then how come it doesn't it happens to Atheists(prove me wrong)? If you're seriously going to say that some force allows this to happen to Christians only, then wouldn't the theory that God did it have more evidence? Thus, less miracles, more Christians (though, God does have to keep the miracles going, or no one would believe that He is real). This explains why He doesn't do every miracle that would make the world better(except for the ones that would lead more people to Him). I think that this makes it so that no one can ever put evidence against God. The only reason why anyone wouldn't believe in Christ after reading this, is because they say it lacks evidence. Don't you agree? More Evidence: Are you a "skeptic"? If so are you a good skeptic, or a bad skeptic? I will show you the difference in a sort of a parable way. Let's say there is a miner. He used to mine in a old mine, but now that mine has closed. He goes to another mine for a job. "Okay," said his manager, "I always go to the mineral scientist to check if what I have is what I think it is, even if I'm sure I know what it is. I recommend that you do that, too, even though he charge 5% of its value." The miner never bothered to check his minerals because he thought that he was experienced enough to skip the step. One day he came across some spinel. As usual he went to the desk to pay for it, and he would go off to his shop to sell it. But the cashier said "Hey, why are trying to trick me? Don't you know that they have no tolerance for this? You're going to get fired!". The manager came and immediately fired him. The spinel was a ruby. (this is just considering that God is true, if you don't believe Him, allow and study over the spinel being a ruby, please) The miner is a bad skeptic, the first manager is a good skeptic, the 5% payment is the time and effort it takes to create a proper theory, the cashier is the angels of God, the second manager is God, the spinel that the miner had seen before was the correct theories of the Atheists, the ruby is Christianity, the thinking that the ruby was spinel is the the incorrect theories of the Atheists, and getting fired was going to Hell. Let's use a true story to prove that. I heard of a scientist who the found a new mineral. It looked a lot like a lot like another mineral. He was a good skeptic, and did tests to find out that it wasn't what he expected. I will explain why you Atheists are bad skeptics (or not even skeptics at all) shortly... Anyway, do you think that Charles Darwin went into making his theory saying "I don't know what happened earlier so I will find out."? No! He said "Christianity has insufficient evidence, I will figure out what happened". This is a predetermination. You cannot create a proper theory through predetermination. By doing this you base your theory on biases. To create a proper theory you need to let in all possibilities (being open-minded), and study them, which many Atheists have failed to do. I don't think that Charles Darwin tried to figure out how Christianity could/is true. I will explain why you Atheists are bad skeptics (or not even skeptics at all) shortly...

doG Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 What makes you so sure that the Bible is not true? There is no evidence suggesting it is false(except predeterminations) the only reason is that it lacks evidence, and when something lacks evidence, you go out and get evidence, to become a good skeptic. What reason is there to think it is true? It is a collection of books written by storytellers through the ages. All of the books are of the form, he said he said, i.e. hearsay. There is zero supporting evidence in favor of the bible's accuracy as any kind of historical record of events. No good skeptic would ever accept it as true without supporting evidence from those that assert it is true. It is not up to skeptics to disprove those that assert its truth, it is up to those that assert its truth to support their claim of truth. Until then their claims are just a bunch of hot air.

Robert Oppenheimer Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Why do people keep screaming "EVIDENCE", when no logical Christian ever claims there is in fact evidence to support Christianity other than some historical accuracies. Any logical Christian will tell you that they aren't Christians based on evidence but faith. The only evidence anyone is likely to stumble upon are some accuracies dealing with people, places, and events of the times. These are mixed in with the stories of the bible with other things that can never be proven. It is peoples faith that lead their religion, not any based evidence found through scrutiny of that faith. So I agree with the confusion of the rest of this thread. What is the point in asking for evidence? There are no logical Christians, as the most logical stance would be no stance at all. There is no logic in choosing to believe in a view of the universe that isn't based on any kind of evidence at all. Furthermore, while there aren't any evidence supporting Christianity, there sure are evidence against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moontanman Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Why do you keep on saying this, you say miracles aren't evidence? Why? If you had evidence of a miracle I'd consider it evidence but so far you do not. Countless miracles. Name a few, so far all you have are coincidences and horse feathers What makes you so sure that the Bible is not true? There is no evidence suggesting it is false(except predeterminations) the only reason is that it lacks evidence, and when something lacks evidence, you go out and get evidence, to become a good skeptic. Sitting around not looking for evidence is what a bad skeptic does, become a good skeptic! Let's see, just to name two Noah's Ark and the description of the earth and the sky? A lie? That's a predetermination! Predeterminations lead to false theories! No a lie is asserting something that is not true. You don't get it, do you. After you read the Bible, you don't understand. It's not the fact that you don't believe. It is because you have sinned. The only way for a sinner to get to heaven is to have God forgive your sins. How can He forgive you if you don't think He exists? No sin deserves eternal torture... I have showed that video. Watch more if you have to, but don't call them falsehoods, unless you actually go to Israel and show us!How did the Bible fail? Predeterminations?How? I believe the videos. I would go to Israel, but you wouldn't believe me, would you? I watched your video, it is not... how do i say this with out being personally insulting... evidence of anything and why would going to Israel prove anything? njaohnt almost 300 posts in the thread and so far no evidence what so ever, really and truly if you have evidence that is more than just empty claims from rabid believers please post it or admit you have faith and nothing else...
