Is There a God?

[Samuraikoku]

Who said there ever even was a big bang in the first place? It's just some crap you read out of a textbook in third grader and you sucked it in. If it read in that textbook that a massive tidal wave caused by raining pandas had been "nearly proven" by scientists, you'd have accepted it just as well.

Obviously, I haven't accepted the Bible or the Qu'ran, and I could have read them too. Why do you?

[Magmia]

Because to many, that simply does not make any sense, that the creation of the universe just randomly happen with no explanation.

Why does there have to be a sense?

Because; does it really seem reasonable to believe that such a complex event occured simply be accident? If I were to believe in such a thing for the sake that belief in a God is unreasonable, then the alternative must make sense.

Yes.

Science doesn't pander to your refusal to accept facts. It doesn't care what makes sense to you.

If it read in that textbook that a massive tidal wave caused by raining pandas had been "nearly proven" by scientists, you'd have accepted it just as well. CERN made "big bang-sized" reactions in searching for the Higgs. They certainly don't have another few universes lying around.

This is so factually wrong it's not funny. Are you aware of the universal redshift?

I accept the Bible as much as I accept a distorted book translated from German by a student learning Norwegian, and I don't intend to silence the non-believers in the name of Allah, either.
Why do you believe in Atheism and said big bang?
Because the idea of God is preposterous.
The idea of no God is preposterous, and the idea of the mainstream-Christian God is even further preposterous.

Oh gods, you don't know the meaning of atheism.

[Farnhamia]

I'd prefer a team from Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Edinburgh, a few other places like that.

You forgot MIT. I am disappoint.

Hey, I do the best I can. Feel free to nominate additional members of the Human (Re)Design Project.

[Osterasia]

You need to be careful around here. While some people believe there is a god, I think it's unlikely as it was something people required to believe in the explain things. These days we are generally more rational than we were (.e.g. No floggings/execution for adultery).

I'm technically a Catholic, but honestly I'm agnostic. We don't need a god, but neither do we need many things, so we can't really rule it out. That's why I hate some atheists who just say: There is no god end of. They can't tell, neither can the religious.

Do what Clement Attle did - live to a set of morals, but not to a set of stories.

seems unreasonable =/= is untrue. It's an argument from incredulity. And a god is infinitely more complex that the universe.
I'm gonna post this again:

I recommend you watch it if you want to learn. It's interesting.

If by this you refer to expansion of the Universe, wave-particle duality is your answer. I shift a particle, it sends off some eternal waves, and the universe expands.

I don't believe in atheism. Atheism isn't a religion. Also, there apparently is evidence.

"Why do you believe in atheism" is a malformed question. The question is "why do you not believe in a god". To which the answer is "there's not evidence", not that it's preposterous.

[Magmia]

Yes.

And that right there is the problem, and why Theists and Non-Theists will always be divided.

To us, such thinking is a contradiction to reason, and Non-Theists find it perfectly acceptable.

Apparently not, nor aware of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation or whatever it's called.

That doesn't make sense. I strongly recommend you don't attempt to argue quite complicated science if you don't know what you're talking about.

Do you understand how the doppler effect works?

[Mavorpen]

You do realize that has nothing to do with the expansion of the universe, right?

You're explaining to me something I already know. You're not answering the questions I pose.

There is no reason in religion.

The big bang is pure observation.

1: Every observable object in the universe is moving
2: Every observable object in the universe is moving away from a central area
3: The laws of physics appear to have stayed the same for the amount of time it would take for all of those moving objects to have gotten to where they are from that central area.
4: Therefore, every observable object in the universe was once in that central area, and then expanded outwards.
That's the big bang in a nutshell.

Your opinion on Atheism is not shared by all, there is also evidence against the big bang, and the lack of God holds preposterous because of the proof of God, rather than the... Double-plus unproof.

2: Every observable object in the universe is moving away from a central area

Center of Universe: left, next twelve light-years.
"Damn it! The sign's outdated!"

[Alikhaa]

It could certainly seem like it, and it could have contributed to it. It's foolish to pretend we've got the entire history of the earth figured out. That's a very, very, very long time.

It's foolish to say that because we don't know every detail, therefore global flooding definitely happened. Step down from your high horse pretending like things happened just because you say they did.

That's hardly what I said. I said that there are many reasons that it could have happened. Relax a little.
