Is there such a thing as God?

Religion on the other hand, is something that pretty much must be taken on pure faith. There is evidence, but as I said before, no cold hard indisputable facts. This is what separates it from science, and is the concept that BoxofFail and MatPL can't seem to comprehend.

what do you expect from 14 and 15 year olds if these young un's put as much thought into their decks as they do in things they can't possibly comprehend they would be world champs:lol::biggrin:
 
God can't know what we are going to do if we have free-will... It's either destiny or free-will, it can't be both.

And on the topic of homosexuality, I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed. If you like a certain food, you should be able to eat it, in most cases. You don't choose to like that food. Just like how you don't choose which sex or sexes you like.

Why would God love every single insignificant creature he made, he'd be wasting his time if he did. I am atheist do I don't believe in any God. Whoever came up with the idea of God really had a lot of time on his/her hands to do all this.

toxictaipan really had a good post, I'm pretty sure none of you follow all of the rules of your religion, "God" must hate you for that.

He can know what we are going to do and just let us do it even if he doesn't like it. That is still free will. Now if he didn't like it and stopped us then it is not longer free will

My one reply is in red.
 
XxMarkTx, please tone down your comments. Further posts of that manner can be grounds for infractions and result in time away from the gym.
 
Not in the least. There are no cold hard facts that there is a God out there. This is something that must be taken on faith. There might be a lot of evidence for a God, however, unlike something in science where I can show you physical proof of its existance, the same can not be done with God.

On the other hand, there are plenty of facts, and loads of data to support modern science. This isn't about faith, it's about simply drawing the best conclusions possible from all the data you have in front of you. The very foundations of science are founded in indisputable facts, and you would be an idiot to argue otherwise.

I'm not saying that there aren't flaws in it. We keep trying to get rid of such flaws. However, this still isn't basis for any form of argument that the whole system is bad, and that none of it is to be trusted.

Are you calling me an idiot? Or are you just saying that if you argue with this that you are an idiot, leading me to assume that you called me an idiot, thus making me my own idiot? (That was a joke. I'm a very sarcastic person :p)

Anyways, I didn't say that the whole is system is bad and that it can't be trusted. I just believe that you can trust it just as much as you can trust religion. No more, no less. To me, they are essentially the same thing.

Also, why are these facts of science indisputable? Because they can't be proven false, or they just have yet to be proven false?

It is for you to decide weather you're an idiot or not. I simply laid out a few of the requirements for being one. :wink::tongue:

Haha, I would argue with you about your requirements for being an idiot, but I'll save that for another topic :lol:
 
The point isn't if he likes it or not, it's how can someone know what you are going to do, if you make your own decisions.

How can we predict what weather will do? How can we know what the outcome of a very advanced equation is going to be? God knows EXACTLY who you are, even better than you known your self. Therefore, it would make sense that he knows what you're going to do in any given situation.

Also, God is not restricted by time like we are. God can be anywhere, in anytime. If God can be anywhere in anytime, it naturally would make sense that He knows what's going to happen in the future.

Not the greatest explanation in the world of how that all works, and I'm sure there's far better, but it should be good enough to give you the rough idea of it.
 
^ Now watch, what you just said will be compared to "Santa clause" and this thread will begin to "jingle" all the way-right out from under the christmas tree.

And that magical book known as the Bible told that to you? Why do you believe in the Bible and not any other religious book?

The sad thing is that he basically did describe the supposed qualities of santa.
 
^ nice! Exactly my point! It is amazing how some religions will make up something to make a point or to teach a moral issue/standered that is not entirly analogy that is supported by a lie, or the foundation is "practice" to keep "tradition", while it realy is a hidden agenda that is double standered. ( I hope you get what I mean).

Have you ever played a starfox game? I would assume it to be like that. Were God is the programmer and made every single possible outcome, and let the player decide the ending, even if unintentional.
 
This is just my two cents, but I don't think there's enough proof either way.

I really like the quote by George Lucas, and it's something along the lines of this

"Our knowledge of the universe is at about a 5 right now. What people don't know, is that the scale goes up to one million."

Hmm, I'm not going to disagree with you per say, but I'd like to know how you came about that conclusion of how God is like. Is that how you personally see God, did you get that from some religious text, or was it some other source that tried to define God?

I do. And I agree.

If I did the same actions as someone else, the outcomes would not be the same.

What I'm trying to point out is that, if there is a God, he would know every single possible outcome of the end result. That's mind numbing when you think about it, and science says otherwise about copying. When doing something with no different variables you get the same outcome. Otherwise insanity sets in, where you do the same thing again and again expecting a different outcome.

Will respond to this later. Busy right now with college related stuff.
