I know god doesn't exist
How do I know this?
Because I'm logical
If you can prove me wrong without denying logic
Than I will believe in god
This proves it op

god exists its me
But i cant use any of my "superpowers"
Take god as an idea there are a lot of things that happen by coincidence god its like luck
Even if you are logical there must be something that has happened to you that you find unexplainable
>>687573589
Given infinite amount of time, everything is possible.
Chance covers all possibility in this universe. There's literally a chance that god will never exist and a chance my dick turns to gold. Chance is not fucking god.

In order for something to exist something needs to create it, no? So something had to have the power to be on its own. Otherwise...explain the beginning.
>>687572684
i believe that god doesnt exist, but thats all, i can only believe, its a question too big for us to care or to ever explain or solve, so i believe that there is no god, althout i dont discard the posibility that there is one, but even if there is one, he has no practical use in the world, he cant do anything and so he is no god rather just a maker
>>687572684
You've all been drinking too much fluoride. There is no God. There is no devil. The only devil is life. And the government using manipulation tactics for a very long time. In more ways then people know. If there was a god. Would he be on this shit hole of a planet. Out of ALL. And that's another thing. Do you think life on other planets thinks there's a god? The answer would be most likely not. God is a concept. A metaphor. Same as heaven and hell. The only gods we have our ourselves. We are all but gods. Try and prove me wrong. And don't just spout bullshit
>>687572684
who is this chick op?

You dont have an infinite amount of time if you cant explain you are just guessing it how can you know it has an explanation
>>687572684
You may be logical, but your spelling sucks.
Of course, logically speaking, you can't prove a negative, so you can never prove God does not exist.
But consider the following. Physicists agree that space-time probably includes an infinite number of universes, each one different.
If that is true, there must be at least one in which God -does- exist because if God could exist in such a multiverse as a finte probability, then he -must- exist, somewhere.

Friend. There is other life on planets. If one came to earth and had super powers and claimed it's God. 75% would most likely believe. And also be scared shitless. People are easily manipulated. There is no sin. Question for you. Before the bible. Does the neanderthal go to hell for murder? They did what they had to to survive. I sent that what we do in our own way no matter what? Either way. If there was a god. It did other have anything to do with the bible. But funny how that is eh. I like religion. People need it now and days. Think about that for a second.
You can't have something from nothing, therefore something created something.
Since something created something it must have created itself.

Why are atheists such idiots? If they don't know their beliefs are true, then why do they still insist on disagreeing with people who do?
>>687576497
OR MAYBE it was just made up for people to try and understand. Yet again. Other planets. Think wider.
>>687572684
To prove God scientifically means to subject God to the scientific method (observation, hypothesis, experiment, etc), which basically means we would have to control the hand of God to do this. God is above humans and we as humans do not and can not control what God does since he is, you know, above humans instead of being subject to humans.
Besides, atheists tend to pigeon hole their minds into thinking science is the ONLY way to prove God, as opposed to the other ways the Bible can be verified. There are other ways to prove the Bible aside from science. For instance, prophecies that have been fulfilled, the change that being saved makes on a person, and it's STILL the best explanation for why humans act the way they do towards each other. Think outside the box for once, people.
>>687572684
Logically you can't prove there isn't a god either, as far as I've seen.
As long as we're entertaining you, you could return the favor.
Personally I believe in a power outside that which I can recognize. Not that it's any "god" by the meaning we commonly associate with the word, and I can't say if the power is even cognitively aware, as its state is probably far beyond anything quantifiable through logic; like I said earlier, a power beyond that which is recognizable.
I believe in this power because I believe logically consciousness is unable to be replicated through physical means. I guess I can get deeply into the process I used to decide this, but I can't remember exactly how. Basically I find it hard to believe evolution could have resulted in consciousness if it is something physically intangible.
Much like energy and matter - things which were not the product of evolution, and have no specified origin.
>>687572684
God exists because im logical. If you can prove he doesnt exist then i will believe you

>>687575342
In a universe like ours the concept of a god breaks the laws of physics.
No matter how many tries you get, you can't break those laws, so there are no universes like ours with a god.
to add on to that, the Christian concept of a god requires that god to create the universe, which is also impossible.
>>687572684
If you want us to attack your logic you're going to have to provide it.

>know god exists because faith and the bible
Faith is literally just belief without evidence, and the bible is a book with no sources.
>>687573966
Didn't you just argue that given an infinite amount of time, everything is possible. Wouldn't that mean it's possible that a god would exist?
>>687576977
People in here are just staying so... straight lined. The answer is simple. We tried to understand something we don't but do in our own way. We made it up. That's all it is... but then more at the same time.....
Still no logic

>>687577748
>Faith is literally just belief without evidence
False. True faith is evidence of its own.
>>687577589
Transcending time in the first place breaks the laws of physics. You're making the assertion that something can bypass the laws of physics "just because". If you can show me the math that lets something transcend time, go ahead.
>>687578010
>True faith is evidence of its own.
evidence of how thoroughly you've been tricked? the amount of baseless belief you have doesn't make something true.
>>687578010
Define faith, then. Because the literal definition of faith I know is an acceptance of a statement as true SPECIFICALLY without evidence.
>>687578375
This guy gets it.
This thread was entertaining for a while but now all yall motherfuckers have gone boring.
I'm out.
>>687578010
Can you give me a source on that?
>>687578549
he has true faith that it's correct, which means it's correct, friend :^)
>>687578702
The circular logic is real.
>>687578375
>>687578466
>>687578549
True faith cannot be false.
My question is why argue a moot point?
The question is only meaningful to those who don't know the answer - and at the point the answer is revealed the question no longer holds meaning.
Argument will never come up with anything decisive, and literally only exists as a way for two people to be mad at each other.
OP basically said ITT we speculate everyone else is wrong
>>687572684
Oh, wow, so insightful!
>>687572684
Look into God as the first cause. Logic can be harnessed equally in favor of and against the idea of God. What it comes down to is faith. To reject God one must have the same faith as one who accepts God. Logic proves nothing; one philosopher states an idea and supports it with logic applied in a thought experiment, another does the same and contradicts the first. Both follow, they are both logical, yet they come to different and contradictory conclusions.
Blah blah blah. Who gives a shit, in the end we will all find out the truth. In the mean time, why even bother shitting up your life and the lives of others with this nonsense?
If you know he doesn't exist why do you want a bunch of random retards on the internet to make you believe in him?
>>687578857
Again, why? You're asking us to believe faith is evidence based on... faith. That's a circular argument if I've ever seen one.
>>687578857
I have true faith that God does not exist. I firmly believe this in my heart of hearts. Does this mean God does not exist?
>>687579079
If god can be the first cause then why can't the big bang?
>>687578010
That faith exists is evidence that the brain can experience faith. It's kind of weak evidence for the existence of God though, you still need another piece of evidence to show that faith is actually connecting you to God somehow. For example, you may touch a doorknob and find that it's hot, which is weak evidence there is a fire on the other side of the door. Maybe the sun was just beating down on it though. Hot doorknob and a smoky room, strong evidence there is fire.
should i mow the lawn or have a beer . What would god do?
>>687579206
If you had ever experienced it, you'd understand. True faith is a gift from God, and if you opened up to him maybe he would give it to you.
>>687579386
You do not have true faith. True faith cannot be false.
>>687572684
I don't think you understand what logic is.
Anyone who says god is/isn't real is wrong
>>687579554
Welp, you've devolved to insulting instead of argument. No hope for an honest debate I guess.
>>687572684
or you can google Karl Popper and not be an edgy teenager anymore.
>>687579743
I'm not insulting anyone. I am contradicting you, because you are wrong.

>>687579966
What you're doing is yelling "your wrong" over and over instead of actually providing evidence.
>>687579445
I think you missed the point entirely.
>>687580209
You say you have true faith that God exists.
However, true faith cannot be wrong.
Therefore, you must not have true faith.
>>687579554
>You do not have true faith. True faith cannot be false.
Okay, so according to your argument, someone who believes in faith the same way you do, but believes in a different god, DOES NOT have true faith, because if your faith is true and they contradict, he is wrong.
According to your argument, you are correct because you dropped acid or something and """"god"""" """"told you"""" you were correct, and therefore we should believe what you believe. Because you claim to have true faith.
>>687580502
So basically, your argument is that what you think is right and what everyone else thinks is wrong?
>>687572684
Prove God doesn't exist.
>>687580832
In a debate the one making a positive claim is the one that has to provide the proof. Arguing against a negative claim by saying "prove it" is called a teacup fallacy.
>>687580832
Unprovable, even by checking the entire universe for god at the same time. Because according to the rules of god, god can do anything he wants, including violating physics and hiding himself perfectly.
Luckily you never have to prove a negative. Assertions without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
"Everything was made by a bearded man with a fiery torture fetish"
"Nah" -valid counter-response
>>687580713
No. I KNOW that God exists, because he has given me true faith. Atheists are mostly misguided/misinformed. Those who claim to have true faith that God doesn't exist are lying, because true faith can come only from God.
>>687580681
I wouldn't expect you to understand. Like I said, if you opened up to God maybe he'd show you.
>>687572684
>>687572684
>I know god doesn't exist
That's an illogical statement. If you were really logical, you'd understand that there isn't objective evidence that proves or disproves his existence.
Being too far right or left is illogical in the the state of lacking evidence to prove either argument.
>>687581455
>Like I said, if you opened up to God maybe he'd show you.
What did you cut your DMT with before you were shown the truth? Ground up communion wafers?
>>687581455
All of this is only according to you. You may "know" that god exists, but your evidence for that is that you "know" god exists.
>he has given me true faith
according to you
>atheists are misguided
according to you
>true faith only comes from god
according to you
>>687581900
And this line of logic relies heavily on a deep sense of cosmic self-importance- "God spoke to ME PERSONALLY and revealed the truth, not like you dumb mislead plebs"

I, an anon on 4chan, cannot convince you that anything I tell you is true. But in any case, I KNOW that God is real, while you as an atheist cannot KNOW that he isn't. By default, I win the argument.

>>687583147
wow, really? good thing you came along to tell us that.

what makes you think your god created everything else he could just be a creation of a higher being
>>687575342
All of this
>>687584335
Perhaps he didn't. All that matters is that he is our creator, and he is our higher being.
So, to believe in God implies the cancellation of any logic, at least in true propositional sense. Those who believe they can demonstrate God's existence with Logic are misguided. They always use the Bible to demonstrate anything. What gives truth to the Bible is that it was revealed by God. This reveletion for theists is where their idea of truth lies. But it is validated only by faith, and that faith is unreasonable, St. Augustine himself demonstrated it. Holy truth must be irrational for only the ones who have faith shall enter the realm of god or whatever. So, no, it is imposible to show through logic that God exists.

You're either saying that God doesn't exist, or that something created him
*sigh*
easy: knowledge
knowledge (logos, one of its meanings,) leads to truth
truth is everything about something, past, present,future, etc.
since everything is related, you need to know everything to know the truth,
compared to others (humans) we're stupid as fuck, and still they don't know shit.
God is the basis, the truth. if you can't gather all knowledge, you will never be able to understand God. "...then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free..."

Look at the environment around you ya fucking twat.
A genius being had to have set this design in motion, but whatever that genius is doesn't give a fuck, so why should we give a fuck...
God is real and it's out there, but why care if it doesn't care about its creations.
You can't prove God, you can't disprove God. It is a harsh understatement to say that humanity is to technologically primitive to prove his existence. Assuming he does exist, he's placed a cap on how far we can get so that faith becomes the determining factor whether or not we love him.otherwise, he would've shown himself a long time ago instead of being so cryptic. Whether or not you do believe is really expressed in Pascal's Wager
>>687587006
Tell me exactly why a "genius" is needed for the universe to function.
It does "who is man that you are mindful of, mere mortals that you care for" if by "doesn't care", meaning he does not consider stupid requests then you're wrong. he is a Loving and Just God. (still in the argument of if you can't know everything, then trust in the one that does)
>>687587219
Pascals wager is stupid. It assumes that there can only ever be one, Christian, god. It's perfectly possible that worshiping another god will make the true god more angry than not worshiping at all.

>First define God at it's most basic/universal
An unfathomable yet all powerful force
>Then estimate it's likelihood of existence
For something to be unfathomable is fairly likely. In Science there are many dead ends still surrounded in questions. These questions, like the question of God's existence itself, have existed since the dawn of human memory. Logic says it's probable they are unfathomable.
For something to be all powerful is not beyond logical/scientific understanding either. Things which are infinite, such as the universe and time itself, give the potential for infinite power. By definition, that which holds infinite power is all powerful.
How likely is it that such a power might be wielded? If you look at the progress of human civilization and its potential outcomes, you begin to see the possibility. When you consider the likelihood of other life in the universe, it becomes likely.
So, logicially speaking, God probably exists.
>>687590569
rather that is a mahousive cock.
Quite easy to predict what you might do in the next twenty minutes.
Please just google Ostrogothic kingdom. ill give you a minute
>>687590955
The bible predicted Israel because much of it was written in the literal kingdom of Israel, which controlled some of the same area that modern Israel does. The modern state of Israel was set up to mirror the ancient state from the bible. The bible didn't "predict" anything, we artificially created a state based on the one in the bible.
and predicting is shit. (infinite instances argument) but accordingly, when it's God's message it is proven, (insert resurrection argument here)

Do atheists reject the idea of a God or religion?
I think we all must know the universe must have been initiated by something - to me it does not need to be any sort of being. To me it could have been an instability of nothing and I would call that act, act of God.
What I hate is the world is divided between the main religions. Surely if there was a conscious God that has physical influence, only one is correct and would have dominance over humanity.
These main religions are Earth focused with no solution to the likely and impending discovery of life on other worlds. Fine, any other body in the solar system may only have single cell organisms, and religions can reject on the basis they're not conscious. Well I would say with a blend of Earth's life model and the discovery on other worlds it is extremely likely that there are other intelligent life forms elsewhere.
At that point I would ask religions what the fuck you going to alter now to your holy books to fit this shit in - all to justify your years of wasted time believing in something that is false.
Only physics chemistry biology psychology are in control of my destiny.

The big bang cannot have been ratified from nowhere, the big bang has no author, so doesnt god. Therefore believing god exists is just as stupid as believing in the big bang
>>687592339
your so wrong it hurts man. preferable outcome their all right. Atheism accepts the other realms, hindus are right about reincarnation and the holy trinity guides us through consistent civility and an analogous relationship with the quantum world we create around us in our own minds.
Its fucked how we work but down burn the collage
>>687592435
What scientist thinks the big bang came from no where?
Most I know have theories, like a alternate dimensional membranes colliding to create universes within a multiverse - it's just not naive enough to claim they're more than theories.
yep, but you dont need to believe for it to exist, try to not believe gravity. or do not believe I have a chair next to me. (again atheist=does not know God, if you know god but with an agrument you're not atheist, probably agnostic. goes for everyone)
so logical you know the difference between "than" and "then"
>>687573966
Wrong. Given infinite time, everything that is possible will happen. To the fellow that said his dick will turn gold, no it won't.
>>687592339
>I think we all must know the universe must have been initiated by something
Interesting thing really, it doesn't. Time is directly affected by gravity (more gravity = time goes slower relative to something not effected by gravity), among other things. The further you go back in time, the denser the universe gets, and the more gravity everything is effected by. If you go back far enough, you reach a point where the universe is so dense that time doesn't move forward. this can be seen as the beginning of the universe. The "big bang" is the rapid expansion that occurred when the universe expanded just enough that time could affect matter/energy. I'm no astrophysicist, but hawking has written some very interesting literature on the subject.
>*college
what if big bang happened due to a prior existence of matter? (don't expound, that's beginning of the universe, we're at a 'prove God exists' thread)

Black holes, dark matter, absolute zero... things that physicists agree bend, or even break, the laws of physics. Now, this doesn't prove God, but does prove that you don't know what the heck you are talking about.

>>687594092
No physicists agree these things break the laws of physics. What they do agree on is that they don't fully understand them. Just because we don't understand certain things does not mean we can confidently say literally anything can happen.

>logic
the only logically conclusion is that there may, or may not be a god.
there is no evidence that proves god. this is NOT proof the god does NOT exist.
there is no evidence that disproves god. this is NOT proof that god DOES exist.
there is not enough evidence to support any conclusion other than UNKNOWN
atheists are as bad as religious people. when you make "factual" statements "god" and say that you "know" it is or isn't real, you're proving how very little you understand about the world.
agnostics are the only ones getting it right.

True, either way his dick will not turn gold.
If his dick could exist for infinite time, it is not possible for it to turn gold.

His dick cannot exist for infinite time, and also cannot turn gold.

Well, to burst some of your bubbles, physics as we know it is just the frosting on an iced bottle as to how the universe is.
If you take a clip of doing a flip and reversed it, that is "possible" and perfectly follows physics. Imagine eating a cake by spoon for a minute then reversing it. Doesn't look possible yet follows the laws of physics.
Time isn't linear.

I believe in A, therefore A proves B. Since B is real, it is evidence of A. Religious reasoning, right? Belief in "evolution" means that the ape bones, which match perfectly with an ape, which are missing its hands, feet, and head, connected with human-like footprints found a thousand miles away must mean that ape jad human-like hands, feet, and face, since humans could not be at the time, and we name this "Lucy: mother of humanity" . Therefore, since Lucy is true and real, she PROVES evolution, which disproves God... Seriously, how do you people believe this?

furthermore, infinite universes does not imply that an event will occur
you have the implicit assumption that any given event, no matter how absurd, has an infinitesimal probability of occurring, and thus it becomes certainty (in the limit as one goes to infinite universes)

All this 'being a good person' shit is a part of our instincts. Not being a 'good person' generally leads to having no friends and being a social outcast, which is adverse for survival. People don't like 'not good' people because they generally don't give a fuck about their situation and will do as they please.
It's amazing how far a social psychology perspective goes in debunking a lot of the religion shit.
Remember that Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and the whole lot could have just been a series übermensche, working off of previous grounds to seem legitimate, and expanding their own influence.
Physics allows for a universe to pop into existence. Deal with it.

Thank you!!!
>>687596213
yes it can. there's no reason that it cant, they are made from the same things. The term "organic matter" is just a loose term for anything that can make more of itself.
>>687596416
>anything is possible
uh... no? anything that is possible can/will happen, but that doesn't mean anything can happen.
I'm an atheist, but I don't dispute that there is something that created everything. But if we were purely speaking of logic, then God has yet to be proven. And unfortunately there is more scientific logic than there is of the self contradicting bible. Which is why I tend to believe the fact that there is more than likely no god. If there is a god, and you presume that it's a living thing, then it has left. There is no reason for it to stick around and watch us, and apparently people believe that it watches every single human on the earth and has a plan for each one. Now that is even more absurd to me because there are billions of people on he earth. There is no way someone would stay to monitor each individual person in the world. If there were to be a god, it has much bigger and better things to do than watch people and make plans for each of them. I can't prove that he doesn't exist, but the staggering amount of unreasonable ideas leads me to believe that a god is absurd. And that if there is one, then he doesn't necessarily care about one tiny planet in the extraordinarily massive universe that we have proof exists. We are particles compared to what God could be focusing on creating right this second. And if you say, yes he can watch all of us and makes plans for all of us then that sounds even more absurd. And I don't see how people don't realize that.

can't find the specific stories that i am thinking of, but there are countless where the laws, perfect and infallible that they are, are broken, and then need to be reworked. one example is http://www.livescience.com/15873-light-bending-experiment-physicists-coneheads.html but you will just say "that's because we didn't know everything," even though we never will, which points to the laws being bent, over and over again

Think about it like this, electrons have been proven to exit and enter reality randomly. And what is our brains but a network of super electrons? So with that being said, our mind/ centiouns (soul) exist both in the 3rd dimension and outside of it (afterlife) simultaneously. All religious tomes ancient so they were forced to speak in parables and symbolism, unfortunately there is no way to prove in a higher power because we are technically advanced but not spiritually, so yer best bet is to reflect internally and come to these conclusions your self.
There's a creator, he's not the religious text. Either you are atheist because you're edgy, and don't know science, Theism is just as logical if not more
>>687596993
We all know how that went
>>687596993
>>687596860
Generally (if you're in a STEM class) your professor is repeating to you the findings of researchers studying the physical world. If he asks you to discuss something, then it's for the purpose of teaching you what research has found. As I said, you can't learn anything quantifiable from discussion.
>>687597390
Demon or Frog?
>>687596862
I wouldnt bother. its in the error term. basically something you know thats there but have no way of disassociating it from normal probability.
thats why quantum mechanics just looks whacko, because it makes up the error term of the physical realm of science.

>but you will say "that's just because we don't know everything"
I guess science is useless. We should just say "fuck it, we'll never know everything so we should just get back to fucking sheep" We should never question anything and if we see something that doesn't fit our current model we should just accept it as a miracle. Again, just because we don't understand some things doesn't mean literally anything can happen.

>>687597511
do you recall the writings of Einstein? i recall that in one of them, he explained how the black hole could never possibly exist, using science to prove it. when you claim this "error term" as your security blanket, saying that everything will have something that can prove it wrong and make it need to be reworked, therefore science is infallible because it admits its failings, that is nonsense. if something is a law, it is unbreakable, according to science. but yes, as was stated earlier, there are writings by famed scientists that cast quite a lot of doubt on the infallibility of science.
>>687581024
Wrong, it's only a "negative claim" when it's proven. Which you haven't. If you're going to pretend to be scientific leave your opinion out of it.

Aight, I misread your posts. Apologies.
>>687598705
Example of a negative claim
>A doesn't exist
Example of a positive claim

That's all that's needed for something to be a negative/positive claim. "god exists" is a positive claim. "god doesn't exist" is a negative claim.
Define God.

the url is missleading. read that and it sounds like they entirely made it. all they did was take a bacterium, splice some dna, and say "new life." if that's a miracle of science, bacteria have been miracle workers for ages, as they can take dna from each other to make it their own...

Trying to prove a negative and claiming that it's logical somehow.
mfw
Example: why can you feel something that happens to a loved one from afar? String theory, a theory yes. However the way it works( read up ) is in a simple aspect a billion mph/sized subatomic particle linking you physically with another. Spanning distances and time realms we've yet to even conceive. Matter, organic ? Octopi can self spawn. The zygot can divide into twins. Fuck yea it can self produce. The goddamn coral reef.
>>687599039
You're right, I didn't read the whole article. having read more of it, the first paragraph was misleading.
Anyway, there's nothing inherently special about life. we could construct a working organism atom by atom if we had the time. The article does show that there's nothing special or mystifying about the genetic code though.
>>687599620
Quantum entanglement is part of quantum theory, not string theory. They both have absolutely nothing to do with "feeling something that happened to a loved one from afar" that would be conformation bias.
>>687599769
Are you even thinking before you shitpost? Seriously, you're making abstract claims based off of literally no factual evidence, which, if I recall, is exactly what you're claiming us religious folk are doing.
>>687599417
You can prove negatives.
You can prove that you don't weigh a certain amount using a scale.
For a non-empirical example, you can prove that an argument is not valid by showing that its premises don't necessarily lead to its conclusion.
>>687599769
are you serious?? nothing special about life? life is precious, and it only comes around once. but yes, just because we understand it, doesn't me we will ever recreate it. man cant do what God can do. and when man tries to play God, we fuck everything up

Fallacy.
You cant "believe" something "logical". This is called knowledge, not belief.

These four atomic structures creat everything! Aside from dark matter.
Here are some things to google. Bohr's modle, tesla, max plank, the double slit. Photo eclectic effect. (H=v/c)= light, life, energy ect...
>>687600004
There's nothing that stops us from building life, so why couldn't we? Just like almost everything else in the universe, it's essentially just atoms mashed together.
Feeling are Litrally energy. Not medaforically but tangible mass!
>>687600363
again, provide some sources for your info? There most certainly ARE things which stop us from building life; if it were truly as simple as "hey guys, let's smash some atoms together until we get it right" then don't you think we'd have done it by now?
I am going to propose a little thought experiment here so that it may broaden your mind.
Think of the level of sophistication our digital technologies have reached. extrapolate the rate of expansion of capabilities where we are able to recreate reality in virtual realities that are indistinguishable or at least as compelling as what we consider reality. This is no leap of faith in the slightest.
Suppose the universe is incredibly big, not infinite per se, but the approximation of infinite compared to us individually.
suppose civilizations have come and gone on a slightly less grand order of magnitude, but immense nonetheless in both space and time.
Suppose some of these civilizations developed virtual reality systems of immense capability far far in the past.
Each of those civilizations could have created a near infinite amount of those.
There is no way of knowing (and thus disproving) that you and I are not experiencing one of these virtual realities at this very moment.
Statistically speaking it is even more likely that what we call reality is in fact virtual.
How would quasi-infinite digital consciousness evolve itself ? How would it decrease its entropy ?
By dividing itself into tiny pieces and react with itself in artificially created constraints like enormous entropy in the system so that the individual consciousnesses in the system have to swim upstream and better themselves and have to deal with death, which is only real within the system, not without.
Outside the system everything can be stored and analyzed about what is happening inside the system.
The whole meta-system would grow in complexity and decrease in entropy.
ta-da God is real.
>>687600666
Not the guy you're replying to. It's obviously not that simple, but there could be energy and matter at play that we don't understand yet. Doesn't mean we will understand it, but it is possible. This really doesn't go anywhere to prove or disprove god honestly. It's best to stay in the realm of whether or not it's reasonable to assign the status of a "being" or "person" to a proposed first cause of the universe in my opinion.
>>687600666
We have almost done it, we still cannot create life ex nihilo but we can assemble all elements into a living bacteria. It's like every new technology, you may need several generation to build an usefull prototype.
>>687600082
>but yes, just because we understand it, doesn't me we will ever recreate it.
Well if we can create it we will (infinite universe and whatnot). but that's besides the point. We can create life, but it would cost billions, take a lot of time, and serve no purpose.
>>687595837
for someone that claims to be knowledgeable, you don't seem to know what oral tradition or witness testimony are. let us start with witness testimony: all the science that you believe because someone else saw it and wrote it down? exactly that. oral tradition is basically the story, told by heart, to public gatherings. in such cultures, everyone knows the stories, as they are told so often, and trying to change them has harsh punishments. so, as you said, since books with things that YOU PERSONALLY have not seen must be false, all science texts must be bullshit. you are more an enemy of atheism than any "religious nut" could be.
>>687600049
showing the fallacy of someones argument doesn't invalidate someones claim. Only his logic and baseline assumptions.
A which doctor can give you a lengthy explanation about the thirst of the spirits that reside in this or that plant need to be quenched with spring water before it can remove the deamons from your infested wound.
You can tear his superstitions apart and it wouldn't make the reality and effectiveness of his medicine any less.
Well until we as humans can individually select specific atoms hand by hand and arrange them, not possible. That's known as alcamy. Yet we have generated some really unique 100% fabricated man made elements. Fuck we can test tube diamond! Give it time it will happen.
>>687601261
i love how atheists claim infinite universes, with no propf whatsoever, and no possibility of testing it, yet then they go apeshit over someone not proving God to them
I'm tired of idiots saying God doesn't exist.
God clearly exists because you're talking about it.
We have a word for God, words are attached to ideas and things.
So even if there isn't anything you can point to and identify as specifically God, you're talking about an idea which clearly exists...because you're talking about it.
There asshat, there's your circular logic proof of God.

>>687595455
Do you know what infinite means? In this case with our universe, something had zero chance happening, and also had zero chance of happening in any other because it couldn't happen in ours, wouldn't that mean there's a universe that it would most definitely happen, and in turn also at one point happen in every other universe?
>>687601372
never said that proving that the argument is invalid proves the claim is invalid. just used that as an example that you can prove a negative, such as:
"Your argument is not valid."
>>687601764
no, because a universe with slightly different laws wouldn't be stable (aka, can't exist)
>>687601764
A universe with completely different laws could exist though.
>>687583887
I keked
I love science and debating, but the point has risen as it always will; you reach a depth in discussion to no resolution. Science is what we rely on simply because, yes even being told to us. It's what are everyday is structured on. So if your to tell me that science is shit, well I'd say your an ass. Because if you believe in it or not, or even if it is shit. We still dictate our every waking exsitance per it's laws. Per it's laws we are taught are true and have no other modern catalyst to rely on. Thus it's true to us, if it's crap or not it's true enough to us to structure are lives on.
Why doesn't God exist? Is it because you can't see him? Because by going by that logic I shouldn't believe in tectonic plates beneath the earths surface either.
>>687602358
I don't think that's why anyone's an atheist.
>>687601619
and this is unrelated to the infinite realities theory. this is about the collapse and re-expansion cycle of our universe and how it goes on forever. yet, if the big bang happened, how did that infinitely massive singularity decide to explode for no reason? oh, internal forces pushing it apart? really? then where did the singularity come from, the collapse of the last universe? okay, if the overall force of the universe is to cause it to collapse, then what change was made to make it explode? the only other possibilities are that the net force is or will become zero, in which case, what is causing it to stay zero when things are still expanding?
>>687602431
Ok then why?
>>687602529
Ah sorry, read that as "an infinite universe" not "infinite universes" don't know enough about the multiple universe theory to comment on it.
>>687573966
Given an infinite amount of time anything is possible
Therefore God is inevitable given enough time.
Checkmate
and to be blunt, if there truly are infinite parallel universes, then there are a number in which they have already proven it, and in those, a number where they have found ways to share this knowledge, and then, in those, a number where they will want to and won't be dissuaded. the fact that another me hasn't shown up to say "hey, God's disproved, here's proof of everything," is the strongest evidence to any person of logic.
Because they said "hey man lets get together and make some shit"

pretty sure all Abrahamic religions function the same in this type of debate.
some would claim that atheism is a mainstream religion, as the faithful atheist, so faithful in the non-existence of any god but their all-powerful atheismo (evolution), cite the works of the faithful and their creeds to try to convert (or "save") the unenlightened (heathens)
>>687602998
but why limit whats possible in this infinite universe to the simple understanding of humans?
>>687603054
Ah, I didn't pick up on that since my original reply was to OP.
Damn we need ID's back, because the statement chain of an argument is impossible to follow now.
As always, its very funny and entertaining to read through these threads. Believers and non believers will argue forever because they will never find a point they both equally see sense in. In my opinion its quite useless to argue about it. It is a good thing for everybody to have something one believes in. But if you have the freedom to believe in what you want and think is right, you should grant this freedom to others too. There is nothing more annoying than people trying to force their different opinion on others. To me god is an idea. You cannot completely and without any doubt prove he exists and its the same about proving that he doesnt exist. Thats why its called belief. Its your choice if believing is plausible to you or not. So many conflicts in the history of mankind were caused by argueing about ideas and ideals. Just let everybody think what he likes to.
>>687603121
but muh burden of evidence anon!
>>687603220
actually, you are wrong. the Christian faith teaches to "test all things, hold fast to that which is true," yet the koran teaches you to believe no matter what the tests say.

The default is always the negative, so until the existence of god is proven, it will be assumed he doesn't exist.

I don't care about anything further in the argument because both parties call either heads or tail on the same baseless coin.
Neither party can know for sure, so it is beyond autistic to think any new real meaningful revelations can come from the same argument that has been had since forever.
The only answer is I don't know. Trying to prove a positive or disprove a negative is pointless.

Stupid atheists. Fucking animals and children is a- ok in their worldview
quantum entanglement and other scientific proven facts suggest that the universe was programmed, thus a creator exists.

Food for thought. Reality does NOT exists. As every living anything percieves it's very own scope of exsitance, self awareness, natural/manufactured state. Every reality is different and no one real anything exsists. Things only exsist as you percieve them.
So think of how many realities that is. That's you infinite universe! That's your never ending forge to the answer of all things. Every thing posted bye all is just a rip off of crap that's been kicked around since conitive thought. All of your arguments leak profucily. Which I'd be ok with, if they had at least been your own. Not crap you'll switch up by next week. Claiming to be Atheist or Christian, or what ever made up bull you subscribe too. Is hearding your self in with others that believe in what ever to say, hey we choose a belief structure previously put in place because we're to stupid to form free thoughts of our own. Don't subscribe to a damn thing ever! Aside from yourself.

it does say to follow the teachings of a man that taught us to love each other, unlike the koran, whose prophet had been in war until his death, but no, the Bible does not demand blind faith. faith is like a seed, given when you hear and accept, or see a miracle that goes againsy all possibility, then, as you test it, and nurture it, it grows. but no, blind faith is never demanded. it teaches that you need to tell of the miracles, the reasons that you believe, to give the person a chance to see God's action in your life.

well the concept of a Christian god doesn't fit very well with the laws of physics (the universe was not "created", and time isn't linear) but my comment was more on the "anything is possible" comment of the other guy.
