This is a portion of the site that allows us to express and debate our opinions, religious ideas, and beliefs. Guess what? This is where we get into each other's boats. |

The way I see it is this is just the pier where we can all talk to each other from our own respective boats. Just becuse we don't believe doesn't mean we aren't open to hearing why others believe what they do. You can tell us your beliefs without pushing them on us (which has been done so far and I appreciate that)

| Re: Proof of the Creator.. It would be ignorant for people to try and push the beliefs of one onto another. Wars have begun over this. Myself - I believe in placing well documented evidence before a person and allow them to use the grey matter between their ears.
I am a Christian, that's evident. I would never sacrifice my reputation or friendship over a forceful display of religion or anything else. Force turns people away.
Have I been guitly of what I claim. I can't say, but I would hope not. If I were to see myself trying to cram my beliefs down someone's throat hopefully I would be allowed to see it.
Even Jesus was sensitive to this. You cannot force people to believe. We all have a free will. When Jesus sent the Disciples out to minister He told them to leave if they didn't want to listen. Shake the dust from your feet and keep moving. |

I want everyone to understand something before I make my next post, I'm smiling as I type this. I enjoy this type of debate. I hold no judgemental feelings whatsoever. | I have as much evidence and probably more than you do that a god does not exist. I didn't start a new thread to tell everybody about it.

I've studied, I've researched, I've read, and I have come to the conclusion that there has to be a Creator.
I am more than willing to listen to anyone's intellegent theories and thoughts concerning the non-existence of God. What you will find through Science however is the common opinion that the World and Universe had to have a beginning that started from nothing. And again you will find that the majority rules in favor of a Creator. | I never called anyone mentally disabled. You just made that erroneous assumption. I said they had a "psychological disorder". Many people have psychological disorders and function in society quite successfully.
But you seem to be calling me a moron. And a thoughtless moron at that. Well I take exception to that. I had to think a bit to write the post you responded to. And I have to think some right now. And as for being a moron....blue....
The question I have for you is, Why do you need to have the belief/"knowledge" that there is a god and that he/she/it created the universe?
And a follow up question. Did you do something bad that you hope beyond hope you will be forgiven for when you die and are judged? |

| Re: Proof of the Creator.. Jaim, if you would like, go ahead and make all the claims you would like that God doesn't exist. I'll still stick to my beliefs. And for the heck of it I might as well defend all of the ideas and theories you present.
On another note though, it doens't matter what I might say - one person cannot force another person to believe something that they don't want to.
As for the name calling - let's just keep all the immiture stuff out. (Think about it, if you didn't tell me I had psychological issues I didn't call you a moron. I'm easy)
Why do I have to have the belief that God exists? I didn't always have that view. I have a very open mind that has allowed me to see that the world cannot operate without a Creator. Life is very, very fragile. The processes that produce and sustain life are precise and particular to a point of perfection.
The planet we live upon is perfect for sustaining life. In every Solar System discovered there has yet to be another planet with the precision this planet has for sutaining life, according to reasonable Science.
There is nothing, and I mean nothing in Science that has allowed us to make life independantly. We have not been able to make a living organism, or even a semi-functioning body for that matter.
In simple terms for the moment I will only say that there are more questions than answers coming from the Scientific realm. This is something that is leading more and more Scientist in the same direction that I have gone. Yea, they've turned to the social disorder of believing that there has to be a God. |

At any one moment, there will be one or more theories which best fit the facts as they are then known. If knowledge increases quickly because there are more educated people in the world than ever before, then the theories will change faster than before. Truth in the scientific world changes constantly.
Some people are uncomfortable with this and prefer an unscientific, unchanging version of life.
Some prefer to rejoice that humanity is advancing faster today than it ever has.

They can't prove either way that there's life on another planet. They have no way of determining what the conditions are on planets that are millions and sometimes billions of light years away. If you actually think about the numbers the chance of there not being life out there seems kid of unrealistic.

Water really is an amazing solvent. And oxygen is so flammable you can't inject it pure into an engine without a real cool glow, followed by bad noises. (of course we breathe air, but you know what I mean)
Most people don't think of it like that, nice one. |
