You have identified the major problem with the "Does God Exist ?" debates -- there are at least as many unstated concepts of God as there are debaters. I strongly doubt that any consensus on a definition could be reached. Ergo, the debate is pointless. When you address the question on a personal level you are free to formulate your own definition of God. It is on that definition that the outcome of your personal decision process hinges. If you define God as some sort of entity that not only can but with some regularity does intercede in natural physical processes, then there is a great deal of objective evidence that no such God exists. In fact, the existence …

However, I see no purpose in trying to convince theists that they are wrong... there is really no point for this since there is no point to our existence at all. I would rather them be happy on this random rock in the middle of nowhere. Who cares. Why fight it.

according to science all started from BIG BANG and in bibble read at first page let there be LIGHT same thing ?and koran it says respect thisman (jesus) dont that support theory of jesus and then from jesus to muhammed evrybody know bible exists true right? but haveu ever consider apostolhave written that book with 100% possibility and they told from jesus and from that book and from their descendant came cristianity all those thing are facts so dontit lead jesus existed same time as apostolls wrote bible and so is indeed real person to klanynos could be true or not because cristicany existed inin ancient rome abot few years after birth of jesus

These questions popped into my head, and i would like to see a different view on it. why is faith relevant? what relevance does it hold to this moment, right now, at which you are living your life in?

When Jesus said he is the alpha ( 1st ) & omega ( last ), he was actually referring himself to a radioactive atom (spirit-soul) whose nuclei has spontaneously disintegrated & emitted alpha particles or electromagnetic rays during the process ( alpha decay )& Resurrection as an Omega ( baryon )-a subatomic hadron particle which have the symbols Ω Jesus was trying to tell us that we are radioactive atoms (spirit-souls) which have decayed into the human form, aquatic animals, birds, etc after thousands of years of emitting alpha, beta & gamma rays. Here`s an example how a 238U is transformed with a half live of 4.5 billion years to another ato…

With GOD's constant help, I've fulfilled the prophecy of The Revelation 5:1-10:10 by having produced the "book/scroll... sealed with 7 seals"/'beyond Einstein theories'. According to the Bible, only the 2nd Coming of the Christ can produce this. The 74-page booklet is titled There Are No Coincidences - there is synchronism, nonlocal cause-and-effect, design and alignment. Scientific theories have names... A) The Conglomerate of Nonparallel-Universes Theory (Universe Creation Theory), GOD-guided Evolution Theory B) Plan-it Theory: GOD=7_4 algorithm/code or FOD=6_4 (Planet Nestor) - Design Worlds Theory C) Unified Strings U21/S19 Theory (M-theory + time analysis pr…

Imagine a Korean American in Alabama exclaiming "And I Don't Care What it Is!" When Dwight Eisenhower proclaimed 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_I_don't_care_what_it_is" he took a 1st inaugural address attitude "https://www.bartleby.com/124/pres54.html" toward said here the "abiding faith of our fathers" to be Presbyterianism. Many people could publicly note that Jefferson Davis proclaimed the Spirit of Independence of our Fathers in the Confederate Constitution or Inauguration or secession speeches. What's more, we can clearly distinguish a further point in Alabama toward the Peaceful Period and pre-War movement of secession, of the constitution written the…

"Churches" Depravity The reason why I used the word 'Churches" is that abuse is not confined to one Church denomination but happens in many , thus it is a generalizing phrase The 2600-page report by Ireland's Commission to Inquire Into Child Abuse found Rape was endemic in more than 250 Irish-"Churches" care institutions from the 1930s to the 1990s, and the "Churches" protected paedophiles from prosecution. Victims groups say the culture of abuse and cruelty in "Churches"" institutions in Australia last century could have been as shocking as that revealed in a nine-year Irish commission's report. This adds to the sorry saga of the "Churches" in America where…

I watched Da Vinci's code again yesterday. Watching it after some years, and while I was doing homeworks (as of course I already knew the movie...) allowed me to look at it in a different way. So I found that it's not a thriller, it's actually a comedy, or a parody! It was "turned" into a "religious thriller", and subsequently into a "movie scandal", just due to the big power and importance which Christianity has on so many peoples!! (1 billion and counting) What actually the movies/novel says is... just that pussy is powerful, it governed the world in the past, and it was hence "suppressed" by Church! The Holy Grail is just the pussy! Robert Langdon even mimic…

Time and space are very similar things. So much so, in fact, that we treat them the same mathematically. But what are they? They are separations. Distance is the separation between objects within a state, and duration is the separation between states. The magnitude of both separations are relative and depend on the energy distribution within the reference frame of the observer. How can one be outside of all separations. You cannot separate yourself without being separated. To speak of "outside" of the universe is to be unintelligible.

St John's Gospel starts by saying, in the English translation: "In the beginning was the Word". But St John's Gospel was of course originally written in Greek. What it actually said in the original Greek, was: "In the beginning was the Logos". I looked up "Logos" in my Oxford Classical Greek Dictionary. The Dictionary says "Logos" can have the following meanings: "saying, speaking, speech, eloquence, discourse, conversation, talk, word, expression, assertion, principle, maxim, proverb, oracle, promise, order, command, proposal, condition, agreement, stipulation, decision, pretext, fable, news, story, report, legend, prose-writing, history, book, essay, or…

I saw this religion section and I thought of a question I've had. I hope this is not inappropriate for the forum. I'm looking for a term that describes what I'm calling "loop logic" that I have observed in a religious setting. I think there is a word for it, perhaps a legal term, but I cant think of what it is. For some reason "plausible deniability" came to mind but I looked it up and it does not define what I am looking for. Personally, a year or two ago, I was ostracized from my religious community basically for failure to adhere to this "loop logic" mentality. I've seen it used in many different instances. I'm not sure what its called but I feel that there is w…

Let see the movie 'NOAH" most in its sequel has been added, from the original TENET. it is more like a fun movie as it compared to an education for children about FAITH. First i thought it is a spectacular movie that narrated as it written originally and copied from the TENET or scriptures. But finally america is america ... still upholding american dreams, everything is just a business, and profit. maybe TENET or the truth on scriptures will make no profit for the producers, so it made. But don't we have to do some noble things in the world?

In another thread the word "perfect" was being thrown around a lot and it led to a thought. I'll make it clear from the start that this is not attempting to push or validate in any way, any religion or way of thought. I am however postulating a rather amorphous "designer". What I find interesting is that many declare the Universe, or humans to be "bad" design. How do we define a design as bad if we don't know what it was designed to do? A Jumbo jet is a reasonably good design if we want to move hundreds of people and some tons of cargo long distances, it is a very poor design if we want to move 500,000 tons of crude oil. So, if the Universe had a "desi…

It's like when WLC claims he can justify (1) of Kalam by inductive inference. Even given a valid method of induction(which is a HUGE given as no one has been able to find one thusfar), this is not the case. To take something from a specific case to a general case, one must have a specific case from which to generalize! We simply have no known instances of something being cause to exist ex nihilo. Any claim of induction on this matter is either ignorance or equivocation. Conservation laws combined with several cosmological models do infact suggest that the universe COULD have an infinite past. However, even if the universe began to exist ex nihilo, it does not impl…

I'm aware that this is an old thread, but in terms of understanding religion, I've enjoyed reading "The Case For God" by Karen Armstrong, In fact, based upon how clear and enjoyable this book was to read, I'd probably read anything by Karen Armstrong. it's very refreshing to dip into something so cogently expressed. .

Hello everyone, what keeps a human alive?? Since the human body has heat, and works much like an external device to move around with on this planet, then what is the source of this energy? Metaphysical And Or Spiritual: Is it the soul? Scientific: Is the human body "plugged" into an invisible machine, much like a radio, or tv? And if so, where does this energy come from? and where does this energy get recycled as per E= mc squared as energy conservation when a human being dies? If this energy is thus conserved does this mean humans can be: Scientific: Recycled? Metaphysical And Or Spiritual: Re-incarnated? …

Not so popular quotes: Quote by Neil deGrasse Tyson: Quote by Robert A. Wilson: Quote by Jim Walker I express: One need not contact a paradigm, observed to likely express non-science (i.e. belief), when already, science persists. So, what are your thoughts, do you think beliefs are necessary? Footnote: Snippet from "non-beliefism". (Sig) Non beliefism (invented in 2016) is probably atheism's successor. For more information, see "nonbeliefism", in the top level domain (TLD).

The creation account agrees with science: Nanobes > Single celled organisms > multicellular organisms > land animals including Humans In Genesis 1 Adam is created at the beginning of the 6th day. (columns 4 and 5) In Genesis 2 Adam is created at the beginning of the 3rd day. (columns 6 and 7) The two accounts do not conflict. They are just different ways of looking at the same events http://religion.wikia.com/wiki/At-a-glance/The_Bible/101

Hi, I have a simple question. I am an atheist who believes in absolute morality. This event was immoral because it offended the harm-based moral ethic system, the only ethic system. I haven't had much luck with intelligent conversations on the issue so I'll ask here (bad idea maybe). If Any of the many gods that were said to have exist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_religion ) existed, why did they not stop the children from being slain? This is one isolated incident, I know. When I was a theist, I hardly remember asking questions about deity intervention as I was told that it was wrong but as an atheist that is all I ask. If it's free will that killed the …

May not be the place to post, Just seen this in news, 800 children found in mass grave(sewage tank) in home run by nuns, https://uk.news.yahoo.com/irish-catholic-church-says-horrified-childrens-mass-grave-072303452.html#Rt3hFnx These nuns/church need to answer for this atrocity, the same as war criminals, Nothing good ever comes of "organised religion".

A & E. A natural death or murdered by God? A friend has a child with a peanut allergy. He keeps the life saving medicine in his home. He commanded his son not to eat peanuts but one day his son did. On noticing the situation, he quickly administered the drug. He recognized that the fright and discomfort to his child was punishment enough in and of itself and did not administer any other consequences. Not to his recovering child nor his siblings who had been with the child. He mentioned, in jest, that if God would have been of like mind, the world would never have been cursed by God and all of us would not have had death and original sin imposed on us. …

How can creationism counter evolution? What makes intelligent design so "plausible" to the majority of religious Christians?

A and E could not know love without eating of the TOK. There are many discussions centered around the story of Eden regardless of whether you read it literally, as allegory, figurative or myth. Some believe that Satan lied, some that God lied. Some see it as man’s fall while others, the Orthodox Jews who wrote the O T, see it as man’s elevation. Some think becoming as Gods is good, Jews, some not. Christians. Some give A & E free will yet the first time it is used, God punished them. A & E are supposed to be autonomous yet cannot know they are without doing their will instead of the will of God. Some see the punishments and original si…

If Humans forgot about all Religion, what could the Gods theoretically do about that? I remember once a fascinating moment I read in the Jewish/Christian Bible where someone asked God "What do people do, who don't know you exist?" God replied "I made the Moon for people to Worship" God made a failsafe in case people didn't know him.
