    God's ''To do'' list -
    1. Make universe in 7days at the most
    2. Make humans with belly buttons
    3. Place fossils everywhere to give impression of evolution (hehehe that will confuse them)
    4. Drown nearly everyone
    5. Transform myself into my own son. Die for 3 days to impress myself.
    6. Tell everyone I will return shortly
    7. Don't return. Hide.
    Yep, makes perfect sense.

Her name was *Asherah.* But...apparently Yahweh divorced her....or killed her. Something fishy going on there.... What did you do to your wife Mr. Yahweh?? Why does she have bruises all over her?

    The very beautiful point that Visnu Das was making that Hindu Vedic Scriptures doesn't go against Science but goes hand in hand with Science but the anchor didn't gave him enough time to make his point clear in details ...
    Vedas is full of science Astronomy , Cosmology , Biology , Quantum Physics , Quantum Mechanics , Medicine , Yoga , Meditation ....
    Scientific atheists need to go through Vedas , Srimad Bhagawatam , Puranas to know & learn about Vedic literatures in details ...I am sure they won't find it illogical like Quran & Bible
    The Dashaavatars of Lord Maha Vishnu fits with the human evolution theory .....It has description about milky way , our universe & multiverse theory of innumerable universes .
    We have our temple of 9 planets with Sun at the centre known as Navagraha from 1000 BC unlike the Christian theory of Sun & Planets revolving around Earth for which Galileo Galilei was punished death sentence by Church
    The 3rd Vishnu avatar Varaha or the giant boar had saved the earth from get sunk in the galaxy & he hold the earth on his giant tusks ...Which explains very clearly that Earth is spherical as per Vedic Scriptures unlike the Christian or the Islamic theories of flat earth

      Y did this channel anchor invite to their show our Hari Krishna Das poojari ,when they are not interested to listen n hear about our Hindu sanatani.
      All christian n Islam people where chit chatting n not believing that there is no God.

      @fibo12358 7 років тому

      1-it's so refreshing that ur not belligerent and spewing vitriol. sorry for the inverted compliment, but cannot assume someone who does not believe will not behave as such. 8}. 2-you ask an EXCELLENT question!!! one that MANY ask - even us believers [yes, "there's a little atheism in everyone"]. 3-BRIEF: the simple answer is - for me, to inherit eternal life and explore this wonderful Universe. DETAIL: we all live in "neutral ground"; that is, we all have the same evidence, or lack thereof. this is our common starting point. this is also why i have concluded at this time, with only - oh, 30 years or so, collectively, of directly or indirectly pondering this same question, that "will, and desire are the bridge to any possible hope of eternal life." the catch is that we must activate our will towards believing. some say God activates our will, but truth is we wouldn't really know the difference. for all intents and purposes we simply need to start believing. the point of believing is that if one cannot truly prove that there is no God, then it is possible there is a God. then you go from there. why seek to find out if there is a God? there must be a goal in mind. my goal is pretty self-seeking. when i was a "wee lad of 34" i "cleared the table" and started over. i asked myself - "do i want to crawl out of my grave [or whatever happens] and live forever?" my answer was "yes". question 2 was, "who can help me do that?" trying to not be biased towards Christianity, still from what i knew, Jesus was the answer. i went from there. i am human and sin like everyone else, but as the song says, "i get knocked down, i get up again, nothing's gonna keep me down". so in short, my answer to your question is, "for eternal life." there is no need for rubbish religious practices, but embracing what Christ says is critical. do not conflate religion - especially the horrors of ridiculous religiosity, with who Christ really is. get a bible, read it with interest, get with Christians and ask them what's in their heart, and to help you learn what to read and how to read it. the gospel of John is a great book to start reading. get a version like American Standard Version[ASV], or even the New International Version [NIV]. 4-the whole of proving God is difficult, because the whole of everything emanates from God. God is the singularity of Infinite Regress, who can prove that with tools of science that emanate from point 0?

    • @fibo12358
      @fibo12358 7 років тому

      to seek the Living God, designer of all that is, and in whose power is eternity. to know the one who created all. if that does not intrigue you, or if you cannot imagine something metaphysical existing like the Infinite Regress creator, then there is no point in pursuing it. you have to want to; and you are free to do what you want.

If it is free will, than why do you need the threat of hell. It is like someone holding a gun and saying, if you turn right you will live the best life ever, but if you turn left I will put a bullet in your head. That is not true free will. The Bible is an awesome work of fiction. It’s purpose has suited our leaders well. What better way to control people, than create the fear of hell.

      It surprises me how people who use science to justify their non-religious beliefs are ignorant of a basic understanding of the science. Have you not heard of multiple personality disorder also called Dissociative Identity Disorder? That is the concept of demons, other spirits inhabiting a person with distinct personalities and manifesting through that person. While in Engineering School I encountered such a person. A perfect stranger who started describing to me people that I knew and things I had done in my life. And at one point, the spirit in the person referred to himself as "we" saying "we are leaving him alone, we are going to someone else." This happened when I called upon the name of Jesus Christ. Now in the Bible, it is described how one person was possessed by thousands of demons. So the fact that the medical profession knows about this fact of multiple personalities which is quite prevalent and uses a scientific term such as "disorder" is an indication of the evidence that demons do exist.
      I also had a friend who started hearing voices that were telling him that he was spiritually lost. He would close his eyes and be guided without hitting any objects. And while I was conversing with him the voices were replying to him. Or what about occasions in which I told a coworker precisely what he did and was planning to do as a result of an immediate download of knowledge I received? I have many more examples. What about near-death experiences in which tens of thousands of patients die during the operating procedure and their souls leave their bodies and many are able to describe in great detail a visual view of the actions in the operating room? But it does not end there. Two neurosurgeons who did not believe in God gave up on a patient who was bleeding profusely and expecting death as nothing they did could stop the rapid flow of blood. Then all of a sudden an amazing presence entered the operating room visibly surrounding the surgeons and an amazing peace and all of a sudden the blood stopped flowing. After the incidence one of them said that God does exist as he was visibly shaken by the experience. What about a person whose spirit rose above the hospital building and they saw a locked shed with its contents and vivid colors. After it as immediately investigated it was exactly as described. There are many such accounts.
      We discard these things when they go contrary to our belief system. Or do you want me to get into the story of how the Big Bang Theory in Astrophysics is now being undermined by the discovery of dark energy and dark matter? Scientists had believed (yes, faith again) that the expanding universe from the Big Bang would slow down from its rate of expansion (based upon Newton's Law of Gravitation) and eventually stop its expansion and start collapsing on itself. But in reality, recent observations (in the early 1980s) proved that the expansion is accelerating. The fact is that science is a work in progress and many theories are just plain wrong. Another example of that is Natural Selection which is part of the Theory of Evolution. It makes absolutely no sense that a natural unguided process can design the human body with its amazing complexity and machinery which is orders of magnitude more sophisticated than the most advanced technologies ever devised by man. And how do the Biologists support their bogus theory? Just throw in billions of years. By the time many of these children leave high school, they have already been indoctrinated into believing this theory. How do they sell this fraud? By indoctrinating children from a very young age. But worst yet, anyone who goes against it is ostracized from the scientific community by the gatekeepers. As they say, no one is allowed to rock the boat. What does the phrase mean, "To do or say something that might endanger a stable situation or upset the status quo."
      As regards to your statement on atheism, it is a religion whose primary objective is to challenge the existence of God. And yes, those demons you speak about would be happy that they have quite a large following. An objective scientific observer who has not had a personal experiential encounter with God would be at the most, an agnostic though common sense informs us that it is impossible for a human being to have come about through any means other than being created. But to profess atheism is to undermine science as nothing in science supports such a belief system. A theory that cannot be tested, proved, or disproved should not be regarded as a scientific theory in the first place. At best, Natural Selection and evolution as it relates to our Origin should be described as a belief or what some would call faith.
      Since I did not have a religious upbringing, by the time I entered Engineering School, I acknowledged to myself that I did not know whether God existed or not. Now I not only believe in the existence of God, I know that God exists! You need to spend some time at the library and read the accumulated knowledge in Biology on the human body, DNA, genes, cells, nervous system, eyes, brain, viruses, and so on. And before you go about promulgating your views on religion, you should take the time to read the Bible, the Gospel of John (King James Version - just do an online search) about the life of Jesus Christ. This version of the Bible was translated by top scholars in England. But if you spend your time reading the views and opinions of those that do not believe in God as opposed to examining the Bible for yourself, then that would be a total disregard of the scientific method or process. If you read the Bible, then God is obligated to encounter you and reveal himself to you. So stop doubting and see for yourself ;-)

      So many people, so sure that THEY have reason, that THEY aren't ignorant.
      Those who support evolutionism and/or atheism too often try to paint a stereotype of creationists as being low I.Q. science illiterates. Such people are smugly sure that THEY ain't religious. (Like me in the past when I called myself an atheist.) But they are. Profoundly so. Why? Because they have great...faith...in what is never seen and is even what is impossible. Yet they flatter themselves that they are way smart, and all about science, while feeling sure that creationists have nothing but an Imaginary Friend.
      .
      Let's look at just a few of the imaginary friends and myths from evolutionism and atheism.
      .
      First there is the belief in the imaginary time fairy friend. Evolutionists promote the idea that life can come from inorganic matter. (And don't say they do not. It's easily found all over Google and on YT. Who came up with the mythical primal pond theory? Creationists?) When it is pointed out that life only comes from life and life of the same kind they respond "Well, with enough tiiiiime, anything can happen. We have...faith...therefore, that things happened differently in the conveniently unverifiable past."
      .
      They have faith, too, in their imaginary crystal ball friend that sees into that unverifiable past. For ex. they will pick up a fossil from a rock and tell you what happened to its invisible and evidenceless descendants for over 100 million Darwin years. They also talk about "missing" links, more of their imaginary friends. Don't bother to ask how you tell missing links from never existed links. They have...faith...that they are just "missing."
      .
      Next we see the imaginary Geologic Column friend that "supports" evolution. The real evidence shows the fossils are jumbled. There really are no such things as Jurassic, Triassic etc. periods. Giant shark fossils are found with dino fossils in Montana, for ex. Whales' fossils are found in wildly improbable places like the Andes mountains, the Sahara and a desert in Chili. Deep sea "Cambrian" fossils are found at every level on the planet, including on most mountain tops, as with the world's highest, the Himalayans.
      .
      Take a look. www.bing.com/images/search?q=trilobites+on+mountain+tops&qpvt=trilobites+on+mountain+tops&qpvt=trilobites+on+mountain+tops&qpvt=trilobites+on+mountain+tops&FORM=IGRE . Those are the fossils of extinct, ocean bottom dwelling, trilobites. They, and other marine fossils found with them, are often in stunningly well preserved, and beautifully detailed, condition. We are told "plate tectonics" moved those deep sea creatures, for a millions of years trek, all over the world, in unbroken, vast sheets of concrete in the billions onto the world's mountain heights in such great shape. That's fine.... If you don't believe in erosion and admit you believe in miracles!
      .
      "Cambrian" fossils, like those trilobites, are found in the hills of mid America and countless other places on the planet, high and far, inland. Now why do we see evidence of sea life all over the planet at every level? And, how did all that sea water get everywhere? 90% of fossils on land are marine, too. Hmmmm....
      .
      Next, there is the imaginary family changing fairy friend. Put a species of any genus of fish, bird, lizard, tree, bacteria, whatever, under your Darwinian pillow. Voila! Over an evolutionary "night" it will change into the next step up in the Animal or Plant Kingdom, i.e. a different family. However, in the real world of trillions of life forms, and throughout recorded history, eagles stay eagles, bullfrogs stay bullfrogs, tulips stay tulips, eboli bacteria stay eboli bacteria, chimps stay chimps, fish stay fish, and of course people stay people, no matter how much they change.
      .
      We never, ever, see any evidence of a life form transitioning from one family to another. Since all the evidence shows that never happens all around us with life forms, you just have to have... faith ... that it somehow happened differently in the unverifiable realm of the ancient and conveniently invisible past. With no evidence of any family transitioning to be another kind of family, there is no evidence for evolution. (Not to mention never seeing any transitions from any order, class, phylum or Kingdom.) It's just that simple.
      .
      Then there is the supremely imaginary god-friend of nothingness. Richard Dawkins and others tell us that everything came from nothing. This defies unniversal experience and common sense, not to mention the laws of thermodynamics and physics. But their imaginary friend, the nothingness god, sells big time to those who want to believe they can be their own, puny, little gods.
      .
      Are you willing to take a serious and open minded look outside the box? If nothing else you can hear what the creationists are really saying, not the spin about what they are saying. . On this webpage you can see Nobel Prize winning scientists, other secular scientists - including some world famous evolutionists - admitting there is no evidence for evolution. You can see them calling evolution a kind of religion, something that leads to "anti knowledge", etc. Notice how many of these secular scientists acknowledge evidence for a Creator. freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1435562/posts .
      .
      Are you aware that more and more blood cells, blood vessels and soft stretchy materials are being found in dino bones? Forensic science and common sense tell us such things could not last for more than a few thousand years. Go to Genesispark to see ancient art depictions of dinos from around the world. My fave is the stegosaurus carved on a 1,000 year old Cambodian temple. That site has lots of info on soft tissues and blood cells being found in dino bones, and historical reports of dino type creatures, including some from the famous historian Herodotus and from Alexander the Great. All information is gleaned from secular sources. www.genesispark.com/exhibits/evidence/historical/ancient/dinosaur/ .
      .
      See Don Patton's The Fossil Record and many others. In this link he uses the fossil record to place evolutionary and creation predictions side by side. You can see for yourself what the real record of the rocks shows: ua-cam.com/video/gSof6z_Noqs/v-deo.html .
      .
      Thomas Kindell's vids are great, especially Thermodynamic Evidence For Creation where in the first 10 min. you hear quotes from well known evolutionists like "Evolution is unproven and unprovable.

      .Physicist Dr. Russell Humphreys gives scientific evidences for why people believe in a young, yes young, earth. Check it out and see: ua-cam.com/video/tX9eDTNfQHY/v-deo.html Part 1 And regarding the speed of light "problem", there are many unproven assumptions about light. It was always assumed, for instance, that the speed of light was constant. Since last century, various secular scientists have been saying it seems to be slowing down. However, here is another perspective. We have found that space, as in outer space, is stretchy. Several times in the Bible we are told that the Almighty stretched out the Heavens. This would mean the light from stars got stretched out, too, thus creating a false impression of distant time for light travel.

      Enjoy this truth, better than evolutionary fake news. Basilio Uchuya whom evolutionists passionately want to believe carved dinosaurs, surgical operations and other animals upon andesite river rocks and sold them to tourists in order to make a living did in fact copy from the original authentic stones of antiquity. He would not sell genuine stones to tourists because this would carry a long jail sentence if caught, for he had his wife and family to support. He got the idea of carving for a means of making money from the original ICA stones from seeing them. He was part of the huaqueros’ or tomb looters who operated in the desert. The fake and genuine artifact is easily distinguished under microscope. Basilio used a hacksaw blade to carve on andesite stones which left metal fragments in the grooves and scratches around the edges, not like the original sophisticated carving done by the indigenous Indians one thousand to two thousand years ago. The evidence continues to stack up and evolutionary scientists see the artifacts as hazardous to their evolutionary belief system. Paleontologists’ have suggested out of desperation that the artifacts were the product of drug-induced mind-altered states. This is typical of these evolutionary fanatics not able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
      In the spring of 2001 Basilio took Dr Dennis Swift to the tombs outside Ocucaje where Luz Pre-Incan tombs were located. On the journey they crossed a wooden rickery bridge over a small meandering stream. As Dr Dennis Swift glanced out there were thousands of gray round andesite stones along the stream. He suddenly thought that is why archaeologists have not found engraved stones at other sites because there was no andesite river rock. They eventually stopped and climbed 50 meters up the hillside to the “tombas” tombs where there were hundreds of looted tombs. As they made their way around the looted tombs they saw a gray andesite stone partially sticking out. Basilio went over and dug around the stone and lifted it out. We photographed the stone in “situ” with Basilio holding it up. It was elaborately carved but not by Basilio. Finding carved stones in the walls of tombs of dinosaurs and other depicts is enough said in relation to their antiquity. Basilio also looked for trinkets in the looted tombs.
      Dr Dennis Swift roughly estimated that there were more than two thousand unexcavated tombs in the Tiahuanacan and ICA cemetery dating from about 100 B.C. TO 1500 A.D. He noted there was an abundance of gray andesite river rock surrounding this ancient cemetery. The Ica and Tiahuanacan Indian ruins were built nearby next to the stream that is the source of life in the desert.
      On return to Nazca Dr, Swift met up with some huaqueros who he had previous known. They informed him of some recent discoveries at a Nazcan cemetery near ancient irrigation canals. In April 2001 farmers had been expanding their cotton fields and by chance made a discovery of a tomb with a barbocoa roof which collapsed revealing a corpse staring back at them. The mummy had tilted to one side resting its cranium on an engraved stone as a pillow through eons of its burial. This was identified as a Nazcan tomb. The stone had small amounts of hair and scalp tissue clinging to the surface. Samples were taken along with the blood on the stone which was engraved with a dinosaur; these were sent to Paragon Genetics Laboratory in Dallas Texas. The laboratory was unable to get a DNA sequence from the hair blood and tissue which further enhances the antiquity of the dinosaur stone. Fresh blood, hair and tissue would have yielded a DNA sequence. The burial shroud wrapped around the mummy was examined by Intermountain Forensic Laboratories in Portland Oregon. The tests were inconclusive but this is common place for objects hundreds or thousands of years old.
      Forensic scientist Ray Grimsvo testified: In my expert opinion of over twenty-five years of forensic investigations, criminal, archaeological, paleontological, having seen thousands of blood stains, there is no question in my mind. I will go on record those are blood stains on the stone and burial shroud and are undoubtedly of ancient origin. End of quote.
      Conclusion: Dinosaurs and humans were contemporary with each other.

      What if God were an electrical/magnetic energy field vibrational being? Like we are?
      And the physicist Barbara Brennan confirms this in her book "Hands of Light"?
      I received this email recently from the site called "Ask a Mathematician, Ask a Physicist":
      What are "actual pictures" of atoms actually pictures of?.
      Physicist:
      Actual pictures of atoms aren’t actually pictures at all.
      There are a few good rules of thumb in physics. Among the best is:
      light acts like you’d expect on scales well above its wavelength and
      acts weird on scales below. In order to take a picture of a thing you
      need light to bounce …
      The only thing physicists have actually seen is basically a computer
      image, not the real image, and second, they observe electric fields,
      not the particle itself. They do not observe particles themselves;
      they are able to observe only the field. However this alone does not
      prove anything, but that the electric energy field exists and that’s
      about it---no atoms, no photons, no electrons, no quarks. no nothing.
      So no, particles do not exist. Particles exist only inside
      mathematical abstractions and nothing more and nothing else. We don’t
      know what actually exists in the real world, except that there are
      energy fields---electric, magnetic and all other forms and all other
      kinds of energy fields.
      I forgot to add what exactly is visualized with all these microscopes
      including STM--the scanning tunneling microscope. What is visualized
      is the charge density of the electric field.
      Basically you observe vibrations---electric vibrations.
      You haven’t seen an atom either. You’ve seen an image you assume to be
      an atom, but it is simply an instrument’s representation of the atom.
      It is not the atom itself.
      These techniques aren’t actually “visual” like microscopes we work
      with in biology classes. Microscopes use lenses and light to help zoom
      and focus on small objects. Electron microscopes, on the other hand,
      use quantum scattering theory to construct the shape of small objects,
      then the data is transferred to a computer to create a model. The
      wavelengths of visible light ranges on the order of ~370nm to 750nm.
      These are all MUCH larger than many particles of interest (and way too
      large to view atoms, which are on the order of Angstroms-0.1nm).
      Scientists need to be creative to be able to “see” atoms.
      So, no, scanning tunneling microscopes and atomic force microscopes
      did not prove the existence of atoms.

In a thousand years different people will recall Hurricane Katrina in different ways, and some may claim it was the hand of god and it wiped out all of the USA. Literature is written and twisted to fit the author's goal, if the goal is to create fear some unseen force in order to control people, the natural disaster becomes a supernatural phenomenon. Ask any fisherman the tale of his biggest catch, and ask him again in a few years, that bass will have grown into a whale if asked often enough, and eventually the whale swallowed him and spat him out....

      @lusti6511 3 роки тому

      @A Christian Scientist "I have debated Dillahunty and his cultists" sounds a bit like ad hominem to me. I say nothing about God doesn't exists, God just needs to make clear he does exists. Until now this evidence is still missing.

    • @lusti6511
      @lusti6511 3 роки тому

      @A Christian Scientist Well it has nothing to do with "admitting". Until evidence is provided, everything is regarded as "non-existent". But i'm not an afairist or an a-second-sunist because no evidence is provided for fairies or a second sun in our solar system. Something not existing is the starting point. You can't disproof anything directly, that's simply impossible.
      But i'm pretty sure, that the God shown in the Bible will have some problems with existence. Or to make it clearer: He cannot have the attributes given to him (like mercyfull or loving) while his actions are clearly considered as evil, by most human moral standards. So to make an argument: I cannot disproof every God, and i cannot disproof the God of Abraham, but the records shows even if he exists, he wouldn't be the loving as everyone who believes in him want's him to see.
      By the way: You should know what ad hominem means, and insulting is one method used by it. It basically goes with the try, to not argue the point but rather attack the messenger. Insulting is one kind of this method.

Most religious teaching is incredibly practical, and it is religion, not science, that serves as a better foundation for morality than secular and/or individual moral trends from one time to another.

      I think you've created a false dichotomy, it does not follow that the only two options are 'nothing created the universe' and 'god did it'.
      Also, I think you are misrepresenting the position of many Cosmologists. By the term 'nothing' they are referring to the absence of matter. We actually have never found a 'nothing' to examine and so we do not even know whether a 'nothing' is within the realms of possibility, beyond the mathematical concept of nothing i.e 0.
      What they do know is that the laws of physics break down seconds before the big bang, and so it is not reasonable to assume that something can not come from nothing under conditions where the laws of physics do not apply.

      What if God were an electrical/magnetic energy field vibrational being? Like we are?
      And the physicist Barbara Brennan conforms this in her book "Hands of Light"?
      I received this email recently from the site called "Ask a Mathematician, Ask a Physicist":
      What are "actual pictures" of atoms actually pictures of?.
      Physicist:
      Actual pictures of atoms aren’t actually pictures at all.
      There are a few good rules of thumb in physics. Among the best is:
      light acts like you’d expect on scales well above its wavelength and
      acts weird on scales below. In order to take a picture of a thing you
      need light to bounce …
      The only thing physicists have actually seen is basically a computer
      image, not the real image, and second, they observe electric fields,
      not the particle itself. They do not observe particles themselves;
      they are able to observe only the field. However this alone does not
      prove anything, but that the electric energy field exists and that’s
      about it---no atoms, no photons, no electrons, no quarks. no nothing.
      So no, particles do not exist. Particles exist only inside
      mathematical abstractions and nothing more and nothing else. We don’t
      know what actually exists in the real world, except that there are
      energy fields---electric, magnetic and all other forms and all other
      kinds of energy fields.
      I forgot to add what exactly is visualized with all these microscopes
      including STM--the scanning tunneling microscope. What is visualized
      is the charge density of the electric field.
      Basically you observe vibrations---electric vibrations.
      You haven’t seen an atom either. You’ve seen an image you assume to be
      an atom, but it is simply an instrument’s representation of the atom.
      It is not the atom itself.
      These techniques aren’t actually “visual” like microscopes we work
      with in biology classes. Microscopes use lenses and light to help zoom
      and focus on small objects. Electron microscopes, on the other hand,
      use quantum scattering theory to construct the shape of small objects,
      then the data is transferred to a computer to create a model. The
      wavelengths of visible light ranges on the order of ~370nm to 750nm.
      These are all MUCH larger than many particles of interest (and way too
      large to view atoms, which are on the order of Angstroms-0.1nm).
      Scientists need to be creative to be able to “see” atoms.
      So, no, scanning tunneling microscopes and atomic force microscopes
      did not prove the existence of atoms.

      Actually, Kent Ham (bible con artist) inadvertently proved the story bullshit. According to the Bible, Noah and his sons built the ark in 60 years. Now, Kent did build an ark. It took him 1000 expert carpenters, modern power tools, pre-fabricated beams and planks, power cranes and trucks and two years to build something that might resemble an Ark but is most likely not seaworthy. He wanted to put live animals in, only to notice that even with modern ventilation and machinery this would make not only a miserable but a suffocating experience.
      Now, try to explain how 8 people could complete in 60 years with bronze age equipment what obviously and demonstrably took 2000 man years with modern power tools and pre-fab materials. And if "God" is your answer, I have to ask why he didn't simply build the fucking boat himself instead of making Noah go through the busywork.

    This debate is pointless. If you are a religious person you have BELIEF. It does not matter to the person whether those beliefs confine to logic or reason. As an atheist and cynical and sceptical person in general, I need to have empirical evidence to back up material claims.
    The amount of logical fallacies used by the religious side was staggering. That's the problem with this debate. God as a concept is an illogical one when comparing it to what one already knows about the physical world. Yet people are trying to use logic to try and advance an illogical concept. Just be honest and say you have faith.

      What if God were an electrical/magnetic energy field vibrational being? Like we are?
      And the physicist Barbara Brennan conforms this in her book "Hands of Light"?
      I received this email recently from the site called "Ask a Mathematician, Ask a Physicist":
      What are "actual pictures" of atoms actually pictures of?.
      Physicist:
      Actual pictures of atoms aren’t actually pictures at all.
      There are a few good rules of thumb in physics. Among the best is:
      light acts like you’d expect on scales well above its wavelength and
      acts weird on scales below. In order to take a picture of a thing you
      need light to bounce …
      The only thing physicists have actually seen is basically a computer
      image, not the real image, and second, they observe electric fields,
      not the particle itself. They do not observe particles themselves;
      they are able to observe only the field. However this alone does not
      prove anything, but that the electric energy field exists and that’s
      about it---no atoms, no photons, no electrons, no quarks. no nothing.
      So no, particles do not exist. Particles exist only inside
      mathematical abstractions and nothing more and nothing else. We don’t
      know what actually exists in the real world, except that there are
      energy fields---electric, magnetic and all other forms and all other
      kinds of energy fields.
      I forgot to add what exactly is visualized with all these microscopes
      including STM--the scanning tunneling microscope. What is visualized
      is the charge density of the electric field.
      Basically you observe vibrations---electric vibrations.
      You haven’t seen an atom either. You’ve seen an image you assume to be
      an atom, but it is simply an instrument’s representation of the atom.
      It is not the atom itself.
      These techniques aren’t actually “visual” like microscopes we work
      with in biology classes. Microscopes use lenses and light to help zoom
      and focus on small objects. Electron microscopes, on the other hand,
      use quantum scattering theory to construct the shape of small objects,
      then the data is transferred to a computer to create a model. The
      wavelengths of visible light ranges on the order of ~370nm to 750nm.
      These are all MUCH larger than many particles of interest (and way too
      large to view atoms, which are on the order of Angstroms-0.1nm).
      Scientists need to be creative to be able to “see” atoms.
      So, no, scanning tunneling microscopes and atomic force microscopes
      did not prove the existence of atoms.

      Ignorance is believing that a God created the Universe. And then believing that this God that created this vast Universe came to a random planet , in a random Galaxy and told humans to not eat shrimps, or not eat pigs, or not eat cows (depending on which book/god you happened to chose), but forgetting to tell them that the Earth is not flat and that it goes around the Sun , not the other way around.
      Ignorance is believing that the god that created the universe is really concerned with whom you have sex and when, but doesn't even mention why he created billions of other galaxys, stars and planets.

      We actually are special. We have the capability of imagination, we are curious. We have the intelligence and ability to understand the universe, to a certain degree but nonetheless. We are the product of a journey that started 13.8 billion years ago. Of circumstances who allow raw energy do condence into matter. Of stars fusing this matter into other kind of matter. The gold in my computer is the product of one of the most violent and yet beautiful events in the cosmos: A supernova. A dying star spitting it's remains through vaste amounts of nothingness, so new stars, planets and trabants can be born. In a vast ocean of galaxies there is a georgeous spiral galaxy, and in one of it's spiral arms there is a small star, surrounded by a tiny piece of stone and dust we call Earth.
      On this small fraction of space, there is a small ape-like race running around. Mankind. People. You and me. Your left hand is made of the matter of one star, your right hand is made of the matter from another one. You are stardust. The elements you are made of will stand the test of time, in one form or another. And still, here we are, living our ridiculous short lifes compared to the almost infinite time the cosmos has to offer.
      What is the meaning of your life, what is your purpose? Maybe there is none, maybe you are here just because, and to give yourself meaning and purpose. If you love nature, you have to love humans, because we are nature by any strech of imagination. Maybe we don't behave like this, but the fact still remains unchallenged. So go one you little great ape, enjoy your life, enjoy it to the fullest. And when the end is near be assured: You may die and you will go the same nothingness you came from. But you were here as a monument to this universe who has gained another capability: To understand itself through you.
