and we can't see all words in MRI
Sure, the last 5 are great. The first 5 aren't any help.
we proved about as much as there's to prove, but the maxic out of nowhere new world...#You can't prove there is a god, so what do you expect us to believe?
You can't prove there isn't so it would appear we are in the same boat.
I have never said there was a GOD. I just asked those who stated there is NO GOD to prove it.
#I thought the bible was supposed to be the word of god, why would the writers scientific knowledge be relevant?
Because it was written to be understood by those of that time and understanding. Many things were magical to them.
#Maybe god was testing you, like when he hid the dinosaur bones in the ground?
Maybe GOD is testing you since you cannot prove he doesn't exist.
Maybe that's why there a quarter of a nano second that even science doesn't understand.

It is not in the same boat at all.
The idea of a god existing outside of time, space, life, death and reality but somehow caring about all those and not providing abundant evidence of it despite it being trivial (if that is even a meaningful term for them) is an absolutely absurd idea.
You know what else is an absurd idea. The feather I just picked out of my keyboard will cure cancer (all of them, all the different cancer cells and undo all the damage they cause before then). The onus would be on me to prove it. Nobody needs to waste any time considering it or debunking it as it is so ridiculous. You don't have to give an credence to those that believe in the feather.
I also feel the need to mention again there are millions of documented belief systems and infinite potential ones. Most of those conflict with one another as well. How does one resolve this?
As for the other part. So it is a fallible human book then, not one written by a divine being (and somehow able to be translated), not one that is supposed to be useful for all time to guide our lives and civilisations? OK then let's put it aside and develop something better.
No we aren't in the same boat. You believe god without evidence, we disbelieve in god because there is compelling evidence that there is no god.
Absolute rubbish argument made up by people who believe in god & tell it to other people who believe in god.
God wouldn't say things wrong just because people were stupid, the whole point about the bible is to educate people.
You really think god is that patronising?
No, he's not testing me because there is no god. Prove https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster doesn't exist.
Science has done a pretty good job at explaining a lot, but of course it can't tell you what happened at the start of the universe because nobody was around as we hadn't evolved yet. The description of creation in the bible is just ridiculous, I'm sure you'll argue that god just lied because people were stupid. I wouldn't even want a god who acts like that.
Just because you can imagine absurd ideas in no way proves anything.
But, still, no matter how absurd to you the idea of a GOD in no way is a proof or evidence that a GOD could not be.
So you believe that if the Bible wasn't written with E=MC2 and that makes it rubbish. You obviously don't get that it had to be understandable for those of its time.
Is it scientifically accurate with today's knowledge, no. Doesn't mean it was a lie just means it was written to the understanding of the time.
You keep avoiding any proof with opinionated statements so it remains 'unproven' and thus 'possible'.
Since you cannot tell me what happened in the beginning how can you then state factually that it wasn't a GOD who created the universe. You can't.
But still more likely than GOD existing.
So gods own creation was too fragile to hear that dinosaurs came before adam and eve?
I wonder why he didn't create a more robust human being? Is it like people who go into relationships with those weaker than themselves, so they can control them?
And when your wife finds sexy underwear that isn't hers on the back seat of your car and you try to explain how you're not having an affair, doesn't mean it's not a lie. But on the balance of probability, yes it's a lie.
If god had spent a few minutes to explain a bit of history, rather than waste time telling us how eve was made from adams rib, then we wouldn't be in this mess.
You are being disingenuous. It's as impossible for me to disprove god as you can disprove https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster. Sure you could claim the FSM was made up by Bobby Henderson, but the FSM may have used his noodly appendages to cause Bobby to think he was making it up while he is in fact real. Maybe FSM used satire to reveal himself, because humanity isn't ready to know his true self yet.
My theory is just as possible as yours. You think yours is more correct because loads of people also believe it, but mass delusions are very common. How you feel about GOD existing is a very poor indication of whether he exists.
But it probably wasn't YOUR god. Statistically speaking you are pretty much guaranteed to be worshipping the wrong one. It's only an accident of where you were born that decides which religion you are indoctrinated into.
You are of course sweeping the most important thing under the carpet, god didn't create the universe in the "beginning". The beginning must then be when god was created. If god always existed, then why can't the universe have always existed? Ocums razor tells us that this is most likely.
Except it's not even understandable today. Even the NIV is written in riddles. People study the Bible for years and years, and none of them can agree on what any of it actually means. Any interpretations of the Bible are based on the interpreter's confirmation bias. If you hold a belief, you can probably point to a verse of the bible and say that supports it, because it is often so vague and cryptic, it's easy to do. Your detractors could also point to other verses and say those contradict your belief, or even that your interpretation is incorrect. You would think God would impart some divine knowledge so people would stop messing up his holy word. People's souls could be at stake right?Because it was written to be understood by those of that time and understanding. Many things were magical to them.

So you believe that if the Bible wasn't written with E=MC2 and that makes it rubbish. You obviously don't get that it had to be understandable for those of its time. Your confusing terminology with scientific accuracy. Of course 2000 years ago people didn't understand E=MC2. The description of the beginning is accurate relative to the terminology of the time. Is it scientifically accurate with today's knowledge, no. Doesn't mean it was a lie just means it was written to the understanding of the time.

Gandhi disputably has said something along the lines of, "I love your Christ, but not your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike Christ." While people can argue on whether or not he actually said that, it pretty much sums up my feelings. If you're a Christian and preach your religion, and actually follow those teachings of love and tolerance, I think that's just fine. It's when you start beating people overhead with the Bible that I get mad.
I never said there was a GOD.
I only asked that someone prove factually that there isn't.
Until then the possibility there could be holds true.
Maybe the universe has always existed, doesn't prove either way about a GOD.
Just like you say I have no scientific evidence there is a GOD, you don't have evidence that there isn't.
The only way I can lose is if there is a GOD and I do not believe in him."

Its can be your opinion there is no GOD, But opinions are just that, not facts.
Just like you say I have no scientific evidence there is a GOD, you don't have evidence that there isn't.
As for statistics:
A simple Metrix:
"There may or may not be a GOD:
I may or may not believe in him.
The only way I can lose is if there is a GOD and I do not believe in him."
Pascal

Pascal's wager isn't a proof.
