You thinks the simple explanation of man who live 70 years and die can really can explain the vast mysteryous of creation. Isn't that a little arrogance?

men cannot explain the world. Just looking around. The world is more complicated than they can imagine.

Using that logic, you are arrogant for supposing there is a god...you religious types crack me up. Do you think you have some sort of direct line to the unknown? A chrisitian doesn't know anymore about god than an atheist, a muslim, a buddhist and on and on and on. At least an atheist has the sense to concentrate on the here and now, they're not pining their life away over some mystical utopia.

Isn't a little arrogant to come off all superior when your grammar is some of the worst I have seen? YES
Look they believe, doubt or don't believe but why do "faithful" like you have to attack them at all times..you theists have been attacking, torturing and killing for thousands of years and have the audacity to come off as the only good people who know what life is really about.
It is the religious of the world that have convinced me beyond all question that the human race needs to become extinct

Actually the arrogance is from those who feel their need to criticize someone else for their beliefs.
I personally believe in God, but that does not mean that everyone sles HAS to believe what I believe. Even God reserves the right to believe or not believe in God to the individual.
We should all respect others enough to let them believe what they believe. After all no two people will ever believe 100% exactly the same thing as another.

Neither Agnostics nor athesists exist they are really just people who believe in God but would rather say they don't so they can do their own thing and not be accountable to God. It's really funny but sad when you think about it they think they can be nonaccountable but they can't because the day will come andGod will pass judgement . The ENd

The fact is people becomed dissolutioned with religion. Every time people turn to religion in times of hurt it fails them because nothing happens that they wanted to happen. They become selfish with their faith and turn cynical. Most of them become movie and tv critics.
As for agnostics, it's the simple fact that it's impossible to know the vast plan. Time is too far reaching for any of us to possibly say "I'm right and you're wrong". There are people who can live to seventy? That's nothing. There are people who can brake glass with their minds. There's no simple explanation for anything that happens on this planet. So they choose to say Yes to Nothing and No to Nothing.

agnostics believe there probably is a god, they just aren't sure how to define it.
I think the religous persons are actually the arrogant ones, saying "we know exactly what god is and what he can do", they limit the powers of god greatly, the world is much more mysterious than most can comprehend.

I think it is more ignorant to turn a blind eye to the scientific data that can prove things for the "mystical" lessons of a Magical man who spoke to god. and science is not the simple explanation of a man whom only lives 70 or so years. it is the compiled works of lifetimes of learning and discovery my mankind's brightest. you use doctors, all the modern technology of today, yet you refuse to accept the science that makes everything we use today as truth.

Maybe, but imagine the arrogance of someone who insists that the whole universe can be explained by the scribblings of priests from ancient subsistence-farming & shepherd desert tribes. THAT is the epitomy of arrogance.

Why couldn't natural forces explain everything? How do we understand the world around us today? - through the laws of science and forces of nature that we observe. Why couldn't it all just happen?
It is not arrogance to simply point out what we observe. We cannot explain everything. We can simply tell what we see.

The foolishness that serves you as a substitute for logic and reason is a logical fallacy (a flaw in thinking) known as the "Argument From Incredulity"... which is a sub-category of the "Argumentum ad Ignorantiam" (Argument From Ignorance). It goes something like this: "I can't conceive of how this might have come to be; therefore, God did it."
That does not point to a limitation of nature... rather, it exemplifies a limitation of knowledge or intellect. Also, it is intellectually dishonest, since it does not ACKNOWLEDGE the limitation of knowledge or intellect... it merely invokes the fanciful idea of a supernatural creator-entity to manifest the ILLUSION that cognitive dissonance has been resolved. It substitutes 'faith' for fact, and 'belief' for knowledge... but neither faith nor belief are sufficient to sustain reason... they are only sufficient to sustain willful ignorance.
That is the epitome of self-delusion.
