To Athies........ since you don't believe......?

Question

Why do you believe what you believe in?

Then why asking ques?

Why do you ans?

Do you still have doubts?

If you believe in science... then why do you believe its true?
You are not there when the evidence is proven. You didn't see it then why should you believe it?

Answer 1

Okay, here goes...
I do not believe. I think. Or at least try to.
Because curiosity is in the nature of a man and all creatures slightly above a trilobite.
Yes, i doubt very much that politicians do not always speak the truth.
Science has proved itself to be credible even when results were not what were expected. Also, there are many ways to test scientific theories by yourself without great expense. In religion nothing has been proved at all, it can all be reasoned with behavioristics and social pressure. There has never been one single shred of evidence of any god-like interference, ever. In reality, bible is a man-written collection and as such can not be considered as evidence. So, science can be evidenced at least to some point and religion not at all. It is the lesser of two "weewils"... ;-)

Answer 2

1. I believe in those things for which I have sufficient evidence or reason. Gods are simply not one of those things.

2-3. Asking and answering questions promote education and understanding.

4. I doubt everything. But not everything to the same degree.

5. Science is a method of collecting evidence and making falsifiable predictions based on that evidence, not a belief.

6. I don't need to be at the source of the evidence. The scientific method relies on a system of prediction and retesting. The more a prediction is tested, the more reliable it becomes.

Answer 3

I believe what I believe because honestly some of the statements made in the bible are off of this world. People living 300 + years, men made of dirt, women made from a rib. I rarely ask questions. The reason I answer is to share my opinion. I have the right to express my views. I do not have doubts about my belief or lack of. I believe in science because I can see science work.

Answer 4

I just don't want religion in my life. I know how to conduct myself, I know right from wrong. I care about people and animals nature and the world and I hope I do my part for all these things. I believe in not just myself but all my fellow beings who really are a part of my life.

I'm interested in the views of others on many topics not just religion so that's why I dip into this section from time to time. Also, I do know that science is forever changing so it's difficult to hold too much faith in it.....'cos 10 years down the line...we'll find out what we found out is no longer right.

I believe in a higher consciousness, but I think that is within my own brain kinda like a superego ideas that have been put there by others I respect....but I don't always do what it suggests I do, I like to make my own choices.

Answer 5

I don't believe in anything really except that we live, breath, and die.

I believe in Evolution because you can see proof of that with EVERYDAY LIFE!

I believe in DNA because I have traits of my mom and dad, grandparents, etc.

I believe in science because even though I'm not there to witness the discovery or the experiment, it can be shown or repeated for everyone to see.

I trust the experiments I did in high school, the proof at museums and in science books a lot more that I could ever believe in a dead guy and some ancient book that has been changed and written by a bunch of people I've never seen, met, or even had the remote possibility to talk to.

Answer 6

I question everything, including science. That's one of the reasons I like to be here - because people make me think, and I enjoy that. I believe those things which seem, on the basis of reason and evidence, to be more likely to be true than false. No religious claims fall into that category.

Answer 7

"You are not there when evidence is proven. You didn't see it then why should you believe it?
So you were I guess when the Ark floated above the surface of the earth with two of every animal(impossibility) but clearly according to your concept you were there. And the Crucifixion,when Jesus died on the cross like thousands before him and thousands after,you were there at the Resurrection I gather. If you're going to ask a question and be a condescending *** wouldn't it be better that you not damage your own argument in your question?

Answer 8

That is the point,, we know we don't believe what Christians do,, but acknowledge science has not yet answered all the questions.

The very fact we are free to ask the hard questions is enough.
Christianity does not want you to question,, God's way and eternal gory or eternity in Hell.

No other options.

You see I can ask ANYTHING I want anytime,,,I can change my mind if I wish, I can doubt my faith or throw it away completely,,

The fact is,, I choose my faith or lack there of not someone else.

Answer 9

In as much as I was not around to see how everything came into being (and neither were you),I say, "I don't know ..... YET!" To assume that some god, my less than intellectual ancestors made up, instantaneously farted the universe into being, is absurd. Because people like you are trying to take control of the government so you can use the coercive power of the state to shove your god down my throat, we will engage you. Religion must be marginalized so it will not try to fulfill it's expressed and sought after goal of "Ending the World".

Answer 10

1. well i beleive in what i beleive in because it makes sense. logical sense. practical sense. reasonable sense. unfortunately your religion/god makes no sense.

2. are you implying were not lalowed to ask questions? are you a bigot?

3. doubts about what? my disbeleif? absolutely not.

4. why? see #1. because theyve been proven, because theres corroberating evidence that supports them.

if you can show me "evidence" of the existence of your god id gladly consider it. but dont get all pissy when i come to the conclusion that its B.S.
