Why do people try so hard to argue that there is no God it is ridiculous?

Question

There is so much proof look all arund you. You really think a big blast of planets (impossible they had to come from some where they dont just appear) made this beautiful world? And come on you really think that we came from monkeys?? Hello? I personally take that very offensive. God and His son Jesus Christ are real. If you still dont think so please tell me WHY!!!???

I am not trying to argue and you scripture in John is right but God said in the bible be angry and sin not and to be angry at the things He would be angry at that is why it frustrates me but it makes me sad the most part that people make fun of and blaspheme my God it hurts and I know it hurts Him.

Answer 1

You have shown nothing to give evidence of your beliefs. On the other hand there are mounds of evidence that support evolution and a non-static universe. Think with your head, not your heart.

Answer 2

You assume that what is had to come from somewhere, as if the universe were some passing train. It could as easily be without beginning or end, though the physicists of the early 20th century, having grown up in a Christian culture, interpreted the Hubble Red Shift as implying a beginning.

Evolution is one of the most thoroughly established theories of science, right after quantum electrodynamics. To say "we came from monkeys" instead of "we and monkeys have common ancestors" shows how little you've bothered to understand the theory. Deliberate ignorance of that sort almost proves monkey ancestry all by itself, don't you think?

If you take personal offense at the beliefs of others, don't be too surprised if they take offense at yours. But that kind of ignores Matthew 5:45, don't you think? God makes the sun shine and the rain fall on good and bad alike, and Jesus tells you your love of others should be equally open and generous. Those you love you take the time to understand.

The anger behind what you write is the same kind of self-righteousness that drives the Muslim fanatics. Whether a person blows up abortion clinics in the US or school buses in Iraq, it's the actions that count, not the excuses, and if the excuses speak of Jesus or Allah, that just gives them a bad name.

Beyond all the pages of books and millions of shouted words, only kindness matters.

Answer 3

I'm not interested in trying to argue there is no God. So long as people aren't holding science back or trying to impose their beliefs I firmly support the freedom to believe what you wish. I think you however, have the burden of proof when it comes to God. To me it is a much more irrational concept. I think from your statements that you must not have studied much astronomy, physics, or science in general because we have very good, rational explanations for where planets came from and for the things we see in the world. Yes, I believe we evolved from a common ancestor with monkeys (different from saying we evolved FROM monkeys please note) and that I'm sorry you find that offensive but it doesn't alter reality. Take an honest look at all the evidence. I don't believe that the Bible is a literal document because I have studied a variety of Biblical scholars and I don't accept divine revelation as something I can accept uncritically. I'm sure the cool aid drinkers who followed Jim Jones believed he was in direct contact with God as well. As for your description of the world as beautiful I agree. There are however also ugly and brutal aspects; diseases that cause much suffering, predators that kill in horrible ways, natural disasters, etc.... Are these created by your God as well? Or are they Satan's work or the result of man's folly? Our rational explanations make far more sense to me. Yours sound medieval to me. Sorry. Peace, follow your own path but stop judging others and trying to force your thought process on them.

Answer 4

Likewise, I take offense when people say Jesus is G-d. There is no G-d but G-d. He is not a trinity. He is One.

Stop and think about it--------would G-d REALLY come to earth in human form-------for any reason. Each man must atone for his sins, on his own.

And, the ''big bang'' and evolution are just the process by which G-d may have created the earth and life. One of G-d's days could have been a billion years-who are we to judge? Were you there? Does it matter how the world and life were made? G-d did it-isn't that enough to know?

Answer 5

Do you really want to know why people do not believe in god? It is very simple.

There is no evidence that god exists. None.

People used to use religion to explain scientific phenomenon. Now we have the scientific answers to many of our questions: It is not Thor nor Zeus who cause the mighty thunder, it is an exchange of charged ions. Maybe a tad less romantic, perhaps but it has the advantage of being the truth and scientifically testable. "God did it" is neither true nor testable.

The DNA evidence that humans and apes came from a common evolutionary chain is overwhelming. I find it more comforting to believe that I am part of the web of all living things than that I was made out of mud -- excuse me, being a woman I was only made out of the *rib* of someone who was made out of dirt.

Answer 6

as long as there is some who says there is god, there will be another person who says there is no god. both are arguing for the sake of thier faiths. other wise there is no problem.

you are arguing here on the basis of jesus and god. when you make a statement like that there is another person who has an exact opposite which to him appears as truth. also it is a certain truth that half the humanity will not agree with your faith. you can test this yourself. and you will be surprised that it is the truth. that does not mean you are wrong. or that does not mean your opponent is also wrong. both are correct from thier respective point of views.

also truth depends on the background you came from. your religious, ethnic, language, country and socio-cultural backgrounds. there is no definite answers as long as you hold on to your views as ultimate truth. snakes poison can kill, but it can also give life. except religious fanatics everybody understands this. these are simple truths. open your heart, you have lot to learn from other faiths. holding on to your faith as the ultimate truth is the reason today there is so much tension in this world.

Answer 7

Because nothing you've said is proof. There are perfectly naturalistic explanations for everything you've mentioned, none of which require a god, let alone a savior.

Further, there is plenty of proof that there are in fact no gods:

For knowledge to exist, three facts must be accepted as true:

- Math & Logic are valid
- Direct observations or aided observations supported by Math & Logic are valid
- Supernatural existence, if real, does not involve itself in the natural realm (otherwise, any 'fact' could be changed by the interference -- say by the God of Gravity changing his mind on how strong it will be tomorrow).

Free will can thus be shown to be false:

- The mind is a consequence of the physical nature of the brain (Nonsupernatural causation axiom).
- Quantum physics contains a truly random component (Mathematical axiom)
- All observations can be expressed mathematically (Mathematical axiom).
- All principles causal to observations can be expressed mathematically (Mathematical Axiom).
- All mathematical expressions can be evaluated (Mathematical Axiom).
- An evaluation need not be deterministic, it can be stochaistic, that is, describing 'probabilities'. (Statistical mathematics).
- Since quantum physics can affect the human brain, and thus mind, the human state is mathematically stochaistic (consequential)
- If the quantum randomness is rescoped to be viewed as an input, the human brain ceases to be stoichasitic and is deterministic. (statement of rescope)
- A deterministically computable system is incapable of escaping its previous states, and produces outputs based on a computable result of the previous state and current inputs.(Turing-Church Thesis)
- Determinism counters free will. (By definition)
- Free will is not possible. (consequential)
- If a deity exists, free will is a natural consequence. (axiomic, potentially debatable. However, a deity that creates intelligence without free will cannot hold its creation responsible)
- Free will does not exist, therefore, deity does not exist. (modus tollens).

The idea of a god existing is disproven logically.

Answer 8

The short answer is that to them, it's not ridiculous. People come from different perspectives and have different sorts of mental gifts and faults.

Another short answer is that evolutionary science does *not* argue that "we came from monkeys." Rather, we are *related* to monkeys. We come from a common ancestor. We have very similar DNA.

Don't come in yelling, with your mind already made up. Let people tell you their truths, and they just might do the same for you.

Answer 9

The universe was created by nature. It happens. It has been happening for a very long time and will keep happening for a very long time. Nature will keep happening without interference or guidance by any omnipotent, omniscient being and has been doing so since forever.

Why do you try so hard to argue that there is a God?

We argue that there is no God because you argue that there is a God. It’s vicious argue circle. You argue what you believe and we argue what we believe. Works both ways.

Answer 10

I personally don't believe in religion at all, but, I don't put down those who do, that is their personal choice to believe in that. Nothing in the bible seems realistic to me. And yes I do believe in evolution the proof is there, but, some need to open their minds and their eyes to actually see it. I don't know what made the world and this is a question that will never be answered.All of us have to right to believe what we want

Answer 11

So God said Poof and here we are huh? Do you beleive in Dinosaurs, Is the earth really flat? Evolution is the real deal. The most intelligent people ever, were not God beleivers. Darwin, Einstein, George Washington, DaVinci, Thomas Jefferson. Without these great minds, where would we be. In a church I suppose.....
