How many of you are atheists because you need to SEE proof, and cannot rely on faith alone?

Question

How many atheists or doubters out there won't believe in heaven and hell, God and etc, until they SEE some sort of proof and cannot rely on faith

Answer 1

I need to see some sort of compelling evidence that the bible is the truth. I need good reason to believe that its supernatural claims are true.

Answer 2

Maybe they will take this into consideration.

1. On earth oxygen comprises 21% of the atmosphere. If oxygen were 25% fires would erupt spontaneously; if it were 15 percent human beings would suffocate.

2. If the atmosphere were less transparent, not enough solar radiation would reach the eath's surface. If it were more transparent we would be bombarded with far too much solar radiation down here.

3. If the moon-earth gravitational interaction were greater than it currently is, tidal effects on the oceans, atmosphere, and rotational period woudl be too severe. If it were less, orbital changes would cause climatic instabilities. In either event life on earth would be impossible.

4. If the Cabon Dioxide Level were higher than it is now, a runaway greenhouse effect would develop (we'd all burn up). If that level were lower than it is now, plants would not be able to maintain efficient photosynthesis (we'd all suffocate)

5. The gravitational pull coudln't be any different for life to exist here on earth. If the gravitational force were altered by 0.0000000000000000000000000000... percent our sun would not exist, and therefore, neither would we.

There are 122 of these points. There is such an exact precision to the balance of life, it's amazing! This CANNOT have happened (and did not) without God.

Answer 3

the idea of evolution is in holding with medical reality no longer a faith depending perception as there's a lot information to instruct that it occurred. there is no opt to pass decrease back in time to envision as evolution is outfitted up in fossils, bones, preserved animals and the unusual human being frozen or in peat etc. noticeably with cutting-part DNA profiling it may well be proved that we advanced from primitive guy. Animals like Gorillas share a lot of our DNA that we should be appropriate as a species. i'm guessing that you're American as i do no longer have self assurance that any English human being might want to refute evolution inspite of in the adventure that they are non secular. the starting up of the Universe is a reason for much hypothesis as against evolution of the Earth, it really is accessible that the Universe got here out of no longer something. The Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems that could want to describe an uncaused starting up, the article by technique of Quentin Smith facilitates to describe this with the help of quantum mechanics. there's a link to the article on the bottom. because we've a lot more desirable sensible units to degree the universe with lots of the theories, that could want to in the previous in elementary words be proved with maths, were proved precise, Einstein case in point replaced into very precise in his theories on the curvature of time. If introduction by technique of a god replaced into real then the Bible should be particularly faulty as to how old the earth is, maximum cutting-part scientists and many uncomplicated human beings beleive that the universe is ten billion years old, some scientists nevertheless beleive it really is a lot older or endless. that's as a lot as you what you beleive, the sky might want to be eco-friendly, the sea's red if it makes you chuffed.

Answer 4

Hmm. Well I left Christianity because the hell concept, original sin etc were not moral.

So...morality drove me FROM Christianity, specifically. But ... I suppose that it's not JUST "blind faith" that keeps me away from other religions. A lot has to do with their moral systems and that they collapse logically. If I could find a religion that made sense morally and logically, I think I could believe "on faith."

Answer 5

How many of you are theists because you saw proof?

That would be a more important question.

If they saw proof, they would not be atheists...I haven't met an atheist yet who said blind faith was ok with them. So the answer to your question is likely - all atheists. It seems to be a defining characteristic of atheists.

Answer 6

I'm an atheist because I lost faith and have no reason to believe. I do not need proof, I just don't believe.

Answer 7

Maybe---just Maybe atheists deal with reality and those that have strong religious convictions can't deal with reality. In any of the big three religions of Jewish, Christian and Islam the books they believe in are filled with silly little adventures much like Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. They are entertaining but make little sense.

Answer 8

Proof is a bit of a high standard, but some glimmer of remote possibility or evidence would be more than I've seen.

Answer 9

You find some proof and I'll accept it.

It needn't be visual proof either. I'll accept a purely mathematical proof as well. What I won't consider proof is emotion or testimony or "look around you!"

Answer 10

I would not need complete proof, but anyth proof. There is simply too much that points to no deity, or at best a non-omniscient one.
