Question for Athiests?

Question

Would you say that you know everything?How about half of everything? Well let's pretend that you know half of everything. Well what if God exists in the half that you don't know about?

No Jack you probably won't

This is to that girl who's name I can't spell. Actually yes I have researched both evolution and creation deeply. When it came down to it God made more sense to me

See you people fell right into my plan. I was recently at an thing were a scientist asked this question to christians about evolution. So you are calling your own people dumb now.

Answer 1

I'm not going to like you am I?

Answer 2

I'm still disturbed by the fact none of you seem to know how to spell "atheist." Is using Spell-Checker satanic or something?

I don't know everything. One of the great joys of life is learning new things. That's my primary objection to religion: It stops at "God did it, end of story, I don't need to hear anything else."

If it turns out (however unlikely it is) that gods exist in the knowledge I don't have, I will be willing to at least listen. But I am never going to take the word of other men on the subject of gods. They'll have to show up and tell me themselves. If an entity shows up, claiming to be a god, then performs a miracle, like creating a new species, then we'll talk. Some nut-bag with a gilt-edged book in his hand doesn't stand a chance with me. Been there, done that.

Answer 3

Ah.....you Christians and your games of let's pretend. That brings back memories of going to church. At church it is always that game of let's pretend. Let's pretend there is a God, let's pretend the Bible is nothing more than children's stories, let's pretend this, that, and the other thing. Atheists do not need to pretend or have a pretend friend (God) in order to survive the day, in order to know what is right from wrong, etc.
However, to answer your question, it would not be logical for God to exist in the other half that we do not know about, but yet 2,000 years ago he was in this half. Why does he hide? What is he afraid of? If we are indeed his children, then why does he not want anything to do with us? Come on, your God should be logical at least.

Answer 4

I know more than the average Joe. I also know that not one shred of real evidence for a creator has ever been found. Furthermore, I know that the fossil record indicates that Darwin was right. No creator is necessary to provide the diversity of life on our planet. I have since reasoned that if there is no evidence for god and evolution explains the procession of life, there is not likely to be a creator at all. So I don't believe in god. Simple see?

Answer 5

I'm not even going to dignify this question with an answer but I do have a question for you. The Bible states that God created man in his own image right. Ok, science has skeletal remains of early man that dates back over a million years ago and when a face was made from digital imaging of the skull, it looks very much ape like. So, does God look like an Ape?

Answer 6

Well then anything is possible. What if Loki, the Norse god of Mischief, exists in that half? What if it's filled with pink marshmallows? See where I'm going here?

I just take what I know and go with that. Nothing I know suggests that there is a god, and religious people are separated into several contradicting religions, so at the very least, most of them are wrong. It doesn't seem far-fetched to me that they're ALL wrong.

Answer 7

I'm Christian, and I'm so sick of this evolution **** that I could vomit.
There isn't any controversy between the Bible and Science if you are talking about the age of the earth - The Bible says the earth is eons old and that there was even an entire earth age before this one. Read of the three earth ages in second peter.
There are people on both sides of this argument that have no knowledge whatsoever of what they are talking about.
Is it 4:20?

Answer 8

It does not take all knowledge to disprove a thing if you can show the thing has a necessary consequence.

Free will is a necessary consequence of the existence of a meaningful (in the sense of: relevant, not moot) deity.

Free will is an impossibility in the universe in which we find ourselves. We make choices, but these choices are made by computational processes of the brain.

Thus, either there is no deity or the deity that exists is irrelevant and moot -- hardly terms applicable to a deity.

Answer 9

I can't possibly know everything. There are some things in this world that I just have no desire to learn about. However, regarding the things that I am interested in, I do a great deal of research. I've done the research, I've looked at the arguments for both cases ... and I've made an educated decision. How many christians have done the same?

Answer 10

I don't know everything or even half of everything. Since I have to choose how I will live my life I have to make a decision based on what I do know. What I know is that there is no proof of God at this time. But what about you? Is your choice to believe in God based on what you know, do you know everything?

Answer 11

the God of the Gaps argument.

As we know more and more, god's domain therefore gets smaller and smaller... And each extra bit that we know would prove god didn't exist there (by your logic), making the chance of him existing anywhere less and less. At some point you'd be forced to conclude there was no god. So how much more knowledge does the world require to prove this? Or is your statement just a silly question that doesn't stand up to analysis?

Edit: Just noticed who posted this question. Take a look at her answer on http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Am_30vgZE8N0OhCMC3McivkgBgx.?qid=20070214124404AAYVKVl&show=7#profile-info-39f7a77c28c7422c74063b2887ffe290aa for an idea of just how ignorant she is when it comes to science.
