Answer 1

#1. No it doesn't, apparent complexity can some from randomness. If you read "A New Kind of Science" By Stephan Wolfram you will see how this is done.

#2. The human brain itself is a series of electro-chemical reactions. It's well studied by science. Perhaps if they made the argument about the mind instead.

#3. You have a very slight chance of being hit by lightning. If you were struck by lightning would you deny it afterward because it couldn't happen by chance? No. This is a fallacious argument.

#4. Vast numbers of people used to think slavery was just. Didn't make it right or true. Again a fallacious argument.

#5 If God wanted to be known then there would be better evidence of his/her existence. I see no need or purpose for a god, especially not one who "wants to be known."

#6. There have been lots of cult leaders who claimed to be God, some had followers who thought they could do miracles. This argument is simply dishonest.

Answer 2

Your question is much like the one that goes..."Answer yes or no. Have you stopped beating your wife?" You seem to think that only atheist's will answer your request.

An atheist would say that all those things mentioned occurred in the matter of time by evolution. And perhaps they would be right.

I guess I am an Orthodox Heathen.. I believe that all those things listed happened because some mighty life force started with a tiny sea creature and kept making improvements and changes and suddenly after only millions of years there stood modern man and modern elephant and modern cherry tree and so on ad infinitum.

So, I will concede that there is a life force that is making some things better all the time. But, how about the things that are made worse all the time? Who gets the blame for that?

I won't mention AIDS or cancer or the common cold as they have all been mentioned many times over already.

I think all organized religions and splinter cults pray to God and some wierd ones even offer Him sacrifices.

I try to imagine God taking time to sit down and listen to the flood of prayers for a miriad of requests and He sits there and issues approvals or denials faster than a machine gun.

How does he handle the complaints from a mother whose child has just died from lieukemia? Does he just say, file that one in the deep six file??

I would rather think that the Almighty Life Force has no concerns at all about the creatures that live on earth. He or She does not have to listen to prayers because He or She says, "Those whales and elephants and humans and ants will have to work out their little problems without me. It is all I can do to give some guy the way to grow hair for those who have lost theirs."

Is there power in prayer??? Has prayer ever stopped a war??? Has prayer ever really cured an incurable disease? Has prayer ever turned a toranado around and made it disapear???

There is a theory that God answers prayers by sometimes just saying "NO."

You have probably stopped reading this by now so I will stop after saying this, Jesus, I believe lived on earth over 2000 years ago and Mohammed had a vision of Gabriel who told him to remember a long drawn out recital and then Joseph Smith had a vision from aother angel who told him some other rules to live by and several others heard voices claiming to be God. When they or their followers, organized their religions, they threw in a lot of their own thoughts and then there was something for everybody's taste in worshiping.

Have you ever seen where God has made it abundently clear that just one religion was the true religion that everyyone should follow??

Answer 3

listen, why not try to win people with kindness not throw it in your face type of approach. I don't sit here and make you or try to force you to believe in anything else. I accept you for who YOU are, why not accept that there are DIFFERENT people in this world. You are in a way argumental and rub lots of people the wrong way. Maybe it's time to stop trying to prove non-believers wrong all the time and just let people see the good deeds god does in your life as a an example. then, maybe then, they may try to approach god.

By the way I'm not an atheist. I believe in god but am really turned off by the way modern day Christians treat all other faiths or non-believers.
Salvation is on a individual level. No matter how much you pray for someone that still will not guarantee that person will be saved. It comes from the individuals own will.
I understand that now that you've given your life to god things are different but others need to know through your actions not through your comments and in your face type of approach.

I don't mean this in any disrespect and so I hope that you are more open to others beliefs. Be a lighthouse in a stormy world not a loud horn which startles.

Answer 4

Eh. Who cares? God is so...last century. You atheists out there should wise up too. It's indifference, not argument, that really gets 'em. Or would you prefer to continue taking people like this to school, being rational and scientific, until you're blue in the face? I could make better progress with my daughter's preschool class. Look at all the time you guys spent writing up your thoughtful evolutionary responses. Do you really think this guy is going to say, "Oh, wow, you're right! I never thought about it that way! OK, OK, so I was wrong. God doesn't exist after all." Ah, no. It's called confirmation bias. Sheesh. But go on, try to convince him, do your darndest...

Answer 5

that page just shows scientific reasons for why we are what we are. if the planet was smaller, or closer to the sun, then perhaps we would be a different kind of species altogether. we have become what we are because single celled organisms adapted to our surroundings and we evolved into humans, i see nothing on that link that makes god 'undeniable', all it shows is information about the circumstances that made us humans.

Answer 6

If a God had created this earth for us to destroy he would have made other earths nearby for us to escape to... not perfect at all!!!!

Answer 7

Riddle me this, Batman . . Do you believe your God can create anything? Do you believe your God can destroy anything? Do you believe your God can create something he can't destroy? What is your answer?
