Since Atheists only believe in what is scientifically measurable, can you measure love?, when did time begin?

Question

You hold a pathetic few answers to uncountable questions.

When did moments first start passing? How long before that? Infinity without origen or ending, you cannot fathom something without origen. SO HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND OR EXPLAIN? If you wear a watch, you believe in time. But time has no beginning and no end unless you relate it to something. But moments still elapse whether you call it time or not. You believe in the unbelievable whether you admit it or not. You believe in something with no beginning and no ending. And then you ignorantly say God is not real, because He goes beyond your limited intellect in explaining Him. Agree? doubt it, but facts are facts.

Answer 1

Love and time don't exist. They're fairy tales.

Edit: Wow, it's called sarcasm. I was simply demonstrating that I see the point of the question.
The fact is, if something as abstract as time can have always existed, then why couldn't God?
If love can't be measured or seen (except when put into action), but IT still exists, why couldn't God?

People are supposed to see God through US. I know that not all of us exemplify that, but we're supposed to. I think that's why there are really so many atheists. They don't see God, not even in us.

Answer 2

Love is a chemical response to emotional stimuli. The hormones released into the bloodstream are EXACTLY the same as the ones released by having sex, or doing heroin. Coincidentally, extremely devout individuals release this chemical during prayer...hmmm...heroin and prayer having something in common...

Time is an abstract universal constant. This means that events occur, with a definitive order (one before another). Planetary and stellar formations exhibit this. Time, as humans define it, is actually just a means to define this abstract concept. The universe has no concern with our definition of minutes, hours, years, lightyears, eons, or infinity. It only displays the effects of passing events. It is a natural, not spiritual concept.

When a person wears a watch, it is because the human definition of time has an impact on their life...not because you "believe in time".

You seem to have a poor understanding of scientific truths. This planet is just one small portion of nature. Nature encompasses the universe, not just this planet. One of the most basic facts of nature is that EVERYTHING NATURAL HAS A NATURAL ORIGIN. Science has proven the Big Bang, and is working to determine where the hypercompressed matter that exploded outward came from. While this answer may not become apparent during our lifetime (which is extremely finite in the cosmic sense), eventually it will be discovered. The worst part for a believer in biblical creation is that it is assured, by the very nature of the universe, that the answer will have ABSOLUTLY NOTHING to do with a god...or any other supernatural entity.

To address the rest of your ignorant condescenion...you make the same mistake that many, many people of various faiths (and the lack there-of) do. As a natural being, I accept the definition that has been given to the phenomenon of time. It's beginning, as to how we measure it, is currently held to be the moment of the Big Bang, and its end has yet to be determined. I proudly, logically, and intellectually state (not claim) that god(s) are not real. The supernatural cannot influence the natural...that is not a limiting statement, but a statement based on universal FACT.

Personally, I'm astounded by the fact that you make what seems to be a fairly intelligent and articulate case, and then piss it all away by displaying an inability to so much as find the spell check button...or the knowledge to spell the word origin correctly in the first place.

Answer 3

facts are facts right well like u dont know what hapend before your "god" created the world we dont know yet what hapend before
the yet factor is important since a few senturies ago we thoght the world was flat but do u try to discover what hapend before or do u just sit in church and wait for the priest to tell u what to belive
we now relate time to the big bang even if there probabley was time before like we say a baby is 2 years old not 2 years 9 months we take the moment of birth as its begining
but we do know a lot about the univers since :
we now how big the universe was in the first seconds what tempreture it had how did the elements formed how the univers expanded til limits imposible to mesure how light was formed and how stars are born and die and things that were considerd imposible a few years ago which trow resarch we discoverd research now i ask u has religeon made a any recent discoveries on what hapened or u are so full of yourself that u dont even bother and just sit on your *** and wait for god to work for u
i admite scince dosent have all the answers but we are tryng to find out and maybe some day we will have more answers then questions until then we will keep resurchng

PS scince can mesure love because its an evolutanary adaptatin to make species mate more ofthen the sence of joy that u experice u feel while in love is caused because of the so caled "feel good hormons"(sry cant remeber their real name)thats why love has a big efect at the begining and after that the efect wears of
it takes at most 10 years some chose to remain toghethere because they have kids or they get along fine even without the hormons the fact is that most divorces hapen in that time period

Answer 4

I'll leave love to someone else, but will tackle your problems with time.

Your main problem with time is that you don't understand it. You ask stupid questions of when it begins or ends, which are completely irrelevant to being able to measure and use time (and could easily be answered by 'the start and end of the universe). And you're being unable to understand/believe in time without origin just highlights your own weakness. And just because we cannot explain something it would not imply the existence of gods. The big difference between time and god is that we can very directly see the evidence for time. And we can measure and study it to some extent. Whereas there is nothing to suggest that gods actually exist at all.

If you were a little more imaginative you'd ask if time 'moves' at a constant rate or if it's variable. And could this be measured? You'd also ask which direction time is moving in. The theoretical physicists love this question, as it's unanswerable. We believe it moves in one direction, because that is how our minds perceive it. But that does not make it so.

Answer 5

Which is your actual question here? Ill stick with what is in the heading.
Can you measure love? No. Because love is just a human creation, used to describe feelings and emotions. Love is attachment and lust. Love is not some magical bond, its just the biological drive we have to mate with a desirable member of the opposite sex (usually opposite anyhow).
When did time begin is a stupid question, how long is a piece of string? More importantly, when does a square begin? You can ask a question whilst limiting the dimensions in which an answer can be given.
We view time from withing our 3 dimensional world, ignoring the effects of the extra 12 or more dimensions that exist in our universe. Asking when time began is like asking whats north of the north pole, it all has to do with accepted human labels and references. In asking what happened before the big bang etc, is imposing your view that time has to have a beginning and end as we view it in our 3 dimensional world, when it has been proven that there are more dimension in our world.
Love is just a product of our brains, time is a construct of our thinking based on a 3 dimensional view of the world.

Answer 6

Scientifically we are all considered to be animals. Technically we are all human beings with dominion over other animals-granted by God-because we have intellect and a conscience ( you know, that little voice inside our head that helps us distinguish right from wrong). Our cerebrum is smooth at birth and grooves develop over time due to our exposure. Yes, we also have innate traits that control or involuntary muscles but are not limited such as other animals. We might not understand or know all the answers invariably and that is profound in itself. There is no concept of time when we are sleeping either, but our brain and body functions carry on. A circle, or sphere has no beginning or end, a watch is correct twice daily-even if it is broke, there is a fine line between genius and insanity, the further you go on your quest for knowledge the less you know, and most people only utilize 10% of their brain capacity, and finally, is the glass half full (pessimism), or is it half empty (optimism)?! Well, the answer to that is quite simple---BOTH!! God is LOVE and I believe that it is innate because we were created in His image. The most powerful, natural, resource on earth is water---how many forms does it take? Over 90% of our body is water. I believe God is in us and all around us in the form of H20. Ponder on that for a while.

Answer 7

In principle atheism doesn't say that God does not exist. An atheist is simply a person without belief in a god or gods. You were an atheist on the day you were born.

Time began with the Big Bang event when space and matter came into existence.

Answer 8

You see facts as you believe them. Atheists may not believe in your God or my God but that does not give you the right to be so judgemental towards them. The best way to talk to an atheist is by example. And quite frankly you are being a bit rude and hateful. No wonder many people judge christians so harshly and feel as tho they are hypicritical. You are setting a bad name for good loving christians like me and many others who do love atheists and are kind to them and all peoples of all beliefs like Jesus wanted us to be. Practice what you preach and learn to be more understanding.

Answer 9

The Cricket: You say youre a Christian and love does not exist. God is love. 1 John 4:16

Answer 10

The Athiest and the Loch Ness Monster

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air then opened its mouth to swallow both. As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, my God! Help me!"

At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place and, as the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down from the clouds.

"I thought you didn't believe in Me!"

"Come on God, give me a break!," the man pleaded. "Two minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!"

Then the Atheist continues, "God, please let the Loch Ness Monster become religious."

God replies, "So be it."

The scene starts up, atheist falling.

The Loch Ness Monster folds his claws together and says, "Lord, bless this food you have so graciously provided...."

A new Bishop was visiting in the homes of an inactive member.
At their house it seemed obvious that someone was at home,
but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door.

Therefore, he took out a card and wrote
"Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

The following Sunday at church he found that his card had been returned.

Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10."

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter.

Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.."

Genesis 3:10 reads, "And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself

Recently, just as an ecumenical gathering was commencing, a secretary rushed in shouting "The building is on fire!"

The Baptists cried, "Where is the Water!"

The Quakers quietly praised God for the blessings that fire brings.

The Lutherans posted a notice on the door declaring that fire was evil.

The Roman Catholics passed the plate to cover the damage.

The Jews posted symbols on the doors hoping the fire would pass.

The Congregationalists shouted "Every man for himself!"

The Fundamentalists proclaimed, "It's the vengeance of God."

The Episcopalians formed a procession and marched out.

The Christian Scientists concluded that the fire would put itself out.

The Presbyterians appointed a chairperson who was to appoint a committee to
look into the matter and submit a written report.

The Unity Students proclaimed the fire had no power over them.

Some atheists in attendance didn't believe there was a fire.

The secretary grabbed the fire extinguisher and put the fire out.

And the Mormons, having arrived fifteen minutes late, missed the fire
completely.

Alright so there was 4 people on a plane. 1 was a doctor, 1 was a scientist, 1 was a old grama, and 1 was a teen. So the plane is about to crash and there is only 3 parashots.

"I am a doctor and I save peoples lives, so I get 1" said the doctor, as he grabbed a parashot and jumped out.

"I am a great scientist and besides I am the smarted man on earth, so I get 1" said the scientist as he grabbed 1 of the parashots and jumped out.

"Young teen I have lived my life well and happy so you should get your chance. You get the last parashot" said the old ladie.

"But there is 2 parashots." the teen said. "The smartest man on earth took my backpack."

Two LDS missionaries were visiting homebound patients when they ran out of gas. As luck would have it, a gas station was just a block away.

The two walked to the station to borrow a gas can and buy some gas.
The attendant said that the only gas can he owned had been lent out, but
they could wait until it was returned.

Since young men were on the way to see a patient, they decided not to
wait and walked back to the car. They looked for something in the car
that could be filled with gas and spotted the bedpan they were taking
to the patient.
Always resourceful, they carried the bedpan to the station, filled it
with gas, and carried the full bedpan back to the car.

While the missionaries were pouring the gas into the tank, two men
watched from across the street. One of the them turned to the other
and said, "If it starts, I'm turning Mormon."

Is it Wine?

On the first day of school, the children brought gifts for their
teacher.

The florist's son brought the teacher a bouquet of flowers.

The candy-store owner's daughter gave the teacher a pretty
box of candy.

Then the liquor-store owner's son brought up a big, heavy
box.
The teacher lifted it up and noticed that it was leaking a little
bit.
She touched a drop of the liquid with her finger and tasted it.
"Is it wine?" she guessed.

"No," the boy replied.

She tasted another drop and asked,
"Champagne?"

"No," said the little boy.
