Why do many people believe there is no God when there is clear evidence? (Please read below before you answer)

Question

Well let me ask you a few questions. Just say i bring a machinary in front of you that no one has ever seen before and i ask you who knows the function of this machine. You would obviously say the manufacturer or the maker or the creator or the inventor etc. So how do you think the world came out, or the universe and all the nature. If it just came out of no where how can it be so perfect. Okay moving on, the study of embryology right now has just been discovered recently that is about a hundred years ago. But who do you think told about the development of an embryo before 1400 years ago in the Holy Qura'an, obviously the Creator (GOD). Next point, it was only before like 500 years or so people started to admit that the world is spherical in size but then the Quran said

Quran said this 1400 years ago. Who do you think would have said this, obviously the Creator(GOD). My next point, it was only a few years ago that science told us that the sun rotates on its own axis, but Allah said this in the Holy Quran 1400 years ago in chapter 21 verse 33 ( you can confirm it by referring to the Quran). It was only recently that science says that mountains prevent the Earth from shaking but my Creator, Allah said this 1400 years ago in Chapter 78 Verse 6 and 7. And another point, science only recently found that the universe is expanding but Allah said this in the Quran before 1400 years ago in chapter 51 verse 47. Hope i have proved enough about the existence of God. Im not an expert in Islam, but there are people with better knowledge than me and all ill say is Islam is the true relegion and hope to see you as another brother or sister in Islam.

Answer 1

Some people choose to not believe in God despite of all the evidence, because they are ignorant and they'd much rather live according to their own selfish rules and not God's.

Answer 2

How many times are you going to mention this little gem quote of yours. This is not proof. To this day, there is no religious figure that can prove the existence of a supreme being, not a Pope, Rabbi, Mullah, and on and on. But every once and a while an attempt is made and the attemptor says he/she has the proof. Science can prove a supreme being does not exist. Religion cannot prove one does. The onus is on the believers to prove the existence of a supreme being. Carry on. Keep banging your head against the wall. I'm going for a beer. You bore me.

Answer 3

no you people pi$$ me off. Im a total ATHEIST and i will only repect people and their religions if they just believe that a religion is just a guidence to life, which it is, but i have to say, i hate it when really religious people say that their religion is the only religion you should believe in, yea its all good supporting it in and all just dont take it too far, i can prove alot about god and stuff but i choose not to cos there would just crate to much hassle. and oh yea if the world was so "perfect" then you believe that war is perfect and killing is perfect and so on. you should think about that cos with good comes bad.

Answer 4

1)
A perfect world wouldn't have natural disasters. If I wanted to create a perfect world, I'd have at least made sure there weren't earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.

2)
Even assuming it's perfect, how is that an indication of design. Could it not be "perfect" for us, because we've adapted to live in this environment?

Answer 5

This is not evidence. The first part is the so-called "intelligent design" argument, but that argument fails: not only is it useless because it cannot have observable consequences, but evolution is a proven fact and adequately explains all of it. The sphericity of the earth has been known for at least 2300 years; not only did Eratosthenes know this, but he correctly measured its size. As for the Qur'an, it has errors, so cannot be used as a predictive authority for anything.

Answer 6

The argument from design was refuted most brilliantly by Hume 200 years ago before even Darwin. Go read 'Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion'.

Answer 7

You wasted a bunch of typing.

Atheists are just as certain in their beliefs a s you are in yours.

Trying to "evidence" someone into changing deeply held beliefs is like trying to crack a coconut with a rubber band.

Please-- Atheists stop trashing religious types.

AND

Religious types stop trashing Atheists.

And we'll all believe what we still believe and everyone will be happier. Sort of a spiritual "don't ask-don't tell..."

Answer 8

So your god knew the earth was not flat a thousand years after the greeks did? He truly is a mighty god!

There is no evidence, let alone clear evidence, of any gods. Now, if your god had mentioned in the bible the number, size and distance of the planets which could not be observed at the time the bible was written, then you'd have something.

Answer 9

Dude, have you ever taken biology, or chemistry? If you did, you'd realize that Nature creates itself nature destroys itself. Polar flips, earthquakes, Volcano eruptions, meteors, Just like the dinosaurs went, we will go. Not by the will of God, but because that is the way nature works... sorry dude, take a couple of science classes, you'll understand

Answer 10

Come on then, where is the "clear evidence"?

Aristotle KNEW the Earth was a sphere over 200 (addition - sorry typo - 2,000) years ago, so wrong again.

You think people never broke open an egg to see a chick? Wrong again.

Sad and deluded.

Answer 11

The Greeks not only knew the world was round, but they had calculated how round it was in about 200 BCE. That isn't evidence. It was either they heard it somewhere or a lucky guess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes
