ATHEISTS: Answer this if YOU DARE>>>>?

Question

READ THE FOLLOWING AND TELL ME IF YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF A GOD

As you focus on each word in this sentence, your eyes swing back and forth 100 times a second, and every second the retina performs 10 billion computer-like calculations.
Incredibly, the eye, optic nerve and visual cortex are totally separate and distinct subsystems. Yet, together, they capture, deliver and interpret up to 1.5 million pulse messages a milli-second! It would take dozens of Cray supercomputers programmed perfectly and operating together flawlessly to even get close to performing this task.1
The eyes can perceive more than 1 million simultaneous visual impressions, are able to discriminate among nearly 8 million gradations of color, can distinguish about 500 different shades of gray, and take in more information than the world’s largest telescope.

as for the "who created God" ordeal. God created our space-time universe, hence he is eternal and infinite, not subject to time or space>

Answer 1

evolution....

If I tell you all the things our eyes can't do, will you doubt God is real?

Answer 2

1. I have been unable to verify much of this information at any site other than pro-creation sites. I wonder about the accuracy of some of the data. Some of it appears to be misrepresentations of fact.

2. The eye itself does very little of the image processing, the brain is doing most of that.

3. There is, even today, a spectrum of eye structures, from the very complex (and the human eye is not the most complex, structurally) to simple light sensing organs. It is not difficult, using this evidence, to extrapolate the evolution of sight... much as we can do with the brain, heart, etc.



I am not an atheist, I am a Bible-believing Christian that is really tired of these lame 'there has to be a God because...' arguments.

Answer 3

Yet another argument from incredulity. Yes, the human visual system is amazing, but that by itself evidence is not that it was designed. There is plenty of evidence that our visual system evolved over time. Take for instance the fact that our retina is on the back surface of our eye, so that when the optic nerve connects to the eye there is a hole in the retina, resulting in a blind spot in each eye. Other animals on earth evolved eyes that do not have this defect. If there was a God who designed us, why did we get the imperfect eye, and other animals didn't?

Answer 4

Ain't evolution absolutely AMAZING???? The first tiny creatures did not have any organs that could be defined as eyes. The next group could not only sense electrical impulses but maybe even sense light vs. dark. Color sight developed because those creatures that could distinguish the colors of a predator from the surrounding flora, survived and passed on its genes to the following generations.

Finally, after millions of years of intricate circuitry developing to not only see colors and objects with great clarity, the brain developed the ability to interpret what the eyes saw.

After that, a group of people who still have to need to explain things they don't understand as miracles of god, went around trying to debunk those who think rationally and scientifically. After all, does the fire god still get angry and blow off the top of mountains?

You prove to me there is a fire god, and I'll consider your god.

Do you think the theory of relativity, which can be proved by mathematics, is a myth? Rattling off a bunch of text book facts does not prove the existence of god.

Answer 5

You forget how limited our eyes really are. We only see one small part of the visual spectrum. There is so much more that we can't see, than we can't see. And the eye isn't a complex as you think. That is the biggest thing that believers seem to see in nature. That nature is so much more complex than my intelligence, then it must come from some higher intelligence. That is like the same thing, when you see some strange object in the sky, reguardless of what it really is, you jump to saying it's an UFO from the planet Venus. Of course, you have no idea what it is, and most certainly it is not a spacecraft.

Answer me this about your god: Of all the life that has ever existed on this planet, 99% of it is extinct. We make up the small 1% but that doesn't say much about a creator. If he is indeed the creator, why did it take some many failed attempts to get it right, isn't he god? Couldn't he just get it right the first time?

Answer 6

I'm not inclined to believe your stats and there is definately no god as far as I'm concerned . technology far surpasses the abilities of the human brain .Can you see a car from outer space satelites or does a telescopic lens and computer far exceed the human capabilities ? grow up my friend... function follows form is the general scheme of life before human intelligence developed and then it became form follows functions .... ,that should be food for thought as the ignorance of the universe took billions of years of probable chance and natural inclination or selection to become intelligent . think a little more and try not being so die hard biased open both eyes!

Answer 7

There is no possibility of a omni-potent god.

And it is not 8 million gradations of colours, it is about 16 billion. :P. Telescope does not take in information, it is an optical enhancement equipment, your eyes takes in the information from the Telescope and process it in your brain.
In case you do not know, light travel in constant speed. The speed for light to travel through telescope is about the speed of light travelling through the eye.

Cray supercomputer was obsoleted since 1984, Cray 2 Since 1985, the latest supercomputer is IBM Blue Gene/L calculating at 280.6 TFLOPS, Trillions Floating Points Operations Per Second.

All your information are backdated by at least a decade. Try to get the latest update. :P.

By the way, who told you god is infinite, other then the bible? Maybe he can show himself and tell us he is infinite and not to one person who wrote the bible and 60 others who added their versions. I call those people schizophrenic (In fact, from the behaviour of Moses who always thought god is talking to him and go around killing people under god's order, it is a sign of schizophrenic).

Answer 8

Can honestly say that your paragraph does not show any proof of a god what so ever. You left out parts how the human eye is poorly designed. An all power full, all knowing, basically perfect god would not make an imperfect eye. That is, unless he was one major malfunction of a god.

Answer 9

Complexity doesn't imply intelligent design. It's possible there are gods but it's also possible that there aren't.

Did you know that the connections between neurons in the human brain have a 70% chance of sputtering out? 70%!!! What kind of god creates a brain to work like that? Especially the human brain, the most advanced brain that exists (as far as we know).

Our eyes are nothing special either. They have a blind spot for "god's" sake. Birds have much better sight than we do.

Answer 10

The Brain Sees - Not the Eyes.

(But, Still I See Your Point - For Not All of the Collective Wisdom and Technology of Man Could Reproduce a Human Brian or Eye for that Fact)

Answer 11

It's a product of evolution.

If it was intelligently designed, we would be able to see infrared, ultraviolet, and other waves from the spectrum of light that other animals can see.

I never understood why the complexity of something is sign of a designer. People that cannot comprehend the amount of time that has existed for specialization cannot get over that I guess.
