The Taj Mahal is a beautiful sight. Have all Atheists seen it for themselves? Radiation hurts, juipter has moons, the moon has potholes, gravity is what keeps one stuck on earth while it spins - do all these facts need further proof for the atheists if they have not experienced them first hand or is it OK for them to believe Scientists and teachers who are humans? Then why is it difficult for them to believe that there is a infinite lot that humans do not know and one who knows all that is God, faith in God gives peace, patience, and promotes love, while making life more liveable, religion is but a convinient procedure (like socially accepted manners) to remember God, and like the Taj does not benefit if people visit it, science does not benefit from my trust in it, similarly God loves everybody.

Thanks Truth 7 you seem to see the truth behind the hate mail this logical question evoked.

I was giving common examples. I am sure most of you couldn't have seen all that you believe exists.

I am a Living Walking Talking proof of God's Existance.
Infact, everyone of you who doesn't even believe in God is proof of God's Existance.
Everyone's Normal Body Temperature is 98.6 degree, now scientist have DISCOVERD that it is 98.6 degree, but Are they the One who SET it that way? I mean Who decided that our body temperature stays normal at only 98.6 degrres? why not at 99 degree or why not at 90 degrees, or why not some other number? Who decided this? obviously Not US Humans, We can not controle that.
I mean Who decided that onyl 2 Hydrogen molecules and 1 Oxygen Molecule makes one water molecule? Why not 1 Hydrogen and 2 Oxygen? why not 1 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen? Who decided this combination? obviously not us humans, we just discovered it.
Plus Oxygen that burns others, and Hydrogen that burns it self, when combined makes whater which extinguishes the burning....You have the have a special point of view to see the intelligence and divinty behind the creation and its creator.
And obviously some people need special glasses to see such things...........
Anyways....my point is........you can't see air, but can you deny its existance, you can't see pain, but can you ignore the feeling..........
Similarly just because you can't see something doesn't deny its existance.......
Peace.................

I have seen the Taj Mahal in person. I have seen pictures of the results of radiation poisoning through various channels. I have seen pictures of the moons of Jupiter. I have used a telescope to see the potholes on the moon. I experience gravity every time I jump. These are all things that can be seen and experienced. Existence of god can only be believed, not known. If you can't admit that, then you are doing a disservice to yourself and those with whom you speak on such matters. You can believe whatever you want to believe. I have no problem with that. Just don't expect me to do the same. And science relies on observations and repetition of outcomes, not faith. Please stop being so self-righteous as to think you know what cannot be known. The world does not revolve around your opinions any more than it does mine.

First premise I do not believe in god or gods!
Religion is divisive, judgmental, arrogant, and frequently hateful. I don't see anything convenient about it, Sounds like it is convenient to just go along, don't make waves. You may say god is love, I see no evidence to show that there is a god how is that love.
As far as science, I have looked at the moon with a telescope, and seen photographs, same with Jupiter. My profession has shown me radiation can burn and cause injury. I don't just take someones word for science, I do see for myself. If I am unable to see for myself, I needs it to be supported by logic.
The rest of what you say makes even less sense.
Nobody should have blind trust in science, but you should no dismiss what you don't understand. If it takes you personally seeing it than do so. You don't just have to take some one word for it that is why is it called science.
If you thought this was a logical question, It will be a long time before you could understand scientific theory. You seem to have no grasp of what logic is.
This is not hate mail, to not agree with you convoluted statements is not hate.

The very fact that humans do not know everything is no excuse to invent on imaginary cause for everything and call it god.
At one time people believed that the eclipse of the sun was a sign that their god was angry with them and they made human sacrifices to placate the god and this obviously worked because the sun reappeared.
We have aquired a little more knowledge since those days and this belief has fallen out of fashion.
The present cult of the Jewish sky god is only a few thousand years old and will also eventually fall out of fashion

I have seen the proof for many of the things you have listed but I will play along for you.
The difference is I CAN observe the proof of science. These are the people who have brought you everything from calenders to computers that fit into you pocket and yes, I can prove it.
I have NEVER met any person, read any book (and yes I have read the bible) or had any experience that proves, even indirectly that there is a God. You are asking me to believe something you CAN'T prove.
If you care to expend the effort you can see the proof of any scientific claim.........all you get from Theists in the way of proof is inane crap about the bible being authored by a concept of a man that they worship.

Atheists can't teach that God does not exist to any extent further than Theists can teach that he does! Theists have confidence in accepting God on faith on an identical time as atheists have confidence in final skeptical. I certainly have additionally studied many distinctive religions. i think of human beings basically seem to have a would desire to have confidence in some thing, it is basically human nature. All religions seem to have specific issues in uncomplicated, and those are issues all of us seem to agree on whether we are non secular or no longer. while you're agnostic or skeptical, and don't have confidence in anybody specific faith, then you fairly see those issues because of the fact the significant stuff and something as basically window dressing. i assume there is no longer something incorrect with basically accepting the religion you're born into and taught via your mom and dad. yet some everybody is basically curious so we carry out a little finding on our very own. i do no longer have confidence the Bible is inerrant or that it is a few style of revelation from God, yet I certainly have studied it and that i detect it beautiful basically as historical literature, for what it shows us approximately human nature and the relation between guy and God. i'm no longer Christian yet I certainly have discovered plenty from Christians, additionally from Muslims and Buddhists, etc. there's a undeniable quantity of know-how in all the super traditions, and you do no longer would desire to be a believer to earnings from it.

It takes faith to be an atheist, you have to believe that God doesn't exist. No one can prove that God doesn't exist.
On the other hand if the Bible is true when it states that God is love; Which I do believe can and has been proven, then
the very fact that there is a design, proves that there is a designer, so that everyone is without excuse.

I am an atheist. I believe humans if they show me a preponderance of evidence. The more incredible a claim, the more evidence I require.
For example, if you claim to be wearing a brown shirt, which is no incredible claim, I will not require much to believe that. However, if you claim to be god, I think I will require a wee bit more evidence for that incredible claim.
All the things you have mentioned have evidence to support their existence except god/s. Show me the evidence, and I will believe.

To be an Atheist takes a lot of faith in what someone else tells them. Doesn't it? The majority have no access to electron microscopes or to bones dug up and labeled homo-whateverus and still they believe and have faith they are being told the truth.
It is very funny that the non-believers are actually just generating a faith opposition to the theist form of faith and claim faith is ignorant.
They hate it when you point this out, and immediatly reveal themselves as they truly are, anti-theists.
Atheists have to have faith but do not care about the Theist's point of view, they are not in opposition nor are they trying to convert the Theist.
**You are most welcome, as you have obviously experienced, Atheism (in the anti-theist sense) is actually anti-logic because they choose their logic according to their belief. All other logic is deemed as illogical only termed as an insult.

The God/faith dilemma is thrown in our faces (I'm agnostic) so much, that is why we are adament in stating that we need proof. If we had to sit and have the fact that Jupiter has moons shoved down our throats all the time, we would probably ask for proof too, those things you brought up just aren't in our lives for us to think to ask for proof. Bring something up enough and we'll challenge it.
