Can anti-believers solve all the mysteries of the universe with "logic"?

Question

If they can't how can they expect to figure God out? If they can they must be geniuses in the extreme! Please enlighten us poor ignorant believers,you must be Gods your own little selves!!

Answer 1

Magic certainly doesn't answer the mysteries of the universe. Neither does putting ones head into the sand.

Should I remind you of the dark ages when the Catholic Church was law and any discoveries that were contrary to church doctrine were considered heresy, a crime punishable by death.

If God is surely truth and light, critical evaluation would only serve to illuminate and prove his existence.

Pantheist

Answer 2

Which gods do you speak of?

No-one claims to be able to solve all the mysteries of the universe with logic or anything else. However there is no harm in having an open mind and actually learning something. You should try it some time. It's so liberating.

To invent gods doesn't explain anything either.

Answer 3

I am not an anti-believer. I am a non-believer. There is a difference.

If I cannot solve all the questions there are in the universe, why should I think some god must have done it? It would not be rational to do so.

Answer 4

This is hilarious! Why in the world would "anti-believers" attempt to figure out something they don't believe exists? The whole point of not believing is, well, not believing. Nor do they attempt to solve all the mysteries of the universe. Atheists generally tend to have no problem saying "I don't know".

Answer 5

Yeah god fits the pieces *rolls eyes*, he made everything yet christians deny that he made mistakes even if they weren't on purpose... That's what's wrong with humans we are always seeking and pretending to have the answers or want answers to the impossible. There is a possibility we may finally find the answers about who created the universe and ourself just might turn up to be something that wasn't even a deity and not even nice.

Answer 6

Given sufficient time, yes, science can (and will) probably be able to explain the "how" of everything to some degree.

Even if that WEREN'T the case, what possible logically argument could you have for NOT using the brain "God" gave you to try? Did God make a mistake when He gave humans the capacity to think and to be curious?

Science is not in the business of explaining "why", that is the realm of the men in black dresses and silly hats

Answer 7

Your question reveals that the foolishness which serves you as a substitute for knowledge and reason is a logical fallacy (a flaw in thinking) known as the "Argument From Incredulity"... which is a sub-category of the "Argumentum ad Ignorantiam" (Argument From Ignorance). It is also known as the 'Divine Fallacy'. It goes something like this: "I can't conceive of (or imagine) how this might have come to be; therefore, God did it."

That does not point to a limitation of science, or of nature... rather, it illuminates a limitation of YOUR knowledge and/or intellect. Also, it is intellectually dishonest, since it does not (as scientists do) ACKNOWLEDGE the limitation of knowledge... it merely invokes the fanciful idea of a supernatural creator-entity to manifest the ILLUSION that your ideas correlate to 'facts'. Finally... it reveals that you presume, for yourself, a form of omniscience... thinking that goes like this: "If this were understandable, then I should be able to understand (or imagine) it. Since I do NOT (can not) understand (or imagine) it... it logically follows that it is NOT understandable... by ANYONE. Since it is NOT understandable by anyone, it logically follows that it cannot be 'true'. Therefore... God did it." (See? Right back to the Argument from Incredulity.)

'Faith' (wishful, magical thinking) is a lame and pathetic substitute for 'evidence'.

'Belief' (the internalized 'certainty' that you are privy to the 'truth' pertaining to some fundamental aspect of existence and/or reality) is a lame and pathetic substitute for 'knowledge'... i.e., it is the ILLUSION of knowledge.

faith + belief --> self-deception, self-delusion and willful ignorance

"The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance... it is the illusion of knowledge." ~ Daniel Boorstin

"When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion." ~ Robert M. Pirsig

THINK about this... seriously... THINK... you believe that a cosmic Jewish zombie, who is his own father, can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced, by a talking snake with legs, to eat from a magical tree... (etc.)... and that there is something horribly wrong with people who ARE NOT so gullible and droolingly stupid as to believe such outrageously ridiculous codswallop.

Now... here's a NEWS FLASH: sane people do not believe such nonsense.

Answer 8

the point is
the mysteries of the universe
are mysteries
NO ONE has the answers to the universe or its creation
face the facts

Answer 9

at least this is a more creative "straw man" position than we usually see.

Only certain monotheists claim to have all the answers. The rest of us are content to unravel the mystery one little sliver at a time.

If your interpretation of anyone who thinks differently than you are "gods," that's your call - none of us have ever made that claim.

Answer 10

Lol, now I'm an "anti" believer. I love it. God doesn't exist honeybunch, so "figuring" him out is pointless.

In addition-since there are still lots of questions left to be answered in the universe, "goddunit" is STILL lazy and superstitious thinking.
