For those who dont believe in God, what is your REAL reason?

Question

Dont say, "Well I cant see Him." That is a bunch of junk. There are several things that you cant see, but are there. How do you seriously think this whole universe was formed? Do you seriously think that poof it was just there, without someone putting it there? And that somehow all the planets are perfectly rotating around the sun without crashing into each other? How do you explain that happening if everything just created itself? And how do you explain all the stars not colliding, and are perfectly scattered across the sky?
Seriously dont tell me you dont believe because you cant see him, when the whole universe is evidence that is was NOT an accident, but perfectly designed and created.
What is your real reason?

What's wrong? Is someone afraid to list an ACTUAL real answer?
Let's not be ignorant here....
by the way, I am talking of the one true God, There is only ONE

Answer 1

God makes the choice.

Answer 2

"For those who dont believe in God, what is your REAL reason?"
My reason is I have no reason.

"How do you seriously think this whole universe was formed?"
Wiki: big bang

"Do you seriously think that poof it was just there, without someone putting it there?"
How is one any more plausible than the other?

"And that somehow all the planets are perfectly rotating around the sun without crashing into each other?"
This "somehow" is what we call Newtons Laws of Universal Gravitation; and we've known about it for centuries.

"And how do you explain all the stars not colliding, and are perfectly scattered across the sky?"
Stars HAVE collided, though it is a rare event since they are so far apart.


"Seriously dont tell me you dont believe because you cant see him, when the whole universe is evidence that is was NOT an accident, but perfectly designed and created."
Prove it.

Answer 3

I don't have the time or energy to explain all of science to you. But there are some great theories out there that are way more likely to be correct rather than an god did it. All the info you require is out there if you take the time to read about it and have an open mind enough to consider it without dismissing it because it doesn't fit your theological views. There is no proof of a god. Not one shred of evidence. You say it's everywhere. Where? Evolution can explain life better than creation and it has some evidence to support it even if the evidence is incomplete. At least there is some. The big bang theory makes a lot more sense to the origin of the universe that god made it so.

Answer 4

You can't observe any deities; we're not just talking sight here, little one. Take a cosmology course to find out how the universe came about the way it did. We're not perfectly rotating around the sun; we run into crap all the time (or crap runs into us). Stars do collide; glad to see you frequent NASA's website...
I wish I was so blissfully unaware of how terrifying the universe really is.
I don't believe in any gods because there is no evidence for any of them. You don't believe there's a unicorn on the dark side of the moon because there's no evidence for one. The only religious belief that has any proof is pantheism, where the universe is god and god is the universe. Any deity with a characteristic is ridiculous.

Oh, I'm glad you follow Ordo. Isn't He, the one true god, superb?

Answer 5

What reason do you believe in him?

I don't claim to explain anything. But yes, 'poof' about works for the universe, in my book. *poof* is a less complicated explanation than "Let there be light", /then/ *poof*

Planets don't crash into each because they're not on speaking terms, but respect each other's personal space.

A 'perfect scattering' of stars would imply a uniform distribution, a grid, for instance, rather than the random pattern we have now.

Nope, not claiming I don't believe in god because I can't see him. I can't see Australia, and I can't see magnetism. I don't believe in God because he's an outmoded concept with no evidence other than a book of ancient folk stories to support his existence. About the same level of proof for any other religion, in fact.

Oh, and I never claimed to think seriously about anything. Life's too short to go around being serious all the time.



Actually, I'm not too sure about Australia, now I come to think of it. It sounds made up too. Giant rats with pouches in their bellies? Beavers with duck's beaks that lay eggs? Give me a break.

Answer 6

Have you ever actually heard an atheist, when asked why he/she doesn't believe in your god, give as his/her only response "Well, I can't see Him"? Doubtful at best. That is what most people hear when they are told there is no evidence. Of course, as anyone with an elementary level education can tell you, sight is only one form of evidence.

Stars are not perfectly scattered. They do collide. In fact, there is evidence that our moon was formed when the earth collided with another large object in space when the solar system was forming.

You have a ton of learning to do to find answers to all of your questions. There are literally hundreds of books written on these subjects. Countless scientific papers have been submitted and reviewed, and they are open for your perusal. There are hundreds of college courses you can take that go into great detail on these subjects. It is up to you to decide how much you want to know. Posting questions about vastly complicated subjects on Y!A will not appease you. If you want answers to your questions, take the time and energy to find them. If you don't want to know, then don't post questions on here under the guise of interest. That is tantamount to lying. You're not a liar, are you?

Answer 7

I won't respond to your entire question, as people have already done a good job of it. I did want to address something specific:

>>And how do you explain all the stars not colliding, and are perfectly scattered across the sky?

You should know that the Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way are currently on a collision course.

Answer 8

Why do you think people who don't believe in the God that you believe in have given a reason that is NOT real? That seems like a naive question.

Religion and spirituality are very complex. All people are unique and have the right to have their own unique feelings about their own spirituality.

Perhaps if you explore more on religion in general, then you can see how "others" believe what they believe and why, and you won't have to be so critical of others here.

Answer 9

I was kicked out of sunday school when I was 12 for asking too many questions the preacher couldn't answer. I then met an atheist and realized I had a choice in whether or not I wanted to believe in a god. Before then I thought it was something I had to do. I never really believed in god in the first place but didn't say anything for fear of being persecuted.

Answer 10

Ok honestly, we have a pretty good understanding of physics now. We know why planets orbit other planets. We have telescopes powerful enough to see almost back to the big bang. We have telescopes to see the radiation left behind by the big bang. We know it happened. Planets collide, stars collide, ******* galaxies collide. The universe is expanding, so they have to be near each other to start orbiting each other and eventually collide... Who would've thought that gravity would eventually contradict God, right?

Now tell me, why do you believe in your God? Isn't the sole fact that there are multiple religions in the world enough to make a person skeptical?

Answer 11

Gravity explains every question you ask.

---------------

By its very definition, theism posits the existence of a deity which has in some way, shape, or form revealed itself to the universe. For such a revelation to be of any significance, there must be self-aware structures capable of free will. That is, these self-aware structures must be capable of producing some action in violation of causation, or for which there is no anticedent. If self-aware structures exist, but do not have free will, then the revelation is irrelevant.

Thus, the existence of any theistic deity must naturally and of necessity have the consequence of free-willed self-aware structures.

For free-will to exist, the self-aware structure must have some cognitive component which is non-tangible, and not subject to the principles of physics. Any tangible component is subject to physics, and thus violates the principle of non-causation. This principle of non-tangibility is, in psychology and philosophy, refered to as 'dualism'.

However, various studies have shown that without exception, every component of the mind and consciousness arises from the actions of the nervous system. These studies, in various ways, all involve selectively disabling portions of the brain or preventing communication between them -- split brain studies (where the corpus collosum has been cut or damaged), stroke victim studies (localized or regionalized brain death), and partial brain anasthesia. This establishes with high confidence, beyond reasonable doubt, that the mind is in fact monistic, or entirely tangible.

As stated, a free-willed mind must have a non-tangible component. Since the human mind has no non-tangible component, it is incapable of free will.

Since free will is a requirement of theism, theism is provably impossible, beyond any reasonable doubt.

This method of proof by modus tollens can be summarized:

[A Theistic Deity Exists] THEN [Free Will Exists].
NOT [Free Will Exists].
THEREFORE NOT [A Theistic Deity Exists].

Assign these as follows:

A = "A theistic deity exists."
B = "Free will exists."

Then the standard format is:

A⇒B.
¬B.
∴¬A.
