"Faith alone tells you there is a Creator. Common sense tells you there is a Creator." True or false? Why?

Question

Blue: I agree...

Answer 1

Romans 1:20, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world ARE CLEARLY SEEN, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"

Answer 2

common sense says that, nothing as complicated and precise, both scientifically and mathematically as the universe, earth and living creatures, could exist without a supremely intelligent designer and creator. Is it not true that material things that are complicated and effective have to be planned and designed by means of intelligence?
Why can't some people perceive that this is the only logical answer. All the other theories are ridiculous, can't be proved and insulting to human intelligence. We are too smart to think and believe this all happened just "because."
Look at all the magnificent things man has created here on earth. Why is not possible for there to be a supreme creator of all things? why is it easier to believe that we were at one time monkeys, or that there was a bang that started life to begin to roll. How is it illogical to believe that God has always existed and had no creator, but logical to believe that
the universe has always existed, and had no creator.

Answer 3

My common sense tells me that if one thing didn't need a creator (i.e. the Creator) then nothing does.

In fact, if a Creator existed, there would be thousands of rules and characteristics and forms of matter and energy that are necessary for the simple existence of the Creator that the Creator (obviously) could have had no hand in their existence.

Maybe my common sense is more advanced than other people, but my common sense tells me a Creator for EVERYTHING is a ridiculous idea.

Answer 4

Common sense tells you that if there were a creator, there also must be a creator of the creator. And so on. Common sense tells you the concept of a creator does not make sense at all.

Answer 5

The only Faith I know is this chick I went to high school with. She was an atheist. And Common Sense? Don't remember reading the phrase, "There is a Creator," anywhere in that book.

Answer 6

False.

Faith may tell you that there is a creator, but it also tells natives that human sacrifice is needed to avoid volcanic explosions. Faith told Hitler that the Jews were a subhuman race.

Common sense tells us that we should look for measurable evidence and test it before claiming there is a creator, or that human sacrifice is required to stop volcano's or that any race of human beings is subHuman.

It also tells us that if no evidence is found to support ideas and hypothesis like these, that we must reject them or at the least refrain from calling them 'truth' or 'fact' until evidence can be established.

Answer 7

False...

I could have faith that laundry gnomes live under my house and come up every night to steal my socks, but that doesn't mean it's true. People have total faith in a lot of ridiculous things.

And no, common sense tells you that there is NOT a magical being up in the clouds who snapped its fingers and created the earth six thousand years ago... going against everything the world has ever shown us through education, science, rational thought, or anything else.

Answer 8

False. I do not believe in a creator other than evolution. Common sense tells me this.

Answer 9

>Faith alone tells you there is a Creator.

False. Faith can 'tell' you anything, which from any rational standpoint is effectively the same as telling you absolutely nothing.

>Common sense tells you there is a Creator.

No, it doesn't. There are many, many things that point to the Universe not having been created for us by God, and honestly almost nothing that points the other way.

Answer 10

False. I don't have any faith in the concept of deities, and my common sense tells me the "creator concept" is illogical.
