These people drive me crazy, one faction claims there is no evidence, the other kind talks garbage and talks about evidence, but has none, and then there are millions worldwide who have evidence but are not heard, probably because of what I said yesterday. I don't get it worded right now, but it's really as if people who sit somewhere in the apartment and never go outside can impose their opinion on the world that there is no such thing as wind and storm. A look out of the window would be enough to see the proof, because leaves are flying around, but ok. The existence of a higher power, or even an ununderstood law of nature, is just as easy to recognize, actually. I really don't understand it, when the environment reacts accordingly, things happen that can no longer be a coincidence, then at some point you have to accept that there must be something. And that's all it is. For example, like the stories where someone suddenly gets a strange feeling without warning before the hundredth flight and doesn't get on the plane and then it crashes afterwards. Ok, that's not proof of God's existence, but it should be more than enough proof that there must be something. That's exactly the kind of thing I mean, coincidences that can't be coincidences anymore. It doesn't always have to be disasters, it can also be other things and there are more than enough stories in this direction. However, they are all ignored for whatever reason.

I have to correct myself a bit, the example with the plane crash doesn't describe what I mean. A few more things would have to be added to make it fit. In addition to the strange gut feeling, for example, something like this would have to be added. At the airport, the person wants to buy a newspaper or whatever, a couple of children playing, an old grandma or whatever bump into a shelf and a book falls out, one about a plane crash, while the person in question is just struggling with the strange feeling that something like this is going to happen. The person doesn't get in and then it happens. That's how it fits, I mean coincidences of this kind, which are too random and are characterized by the fact that several factors and living beings are involved. That's why I have a problem with the belief that God or whatever is not to be found in nature or the environment. Maybe you just don't realize it because the necessary awareness is simply not there in everyday life. In any case, I know such things from my life and also from that of others. For me, such a thing is proof enough, but it doesn't explain what it is. Not to mention that one could derive from this the assertion that it is a God who wants to say this and that, that would then only be interpretation and not law at all. Anyway, I mean that something is there and what it is is the question, not whether there is anything.

The sane don't need gaps. There are no gaps. Atheism is embarrassing. There's absolutely no rational atheist explanation for reality. 10 logical reasons why we can believe in God: 1. Order & design demand an intelligent mind. 2. The universe has a beginning; therefore the universe has cause. 3. Moral absolutes point to a moral law-giver. 4. Rational thinking points to the fact that we don’t come by the non-rational; we come from the rational. 5. God is the best explanation for the origin of the universe. 6. God is the best explanation for the fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life; thus, life can survive & thrive. 7. God is the best explanation for the objective moral values in the world. 8. God is the best explanation for the historical life, death and resurrection of Jesus. 9. God can be immediately known and experienced. 10. Because everything in the world /depletes/dissipates/goes only in one direction (bad to worse), an INITIAL set amount of energy and matter had to be created from NOTHING by top down production (GENESIS). EVERYTHING can only arrive by a source for EVERYTHING. It’s not possible that EVERYTHING can come from NOTHING by bottom up production. 10 logical reasons why we can’t believe in a Godless world: 1. Order, design and gain of complexity cannot arrive by disorder/entropy or a world that's only in break-down mode. 2. Nature had a beginning; therefore, the cause of nature transcends nature (supernatural). 3. Morality can’t be produced by anything of nature. 4. Nothing material can produce non-material entities (love, joy, peace, hate, ambition, jealousy, deceit, lust, etc., etc. 5. A Godless cause is impossible to be the cause of the origin of the universe. 6. By chance from NOTHING cannot possibly be the explanation for the hundreds of entities that all are fine-tuned so that life can survive & thrive. 7. Non-material morality is impossible to come from the material. 8. Nature can’t produce and manage the historical life, death and resurrection of Jesus. 9. Without God, humanity is totally lost & clueless regarding where humanity came from, where we are now and where we will wind up at our end. 10. Without GENESIS and due to entropy/break-down/disorder mode/heat death, FINITE NATURE (time/space/matter/energy) can’t be the cause/source of EVERYTHING via bottom up production from NOTHING.

Also it doesn't matter if current knowledge in science can't describe something, it doesn't mean in the future once we do better science it can't eventually explain it. Many things in the past were unexplainable, only to eventually be explained quite clearly as science improved. There is no reason the origin of life etc is any different. It's only in the last hundred years or so science and technology have gone parabolic.

@user-lb1ye1pv4q Known fantasy can't be the cause of this world. THIS JUST IN! Atheism lost. There is absolutely no POSSIBILITY of a GODLESS world. What? DO YOU SINCERELY BELIEVE that a mud puddle produced the human being? Yes! We see it all the time! Or was it star dust? Maybe moon dirt? And then a NEVER OBSERVED NATURAL CAUSE (e.g. star dust, moist rocks, mud puddles, hot rocks, moon dirt, warm ponds, gravity, oceans, primordial soup, nothing) produced ALL the many different independent structures that we find within the bodily systems that co-exist and are co-dependent (circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, digestive, endocrine, lymphatic, urinary, skeletal, nervous, muscular, body/skin) - all intertwined in co-relative order in the human body and THOSE SAME DESIGNED SYSTEMS seen in MILLIONS of other animals? And atheism thinks A MUD PUDDLE DID IT? So where did the mud puddle get the required MIND to not only create, but design all these systems, so that they all work together in harmony, so that life could not only survive and thrive, but reproduce? Atheism is further destroyed by the question, where did the LIFE, INTELLIGENCE, POWER, PURPOSE, RESOURCES & MEANS come from that are required to produce all these bodily systems? Especially, when all matter does nothing but increase in decay? NEVER has a gain in complexity/new information/evolution/gain of complexity been observed. That's because NOTHING of the atheist cult exists and certainly has never been observed (e.g. gain in complexity/new information/evolution/new anatomy) Even atheists claim that this world of FINITE NATURE (time/space/matter/energy) had a beginning (see below) and if you have a beginning, you have a beginner/cause/source of EVERYTHING we observe in the world. “Almost everyone now believes that the universe, and time itself, had a beginning at the Big Bang.”-Stephen W. Hawking and Roger Penrose, The Nature of Space and Time(Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1996), 20. Conclusion: This world had a beginning; thus, a beginner (God). Bottom up production of EVERYTHING from NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE. Only top down production (EVERYTHING from a source of EVERYTHING) is POSSIBLE. Those facts point to GENESIS and not moon dirt that came from nothing and produced the first cell with systems within to eat, digest food, eliminate waste, move, breathe & reproduce, NOT TO MENTION that same first cell also had the DNA blueprints of 9 million DIFFERENT species so that evolution could also come from NOTHING and diversify that DNA into the 9 million DIFFERENT animals that roam the earth. God is not only the only logical explanation for our world, but the only POSSIBLE explanation for our world. And that's by design. God knew if you actually did the research, you'd come to the truth (God, Creation, The Bible). God proved; atheism destroyed. FIN

Go live in an Islamic country and see the difference those claims, assertions and biblical quotes made. Like it or not Western civilisation is built on Christian Jewdeo principles. Requiring proof of everything is a double edged sword. Do you need proof every time you leave home you'll make it back again? I would put it to you to learn about the subjects first then decide if they fit into your world view. Stay open minded and informed.

He didn't. So it's not.

I remember seeing Dinesh in a debate many years ago and someone from the audience asked him something along the lines of "Do you think you would have the same beliefs you have now if you had been born somewhere else in the world and raised by different parents with a different belief system?". Dinesh's response was essentially that he was born in India which has at least 17 different religions as common and that against the odds he was raised as a Christian. His supporters in the audience applauded, not realizing that he only reinforced the questioner's point rather than explain his position. I read about a survey that was done in a Christian college once where the students were asked why people of a faith different from theirs would believe different things. Most people reasonably responded that they were brought up with that faith and accepted it without question because that's what children do: They accept what their parents say as the absolute truth. But here's the interesting part: When they were asked why *THEY* believe what they believe then it became, "Because it's the TRUE word of God!" etc. So they could see the simple explanation when it was someone ELSE but not when it was THEMSELVES.

I dont care if anybody believes in fairy tales - but I care a lot when folks start to use this fairy tale to deman social power as an institution - even law giving institution. Thats something that is often put aside in these discussions. But this is the core reason why we discuss it so intense.

This is where I part company with Dillahunty. I do not view belief and religious belief as the same thing, and belief in the sense of what I designate as a religious belief is not an epistemology. A religious belief is frozen in place and not subject to counter-evidence, because it forms a narrative and narratives are not subject to epistemologies. Hence, religious belief is highly susceptible to cognitive dissonance, because the narrative will typically win out over any other incoming information that threatens to undermine it.

As much as I would like to know everything, I am also content with a reasonable answer of "I don't know." Religion, no matter how enthusiastic the claim of knowing ultimately must admit to not knowing. Further, as millennia of scientific discoveries has proven is that supernatural explanations fall to natural explanations. The overall track record of proofs of natural phenomena only reinforces my trended belief that supernatural explanation is simply a place marker for a time when natural phenomena can be discovered. There may be natural phenomena that we will never fully understand, that does not mean such phenomena is supernatural.

However, there's no necessity for "evidence that God doesn't exist", because the burden of proof is on the claimant - which in general is the theist claiming that his god exists. *"[...] you’re acting on just as much as faith that He doesn’t as the believer who says He does."* Again, no. The Christian god as described violates the laws of logic, hence it being *entirely* rational to accept that he can't exist (again, the case may be different for other gods).

@@johngant3991 The christian God violates the laws of logic due to his described characteristics and the Problem of Evil not being reconcilable. Something being a logical impossibility is a pretty good reason to believe it doesn't exist. Like square circles.

Hilarious. You always ......ALWAYS.... know, right from the very first verbose, flowery sentence, that nothing even remotely like proof, or a logical argument, is going to appear. It'll always be the same crap about our "purpose" in life, the "reason" we're on the planet, etc, along with a few other greatest hits. Purpose is what each and every individual has to provide for themselves, to give their own life meaning, not rely on some unproven deity to provide some prescription that allows you to not be condemned to eternal torture. That's not purpose anyway, it's just groveling through life and trying to cheat the hangman.

I think the element that’s missing here in the definition of “knowing to a certain extent” is the principle of “extraordinary claims”. Most people don’t have firsthand knowledge of Papua New Guinea, but we believe it exists because we have a) a large pool of external data, but maybe more importantly b) no reason to think someone could make that up. Dillahunty mentions this (life altering fact), but I think there is a disproportionate significance between the supernatural and a geological feature of our flat planet.

I think God has decided not to give explicit proof. If there was proof free will to believe or not to believe would not exist. We must choose freely to believe. My personal experience convinces me God exists. I am convinced from the origin of the universe from the Big Bang. I am convinced by the New Testament accounts about Jesus. I am convinced that the historical accounts of the apostles dying for their faith are true. I know that people spreading lies will not sacrifice their lives rather than admit their lies.

“I think God has decided not to give explicit proof. If there was proof free will to believe or not to believe would not exist” First, how do you know what God decided? You said you “think” so. What make you think so? Additionally, you said if free will existed the choice to believe or not believe wouldn’t exist either. Wouldn’t that be coercive? Does God say “believe in me or else” or do you believe nonbelievers are saved in the name of Jesus too? You are running away from the most sensible conclusion because you don’t like what it implies about existence, and this is totally okay, but don’t project your spiritual weakness on anyone else. If God existed, I wouldn’t “believe” in him, because you don’t have to believe in something you can demonstrate to be true or real. Your personal experiences mean nothing when discussing truth. The truth is what the facts are, and you have no facts, evidence, or truths to what you believe. It is 100% what you _feel_ .

Whether or not freewill exists, people are not free to "choose" what they believe. I'm not in control of my belief that a God doesn't exist any more than I'm in control of my belief that chickens don't fly, or that 2+2=5. The big bang, the biblical stories, and a false dichotomy may well convince you, but it's not good enough for more sceptical minds. The big bang doesn't say anyting about what may or may not have "caused" the bang, and the majority of big bang cosmologists don't believe in a personal god. The biblical stories are just claims written down by non-eyewitnesses. There are additional possibilities besides telling lies and truths: Being wrong, being mislead, or delusional.
