That would be more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

I can just see you getting banned off from there in under 5 posts =)

i dont even know why im arguing, im agonstic to begin with.

fine, ill do an experiment, ill ask my mom if she loves me.... lets say she says yes... based on past experiments of asking my mom questions, i can assume that what she tells me is true.

theres some evidence.... from that i can conclude she loves me
and of course evidence can disprove other evidence, so until i see evidence to disprove my evidence that she loves me, ill continue to believe, based on my experiment above, that my mom loves me..


there.. theres my proof

It's not really proof, its jsut evidence towards a hypothesis. You can't PROVE your mother loves you.


a scientific proof is based on inferences, hypothesis, observations, and scientific laws

my proof is based on all of those...
i have proof my mom loves me.. :)

I'll ask her when I see her tonight.

How does that prove it though. Its nor proof of the existence of love, its just your mother telling you she loves you. How can you be sure she is telling the truth. If you asked a random person whether THEY loved you and they said yes everytime, does that mean they love you?

That's it, there are no scientific laws when it comes to love. You are simply gathering observations that tends to lead to the conclusion that your mother loves you. Let me give you an example.

Fermat's Enigma. a^n+b^n=c^n is not true for N>2

You can plug in a crap load of numbers and it will all not true. But the proof took over a hundred years because people could never be sure. Just because you can find loads of evidence, doesn't mean you proved anything.

throughout my life, ive asked my mom many questions.... id say 99% of the time, they are true
and of course i have found out later on they are true, depending on the question

from past experiments of asking questions to my mom, chances are that the next experiment is still going to prove true

The way I love women is not the same way I love my dog. Love has a lot of meanings. Most of the time, it's proven through action.

still.. no one has posted evidence in god existing... you just give stupid analogies that make no sense and are so easily refuted
Your religion can be as easily "refuted", if you ask me. But I don't go around criticizing your beliefs, do I?

So your scientific ironclad proof is now based on "chance"?

Just like your posts, right? ;)

his wording may be inappropriate but its still true :)


So YOU say......

if you know differently, give proof in god...

saying "prove there is no god" does not give you evidence/proof in god...

give me one scientific fact that proves in god and ill send you $100

Assume that I never tasted salt before. Now try to explain to me what salt tastes like exactly. That's like me trying to prove that I know God exists to you.


regardless of the taste, i can still scientifically prove salt exists... im not asking how god tastes... your analogy doesn't fit.

I think what hes trying to say is that knowing God exists is not based on scientitifc proof, but something you feel. And since you've never felt that, its not possible to explain it to you. LIke explaining color to a blind person

why do you feel god exists yet you have no proof... there are people out in this world that are so religious and believe in so much of the devil and hell that they change their way or life so much.. and why? cause you have a feeling? thats a stupid reason...

no proof = no reason to believe

Well do you believe your mother loves you? Scientifically there shouldn't even be a thing as love, just instinct to protect offspring. Do you honestly believe thats all your mother feels for you? Somethings you can't prove, its why its called faith.

i dont even know why im arguing, im agonstic to begin with.


But your description about love is a good one though.

Point being, that if a person who thinks people who believe in God are in error then
why doesn't that person just smile to themselves and say "they sure are wrong, they are
crazy or whatever" when they read any thread that remotely appears to have ANYTHING
about religion or faith or God in it instead of posting "There is NO God, you are stupid, etc....".

If you choose not to believe that's fine. If I chose to believe it "should" be fine too.

After all, the visable proof that the unbelievers want to see will either be seen or not
seen after death and nobody is coming back and talking from there as far as I know :)

I have to say, spending a year at Duke with a bunch of Christians really broadened my views. Not to say im converted, but im much more open minded

no reason to believe in god when there is no scientific proof

throughout this whole thread, no one has proved in gods existence, since there is no proof

trying to make stupid analogies to talk about love or math equations still does not dispute the fact that THERE IS NO PROOF GOD EXISTS



fine... lock the thread.. im done with my posts
