What makes someone think God isnt real? (Page 2)

IamEggman
IamEggman: If you believe in god, fair enough, that's your business. If you think god exists then that's different. What rational is there for thinking god exists, and why you think your chosen religion is correct.

Cygnus_X_1: Well Jack I have to say that my god really exists, and I can prove it. I can see her, I can touch her, she provides me with the essentials of life, and she does it for ever living creature that walk upon her. Our great creator the Earth. I don't need a build in which to praise her as I show my respect to her great wisdom by not destroying her with pollutants and crap. I think the Dead Kennedy's were right.....Jesus was a terrorist.

An0nymouse: Answering the 'Evolution is only a theory comment'. The earth revolving around the sun is only a 'theroy' too. Along with the 'Theory' of gravity.
You need to grab a dictionary and actually read the definition of what 'Theory' means.(And please go beyond Wiki). Theory does not automatically mean something is untrue.
Im always prepared for when those 'mischievious' creationists use the old Evolution is just a theory chestnut.
Evolution is a theory backed up by hundreds of years of research, experimentation, observable facts etc. While the creationist argument has absolutely no evidence whatsover that the universe and everything in it was 'designed' within a week.

xlittleRed: Well where did the idea of god come from in the first place?
To suddenly start putting faith into something you can't see, hear, touch, taste or smell. Holy moley humans are insecure. Whatever happened to believing in ourselves? The bunny rabbits don't have gods their pray to and worship. They just go about their business, making the bunny babies.

XFixYourBrainX: No matter what anyone says the so called lame idea for an excuse that, "Evolution" is real and that its a, "fact" is still only a theory, the, "facts" that prove Evolution is real, are only, "theoretical facts!" Basically Evolution is only a theory and I will say that all day!

flashie: science observes and records? so there are facts, the theory comes from explaining the findings.

im chirpy this week as my new flex is that evolution, scientific discovery and a supreme being that creates can all be true at the same time

LiptonCambell: I don't see how the support of evolution is the rejection of God- it certainly is the rejection of the bibles claims that all life that exists now always exists- but then again, even if we reject evolution there still would be serious doubts on this, such as the thousands of fossils we've found.

And we already reject some of the less scientific claims made by the bible- like the Sun orbiting the Earth

Nonetheless, it should be pointed out that Evolution doesn't even begin to address how life was created- rather evolution explains how life became so complex.

XFixYourBrainX: Fossils are fossils and thats all they will be! I like how scientists and paleontologists think they know what a dino looked like how it acted, what were its feeding habits, etc based off of looking at some bones. They are all guesses!

LiptonCambell: I dunno- Evolution predates Darwin. But why does the intention matter? If evolution is a good argument supported by evidence, its a good argument supported by evidence- the intent behind the person who first thought of it shouldn't matter.

And we know about dinosaurs from educated examination of their bones and remains, yes- alot of their eating habits can be discovered by things like teeth(sharp teeth is for tearing flesh, flat for shreading plants) and the way their body is set up(carnivores have claws and aggressive parts, while herbavories are more on the defensive)- and, of course, we've found fossilized dinoshit- so we can clearly see what they ate

XFixYourBrainX: if penguins were extinct and we knew nothing about them like we do today since they are alive, but figuratively speaking if they lived during the time of dinos, i guarantee scientists would say that they could fly just because they have wings. so just because a dino has sharp teeth and have agressive body parts doesnt mean they are.

Spirit One: I think the dinos were timid plant eating mammals ,the T-REX at the Smithsonian institute was found to have the incorrect head attatched to the rest of the skelleton, the correct one is from a plant eater , a rock was found in Peru near a fosilized Dino footprint that also had a modern man footprint fosilized inside of it , the rock had a carving of a Chieftain in head dress ,smoking a cermonial pipe while riding a Trycerotops Dino ,

XFixYourBrainX: Im just trying to figure out something. There must have come a time in every persons life where they decided to believe in God or not. When any person decides to not believe in God is there something that makes them want to find a belonging to. Or some kind of event in their life that happened to them to cause them to lose faith in God. Just throwing ideas out there.

ChutneyFerret: You still have absolutely no clue as to what the word 'theory' actually means do u?!
You also are an absolute imbecilic moron who believes in a dogma created by a bronze-age desert dwelling tribe. I actually think evolution is a beautiful and far more miraculous than anything ur vengeful, spiteful, sadistic, irrational, backwards-thinking diety could ever fart into existance.
And its also safe to say that u have no understanding of what evolution actually is. And ur ignorance would be hilarious if u didnt annoy me so.
I wish u would come forward and admit that ur a troll so i wouldnt have to reply to anymore of ur drivel filled comments.

Before u reply to this and try to debate with me, i beseech u first to look in any good dictionary (Wikipedia is not a dictionary) find out what the word theory actually means. Then do some actual research, actaually go to a library and check out some real books (the paper-kind) into what evolution is and how it happens (Kent Hovind doesnt count)...

LiptonCambell: >>>, i guarantee scientists would say that they could fly just because they have wings.

Odd thing- guarnteeing rthings you cannot possibly know for sure

Nonetheless, neither of us understands how paleontologists reach their conclusions- it may be as simple as seeing wings and assuming they can fly- but it could be something more. Neither us of actually know, so its kinda redudant to the two of us to go "they do things this way or that way", cause all we know is they have access to fossilized remains and various tools and methods for judging them, and to understand how they reach their conclusions we must rather learn their methods- not cast their methods aside because it doesn't support our preconceived conclusions

>>>so just because a dino has sharp teeth and have agressive body parts doesnt mean they are.

What.....exactly....are you arguing here?

>>>When any person decides to not believe in God is there something that makes them want to find a belonging to. Or some kind of event in their life that happened to them to cause them to lose faith in God.

Does it have to be about faith? Couldn't it be about crediblity?

ChutneyFerret: So because it hasn't been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt and because everything could not have spawned from nothing. Therefore creationism is correct, because it makes far more sense that an omnipotent super human created everything from nothing 6000 years ago by talking, and everything was already finished in that instant, including life, and this is all proven true because it was in a book written by people who where raving mad from syphilis and wigging out on spoiled grain. Evolution is well acknowledged as a scientific fact, even by most christ lovers. Creationists, however, would bathe in their own shit if the Bible or Kent Hovind told them to do so.
