Atheism leaves too much room for error.

[The_Truth]

Truth,

Nice rhetoric there, "...many atheists think they can 'disprove' god." and "Atheists are trying their hardest to prove a universal-negative." Neither of these statements has any basis in reality and they are just tools you are using to set up a straw man argument. The burden of proof is not on us and we all know that, ergo, we burn NO calories trying to "disprove god." On these forums we DO burn a lot of calories refuting arguments like yours:

Are you sure you have never witnessed an atheist say "I can prove there is no God"? I have met a ton of them that claim they have proof there is no such thing as God.

If god came from nothing why not save a step and just say the universe came from nothing.

No, that is untrue, and it holds no grounds for argument whatsoever. I'll explain.

The Bible claims "God is an eternal force". (in the book of Timothy). If you want the exact verses let me know.

The Bible claims "God formed the universe with things that cannot be seen". Modern science calls this things that cannot be seen, (atoms).
(In the book of Hebrews). Once again, if you want the exact verse. Let me know.

I doubt you know any atheists and you use the phrase "many atheists" to make it look like you HAVE talked to a good sample from our population but it is merely a rhetorical trick. I know of nobody who claims that "energy" created the universe because energy is part of the universe so that would be a circular argument.

Energy is eternal, because we cannot destroy an atom. Science also confirms the Universe had a beginning. Roughly 14.7 billion years ago. So, this would conclude the existence of God. Because nothing comes from nothing, and something cannot arise from nothing. It's proven science.

There I held myself back from just posting fart noises and random O'RLY owls. I'm sure Truth will have a scathingly brilliant retort at which time I WILL respond with the respect this thread deserves.

I love a good debate. Keep it fun and clean, and let's chat.

I do tend to get irritated at the atheists who claim, "atheists are good moral decent people", and within 20 posts, they are insulting me, calling me an idiot, a loser, delusional, a jesus-freak....

I'm like, whoa!!!! I thought you atheists were good moral decent human beings?

Some atheists online really make it look bad for the good guys. (atheists)

And I mean that sincerely.
