Atheism the unscientific belief (part one, two, and three)
RE: Atheism. The unscientific belief. (part three)
I've been saying that all along. But people like a chew toy.

I said that we and the universe got the same elements such as matter, water, energy, air and space
therefore we both are bodies but a body doesn't necessary have to be made of flesh as us humans.  Lightbulb

Of course not. Some bodies are made from the scraps of poorly formed analogies. Dodgy

Therefore the "body" of the Universe doesn't necessarily require a mind. You just burned your own strawman.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Wrong again Stim.
NDEs tell us that the consciousness can be there without a body.
The mind doesn't necessary need a body but a body to exist need a mind.  Lightbulb
Logic

Now we're back to your ludicrous and debunked assertions which don't even mention anything about "Universe". Stick that sign up your arse, along with your condescension - you have no idea what logic even is.

So let me get this straight...because the Universe contains matter and our bodies contain matter, the Universe must be conscious? Is that really what you're saying?
That is ludicrous, and you are an ignoramus.


Stop it there beanie.
You already perform your clown show in the local market.
Now you are home so act like a normal human being if you can.
1) The universe and we human are made not only of matter but also of water, energy, air and space.
2) The universe and our body can not possibly be conscious really.
It is we that we are conscious and therefore it make sense that also the mind behind the universe is conscious.
Atheism never came up with solid evidence that the universe can run itself and therefore it make sense to opt for the theory that make more sense which is that a body need a mind to run it.  Lightbulb

1) Water and air are both types of matter, shit-stick.

2) More gibberish, like always.


For one thing, you're presuming there's a "mind behind the Universe," even though there's no evidence of that.


For another, Atheism isn't responsible for finding evidence of anything; science, on the other hand, has plenty of evidence to demonstrate that natural processes are automatic and do not require the intervention of a deity, mind, or anything else.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

Let us talk about the universe.
Atheists in general think that the universe can do without a mind or God but wait a minute guys.
The universe has got what we also humans got.
It has matter, water, heat-light-energy, air and space.
We, beside our body also got a mind and a consciousness so why this universal body should also not have
a mind and consciousness that control it?
Have you ever seen a body alive without a head?  Shifty
Even a zombie got a head (whether it works is a different story) but a head-mind-consciousness is there anyway wherever there is a body.
So, just guess what this controlling mind suppose to be?
You never thought about it, did you guys?  I'm all ears!

WTF?! Why don't you go do some research on that question of
whether or not zombie heads work, and come back to us as soon as you have found the answer.

You really are getting desperate, aren't you?

Your latest is one of the most obviously flawed analogies I think I've ever read. Just because 2 things being compared have some similarities, does not mean you can come to any sort of conclusion about what other things they may have in common.

A pond full of dirty water has matter, water, heat-light-energy, air and space, just like the universe has. A pond full of dirty water does not have a head (or consciousness). Therefore, the universe doesn't either. See, I just proved that there is no mind controlling the universe.

Here is a term you may want to look into, and use from time to time, "critical thinking".

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

The elements aren't arranged in the same way as in a human so they don't function like a human.

You don't establish truths by making bad analogies.


Look at this yogini..........There are actually many aspects and attributes between the universe and the human body.


Did you not read what I wrote? Let me repeat it for you since you seem to be deaf.

The body may be like the universe in many ways, but unlike it in the ways that you are analogizing it has a mind. That is the problem with analogies as proofs of things: you can't tell from the analogy whether or not the analogy holds with respect to the characteristic in question. Your pointing out that the universe is like the body in some ways is not evidence that the universe is like a body in all ways, and in particular, in the specific way that the body has a mind. This is why your entire argument for the universe having a mind fails. In addition you are engaged in cherry picking the ways that your analogy applies. If the analogy is intended to extend to unknowns like the universe having a mind, you're not free to pick and choose the ways in which the body and universe are alike. It's an all or nothing deal, and your cherry picking makes it another failure.

On top of that, there are many bodies without minds; they are dead. How do you know the universe is not also like a dead body, with no mind? You don't. You again cherry picked which types of bodies applied to your analogy. Again you fail.

While we're busy chatting, what is it with you and all the condescension? You've told me that I'm not spiritually wise person because I am not humble. If that's the hallmark of a spiritually wise person, then your constant insults mark you as a complete spiritual ignoramus. So what's with all the insults?
