This was proven obviously false because that which does not exist can't do anything, can't cause anything and can't split into anything. Nature always exhibits causation from something. So, the Bible "has been PROVEN true," has it? Must be why there's only one religion in the world and everyone adheres to it without question. Or, maybe it's just that MPCADF is a liar or an idiot or both. RE: Why I Don't Believe in Atheism

The burden of proof remains on the party who makes the claim. You sir, claim there's a god. Now you must prove it. Build your case. Provide a clear positive ontology for the being you identify as 'god'. Quote:We observe trillions of cause and effects in nature, and no hard evidence of something from nothing (that is, non-existence), so nature can't start up from nothing.No one is claiming here that reality came from nothing. No one except you, that is. Prove it. Quote:Therefore, nature needs a cause outside of itself, outside of time and space, being uncreated.SPECIAL PLEADING. Quote:since only one religion can be true since God does not contradict Himself.Another huge claim. Prove it then. Which man-cult is the true one? Quote:Prove it then. Which man-cult is the true one? The greek gods sound pretty cool, I've always liked Hades, I think I'll go worship him ![]()

It was hardly meant to claim a truth, but to highlight an alternate hypothesis. Rather, I should have said, "Read Lawrence Krauss, he ATTEMPTS to turn your nothing into something." At least there are dedicated physicists and cosmologists seeking the answers in the place of sitting on their hands and assuming "god did it". Let's hope to see better hypotheses in the future.
The gods offer no rewards for intellect. There was never one yet that showed any interest in it.

I'd refund it and report him to the mental health authorities. A fool and his money are soon parted, but the insane need to be sectioned. |
