How Long Will Christians Wait for the End Time to Come?
RE: How Long Will Christians Wait for the End Time to Come?
(August 30, 2015 at 1:54 pm)deep thinker Wrote: My point is quite simple.  Atheists always hide behind a single word when asked to state their beliefs with regards to the origin of matter/life.  Yes, atheism is not a defined belief system but that doesn't mean you, as a human being, are not capable of having an internal belief system as to the origin of matter. 

Why would I go out of my way to take a position on that topic, when we don't currently have evidence sufficient to confirming that position? If we don't have the requisite information then we don't know the answer, and that is the honest position to take; if we don't know, why should I consider myself obligated to take a position anyway?

Quote: Atheists always like to attack others for their belief system as it pertains to the origin of matter but they never like to talk about their own beliefs. 

There's a reason for that: those other belief systems lack evidence or justification, yet so often wish to dictate terms for how others live their lives. A belief system formed without evidence, in the absence of evidence, is worthy of attack. Delusions aren't something to be proud of, no matter how one comes across them.

Quote:Any belief you have, as it pertains to the origin of life, is not superior to the belief system of a Christian or any other person. 

It is if it's, you know, true. Or if it has evidence... which the christian belief system does not.

Quote:There is, and will never be, a natural or scientific explanation for the existence/creation of all matter. 

Oh yes? And how did you determine that?

Quote: Isn't it interesting we have the capability to think abstract about the origins of life yet we clearly lack the tools to ever answer the question?  We have not better answer today then we had 6,000 years ago.

Roll back the clock two hundred years and you could say the same thing about space travel, go back even further and you could say it about thunder and lightning. Your current ignorance is not an excuse to proclaim questions unanswerable. One thing history has shown us clearly is that it's never smart to bet against the future.

 
Quote: The big bang is nice theory expect there is absolutely no explanation for what created matter prior to the big bang.

How do you have a "prior" to the creation of time? Are you even listening to yourself when you talk?
