Evidence for Christianity
RE: Evidence for Christianity
(February 9, 2011 at 2:20 am)lcd471357 Wrote: Your biggest mistake here is assuming that God, whom Christians believe is the creater of time, space, beginnings, matter, and all else that encompasses life, is nothing more than a guy with the capacity to do magic tricks, if nothing more than to float around above us forever.

God was not created for us. Just because you can't prove the existence of God tangibly does not mean he doesn't exist. Atheists base their beliefs solely on the propositions of science. They forget that science is a limited facility; science itself asserts that you cannot prove anything, merely theorize. Your opinions and assumptions are as provable as the ones of those who believe in God, so why do you think your beliefs are somehow superior? If nothing more, we should be contained to an equal platform of argument, for the purpose of argument's sake. Science has no room for the supernatural, and the existence of God is clearly outside the realm of science.

Atheists are content in the idea that just because science hasn't figured out an appropriate explanation for something, it's obviously still out there (such as how atheistic theories grounded in science contradict so many laws of its own platform, they're thrown to garbage; somehow they're ok with this, because it only shows that scientists haven't yet found the right answer). Yet, because a Christian cannot provide a person with tangible proof in the existence of God, our beliefs are thrown back in our faces. Just because you cannot see something does not mean it doesn't exist. Tired as that line has become to hear, people still seem to look past the infallible truth it indicates.

The idea that we, a product of creation, have any type of right to demand an account or explanation from our Creator is a grossly ignorant and selfish assumption. Did Thomas Edison have to justify himself to a light bulb? People need to get over this idea that we even have the CAPACITY to understand or find the answers to everything..

Which is tiresome that anyone keeps bringing these points up. It's not even just that god isn't provable through science, but also that there's no distinguishment between you or anyone's idea of god from anyone else's or even the idea that he doesn't exist. They're all the same. All of them have equal validity given that there are no indicating factors of any kind of there being 'infallible truth' or even the mere existance of this or any other similar being.

The fact that you can't prove god through science and because god hasn't proven himself through any other way just indicates that the idea of god - any god - is just as substantive as any other figment of our collective imaginations. As such, atheists tend to not believe in him for this reason - because there's no difference between belief in god and belief in any other god and belief in superhero comic book characters or any other fictional character.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
