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.

YOUR biggest mistake is assuming there is some invisible man in the sky watching everything you do every second of your life.

Quote:God was not created for us.

The concept of "God" was created by ignorant stone age people who couldn't explain the natural world around them. What caused thunder? God! What caused the tides? God! What caused earthquakes? God! Why did people get sick and die? God was punishing them!

"God" was an easy explanation for things ancient people couldn't possibly comprehend. So what's your excuse?


Quote:Just because you can't prove the existence of God tangibly does not mean he doesn't exist.

Are you really going to pull out this lame argument here?

Quote: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.

Science deals with reality. Religion deals with woo-woo.

Quote:If nothing more, we should be contained to an equal platform of argument, for the purpose of argument's sake.

I'm sure you think so. Would you also think that you should "be contained to an equal platform of argument" with a six year old who believes Santa Claus is real?

Quote:Science has no room for the supernatural, and the existence of God is clearly outside the realm of science.

Agreed.

Quote: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

Science has provided explanations for many, many things. These explanations have led to the development of medicines, computers, airplanes, medical procedures, space exploration, etc, etc... What has religion provided an explanation for that has improved our lives?

Quote:(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)

Examples?

Quote:Yet, because a Christian cannot provide a person with tangible proof in the existence of God, our beliefs are thrown back in our faces.

There are people who believe all sorts of weird shit. There are folks who genuinely believe space aliens are living among us. They can't prove it! But they're sure it's true! If one of these whackos was trying to convince you of this, would you accept it or would you throw it back in their face?

Quote:Just because you cannot see something does not mean it doesn't exist.

This is the second time you've dredged up this horrible argument.

Quote:Tired as that line has become to hear,

You don't have anything better?

Quote:people still seem to look past the infallible truth it indicates.

Yeah, people who accept unsubstantiated bullshit as fact.

Quote: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.

Typical mealy-mouthed platitude from an apologist who needs to explain why your deity never shows himself.

Quote:Did Thomas Edison have to justify himself to a light bulb?

Uh..... a light bulb is not a living thing.

Quote:People need to get over this idea that we even have the CAPACITY to understand or find the answers to everything..

People need to get over this idea that there's some all powerful deity who cares about us.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
