Q's from a theist
#38
RE: Q's from a theist
1. What is the predominate belief of your family and friends?
---My friends and family don't have a religion. But believe in the supernatural big time. They primarily follow the beliefs of Sylvia Browne
which (according to Ms.Browne most atheist are dark entities -_-)
2. What is your general location? (If U.S. please use northwest, northeast, etc.)
Northeastern America. Pennsylvania to be specific. 30 minutes away from Pittsburgh to be more specific.
3. Have you changed your beliefs in the past?
I use to be a theist until I as around 13. Then I turned into an agnostic who doubted a god although I was highly
obsessed with New age beliefs.
4. What is your highest level of education?
10th grade education. I'm only 16.
Cosmology/Physics:
5. Many people have argued that the “big bang” implies a finite universe. Some people (myself included) believe that a finite universe tends to have more theistic leanings. How would you respond to this?
I highly believe we are just one finite universe in a bunch of universes. I don't see how the belief in a finite universe
has more theistic beliefs though.
6. If you have not already answered above- do you believe in a finite or eternal universe?
~Answered above~ Smile
7. How would you respond to the fine tuning argument?
It's just a desperate attempt to make the impossible seem likely. Anyone can throw some scientific words into
an illogical idea and make it sounds reasonable.
Biology:
8. Do you believe in IDT (Intelligent Design Theory), TOE (Theory of Evolution), or other? (Seems like a weird question but there are some atheists that believe that we were designed by aliens)
I believe in TOE, I always have even when I believed in god. I see no reason to otherwise.
9. Based on the question above, what would you say are the general points that back up your belief in this?
Fossil records, scientific evidence.
10. How does a belief in [response above] relate to an atheist/agnostic belief?
For me personally it doesn't relate to my atheist beliefs. As I said before I believed and accepted
evolution as fact when I was a strong theist.

Other:
11. Do you believe that morals are relative/preference? Please Explain
Morals are basically tattooed into us for survival reasons.
12. Is your belief partly due to something that you may not be able to explain to others?
I don't think I can explain it. I just know whats right and wrong from common sense and
my own personal morals based on logic.Ex. If I saw a cow being killed I would cry since I
know it's sad. I don't have a God or magical deity telling me it is. I just know.
