- … that gravity on earth just happens to be the perfect value to allow humans to move freely, and never varies such that people become stuck in place or float into the atmosphere, wiping out humanity?
- … that the air quality on earth just happens to provide the perfect environment to sustain human life, never varying such that human beings become poisoned or suffocated, wiping out all humanity?
- … that the distance of the earth from the sun never varies such that all humanity either burns or freezes to death?
- … that atheists admit there are laws of nature, but deny there is anyone who created those laws?
- … that studies have been performed confirming that there is no place on earth where religion hasn't been practiced? Why do people have this built-in instinct?
- … that every person is born with a built-in knowledge that actions such as murder, suicide, theft, and deceit are wrong, without ever having to learn about this in school?
- … that every person that goes against this built-in knowledge (the natural law) also has a voice of conscience that rebukes him repeatedly that what he did was wrong? Where does this voice come from and why do we all have it?
- … that every person has a built-in desire to pursue the truth in matters, and to balance the scales of justice when they become imbalanced?
- … that every person instinctively begs God for help when death appears imminent, whether they previously learned to do this or not?
- … that men and women just happen to be created with a built in desire for one another?
- … that men and women just happen to have the built-in desire for self-preservation and procreation?
- … that there is an automated food chain across the globe that continuously maintains life?
- … that the human brain, a 3 pound piece of tissue, is the most complex computer found on the planet?
- … that the human heart can maintain life for over 100 years with its own mysterious source of energy?
- … that of the countless functions of the human body, if any of them were omitted or occurred in a different order, it would wipe out humanity?
- … that many atheists try to assert there is no God due to deaths in past wars, while they neglect to acknowledge the fact that 4.5 million people die of natural causes across the globe every MONTH (55 million per year)?
- … that atheists will become angry when these facts are pointed out in this forum post? This anger obviously stems from the atheist continuously fighting his own conscience as it repeatedly points out all of these facts.
- Isn't it funny that 99% of the universe is unsuitable for human life? As if it weren't created just for us!
- Kind of funny that a god would create arbitrary rules for how humans can survive, when he allegedly created it for us
- Kind of funny that we can't (yet) sustain life on other planets, despite there being several of them out there. One would think if there were a god, you wouldn't need the other planets.
- Laws of Nature are Scientific Laws. Not Laws that are written down. They are observations we make. This is how a natural world works. Not a supernatural world.
- Isn't it funny how they don't all have the same religion? One would think if everyone descended from the same three sons of Noah, that everyone would have the same religion. Funny how that works isn't it?
- Actually they aren't born with ANY built in Knowledge. So this is a failure. People have to be taught these things. If they were your bible would be fucking pointless.
- Also not true. Many people are sociopaths. People develop a conscience, and have different views on right and wrong.
- Everyone doesn't have a built in desire to seek truth. See: Yourself. You only see what you want to see.
- No, they don't. This is the old "No Atheists in Foxholes" myth. Which simply isn't true. What IS funny though is that so many people are certain of there being an afterlife, yet fear death. Almost as if they know their bullshit stinks.
- Not everyone has a built in desire for the opposite sex. Some people have a desire for the same sex relations. Just as we see in nature. Kind of funny how that works too, huh?
- Kind of funny that humans would want to preserve themselves when there's supposed to be an afterlife huh?
- Not really. A Food chain is a natural sequence. No gods required.
- Brains are nothing like computers. Also brains are fairly inefficient. A computer can give you the answer to (42898572485*498275452)/13+11/6) in less than a second. A human brain will take much longer.
- Not really mysterious at all.
- Funny how the Appendix is mostly useless, and can be removed without any real harm. And in fact if inflamed can kill you. Wonder why a 'creator' would create such a thing.
- Nobody asserts there's no god because of war. We assert there's no god because there is no evidence. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
- The anger stems from you failing to understand logic. It's like arguing with a brick wall. Ultimately pointless but we do it to pass the time.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
