Best Theistic Arguments

[Little Rik]

No question yog and the reason is that I quite agree with you in this case.
I always knew that your head is capable of banging on the wall or any hard surface with little damage.
All those who have a thick head can do that.
Unfortunately for you a head full of brains is much much better than a thick head.
I guess you never though of that yog, did you?    

Unfortunately for you, I have brains, too.  Something you critically lack.

To have brain is one thing.
To have a brain that works properly is a different question and unfortunately you lack a good working brain.

Obviously you haven't read much of NDEs experiences or you do not believe them in any case.
If you would have you would have noticed that almost all of them talk about vibrations and how all is connected to each other.

You tried similar nonsense in the evolution thread and despite my patiently listening to you for two weeks, you failed to justify your belief that the content of NDEs reflect reality.  You want to believe that because [maybe] there is some evidence for the truth of the OBE part of an NDE, that therefore the rest of an NDE is also real.  Besides the fact that you've been presented with evidence that the OBE portion itself does not correspond with reality, you failed to provide justification for believing that the rest of it is true, for reasons running the gamut from irreconcilable NDE claims and testimony, the lack of independent verification, the cultural dependence of NDE content, the inability to distinguish from NDE content reflective of prior belief versus that reflective of reality, and your inability to justify your belief that consciousness leaves the body during an NDE.  You want to believe that because the OBE portion of an NDE may reflect reality, therefore the rest of an NDE is therefore necessarily true.  That's something you may want to believe, but not something you are justified in believing.  Wanting to believe is not justification for believing.

In addition, I'd have to see the evidence, but if all that people are doing in these NDEs is talking about everything being vibrations and everything being connected is not evidence that vibrations are alive.  That would be a case of ignoratio elenchi, nothing more.

So, yeah, failing you overcoming all these hurdles, you're on crack.

FAIL AGAIN YOG.

1) Evidence is there because people who experience these NDEs exist, and because real death and back from death were witnessed by real doctors and hospitals are also real where records are kept.
2) Vibrations are alive because NDEs are real and because these people experienced that vibrations connect all life and all life is made of vibrations.

WRONG ONCE AGAIN YOG.


So far there is no evidence that life can come from non life.
NONE OF WHATSOEVER.

Pointing to a lack of evidence of life coming from non-life is an argument from ignorance, and so your conclusion is not justified.  If all the evidence you have that life only comes from life is that no one has managed to produce life from non-life, then you have failed.  An argument from ignorance is neither evidence for, nor reason to believe, that life only comes from life.  In addition, there is evidence in favor of the proposition that life may come from non-life.  So this is you once again simply not understanding what it would take to demonstrate your claims, and, presenting evidence that, even if true, wouldn't demonstrate your claim.  That's ignoratio elenchi yet again.

If life come from non life please produce this evidence yog.
As I already said you could win a Nobel prize as well.

In fact all the evidence that we have so far point to.......LIFE COME FROM LIFE.

That life in some cases comes from life is not evidence for the proposition that life only comes from life.  The former does not necessarily entail the latter.

 

Not in some case yog.
In fact IN ALL CASES that we know.

In the past and even now many people thought that matter equal to no life.
Fortunately not all people are so stupid to believe that matter is void of life.
Matter is energy-vibration as yoga say and as Einstein and other smart scientists found out.  

As I just pointed out to you, matter and energy being vibration is not support for the belief that vibrations and energy are alive.  You keep conflating that everything is vibrations with the proposition that vibrations are alive, despite my continually pointing it out to you. Motherfucking Christ you are dense!

Atheists see a rock then automatically think......there is no life in it.

After this they have even the audacity to say that they believe in science but science contradict them from top to bottom.
Energy is there and where there is energy there is consciousness.
Consciousness and energy are expressed in vibration and vibrations got to be alive to express life within.

FAIL AGAIN YOG.

Wrong again yog.

You can not say.........I AM AN ATHEIST........and at the same time say....... haven't made a claim in the matter.
Of course you do made a claim.
By saying I AM AN ATHEIST you imply that life does not come from a creator therefore it must pop up from non life.
Well if you do not know where this non life is or exist at all then don't you find extremely foolish to speculate that there is no creator?
That is highly stupid view.   

Last I checked, "I don't know," is still a valid answer.  It disturbs you that I am skeptical of the claims of believers.  That however is not in itself the expression of a claim.  Given that there are a billion threads on this site explaining the range of options available to an atheist,  I suggest you read some of them as you are woefully ill informed as to what atheism does entail.  As I stated, I make no claim that life came from non-life, and remain agnostic on that question.  Feel free to consult a dictionary for the meaning of 'agnostic' if you must.  Moreover, even if I did have some inclinations toward one conclusion or another, those conclusions are based on reasons and evidence, and so are not merely dogma, but justified conclusions.  Regardless, I'm also willing to accept that there might be a certain amount of faith undergirding some of my beliefs.  I'm okay with that.  You on the other hand have repeatedly emphasized that you believe that all your beliefs are justified with good reasons and evidence, and that you have no beliefs that are based simply on dogma or merely "wanting to believe something is true."  It is these latter beliefs of yours which I am challenging.  Since I do not have a corresponding belief that all the things I believe are well justified, I have nothing to defend in the matter.  Thus ends any further consideration of what I believe about the four propositions listed earlier, and we return to you being the focus of this discussion.

That is a load of BS.
To say........I AM AN ATHEIST is a claim in itself.
The very dictionary that you are always so eager to point to it clearly say that atheism is lack of God so to say that there is no God is a clear statement that require evidence.
Evidence that exist only in your dreaming mind and not anywhere else.

Not at all yog.
I was quite happy with the EVOLUTION thread but because you gave up on that I am here now.
If you think I ever lie then show me where these lies are.

Here, here, and here, along with my demonstration and explanation why these are lies, here, here, and here, respectively.

Look here, look there but I still can not see any lies.  

Christian or not Christian religions put together so many dogmas and false truth that now it has become a mountain of nonsensical and absurd thing to waste one's time and energy to go through all of them beside in several occasions I already explained how the system according to yoga works.
Low form of life are driven by instinct while in human life the instinct is checked by free will so God in this case does not usually intervene and the karma law at the end will sort out the unbalance which has been created by humans.

I don't give a flying fuck what you think about Christianity, your beliefs about Christianity are irrelevant to the question.  It wouldn't matter if the view in question were Zippy the Pinhead's view of the cause of vibration, until you refute the possibility that the vibrations' motion is caused by an external God, then you are not justified in concluding that vibrations are necessarily alive.  This is yet another case of ignoratio elenchi where, not only is your argument wrong, even if it were right and correct, it wouldn't prove what you're trying to prove!  Not only can you not put together a successful argument, you appear to have no fucking clue what a successful argument would be.  You gave the same essential response in the evolution thread, when, after a month of flailing and failing to produce anything of substance, you concluded, "I don't like Christianity, therefore the Christian God doesn't exist.  Hurr durr!"  Can you be anymore stupid?  I didn't give up on that thread.  You failed.  And the level of stupidity in your responses was getting so high that even I with my stern constitution could no longer stomach it.

How the system works "according to yoga" is irrelevant if those beliefs are based on dogma.  You don't demonstrate one unproven thing by appealing to an equally unproven thing. (Dumbass.)

 


Too bad yog.
If you could not see any evidence that vibrations are alive that is your problem.
The problem also to be left in the stone age of knowledge plus the problem to admit the evidence because this would means a total failure in your atheistic philosophy.

Inorganic matter has life too.
The thing is that life in matter lie in a latent, inactive or dormant stage.
That dictionary unfortunately doesn't consider this point.
So wrong again yog.

Mrmph.  Well, that's what you're here to demonstrate.  Simply repeating dogma that you believe isn't justifying it.

And again, if you're appealing to a concept of non-life which doesn't exist in the system you are trying to prove, you are once again guilty of the fallacy of the stolen concept, your argument is thus self-contradictory and therefore self-refuting, and therefore your conclusions aren't justified.

Not contradictory at all yog.
Evolution clearly show that everything and everyone point to more and more evolution so one form of consciousness in the lower form of life turn into a more form of consciousness.
None is excluded.
Even matter want to escape her situation as seen in uranium and other miner that release energy.

Thought is vibration.
Emotion is vibration.
Feeling is vibration.

Check at 13.15 if you don't want to see all 24.29.

I did watch the whole video, and not a single bit of it supported your claim that vibrations are alive.  The bulk of the video claimed two things, a) everything is vibration, and b) thoughts, feelings, and emotions are vibrations.  Even if I accepted the latter proposition (I don't), that would not provide support for your belief that vibrations are alive.  It's possible that in the case of humans and animals, that their thoughts and feelings are vibrations, and that those vibrations can affect inanimate matter, it doesn't follow that the inanimate matter that is neither human nor animal is also alive.   Yet another case of ignoratio elenchi.

Obviously you are thick.
As you can see in that video emotions and feeling through vibrations clearly build a figure that show their state of being.
This is clear evidence that vibrations are alive.
Again too bad if you can't get it.
That is your problem.
A problem that if persist will surely will take you to total lost of mental balance.

So if we express thoughts, emotions and feeling they of course must be alive.
How can be dead?

Nobody is here disputing that we ourselves are alive.

 

If one is dead also the other is dead but because we know that feelings, emotions and thoughts are alive we also conclude that vibrations are alive.  

That simply doesn't follow, though if you believe it does, I think we may have pinpointed the reason you believe what you do.  You lack brain.  Do you have any evidence that you possess a brain?

I notice that you didn't bother to attempt to define life, non-life, or consciousness.  That's probably for the best, since it's obvious that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about when you use these words.  Any inchoate attempt on your part to make sense of your use of these words would probably only confuse things more.

You also neglected to provide any scientific evidence supporting these four beliefs of yours.  Congratulations.  You fail again.

(ETA:  Technically, your claim that if one is dead, the other is also dead is an unsound premise, not a non sequitur.)

Life is everything that exist.
Non life is nothing because there is no non life anywhere.
Consciousness is what everything is made of whether there is awareness of one existence or not.

Ok. now you can go back to your usual dreaming while I go to sleep (dreamless)
Ciao.
