Stephen Hawking: God was not needed to create the universe
#28
RE: Stephen Hawking: God was not needed to create the universe
Quote:John Lennox follows a preconceived religious dogma. He claims to be certain as a scientist that Hawking is wrong. He's full of shit. How about he explains why a god is needed without saying "it's in the Bible" and by the way Mr. Lennox, which one of the hundreds of gods created by man is needed?

You make a lot of assumptions in your sentence;

1. God was created by man
2. John Lennox cant think for himself
3. That he is full of shit

Care to back any of them up?

Quote:This is the problem. Since Lennox has already convinced himself there must be an invisible sky daddy manipulating everything, he will attribute every scientific discovery to this divine being even when it can be asserted that a divine force is completely irrelevant and in many cases contradictory to scientific findings.

I find this sentence remarkable. You attempt to use the expression, 'invisble sky daddy.' Clearly you dont know much about theology or Christianity for that matter.

How is a divine force irrelevant?

Is there much of a difference between atheists and creationists? Creationists conclude the world was created in 6 days because of x. Atheists conclude there is no God because of x.

Yet x may be proven wrong. We may find something new about physics or cosmology (Imagine that) so perhaps at this present time, the universe CAN be explained without God...so what? The universe is going to get more complicated. Just as Dawkins says, 'Cosomology is waiting for its Darwin.' We know squat about the universe, for any person (theists or atheist) to conclude God or no God started the universe, is silly. We dont know anything about our universe yet...

Quote:Oh really? I would love to see some of these archaeological findings and how they provide us with "powerful" evidence. It would be interesting to see what he can come up with to try and link some old ruins with his bullshit story.

Well, if you are being serious, N.T Wright is one of the leading experts in the Historicity of Jesus...

Quote:The argument for personal experience again. The human mind is known to be capable of producing powerful hallucinations. It provides no evidence for the existence of sky daddies.


Perhaps we shouldnt trust out mind then?

Quote:More spin and lies from Lennox.

Another Creationist arguement...Bravo.
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.

You dont hate God, you hate the church game.

"God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed." Saint Augustine

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
