Me and My Thoughts
#16
RE: Me and My Thoughts

Quote:Although I don't think that there is any hardcore evidence for the existence of God, I believe in Him mostly because of a kind of intuitive analysis by looking at the world around me, and I feel that there is some kind of an "intelligence" unfolding in the universe when I look at the beauty and complexity of the stars, planets, and almost everything else.
I can understand that. I would like to point out that we are so very small, so small even that to mountins we are nothing but dots. The universe is somewhat, very very large and will impress us with it's sheer size and beauty. Just because we are awe-struck by it doesn't mean that there has to be a god behind it. Nature brought about mountins, the beauty of life, rivers and oceans and had no outside assistance. Why can't everything else? Despite all the beauty of the cosmos, it is very deadly to us. Also the stars are so far away that it really makes it extremely hard for us to search out new worlds. Doesn't seem like the universe was made with us in mind. Wink

Remember, seeing paterns and beauty is proof of OUR intelligance. Not a greater intelligance.

Quote:Therefore, I don't feel that it's necessary for me to ground my belief in a God through concrete knowledge and evidence only.
I can't. Just because we see the beauty and wonder of the universe doesn't mean there has to be a god. Do take into consideration our size and the universe's size. It's going to impress us.
I will need verifiable evidence for a god. You are claiming that there is a very intelligent being out there who created all this and that is one epic claim that does need evidence for it be anywhere near credible.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
