The kids at my Catholic school have leaned I'm an atheist, and are saying stuff like "Then how was the universe created? How did we get here? Prove god doesn't exist," and all this crap. How can I respond to this? (It doesn't need to be nice)
Easy mate, just answer honestly.
Quick example:
Quote:Then how was the universe created?
I do not know. No one knows.
Quote:How did we get here?Big bang - Abiogenisis - Evolution. Best explanation I can give with the support of science.
Quote:Prove god doesn't existProve FSM doesn't exist. Do that and I might try disproving god.
Or...you're claim, it's down to you to prove it. Atheists are not expected nor responsible to prove or disprove anything.
Quick counters are all thats needed. Even experianced theist debators would have trouble with such basic counters. Keep your head clear and don't back down.
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.
