Newton said there are seven distinct colours in the spectrum, so that it fitted his Alchemist theories. Don't trust question!

The concept of god is a silly one and I try not to live by silly ideas.

Well since never having a god in my life, I can say it would not make any difference. I have been contently godless all my live and don't plan on getting one.

Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Not really sure how I'm supposed to answer this, I just don't get the question. Undecided

It's not that I don't have any concept of gods. I can conceptualize the attributes of many gods.

I just don't believe any god exists.

I didn't grow up very religious, although later on I did explore it. But I have several atheist friends that grew up as believers. They universally say they are much more ethical people after giving up their "forgiveness by proxy" beliefs.

Quote:what about the famous quote of (sorry do not remember its newton)'' WATCHING THE WHOLE ORGANIZED SYSTEM IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE I WILL HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS SOME ONE WHO IS MANAGING IT''

Fallacy - Argument from authority. Just because Newton was an expert in physics, doesn't mean he is an expert on the existence of a god.

You wouldn't take your car to a baker to fix the transmission, right?

If it was Newton, so what? First of all he believed the universe was like a giant clock work. Quantum physics pretty much blew that concept out of the water.

Newton also had beliefs in alchemy, fortune telling and other supernatural beliefs. He wrote more on those subjects than on science. Should we give those other beliefs any credibility because it was Newton? I'm willing to bet you don't.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
