The answer dawkins gives at the end is so simple but of course so obvious. People who buy into faith should understand how baseless their claims are :p

This is one of my favourite documentaries. I watch it when there's nothing else on.
Hoi Zaeme.

Does anyone else secretly love watching Christian documentaries for the laughs?

I primarily joined this forum so that I can communicate with other atheists and also to learn about other resources.
I am very limited in my knowledge about what is out there in terms of atheist stuff.
This was awesome.
I can't remember but what dvd was this from?
Haha.. hopefully I shall read really fast and be a smart jelly bean and have more selling books than Richard Dawkins.
I might need an english tutor though.. ROFL!

I just love it when the guy says "Why do you NOT believe it?". Because basically I think its such a stupid question considering what its regarding. Yet so many ask it. And they ask for disprove of God lol.
What about disprove of Zeus or the FSM?
I guess with some people its possible that it might be the first time they've ever asked an atheist that question. Lol!

I ask atheists for the disprove for God!
I am not atheist.
So, why did I join an atheist forum?
Most of the agnostics are too airey fairy for me.
..although i was atheist for much of the much of my life!
I act on a hunch or I simply believe what makes me happy.
I say that this is possibility..
and that this shows this and this..
but I cannot speak in knowledge.

The burden of proof is on the believer.
And,
For God to create something as complex and as fine-tuned as the universe he would have to be more complex and fine-tuned than the universe itself and an expert mathematician to say the least. God creates a much, much bigger problem than the one he solves.
The burden of proof is on the believer...so why ask for an atheist to disprove God?

Either a supernatural entity....or something very loosely defined? Some kind of metaphor or something? FOR something.
I mean you don't get this problem with other words so much do you? Like... what is pizza? What is ice cream? What is a sunflower?
I mean there's gotta be some kind of definition for God. Or its way too loose. Unless you want to be a pantheist or something....
Like Steven Weinberg said; if you can say God is energy...then you can find God in a lump of coal.
