Top 5 questions against God or the Bible on science

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

There was a French scientist who when explaining the details of planetary motion to Napoleon was asked why he had not mentioned god during the explanation.
Laplace, for that was his name answered that he "had had no  need for that hypothesis".

That is also my answer to god and science, so far I have had no need for that hypothesis.

I like that story, mainly because it amuses me to think that the Emperor actual read Exposition du système du monde.

Five questions for your imaginary friend.

1. Does your imaginary friend's moral compass allign directly with yours ?

2. If your imaginary friend asked you to kill your child, would you question this request at all or would you instantly pull the trigger on your child like a mafia Hitman ?

3. When you talk to your imaginary friend, do you realize that you are talking to yourself ?

4. Can your imaginary friend give the correct answer to a question in which you don't know the correct answer ?

5. Why do you bother me with such a stupid post ?

Top 5 questions against God or the Bible on science

Hi,

As atheists, what would be the top 5 questions/critiques you would have for believers against God or the Bible within a scientific framework?

There is really only one question that needs to be asked. Can you demonstrate the existence of your god?

Unless you can answer this in the affirmative and provide such a demonstration, any further questions are futile.

To date, this is a feat that nobody has managed. I somehow doubt you will be the first to do so.

Hi,

Just one.

Why is God's existence necessary?

Actually, two I suppose: are we going to get answers to these questions, or will you just take them and leave?

He clearly statede that he has no interest in answers, just the questions themselves. Training up the next generation of William Lane Craigs I guess.

I think in the spirit of the question, many fundamentalists would affirm that the Bible is true in the literal sense, and that presents some problems when you compare it to modern scientific knowledge. If you hold that the Bible was authored, through human intermediaries, by an omniscient being with the intent of providing a literally true account, nearly every observation of the natural world that requires more than a face value assessment to be correct is just wrong.

The authors clearly did not know that the earth is roughly spherical and orbits the sun, or that the stars are other suns, or how heredity works, and so on. They had the current knowledge of their time, and they were wrong where you might expect an iron age agrarian culture to be wrong, and right when you would expect them to be right.

A case where the ancient Hebrews are often criticized is their biological taxonomical classifications, but there is simply no reason to expect them to be following a Linnaean classification system. What is translated as 'birds' in Hebrew is more like 'vertebrates that fly by flapping their wings' so it's no big deal that they lump bats and birds together. That's a matter of language, not science.

[Fake Messiah]

I guess you could start with the question:

1. What is God? I mean I've been always fascinated that Christians and other religious people believe in God and yet they don't have even a definition of what God is.

2. What is a soul? Similar as with God. They believe there is something in them and they don't even know what.

3. What is a miracle? Really, what would constitute a miracle.

4. How can we be sure about the resurrection? How do we know that resurrection happened? Are "we" supposed to just simply believe without any evidence?

5. Does Christianity make societies better? Do they think Christianity makes society better.

6. Why do some Christians do bad things in the name of Jesus?

7. Could they or any other human design a better world that God of the Bible supposedly did? Seems to me almost everyone could design far better world than the supposed God of the Bible.
