God is Real

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Sorry, god didn't arrange it. He was busy rearranging my sock drawer that day.

[doorknob]

I just know in my heart that god is real. I can feel it. 

[Contemporary Protestant]

My evidence is the fact that they can't come up with a proper God definition. No science supports it. No trace can be found of it anywhere. Nobody seen it ever.
ZERO trace. ZERO proof. ZERO logic. ZERO sense.
There is absolutely NOTHING which points to any God ANYWHERE EVER.
The God hypothesis itself makes no sense.

Are you familiar with René Descartes, he is a fascinating fellow (I am not trying to argue with you, I'm literally asking, are you familiar with this philosopher)

If you believe in guided evolution, how do explain these rough numbers:

~99.9999% of the Universe is hard vacuum.
~99.9999% of what's left is flaming nuclear fireballs.
~99.9999% of what's left from that is cold interstellar gas.
~99.9999% of what's left from that is barren, airless balls of rock or gas giants, neither of which can sustain life.
~99.9999% of what's left from that is barely habitable planets like Mars.
Then we come to Earth.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

And, imagine the history of the Universe was one year. Humans appeared in the last minute of Dec. 31st. Why wait 31,535,999 minutes to create man?

I never claimed to be genius, I never claimed that God made Earth just for Humans to enjoy, all I claim to believe (on the topic of evolution) is that Genesis was a metaphor for Evolution. God made humans after he made a lot of other things, and we may not be his last creation.

is that the guy who sat in a stove for several months while there was a war going on and decided because he could "conceive" a god it therefore must exist? What, no unicorns back then? I can conceive Santa Claus...so......

It's cool if you want to believe that God is an evolutionist, but he's not going around magically creating beings. All life is a result of mind blowing natural processes.

[Contemporary Protestant]

I never said it just magically happened without a plan, I love science and think its fascinating, especially quantum process and the possibility of alternate realities

YES! Solitary

Please, don't try to give superstitious nonsense credibility by associating it with science, that is a back handed compliment to science. Science and religion will never come together, because one deals with reality, and the other deals with the supernatural and conjecture with no evidence what-so-ever to support it, just faith. Solitary

I respect what you are saying but I disagree, religion and science can be together, but only if people are well educated

If you mean that as in you can be a christian and a scientist, or a muslim and a scientist... Fair enough, it happens. It surely exists.
But this is accomplished, for as far as I know, by compartimentalisation of knowledge, something we in our Western society have gotten pretty darn good at. In other words you keep these mindsets, one of starting with the conclusion and trying to make the facts fit and the other of starting with the facts and trying to reach an unbiased conclusion, seperated. They don't mix. They are divided in our minds.

[Contemporary Protestant]

Thats exactly what I mean, the two are different, but not necessarily in opposition to each other
