The Theist's Logic Are Far More Superior by donnffd(m): 3:26pm On Aug 12, 2016 |
I dont know why Atheists here keep arguing with many theists, its a fruitless exercise, they obviously have a far more superior logic than you do here are a few: Atheist Logic : [s]it is possible for the universe to come out of Nothing[/s] Theist Logic : That's nonsense, something cannot come from Nothing, but God can come from Nothing and can create the universe from Nothing. Atheist Logic : [s]Life arose from organic chemistry from a process we dont understand yet[/s] Theist Logic : That's absolute nonsense, Life cannot come from Non-life, Life just appeared magically by the command of God Atheist Logic : [s]Humans evolved slowly from primitive animals[/s] Theist Logic : That's total Bulls crap, Where is the evidence?, No, Humans were formed magically from dust by the command of God. Atheist Logic : [s]Men mutated from Women, we all started female, and thats why men have two useless nipples.[/s] Theist Logic : Thats so illogical, Women were formed from one rib of a Man, that makes more sense and far more logical Atheist Logic : Theist Logic : That seems fair only if it corresponds with what some goat-herders wrote thousands of years ago. Atheist Logic : Theist Logic : Thats nonsense, There was originally no death(except for all other animals and plants and insects and pretty much all life), then man sinned against God, then we started dying like the rest of them...who can argue with that logic? Atheist Logic : [s]We had the ice-age a few thousand years ago[/s] Theist Logic : Thats nonsense, There was a global flood that killed the dinosaurs,mixed salt-water and fresh-water together, killed all life except for the once on a boat...Thats far more logical How can you win with such an impressive display of logical prowress? 19 Likes 8 Shares |

donnffd:I also dont know why atheists spend so much time trying to convince people not to believe in God. No single atheist has been able to outline the benefits of atheism over christianity, so why do they desperately want to take away the values of people who find happiness with God? Beats me really!! donnffd:Christian Logic: It has been proven that the universe had a beginning, the known dimensions of the universe include time and space. And these sprang into existence with the universe. Human, who are a product of the universe, absorb, reinforce and reflect within the CONFINES of time and space. What was in existence before time and space does not fit into the human brain. It cant even be called nothing. The human idea of nothing is a part of time and space. Whoever was acting before the universe began is not subject to time (timeless) and space. When something is timeless, it is eternal i.e no beginning, no end. To ask who created an eternal being is to assume that this being is confined by time. But we know time has a beginning. We are talking of a God before the beginning. An Eternal God. donnffd:Christian Logic : Life really cannot come from non-life, every scientific evidence has pointed us back to the fact that life can only come from pre-existing life forms. The existence of life and available evidence defies all known scientific theories attempting to prove its origin. It is rational enough to believe that life came from the Giver of life donnffd:Christian Logic: There is no evolutionary need to mutate into a man, because it has greatly lowered the reproductive capabilities and reduced the chances of survivability of our species. The lower life forms such as bacteria, viruses and protozoa that we supposedly evolved from are sexless and far more prolific. If they can reproduce by far simpler methods, why can’t we? If evolution is true, what went wrong? Also, before men allegedly mutated from women, how were the women reproducing, since they needed males to fertilize their eggs and ensure their continuity? It takes greater faith to believe in nonsense than sense. Christians believe that God created male and female beings, and each of these reproduces after their kinds. Bonus: Instead of calling the nipples useless, just say we dont know its importance yet, like you claimed in your second logic. Learning is an ongoing process, do not demonstrate infinite knowledge. donnffd:Christian Logic: The statement/conclusion that science is the best route to knowledge is in itself unscientific and unproven. It assumes that everything - from the universe, to human emotion, to spiritual experiences - is explainable through scientific research. To arrive at valid scientific conclusions: You 1. Figure out the problem 2. Research 3. Hypothesis 4. Experiment 5. Analyze results 6. Conclusions 7. Communicate results So we can see that such statement is a philosophical premise, not a scientific conclusion. The only way to definitively prove that science explains everything would be to have exhaustive knowledge of all reality, and then be able to explain (using only scientific data) what all reality is and what it means. Such a feat is impossible. Therefore, the belief that science is the best source of knowledge must be accepted on faith, since it cannot be verified through testing. Also we need to ask why knowledge better is than ignorance since nothing matters. Atheists may respond that if you believe wrong things or don’t know enough about your environment, you’re less likely to survive and flourish. But this explanation only applies to a small amount of scientific knowledge. There is little survival value in knowing, for example, the complicated workings of time-space theory, or the genus of certain insects, or the distance from Jupiter to Mars. All of these facts are pursued by scientists as being intrinsically valuable, yet they offer little information that can help guarantee a species’ continued existence. The real explanation is that scientists pursue these facts because there’s intrinsic value in knowing what’s true about the world, regardless of how much help it gives us. Human beings believe knowing is better than ignorance because they believe truth is better than falsity, and light is better than darkness. But where does such a conclusion come from? Not from scientific principles. Science itself offers no self-evident account for why it should be pursued. You cannot study science hard enough to understand why you should study science at all. To study science presupposes a valuing of truth that must be experienced outside of scientific study. It’s only rational to pursue scientific knowledge that doesn’t offer immediate survival value if there is some external, transcendent value in knowing truth. Christianity offers an explanation for why knowing truth is valuable. Atheism does not. If the material universe is all there was, is, and ever will be, then science itself is nothing more than a shot in the dark. If, however, human beings are the products of an infinitely greater mind, then we have justification for believing that true and false are valuable realities and not just delusions of cell bags crawling in a ball of dust floating somewhere in space. donnffd:Christian Logic: The universe cannot create us to live, suffer and die. It does not follow. Mindlessness does not create mind. There is a strain we feel everywhere, between the forces of ; Good and evil, Success and failure, Truth and err, Light and darkness and ultimately life and death. The contention of these forces are evident in our world. If death or any of those elements listed above is simply natural like everything, atheists wont contend with christians for the truth. Everyone seems to value truth even when some proclaim that the universe cares less about our truths or error. The atheists contention for the truth defies their claims of naturalistic purposelessness. If humans did not arise by any known natural process, its makes sense to disregard death as a natural process. donnffd:There is enough proof that there was a global flood. Reasonable people are somewhat slaves to proof. All available evidence points in the direction of a Creator. If you really believe the universe is all there is, the truth or falshood wont mean so much to you. donnffd:You want to win because you are fighting against your conscience. You may eventually win the fight. But it wont make you right. 5 Likes 4 Shares |

Richirich713:Either that, or that "God doesn't need a cause". Theists commit the special pleading fallacy when they claim that God can be uncaused but the universe, in whatever form (whether a singularity, or a dispersed, expanding universe like we have today), can not be uncaused. |
Re: The Theist's Logic Are Far More Superior by Richirich713: 7:34am On Aug 13, 2016 |
cloudgoddess: Obvious an eternal being doesn't need a cause, any theist will tell u that. The op just created a strawman to mock as if theists believed "God can come from nothing." cloudgoddess: It's no fallacy, the word "God" in traditional monotheism entails eternal existence with omnipotence, omniscience and omnibenenvence. Also since the op is referring specifically to the bible, he should have known that the bible claims God is uncreated and eternal. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

winner01: Yes, the universe had a beginning,but to assume that whatever started the universe was an eternal intelligent being is a very wild speculation. There are far more better explanations like it being a fluke accident in a 11-dimensional hyperspace, or two universes colliding, or even a mother universe spliting into half. How can you invoke intelligence where intelligence has no means of entering? Christian Logic : Life really cannot come from non-life, every scientific evidence has pointed us back to the fact that life can only come from pre-existing life forms. The existence of life and available evidence defies all known scientific theories attempting to prove its origin. It is rational enough to believe that life came from the Giver of life Stop playing a word game, Life came from non-life in the bible Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. KJV So you end up in the same position where the scientists are, the only difference is that you are fine that life formed from dust, while science is trying to get "the real truth", how organic chemistry would interact to create a self-duplicating system. [ b]Christian Logic[/b]: There is no evolutionary need to mutate into a man, because it has greatly lowered the reproductive capabilities and reduced the chances of survivability of our species. The lower life forms such as bacteria, viruses and protozoa that we supposedly evolved from are sexless and far more prolific. If they can reproduce by far simpler methods, why can’t we? If evolution is true, what went wrong? To clear things up, sexual reproduction first arose about 550 million years ago, so you can see why we know very little about its origins. Modern man didnt mutate from modern woman, thats a very silly thing to say, the idea is that male forms were the mutated sex, and it happened when reproduction was very simple, due to evolution, sexual organ have become more complex thus resulting to sex for reproduction. I do not demonstrate infinite knowledge but Evolution explains why men have tips, creationism does not, not just human tips, other primates also have tips, so it has to explain theirs too. I would be waiting... Christian Logic: The statement/conclusion that science is the best route to knowledge is in itself unscientific and unproven. We have had cilivilation for about 5000years prior to science, and where were we and then boom, science comes, and in just 500years, look what we know and what we have accomplished. If thats not evidence enough for you, then i dont know what else would suffice. Then your second part is alot of claims that doesnt hold any evidence for a creator. You asking why know the truth if its all for nothing is like asking why watch a movie if you know its all fake!, people watch movies, that doesnt mean there is a creator who imbed that in them, then why do you assume a creator for the former? Well acquiring knowledge has been part and parcel of human evolution, we are naturals at wanting to know, it must have been an evolutionary aid in the past, it has gotten stuck to us now and we are building on it like every other quality we got from evolution(love, laughter, sorrow, aggressiveness e.t.c) Christian Logic: The universe cannot create us to live, suffer and die. It does not follow. Mindlessness does not create mind. You cannot dictate what you want from the universe or not, the universe doesnt give a damn about what you want, its a brutal fact, your inability to comprehend that fact is why you are so religious and i get that but i would say and always say that it is better to accept reality for what it is than to have delusions no matter how reassuring they are. There is enough proof that there was a global flood. Reasonable people are somewhat slaves to proof. All available evidence points in the direction of a Creator. Where exactly is this enough proof? 3 Likes |

donnffd:Just look at your logic; 1. Fluke accident 2. accidental collision 3. Univers fission Are you this desperate? Can people see this. If I told you an airplane could come about by fluke, accident or fission of older metals, how will you react?. Is it not more logical to believe that a Creator created the airplane (which by the way, is far less complex than the universe). I dont know why you people are intentionally denying the obvious. This is why I prefer not to engage in discussions with you guys, its never about logic. donnffd:The Giver of life gave life. It takes wilful stubbornness not to see how powerful a Being who created such a vast universe could be. donnffd:You are no better scientist than I am, none of you is. Early and contemporary scientists perceived law in nature and law requires a law-giver and not strings of fluke. Acknowledging this fact is perfectly rational, and that is why they wanted to know and study HOW it was done. Rationalism which you people seek to hijack was started by theists. Rene Descateres was the first mordern rationalist, Sir Francis Bacon (the founder of applied science) inspired the mordern scientific attitude that favours skepticism, systematic observation and verification of claims by independent empirical observations, and many other theists. These are people who knew that Life was formed by God - the Life giver. Science is not meant to be based on fraternity as it is now but on truth, so when you use the phrase "Science is trying to get the real truth", these great and historically great scientists were theists who were trying to give answers for humanity. donnffd:What is all these ? How did you know sexual reproduction arose 550 million years ago? You see the bolded, Just tell us why the male forms had to mutate, tell us how the female forms were reproducing, tell us if we should be expecting another human mutation from men. How about other female life forms, did they also communicate to themselves to evolve male forms? Look, just stay in a quiet room and read the bolded aloud severally so you can hear how such nonsense sounds. Creationism birthed all the knowledge we know today and is still doing so, Evolution seeks to plant its feet in mordern science just because of its usefulness to atheism. www.nairaland.com/attachments/4074475_1387301510495911384241293982768562607971303n_jpege5d43f5f7a7163f958cfc9fe816203bf donnffd:Science does not come in. Theists usher in science. The science you cling to so desperately was founded and reinforced by theists. And these ones worshipped the greatest Scientist. Why then do you want me to join your band of angry atheists when some of greatest pioneers and acheivers of mordern science were theists ? donnffd:Movies are intelligently created and that is why people watch them. Movies did not arise by luck, accidents, fission or chance. People watch interesting movies because those movies were created. If the world didnt matter as you all say, you wont contend with me for the truth. donnffd:"It must have been" What is this , This is why you people dont need a logicak argument. You people just say anything to make yourselves feel better, right . donnffd:Lol. You want me to accept reality because you are sure of the totality of reality right? Cos you created reality right? Or maybe you're just emotionally insecure. If the universe does not give a damn, just relax and seek a good time before you perish. You do not need to spend your limited time dictating to other people to become what you're not. Remember not to judge other accidental bag of cells who wish to satisfy their fantacies by blowing up buildings or cracking open the heads of other accidental cell bags. Its what they wish to do with their few years on earth, the universe does not care anyway if you invent an airplane or blow up airplanes, and neither should you. donnffd:I can only come up with one at the moment, just look in the mirror. 3 Likes 1 Share |

4kings: His OP is suffused with logical fallacies and that's an inauspicious way to start an argument . First logical fallacy: Strawman . The OP falsely represented the views of Christians so that he could be able to refute them - very pathetic . Of course his fellow atheists who liked his posts are either oblivious to this or they want to give the post a semblance of it being logical . This would make the readers draw false conclusions or have a pejorative perception of views held by Christians on the subject Second logical fallacy : Shotgun argumentation . The OP presented so many arguments with the intent of overwhelming his opponent who would possibly not respond to all of them . Well winner01 did well by responding to all of them though they were fallacious . Observers would have thought we weren't capable of responding - a false conclusion or perception . Have you now seen why it is fallacious ? His second post is just him try to salvage something , nothing more than that . 1 Like 1 Share |

KingEbukasBlog: GBAM! Exactly! Religion is the main problem. You cannot have a problem with "God" because it doesn't exist. The concept of a "God" doesn't exist outside religion. "God" was created by religious men. If you say "God" is real I will ask you, which "God"? If you say YOUR "God" is real I will ask you, "what about the other 4,200 Gods?" If you say they are not real and yours is the realest, I will say "that is EXACTLY what they say about YOUR god" Do you get it? |
