KnownUnknown:Maybe you have any in the process of being created. We can all see the trees, humans and many more are creations. So what are you saying? |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by gisevak: 12:44pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
LordReed: Natural creations that include mountains, ecosystems, and even living organisms; Are this not evidence of creation to you? Or Are these not natural creations? You said creation didn't exist! Are you kidding yourself or someone else? |

KnownUnknown:Please explain to me the existence of humans. Do not deviate from the op position. |

Wilgrea7:OK! |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by LordReed(m): 4:00pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
gisevak: Where did I say "creation didn't exist"? No they are not evidence of creation since we know how they formed and there was no "creator" involved. Meanwhile you are yet to show how nature and it's laws are evidence of a creation. |

gisevak: You mean is the Earth natural. Sure, it is. |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by gisevak: 4:25pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
LordReed:Is the Earth a natural creation? |

gisevak: What does "natural creation" mean? 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by gisevak: 4:38pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
LordReed: Evidence refers to information, facts, data, or observations that support or justify a claim. So, by observation, we can say nature is evidence of creation. What is your definition of evidence? |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by gisevak: 4:44pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
LordReed:"Natural creation" typically refers to the process by which entities, or others come into existence through natural means. |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by LordReed(m): 5:29pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
gisevak: Still no. Our observations do not lend credence to the notion that nature was created. What our observations reveal is natural things in this universe come about by natural processes, not by the actions of a "creator". Evidence in addition to what you have said needs to show a claim to be true. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by LordReed(m): 5:31pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
gisevak: If we are only focused on natural means then yes according to your definition the Earth is a "natural creation". |

LordReed: A simple analogy is this: I saw a mansion at a place. And I couldn't see the builder. Does it just make sense to say there is no builder? Is it logical to conclude that the builder of such a mansion doesn't exist? What cause the natural process? |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by gisevak: 6:13pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
LordReed:See, I do not claim certainty about nonexistence of a creator or creators because i don't have enough facts to rejects its existence. Can you provide provide that fact? |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by LordReed(m): 6:22pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
gisevak: Dude you are the one making the claim, you need to show how nature and it's laws are evidence for a creation. You can't switch it and be asking me. |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by Dtruthspeaker: 6:30pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
LordReed: Simple. Because every reasonable person knows that Laws don't make themselves and they are made by A Creator who has set how He wants His creation to be. Everyone knows that! 2 Likes 1 Share |

gisevak: I know mansions have human builders because I have observed that and the evidence abounds therefore it is mundane to assume that any mansion I see was built by a human. However if the claim is there is a specific human who built this mansion or all mansions then we need evidence to substantiate such a claim. You have provided no evidence that some creator did anything and since we have not observed any creators creating any universes then the claim is not mundane enough to be assumed. You can't logic things into existence. Natural processes are caused by the interplay between matter and energy. |

Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by Dtruthspeaker: 6:46pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
LordReed: Yeah! And matter and so called "energy" are things which create themselves right? 2 Likes |

Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by Maynman: 8:18pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
sonmvayina:You need 5 sense organs to be conscious. When you are conscious you know. When you are not conscious you know, who is the "you" that knows it. Have you tried sub-conscious/unconscious, maybe look up carl jung, consciousness is just a little bit of the iceberg.

Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by LordReed(m): 8:20pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
gisevak: Every scientific principle and observation you can think of. |

Maynman: Consciousness is the main deal.... |

Maynman: Can you explain the picture you copied and pasted? |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by Maynman: 8:24pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
sonmvayina:Consciousness is the least. You cannot be conscious of what you don't know. |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by Maynman: 8:26pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
sonmvayina:You are not just conscious, you know that you are conscious. Look up carl jung for better explanation. |

LordReed:Is this proof or a joke? Is this a proof of what causes the natural process? So all scientific principles, according to you, such as Isaac Newton's first law of motion, started the natural process. 1 Like |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by LordReed(m): 10:33pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
gisevak: You asked me what causes natural processes, I said interaction of energy and matter. You then ask what proof I have of that and I responded with every scientific principle and observation. I never said scientific principles and observation are what cause natural processes rather they are proof that natural processes are a result of interaction between energy and matter. Get it? |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by LordReed(m): 10:35pm On Sep 18, 2023 |
gisevak: Still waiting for you to show how nature is evidence for creation. |

KnownUnknown: If you work into a production facility that is fully automated, observe as raw materials are processed and transformed to finished products, I am sure you would not walk away with the conclusion that the products are selfmade simply because no human facility operator is in sight. Consider the earth, with all the energy and materials in it, as being on auto mode for procreation and reproduction. Take a deeper look at various reproduction processes and the things involved. 1 Like 1 Share |
