Maynman:And the funny thing is theists don't give a fvck about the label. U dont believe in god, u r a doomed atheist. End of story. In fact, amongst christians here, if you don't belong to their sect or denom, you're an atheist. We see this especially between DTruthSpeaker and Maxindhouse 1 Like |

gisevak:A tree was once a seed. So in effects it wasn't created, it grew! Mountains too are results of volcanic activities, waves etc. They weren't created. So I don't know what you're yammering about |

gisevak:We probably evolved from unicellular organisms. About the origin of this unicellular, I don't know There are abounding evidence about evolution If you say stuff was created, u need to give evidence |

jaephoenix: I think people are just hesitant to say it all started and will end here. They keep holding out hope. I think life on earth started here and didn’t originate from anywhere else. Life is the result of the interaction between the sun and the earth with the moon also playing a role. The unicellular organisms originated here and evolved here. Look at trees for example, which are attached to the earth and a very much a part of the earth. They didn’t originate from anywhere and are the result of the earth and energy from the sun. Same goes for all life on earth. |

gisevak:We know how buildings come into place. Matter of fact, we have seen buildings being built and what's more, the building process is well documented. Do you know the process in creating a human? Have you seen a human created and what are the process of creating 'the first human'? |

jaephoenix: I don't usually shy away from the title "atheist", but for a lot of people, the word doesn't mean the same thing it means for me. To me, an atheist is someone who lacks the belief in a god/gods. A stunning number of other people see atheism as the claim that god/gods do not, and cannot exist. Because of that, I tend to identify as agnostic, to avoid the headache of people misrepresenting my position. 1 Like |

Dtruthspeaker:Lollest DTruthSpeaker! Are you saying 'the creator' postulated the laws of thermodynamics? Are you also aware some of these laws are flawed. Are you saying 'the creator' made flawed laws? Like I always tell you, stay away from scientific or philosophical discourses. You simply don't have the resources to engage in them |

Wilgrea7:Some people's gods are stones, water, tree etc, and they all exist. But if you are talking about monotheistic gods, then they only exist inside books that they were written on. Also, "god" is a title not a person, is like saying "does teacher exist" "teacher" does not exist, we have people that teach that are called teachers, same with this god, which "thing" are you calling a god that exist, what qualifies this "thing" to be a god? all theisitic religions have a specific name of their deity. 1 Like 1 Share |

Wilgrea7:Does lack of belief equate to denial of facts? Lemme break it down. If you say I as an atheist 'lack' belief in hsgdjc, are you saying there is actually evidence that hsgdjc exists but I simply lack such evidence? |

Maynman: Exactly... the word "god" is a title. I was referring more specifically to the title that tends to imply a sort of conscious higher being, or beings as the reason for the universe. |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by Wilgrea7(m): 4:57pm On Sep 20, 2023 |
jaephoenix: Not quite. I think it depends on the definition of hsgdjc.. in regard to god, the title, when most people use the word, they refer to some sort of higher human-like (for some reason) conscious being/beings responsible for creating or causing the universe. The issue with the claim of a god is that the information we would need to verify what exactly caused our universe lies outside the universe.. and that's even assuming there's an outside. we know our current universe began 14 billion years ago... or should I say expanded from its minute form via the big bang. The claims about a god/gods usually fall before that, for example, people may claim a god is the agent that created the infinitesimal point from which the universe emerged. Others may claim a god/gods is the reason why any sort of thing, be it things like inflation and whatnot would exist at all. Of course, there's no way to currently prove that, neither is there any sort of evidence to suggest that the universe was caused by such a thing... and as I've addressed in my thread on complexity, a god wouldn't really answer the question of why something exists rather than nothing. Also, when i use the word god in this context, I'm not referring to any specific religious deity, but rather the title and what it usually entails for most people in regard to the creation of the universe. |

Wilgrea7:"Conscious higher being" reeks of human Imagination. You can't have being without non being. Universe is a Being, If this higher BEING can exist, why can't universe which is BEING simply exist? 1 Like 1 Share |

jaephoenix: Only a mad people embark on journeys with no destination or end. Even philosophy has an end. Even Einstein identified 2 things that do not have an end. Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. Obviously by his statement human stupidity of pursuing endless philosophyings is even greater than the universe. |

jaephoenix: It is proven already. AS CONCERNING US AND OUR WORLD, THINGS DO NOT CREATE THEMSELVES.. THEY ARE ALWAYS CREATED AND BROUGHT INTO EXISTENCE BECAUSE A PERSON CREATED THEM. NO FURTHER REASONABLE QUERY AFTER THIS. |

jaephoenix: I am saying A Creator who has set how He wants His creations to be. jaephoenix: OFF Point! The topic ain't about "things you call flaws in law but about Creators and The Law that creations can never create themselves. So Off Point! Your philosophy is failure because again Law. THERE IS NO VALID ARGUMENT OR PHILOSOPHY AGAINST THE TRUTH! |
Re: How Do Atheists Address The Question Of Human Existence? by Dtruthspeaker: 4:25pm On Sep 22, 2023 |
jaephoenix: This is not entirely correct because. 1.) It is impossible to not believe in God and it is already long proven that those who are antiGod (atheist) are people who are simply antiGod because God stops and condemns them for all the evil they do and wish to do, among other reasons. So, it is clear that it is not that people do not believe in God, rather it is a refusal/vendetta to believe in God. As is proven people generally do not believe in aliens and shit but you don't see them crazily screaming even to point of resorting to lies in attack of those who support alienism. It is just a pure guilt ridden person who stoops to the denial of claiming unbelief in God. 2). And it is known that demons are evil doing spirits which jws anf Max and you atheists have been caught doing hence the call out. |
