KingEbukasBlog: This is the problem you have. You seem to be afraid of uncertainty, so you are quick to hang on to whatever answer gives you comfort. The God hypothesis completely fails the Occam's Razor test by postulating an entity with attributes that are borne from within the universe that it supposedly created. I didn't know that your faith was based on humanity's current scientific ignorance. Isn't that what we can god of the gaps argument? All you've confirmed is that you pretend to know things that you don't know. We may very well exist in a multiverse and the universe may not have had a beginning since time didn't exist before the Big Bang but those are just hypotheses (not theories, like you erroneously called them). Nobody hooks on to them dogmatically. I'm sorry that I don't know the origins of our universe but the truth is that nobody does. We just have a lot of people who pretend to, which is what you're doing now. 2 Likes 1 Share |

hopefulLandlord:Nairaland atheists triggered my quest for truth, and I'm so glad being able to see things clearly the way it is at a young age I never knew at a stage I will doubt the existence of God, even at my earlier times of searching, I was eventually a victim of some certain circumstances, but 2day I found out it was programmed only in the mind. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

HardMirror: That's why I described it as intellectual-sounding sophistry. His arguments look good from far but are in fact, far from good. Almost like every single argument for the existence of God'. |

CoolUsername: Rejecting the existence of God seems to give you comfort apparently . You seem to be afraid of God's existence , so you are quick to reject His existence because it gives you comfort. The God hypothesis completely fails the Occam's Razor test by postulating an entity with attributes that are borne from within the universe that it supposedly created. If you think the "God hypothesis" failed Occam's razor then multiverse cosmology raped and violated it . But you are quick to embrace it List these attributes . Let's scrutinize them . I didn't know that your faith was based on humanity's current scientific ignorance. I didn't know your rejection of God's existence was based on humanity's current scientific ignorance Isn't that what we can god of the gaps argument? God of the gaps arguments ? What then is I don't know but its not God arguments called ? Not-God of the gaps argument All you've confirmed is that you pretend to know things that you don't know. And you pretend like you know there is no God . We may very well exist in a multiverse and the universe may not have had a beginning since time didn't exist before the Big Bang but those are just hypotheses (not theories, like you erroneously called them). Nobody hooks on to them dogmatically. Lawrence Krauss was certain of his knowledge of the universe's beginning . He claimed in his book 'Universe from Nothing' that he has answered the question : Why does something rather than exist . Sean Carroll seems to be certain that his model for is more likely to be possible than the existence of God . yet he has no shred of evidence I'm sorry that I don't know the origins of our universe but the truth is that nobody does. We just have a lot of people who pretend to, which is what you're doing now. I don't know why this is difficult for you and your ilks to understand. You can't be an atheist -one who rejects the existence of a cosmic designer- and then claim that you don't know . You don't know but its not God . Is that the Not-God of the gaps argument ? 3 Likes 4 Shares |

KingEbukasBlog: The fact that nobody has a clear picture of the beginning of the universe doesn't mean that it isn't very unlikely that God exists. It also doesn't make it as plausible as a cyclical universe or a multiverse or whatever. The God hypothesis is closer in probability to the Flying Spaghetti Monster than it is to any of the modern hypotheses that scientists have talked about. You asked about the attributes of God that make it so improbable. I'll list them: - Consciousness - Intelligence - Will These are the attributes that evolved over eons within our material universe. It is wishful thinking at best to give these three attributes to the the universe precursor. That is why atheism (agnostic atheism, which is the stance of most atheists, you don't have to be obtuse about this, I know you know) is orders of magnitude more logical than theism. It doesn't pretend to know things that it doesn't know. 1 Like |

You are the biggest liar here, Hardmirror, with your mindbloggling fables. Anyone with the time and inclination can go through your excessively long thread of fantastic tall tales to see for themselves. I have neither. Me I don't want my eyes to glaze over

He said he once raised a dead person back to life. He also said he once healed a nairaland member with HIV through the phone, when challenge he ran.away like a thieving rat.

CoolUsername: I was expecting something much better . So you mean the cosmic designer shouldn't be conscious intelligent and able to express Its freedom of will ? The cosmic designer is conscious and intelligent as an incredibly simple umembodied mind [immaterial body]. Only in our universe can minds be embodied . Being conscious makes It self aware , aware that It is eternal , self existent , self sufficient ; It is aware of everything minute even picayune details of any activity that goes on in and outside the universe etc . Being intelligent makes it possible to create complex systems like the universe and everything in it Example : Minds with material bodies like humans that can think and express freedom of will like It does . Will makes it possible for God to create the universe and in any possible way . I.e if God had to chosen to create a 5 dimensional universe It would have done so . Your response would have made sense if the cosmic designer was said to have these attributes while possessing a material body. These are the attributes that evolved over eons within our material universe. It is wishful thinking at best to give these three attributes to the the universe precursor. Very shallow thinking . If the precursor of the universe cannot be intelligent , conscious and express freedom of will then it would be impossible for the universe or any other complex systems such as the multiverse to exist . That is why atheism (agnostic atheism, which is the stance of most atheists, you don't have to be obtuse about this, I know you know) is orders of magnitude more logical than theism. It doesn't pretend to know things that it doesn't know. Agnostic atheism is fallacious . It is an appeal to ignorance fallacy . There is nothing logical about a fallacy . There is no God because there is no evidence for God or it has not found one yet so it leans towards the non existence of God . That's why there's 'atheism' [rejection of the existence of God] attached to it . Again , if you reject the existence of a creator , how can you rely on a brain that you believe came from random unguided process to elicit rational thoughts and acknowledge the existence of God if it finds one . Isn't that irrational ? Atheism : In the beginning , there was nothing ; Now we have everything including intelligent conscious mind that can express will . Atheism has to be only for the retardedd honestly . |

Ishilove:Same old tactics. List the lies, you can't. I provided several names all my claims where backed with names location and those involved. Reaching on the day of the dumb boy's healing Dr Adedeji showed up on 4everGod's thread, I asked him to ask his dad about the outreach to ajabuto, he has refused to get back on the issue. What about the life Oasis brother that claimed he knew me in the church but said all I was after was title in the church, he never denied my claim title in the church (obviosly jealous he had not achieved what I achieved). What about azo? What about ASF ? Why are members of the fellowship calling me but refusing to comment on nairaland? Lol they are afraid their beloved brother is now an athiest and they know commenting will only drag the fellowship in the mud, or do you think they are not aware of the thread? Lol. The news had sp and that is why caccf bbrethren quickly came to save the name of their fellowship but it would be so hard for asf to do the same. The know I speak the truth. Only a fool would not see the truth of the matter. 4 Likes 1 Share |
