Belief in existence of God scientific. Denial - unscientific

Post #1

Post by theStudent »

The length of the thread, in the link below, is largely due to repeated questions.on the contained information. The following is open for debate.
Belief in the existence of God is scientific. Denial - unscientific.

For those who disagree with the above, please state why, and/or provide evidence for the following:
  • God does not exist.
  • God exists only in the mind of the believer.
  • Miracles do not happen.
  • The Bible is a book of myths.

John 8:32

We know it moves so at least one, and we know one force is enough to explain the moving weight so lets just say it's one force.
How about this?
Take a very sensitive scale with exactly one pond of weight on it... and whala, proof that the moon is rotating around the earth held by gravity.
Not sure what you are trying to get at but sure, these are all ways to test the effect of gravity. What about them?
Oh, .. and video this for Creationists like me. I know it works with animated graphics, .. you know like they have the evidence for "time dilation" by one car standing still and a plane going overhead, .. lol. Cartoon can prove anything, even a BB.
Well no. Cartoon can't prove anything. The actual experiments depicted by said cartoons is what proves time dilation.
It's funny, because they claim that the one object standing still while the other which is moving away from it is experiencing the special relativity effects. In fact there is absolutely no way to distinguish which of the two objects is actually moving...
The basic part of relativity is simple to understand, what seems to be so funny about that?
Hmm, .. so let's put a bunch of tiny steel bearings under a handkerchief, than take a huge magnet, and slowly move over the handkerchief and see how the magnet pulls up the bearings on the far said of it, .. that should prove the second smaller tide, right?
When calibrated to scale so the force of the magnet on the bearings, and the forces between the bearings matches that of the moon, the Earth and the ocean, sure that would prove it. You are not helping your case here are you? You are coming up with ways of proving gravity when your original point is that it's not provable scientifically.
Hmm again! What is the scientific significant of a story based on "assuming things" (like a massive collision between two large clusters of galaxies millions and millions of LIGHT YEARS away) happening based NOT on observation, but someone's "assumption" that gravity exists and does certain things, but not other "things"?
No idea what you are getting at here, since all of it is based on observation.
And what would we call spending billions of dollars stolen from "dark-skinned sub-human" countries which is then blamed on them for overpopulating and becoming unsustainable, then building thousands upon thousands of other assumptions based on that assumption?

Lunacy, .. religious fantasy.
Sure, we can call it that if you like, since it only happening in your mind and not in reality.
Really, what does this sound like: "We can detect something that does not absorb or emit light, millions and light years away but we cannot detect God who is as close to everyone as their mind is", .. huh Bust Nak?
Sounds like a nail in the coffin for God as a scientific enquiry. Why? What does it sound like to you?
Acts 17:27
so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
Well there you go. God is supposed to be easily detected according to the Bible, but there is no empirical evidence of his existence. Like I said, a nail in the coffin.
Oh yeah, the BB story is backed up with another story supported by many cave paintings and a lot of skull and bones and fossils called Evolution, which clearly states that humans no longer have a mind or free will, that we are evolving mindless animals, no different than apes, .. actually we ARE apes, the ones still evolving, .. lol.
Correction, 1) "BB story" and "evolution" are unrelated and do not serve as support for each other. 2) humans do have a mind, we are evolving mindful animals, namely apes.
Like when this Catholic Priest got a Divine Insight from the supernatural realm of our universe Big Banging in nothing 13.75 billion years ago, then expanding to the "size" of infinite, and this is a good enough story to print millions of books on, labeling them science books at that, and billions and billions of much needed dollars on forcing it down every human beings throat...
Well, that's a privilege one gets when he can come up with empirical evidence for his claims.
yet God is right there, in your head, your MIND, .. making you an individual, a reasoning, creating intelligent being that separates us from animals, but that obvious fact you deny evidence for!?
And that's what you get for failing to provide empirical evidence for your claim. Try learning from the "Catholic Priest" you are referring to, if you want your claims to be accepted.
First, how would you measure Infinite who has no boarders?
With telescopes.
Second, .. you Sci-Fientists claim that there is no "outside, no middle" to your universe, yet it is claimed to be expanding exponentially (lol there too) while galaxies collide at the same time.
Yes, what of it?
Third, .. there is NO OUTSIDE to the universe, so you cannot define a size to it, .. not until a few seconds after the BB where it was measured (in a religious trance) to be first the size of a pinhead, then a grapefruit, than a bowling ball, the Poof! vanished, or fluctuated back into nothing.
That's the observable universe you are referring to it, i.e. the part that is small enough for light to cover within the time we have, as opposed the whole universe.
Sci-Fientists are stumped about their existence, they ask: "Why is there something instead of nothing?" because they believe we are IN, and amount TO nothing (+- charge cancels itself out, remember?)
Yes, I do remember. What of it?
Yeah I used to use that same excuse in my younger days about my hand wondering. But she slapped me anyways, .. in my face too not my hand!?

I told her it was my hand, not me, but no, she blamed "me". Isn't that why they cut off thieves hands, because they blame the hand, like you claim the brain creates the mind, right?
No. It is because they thought it was a suitable punishment for the thieves.
Yes, your brain wonders, especially after meteor showers, tectonic continent floating off, a heavy dinner, etc. can cause that, right? It's like the radio dial hooked to our environment, right? When the continents float off a little, it changes the station, .. our thoughts, .. I get it.
Well no, it's not a very good analogy at all.
What, .. it's not hard to understand Infinite? You guys keep limiting it to a size, how is that understanding Infinite?
Not sure what you are referring to here by "limiting it to a size." But yes, it's not hard to understand infinity, at least it's not hard for me.
If you even remotely understood Infinite, you would right away find the ONLY example of it, your mind. Your mind is the only thing, actually the only existence that is beyond any "thing", and contains all "things", all the universes you want, and expanding as fast as you want, right there in your mind.
Well, I wouldn't put it that way, but sure, our mind can comprehend the infinite. Also the universe may be infinite, like I pointed out earlier.
Where do you think reasoning and dreams and the desire to create comes from, .. your brain, .. with your hand sending info to it wanting to make something?
Yes, our brains is where reasoning and dreams and the desire to create comes from.
But look, you don't even believe you have a mind, only some chemical reactions of your brain as it is influenced by your environment and the food you eat.
Incorrect. You have been told repeatedly that I do believe I have a mind, one that is the result of "reactions of my brain as it is influenced by my environment and the food I eat."
So it's like explaining to a Muslim that this black meteor is just that, not something to worship for it cannot speak or see, just like your brain. All it is is a complex control panel our mind reads off of, and sends info to other parts of the body through.
That's another bad analogy. I can speak and see, pretty much the opposite to a black meteor that cannot speak or see.
Exactly, we are all walking miracles and don't even realize!
Well those kinds of mundane miracles don't require any gods.
Why do you think God-haters go all out to deny the mind of man, to deny man himself, his humanity turned to an animal, an ape, a rat!? And deny Infinite and make it something finite and call nothing "not nothing anymore"??
Loaded question cannot be answered. "God-haters" do not deny the mind of man, nor deny man himself or his humanity. Nor do "God-haters" deny the infinite and make it something finite, nor call nothing "not nothing anymore."
Because once they admit they have a mind, the proof of our Infinite, Eternal "I Am" would be undeniable. So they have to constantly change the obvious with fairytales of "long, long time ago before time, .. " oh well, you know the rest.
It is clearly a falsehood since I readily affirm that we have a mind and still have no problem denying the great "I AM" that you refer to.
Anyways, as I have shown, "belief in God IS scientific..."
Well, tried and fail to show...
It is a constant battle using scientific distortions, and straight out lies, and have to be there to force other scientists by intimidation and even the threat of death to support these lies.
I will agree with you on that much. Where we disagree is which side is using distortions, lies, intimidation and threats. The great thing about science is that empirical evidence will always win.
It is the most difficult thing in the world to deny God, and Satan is working on that 24/7, no rest. Why do you think we have all these different religions huh? It is to keep everyone satisfied, so they don't actually go out there and look for God.
I think I will stick to the scientific answer rather than your guess. There are many different religions because we are wired by evolution to have a predisposition to see intention where there is none.

I find it interesting that in a topic labeled " Belief in existence of God scientific. Denial - unscientific" you have yet to respond to my repeated challenges to provide credible scientific proof of your god.

It seems that all you want to do is recreate science to accommodate your god claims. Maybe what you don't realize is that by such recreating of science and the scientific methods used by science you would open up the entire imagination of man, every god, zombie, vampire, witch, & goblin ever imagined by man becomes possible and your god would be closer to the bottom of the list than the top. It is science that shines the light of knowledge on these supernatural claims to be seen for what they are, unsupportable.

These rambling, ranting, preaching posts you've been putting up are an excellent example of what would follow in science's place if you had your way. Can you imagine the logical gibberish what would come from all the other radical extremist cults?

I'm still waiting on your reply to my post 189 seen below:

If this is all you want, you already got it.
It's not anything that will be accepted as scientifical, on these forums, so it would not be worth repeating.
Why would you say "you already got it"? When you recognize that what you presented is not scientifically credible?
I already mentioned, that sensible people acknowledge that the Bible, and science are in agreement, as I mentioned before, with one exception, which I have made myself clear on.

Perhaps there might be a time when more can be said after a few things are presented.
But for now, we are at a sort of... I don't know... back and forth?
Actually, where we are is with you having failed to provide evidence to back up your claims of a supernatural, all powerful god who is the "intelligent designer". So there are two options for you, either retract your claims or support them with the evidence I requested.
It is time you stopped ignoring these requests for proof/evidence of your claims. Either provide the evidence or withdraw your claims of your supernatural god.

CORRECTION;

It should be "WE are waiting on your reply", and we haven't yet seen any.
All we have seen so far are bizarre unsubstantiated religious pseudo-scientific claims.

Oh yes there is.
In the same way some people on this earth think they know, and in some cases do know, what others don't.
I am suppose to just take your word for it?
I don't know why you think I need help.
And I don't know where I claimed that
scientists are fine with Greek and Roman gods but not okay with the Christian God
Let me remind you then: "Many people under different names follow the same pattern, including scientist. But what's interested, is that they are not against just any god or religion."
I simply made a general statement. It was not specifying any particular gods.
Also I made a suggestion.
Gather all their interviews, and listen to them. They do have a god and religion, but not - definitely not the "Judeo-Christian God and religion. Any other god and religion is fine.
I have done my research.
If you've done your research then why would you suggest scientists are fine with other god and religion except Judeo-Christian God and religion? Many scientists are Christian and those who reject Judeo-Christian religion for intellectual reasons also reject other religion.
I'm so tired of these accusations.
Is this made up?
Science is a body of empirical, theoretical, and practical knowledge about the natural world, produced by scientists who emphasize the observation, explanation, and prediction of real world phenomena.

The English word scientist is relatively recent—first coined by William Whewell in the 19th century.
Previously, people investigating nature called themselves natural philosophers.
While empirical investigations of the natural world have been described since classical antiquity (for example, by Thales, Aristotle, and others)...
No, that's not made up and perfectly fine. That is the view of science you should stick to.
Are you applying this to the scientists that speak of the creation of the universe, who don't even believe in a God creator?
Yes.
Could you provide evidence of this please.
That's easy - look up any experiment designed to test the second law of thermodynamics. You can do some in your own kitchen without any specialist equipment.
Where is the empirical evidence?
I'd be happy to see it. Could you show it to me please?
How about I show you to the literature instead? Testing the expansion of the universe isn't exactly something you can do in you own home. Here is an easy to read educational piece to get started on.
Pardon me?
I don't understand what you just said.
I was trying to explain how Zeus, Hercules and Thor are not supposed to be creator gods, you were comparing apples to oranges when you compared non creator gods to creator gods. Try comparing other creators such as Ptah to God instead.
Let me know which of these are unaceptable in science...
Dualism and Philosophy.
Whatever the case, we are concerned with truth, and facts, which I have already presented, but will conclude with another example.
...So they are building robots with a "mind" - an "intelligence"...I know one thing for sure.
There is scientific, Biblical, rational and logical evidence, that an intelligent mind designed the intelligent minds of humans. Hence, with regard to how life came to be, for sure - God did it.
That is a lot of evidence.
That is not scientific at all, like I said in my very first response to you, you've crippled yourself by limiting your topic as a scientific enquiry.

It is also a fallacy. "It takes intelligence to build a sand castle, sand dunes are also made of sand like sand castle, therefore it someone intelligent build that sand dune." Tell me you can see how that is not rational.

In my opinion, and I am sure I am not alone - the Bible is never used to confirm scientific discoveries and theories. If that were the case, when scientific theories and understandings are changed or adjusted, where would that leave the Bible? It too would have to change - which it doesn't.
On the contrary, scintific discoveries establish or verify the truthfulness or reliability of the Bible.
Neatras wrote:2. They also assert that evolution is based on faith, and creationism is based on logic and facts.
The so-called evidence that is presented to confirm macro-evolution is not verifiable, solid, or demonstrative. Therefore, it is as many reasonable people call it, faith.
Creation of the universe and the earth, and all life on it, has been demonstrated, and is therefore verifiable, and solidly based on facts. Logical, reasnable, and sensible people are inclined to that evidence.

And as you posted recently in the topic "What does Intelligent Design prove? post #10 ":
theStudent wrote: No.
The evidence has been demonstrated.
Just because someone shuts their eyes to evidence, does not nullify it.
This time it is you who is shutting their eyes to the evidence and the same goes. The scientific community accepts the evidence of evolution. Do you think that "everyone is out of step but Johnny"?

You have several unanswered calls for evidence of your claims. Mine in post #212 goes all the way back to post #183 has been requested several times. Others in post # 213 & post #215. I know it's really inconvenient to keep getting hounded for evidence but YOU made claims and on this site you must be prepared to provide the evidence to support your claim or to withdraw your claim.
