walshie 2,804 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 On 22/09/2012 at 07:11, Aaron Proffitt said: Something to consider...since science is always quoted about the existence of God. Our planet is covered ,more or less by oceans. And yet, we know nothing of 95% of it. 95% ! And then we really think that science can definitively prove that God does or does not exist. Beyond our own little rock in the solar system, it's a pretty damn big place. So to assert that the existence of God is an impossibility , I believe is the height of human arrogance. You're up early Aaron. I don't think anyone here (at least not me) has said god is an impossibility. Personally, I'm not atheist, I'm agnostic, so if someone proves or disproves beyond any doubt I'll believe that person. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Eh, it's actually mid-morning where I'm at , Walshie. Agnostics I can completely get. Atheists to my mind are as close minded as fire and brimstone preachers. And they preach about as much,too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree Aaron I hate all these TV preachers asking you to "pick up the phone and send your money" however I also think to just have a blanket blind view to say god doesn't exist makes the supposition that we as humans know all threre is to know and science as we know it is everything. To me I think its naive, what if its just beyond our comprehension, how could you explain to an ant the workings of the internal combustion engine. I just think if people dont believe thats fine just have an open mind about these things. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulus 26 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 god maybe one thing but religon is something different. do i believe in god? i believe there has to be something else that we dont undestand, like how do migrating birds navigate, its believed they use electromagnitic fields, fields that we carnt even feel or see, let alone use. religon was mans first attempt at politics with the aim of control and manipulation, but like anything that involves power, corruption soon seeps in, so no im not buying religion. but god maybe 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I disagree, how can you put your blind faith in something that's not there? Or has ever shown any proof that it ever was! Science does not have all the answers that I concede. However from what it does know, it's certainly blew the god theory right out the water! Dinasaurs, how old the planet is roughly. According to the religious, the planet is only a few hundred thousand years old, and Dinasaurs were just a hoax. If you get done solace from a mystical being, then fill your boots, but I stopped believing in fairy stories a long time ago. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see the air but I know it's there What I'm saying is just because it's not a physical thing we can see or hold doesn't mean we should just dismiss it because we believe the human race is the pinical of evolution.

MoChara 1,632 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Can someone answer me this please, if someone gets their baby christened - you know where the minister puts water on the child's head. Does that mean they believe in god or is it just a thing people do.? Same with getting married in a church/chapel its supposed to be "before god", but is it really the reason.? All my family including far out family are all christened - although im not christened. I dont "belong to a church" because i wasnt christened. I will refuse to get married in a church "before god" because i dont belong to one nor do i believe in a godly religion. It really confuses me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
