Emmanystone: I'm sure I've proven time and again why Yahweh is imaginary, I've always told you that I and everyone else would know if there's a god that wants us to know him without fellow humans having to hammer it into our heads and with that I cancel out all religious gods from A to Z starting with Yahweh |

iamwhat: 1. The first atheist is Unknown! fact!! 2. Atheism is rejection of god idea 3. As soon as god idea started, atheism started too! 4. If you accept belief in god is as old as man, then atheism would also be as old as man 5. OP's question is a scientific NOT an atheistic one |

bloodofthelamb: People should stop strawmanning me with this line all the time I said YAHWEH DOES NOT EXIST! as for "god", it does not exist too as the null hypothesis starts from there. until anyone can 1. Provide a coherent definition of what they mean by "god" 2. Provide empirically testable predictions of that god, and show that these predictions are true 3. Show that this god is more parsimonious than all other natural explanations I'll (at least tentatively) accept that a god exists. So far, none of these requirements have come anywhere close to being met, and I can reasonably assert that the proposition of a god existing is likely false. What I usually get instead is god of the gaps aka take something science can't explain (yet) and insert god as an explanation but it doesn't solve the problem as invoking an unknown and mysterious entity as explanation doesn't solve the problem its invoked for but rather makes it more muddled up. |

The theist always use God as their default position for " I DON'T KNOW ". While the atheist is honest to admit that he/she doesn't know, the theist just use God and magic always as an explanation. The theist knows nothing and has NO answer to anything. He just uses God to cover up for his lack of knowledge. This can very clearly be demonstrated. We can simply turn the questions right back at the christians here and other theist and ask them. I will specifically ask the christians here to tell us exactly how their God created the things they are asking the atheist to provide answers to and you will see that they do NOT have any answers to it despite claiming that it is God . Their answers is simply God did it but if you ask them how God did it, they will never be able to tell you because as I said earlier, God is just their default position for I DON'T KNOW. They ONLY conjure God as an answer but in reality they have NO idea of what they are saying. Their answer is always an appeal to magic and that's where it all ends. An appeal to magic is simply saying or admitting that you do not know while claiming to know. As we all know pretending to know what you don't know is the life blood of all religions. So christians over to you. Now tell us: If, as Christians have argued, there is a creator God that created everything and they are in a personal relationship with him and that they also communicate with him, then these questions should be answered very clearly: How exactly did God create two separate genders, each with its own physiology? Why did God chose sex? Did God create sex by accident or did he intelligently create it? What mechanism did he use to create sex? Modified: How did God create female members of a species that produces eggs and is internally equipped to nourish a growing embryo, while at the same time evolving a male member that produces motile sperm cells? How did God do all these things? And, further, how is it that these gametes (eggs and sperm) were conveniently created that they each contain half the normal chromosome number of somatic (body) cells? How did God create the cells? What did he use to create the cells and how did he go about it? The christians should provide all the answers to these questions. This should be very easy since they claim to be in a personal relationship with God and they also communicate with him. They should simply ask him and let him provide them with the answers. To the atheist in the house just sit back and watch. NONE of them will be able to provide any answers. God to them is just their default position for I DON'T KNOW.

dalaman: This exactly is my problem with the "goddidit" hypothesis, it doesn't answer any question but simply fills the gap with something that leads to more and more questions, questions they now can't answer at all but admit ignorance: the same ignorance they were trying hard to avoid by creating the goddidit hypothesis Ignotum per æque ignotum. In other words gods seem to be nothing more than a facade for ignorance. This is why I'm always asking how "goddidit" is more parsimonious than any other explanations 5 Likes |

iamwhat: The same u who is asking biologists how the reproductive organ was created is making this statement... Whats the difference between these two statements: - God created the reproductive organ - the human reproductive organ evolved over time Can u see how both answer lack details? Yet u are wise to asked evolutionists for details, but foolish enough not to ask God for details. 5 Likes |

Proudgorgeousga: Awesome! The ear that you see when you look into the mirror was given to you, so that you can relate with your surroundings and people. Don't expect to hear God with your natural ear for He is supernatural. Jesus is always speaking to your heart, listen to Him. |

frank317: He uses God did it to hide his ignorance while pretending to know what he doesn't. He wants the evolutionist to give him details about how things came to be, but can not ask his God whom he claims to communicate with regularly for details of how he created things. What kind of delusion is that? 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord:This is how you know? Lolzzzzzzz. Has knowledge got another meaning? To know means you have tried and proven thing. Pls where is the proof of your knowledge that YHWH doesn't exist? Let me ask you. When Satan went to Jesus and said, 'Turn these Stones to bread and eat them, then i will believe you are a Son of God', Since Jesus didn't do as Satan commanded, meant Jesus was no longer a son of God okwaya?

Emmanystone: Atheism has nothing to do with evolution theory, I've repeated this many times on this thread and that infact has been my primary message here.

hopefulLandlord: You are not an atheist you are an agnostic. When asked about the existence of God you always say I DONT KNOW. But when asked about Yahweh you always say he does not exist. An atheist disbelieves in the existence of God or gods . You on the other hand neither disbelieves nor believes so you are an agnostic. You base your assertions on knowledge and not a disregard of one. So claiming you are an atheist is absurd and it shows you do not even know what you are To you Yahweh isn't God but there might be a God who isn't Yahweh. This is totally at variance with atheism which says THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO GOD (regardless of whatever name). You are also not an agnostic atheist because An agnostic atheist doesn't believe in any gods but you always say there may be a god but it definitely isn't Yahweh. So stop claiming to be an atheist when you are simply just an agnostic. 1 Like |
