True. But imagine this. Would you say that atheism would seize to exist if there were no religionists? This is not a leading question. I just wonder about it myself. Say you find yourself in a planet of androids who can't even comprehend anything beyond what can be seen or the effect felt. Would atheism become redundant?

I have also thought of that, if there were no theists, there wouldn't be atheists from one view and the opposite view that everyone would be unconscious atheists.

For the second, that would an epistemological question.I'm not sure.

Why do atheists always seek for proof in order for them to believe? Dont they know not everything can and must be proven? There are experiences that happen to you and u are sure of it but u really cant explain it in words and cant even prove it to anyone. Can any atheist claim he has never had a personal experience which blew him/her away yet he has no way of proving it to someone else.

Atheists ask for evidence because it is better to believe based on evidence than without or against the available evidence.

Really? undecided There is just no point debating this clear fallacy. The evidence is clear that majority of the atheists here have no clue what "evidence" they claim to defend.

1.What is the scientific explanation for humans having dreams about future events in graphic details such that the components of the dream had not been encountered by the human, up until the time of the dream and its subsequent manifestation in reality? Hiding your ignorance behind science is quite dumb. One phenomenal fact that we are incapable of assimilating is the ability of dreams to come to reality, on its own it serves as no evidence for anything, but it buttresses the notion that there is a place or realm that is beyond the present limitations of our material world. This realm is a very strong evidence for the existence of God. Hence, I agree with the OP that the essence of dreams attaining reality is a valid argument or evidence for the existence of God.

2. Do you any scientific explanation for Deja vu feelings? To add to the OP, perhaps you should relate the context of deja vu to destiny. Destiny presupposes human limitations in many facets of life including where, how and when we are born and also many other events that happen to us in life. Thus IMO, deja vu is a spiritual phenomenum that correlates with a spiritual realm, hence, a valid submission for the existence of God.

3. Honestly, religious aside, how can you not be fascinated with the universe and the beauty of our existence? What are the chances that humans who have only lived a few decades would have answers to potent question with regards to the origins of the universe? Why do you think that this piece of intelligence could not have been the product of a super-intelligent being?

4. I agree with the OP's argument here, you have not said anything worth pondering over that counters this argument.

5. Have you got any explanation for the origin of life?

What matters is how satisfactory the explanation is. If we instinctively seek the origin of everything, then what's the origin of this superintelligent Creator of the universe

I've taken time to go thru the links u posted and they are threads started by ghostofspata, and they tell us absolutely nothing about the evidence u so claim. All what he listed a regards the big ba.ng theory do not give us any proof of the theory. And his attempt to debunk my 5 arguments that killed atheism was a total flop and even a disservice to atheism.

Are you serious?? you have just refused to read through them. Even if all of them aren't "conclusive" enough for you, you have to admit more than half of your "5 arguments" r based on flawed ideas. Which makes it pointless to even answer.

It is important to note that a huge percentage of us were not born atheists. but I can bet, near 100% of you lot were born religious. Talk about being closed minded

LoL. don't bother. I prolly was more evangelical than you in my days. My search and questioning opened up a whole new field of reason. Now I saved myself from the delusion that is god (Abraham's one to be precise).

At one point, I held on to Christianity for the moral values we can learn from the bible. This fell apart when I read the bible from top to bottom. Morality is not a product of religion (this can be argued in so many different ways) I must confess though, the only inspiring part of the bible in my opinion is the Sermon Jesus gave on the mount.

However, we can equate it to the golden rule. So that throws the whole point of the religion out of the window. I'm an agnostic and will only come back to religion when I see concrete evidence. In absence of that I'm sure I'll keep an open mind to everything else

I'm sure Jesus would love me and you. But that doesn't prove he is god undecided

Woah davidylan. Why do you continue with such lies and insults? I've asked you twice recently to show me where you asked for evidence and I didn't provide it. You chose to run away those two times yet you have the guts to come here and tell such lies? I thought you were changing for the better. Or has the delirium worn off?

Now you're just being ridiculous. You're simply making an appeal to popularity which doesn't help you.
As I told you before, your presentation of evidence to show your integrity. When you make make claims without supporting them, then you're opening yourself up to being a liar since it is liars that generally make claims that they cannot support. Making a fallacious appeal to popularity makes you come across as either ignorant or deliberately misleading (which is another thing that liars do).

you obviously miss my point with that statement. My claim is that there only exists a deeper philosophical reason why someone will believe in a god or not. Since all other evidence (or lack of it) has been turned upside down.

But your typical atheist would clearly disagree with you since his "reason" for disbelief is allegedly hinging on scientific evidence to the contrary. Even you have made a half-hearted plug for the superiority of the pseudo-scientific narrative.
