No,a large number of atheists aren't rationalists...And those that are,don't have to "believe in" anything....you're merely equivocating(exchanging the words) "believe in" instead of "accept" to conjure a resonance of faith...

This is already a fallacy in itself....

Starting by equivocating words to imply faith....you then moved forward to attach your misunderstanding of a scientific theory....

Let us see where this leads to.



In the very same context you're using....it could be said that atheist(more specifcly,the rationalists) also "believe in"(the appropriate term is accept) Newtonian physics....does that magically turn gravity into a belief?

Even so,your dishonest presupposition(pre-concluded assumption) falls apart when you've already said "most atheists"....so you're also generalizing your observation based on a selected group.

Lets proceed.



Tell me what you mean here...because I need you to define your terms here....

And I also question the basis for calling the earth "designed"....what is the determinant of a designed earth?....can you provide or tell me how an undesigned earth would look like...so as to know?

And the reality we share doesn't remotely favour common sense.

Our intuition would tell us that between an egg and a boulder,dropped at the same time and from the same height....that the boulder should hit the ground first(because it's heavier)....but reality differs....

They both hit the ground at the same time(in fact, this is a standard test in physics to demonstrate that our intuitions doesn't matter to any event at play....until demonstrated)

And we've actually witnessed firsthand' the birth of planets and stars from chaotic supernovae...what would you call that?




I doubt any rationalists would say "randomness", but I see perfectly what you're doing...

You're trying to misrepresent the secular position of existence to somehow give your belief a more sane appearance....

The rebuttal I have for this pathetic dishonest misrepresentation is this....

Nature is probabilistic...not entirely random and not entirely ordered,and neither is it neutral(this may shock you ofcourse).....


Lets observe the cell wall....more specificly the semi-permeable membrane....it is a phospholipid bilayer of naturally occuring compounds.

On exposure to water,it's properties(which are determined by the head group and it's chains) form the bilayer by extending its hydrophobic(water dreading) layer in and it's hydrophilic(water loving) layer out...forming the "bilayer" in the process,that keeps the membrane from being permeated by everything(hence the term "semi-permeable"wink


Note that this function operates due to contrasting features that do not go together(i.e the hydrophobic effect)....but because of probabilistic qualities it encounters...it serves as a building block of cells...literally the walls.



I doubt you know the "law" you're talking about, may we know what this law is called and it's full implications....Is it thermodynamics?

Because if it is,you should have known that "order" and "disorder" in thermodynamics are referred to as "entropy" and entropy actually has values(I.e J/k )...and the total entropy of a system is determined by the work(useful energy)....

And since energy isn't created or destroyed(1st law) ....work gets rearranged into different forms(2nd law)....ofwhich one of those forms is matter.... (2nd law)



This is the hypocrisy of it all, after equivocating and misrepresenting everything you can....you then thank those who subscribe to the same faith you do...for support...

Good job, by this rate the well knowledgeable would depart from your religion after witnessing the extents used to retain the belief. smiley

Gosh so tired, it takes much work to expose a lie than to tell it...And I believe I've exposed you quite well...

Anyone willing to know any of this should either go to a noteable school of thought, library , google, etc lol grin

What ever those points you just said. I still stand on this. you cannot get order out of disorder. You can't get DNA (Information) from dis order. It takes a lot of faith to believe that. be rational for once. we don't know how we got here. I still believe in an Intelligent designer than blind chance.

You should ask yourself this question. we are all made from atoms in the universe. Yet we observe the universe. How can or why should the universe observe itself.

Your mind itself is a miracle of its like software. It isn't really there.

My stand is You cannot rule out God/or some creator/alien and science is just an observatory and application. all working together. Science is fact and it doesn't rule out God

There you have it. Enjoy your sef.

Excuse me there is nothing like that where God's His grace comes from. This individual has just express his needs. You cannot force your opinion by threatening with death Sir. The Lord has no interest in the of such neither have you any profit either. Hell fire is not jail term, it is ETERNITY loss.

Dearest friend. The scriptures says the time of ignorance God winks at. He did for Apostle Paul and over the years he a thousand persons worst off than you can ever be have experienced same SAVING GRACE.

You can whisper this to yourself today as you go about your business; God if you trully exist, make yourself known to me today. I am sure we can discuss better after that. Have a beautiful day you two.

With all the wikipedia and hyperphysics, your rebuttal does not prove that there is no God. This further confirms the op- it requires more stress/faith, findings and more google to keep believing there is no God.

Has anyone ever wondered.........If God created all of us, the earth and heavens, everything.......then who created Him? How did He come to be the God we all know today?

It's pretty confusing to believe in a supernatural being when there are logical and scientific explanations for "most" situations.

I believe......based on some personal experience!

The concept of God is not the subject of controversy but rather Religion. Because there's now way you can actually isolate God independent of Religion because that's the origin and with so many religions come so many different gods. Now which would you believe in? And at what point do we draw the line between Mythology and sacred!
I think it's a little to complicated to iron out so id say just do good by your neighbor since that's the ultimate goal of all parties involved. #worldpeace y'all

Some fellow says he believes in God and believes that He's Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. This fellow claims this God abhors certain things and is a consuming fire, yet loving. This fellow goes ahead to do things in his/her closet that this Being abhors. This fellow, we should not forget, believes everything this Being said and says, one of which is "thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God" and yet this fellow continually and deliberately goes ahead to do things that are against this Being's will and purpose of creating him(the fellow) with the hope of being forgiven after the deliberate acts, ignoring the commandment "thou shalt not tempt...".
Some other fellow is out there who vehemently opposes the belief of this Supreme Being's existence and all of the ideologies accrued to His existence and so does things in the light of what he accepts.
Now tell me, who among these two is foolish? The one who believes a Supreme Being exists and yet continually acts like He doesn't exist in doing things that this God hates Or the one who denies the existence of this God in its entirety?
