3 Reasons Why Theism Is Irrational Compared To Atheism by Nobody: 11:40pm On Jan 15, 2013 |
[size=14pt]1) The use of science without scientific evidence[/size] God created the big bang There is scientific evidence for the big bang but none for God. God is timeless, invisible, matterless, spaceless etc God cant be tested with science. [size=14pt]2) The omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient definitions of God result in self-refuting contradictions and paradoxes which makes such God non-existent! [/size] Omnipotent- God can not kill himself if he has the ability to live forever. God does not have the ability to be absent from a place if he is everywhere. Omniscient- God can not forget if he knows everything. Therefore he doesnt know what it feels like (experience) to remember. [size=14pt] 3) A problem with an intelligent designer [/size] -Earth is seriously flawed for human life (full of water), the only animal with higher intelligence. -A weak ozone layer -It is beyond our human knowledge to know if there is an intelligent designer; what is intelligent to us doesnt necessarily hold true for a non-human |

Logicboy03: [size=14pt]1) The use of science without scientific evidence[/size] This is a big lie, there is no scientific evidence for the big bang. Big bang remains a theory that is convenient for astronomers to work with and it was arrived at based on a lot of assumptions. No scientific evidence to proove it.
The bible does not define God that way, that is man's definition. In reality we as humans cannot begin to fathom God. He is way way beyond our wildest imagination.
If you are so intelligent why don't you create your own perfect world. You can start with creating a single living cell first. 1 Like |

Pastor Kun: perhaps you should educate yourself on what scientists refer to as a theory. And you should also know that germ theory, theory of gravity etc are all theories too.
we cannot fathom thousands of other Gods in other religions too cos they are all beyond our wildest imaginations. Does that mean all of them exists side by side as "creator of the universe"
what gives you the impression that the universe was created and god was uncreated? For what we know, the universe might be uncreated i.e. always existing the way you assume your God(s) are and dont forget that the concept of Yahweh was created later in human history among Jews. Mankind started existing around Africa eons before Jews came on the scene. Therefore, the assumption that the world was created by one of the many Gods (Yahweh) of the many religions is highly fallacious and unreasonable. 2 Likes

If you do not believe that God exists, have you ask yourself who divided the red sea and made the Israelites to escape from the Egyptians? Thousands of Israelites passed on dry land in the red sea for many hours and none of them were left behind before the water returned to normal. Since then no such occurrence has been recorded after it. Meaning it was not a concidence but God that created it and gave His command and the sea obeyed. How could the first male child of a whole nation die in just one night ,living the father the mother and children of the Israelites ,who were living in the same land,alone . The land of Egypt is still called Egypt This fact is known to the whole world and the Egyptians never dispute the facts. If I told you about the miracles of Jesus like a 4 day old dead being raised back to life you might not also belief. Ask yourself what makes you to be living?It is the breath in you from God.Thie science you talk about can not creat or give breath back to any dead person once the person is gone his gone for life except God put back the breath. The bible says "a fool says in his heart that there is no God". Please you have to change you belief . The devil wants to destroy you.Go back to God and ask for forgiveness because if you die in this state you might regret ever been born because God will now show you that He exist |

enilove: If you do not believe that God exists, Isrealites were never enslaved by Egyptians. he bible is a book of many false stories. You are making an argument from ignorance- if I dont know X, therefore, God did X. Do you honestly believe that you are a descendant from 2 people with Hebrew names called Adam and Eve? 1) Nigerian history alone is older than hebrew 2) How did Adam and Eve's children have children without inbreeding? 3)The facts show that life started in Africa and not the middle east?

Oh my Days!!! What is this rubbish? Logicboy are you for real? Logicboy03: I ask, nay DARE you to bring ANY widely regarded religious text where a deity lays claim to THE BIG B A N G....not creation myths, but the actual scientifically accepted theory Why lie bruv? Logicboy03:The three O's are fundamental doctrines to some but not ALL theistic religions and beliefs.It is a hallmark of utter stupidity to say Theism is irrational because certain theists believe in the 3 O's, just as I cant logically conclude that all members of your lineage are dull because they share a last name with your innately dumb self..... Christianity/Abrahamic religions is NOT = Theism Logicboy03: Haha really? Earth is seriously flawed for human life because it's full of water? Dude are you for fecking real?! All known forms of life depend on water!!!!!! And what exactly is a 'Weak Ozone Layer'? Human beings have been systematically destroying the Ozone Layer for CENTURIES! Illogic boy, its obvious you bear a grudge against religion - because your statements are anything but rational... You mentioned you were catholic, were you r aped by a priest? lol Did he give you a 'special' communion? huh? I believe in free speech and religious freedoms, but you should be sectioned for the horseshyte you spew from your pube-smoking lips... You need to get a vasectomy done, you must NEVER be allowed to contribute to the human gene pool! Cretin. |

cheddarking: Oh my Days!!! As usual, your blind hatred for me leads you to talk nonsense. Allow me to debunk you cheddarking: One, is it me or theists that generally claim that God was behind the big bang. This obvious denial is shameful Secondly, if God created the whole world as many scriptures and religion say, shouldnt that mean that God created the big bang as well? cheddarking: Wow... 1) I clearly stated that this particular argument is against a certain definition of God. If your defintion of god doesnt fall under it, then it is not a problem. You are just foolishly trying to change the subject to avoid the failure of omnipresence, omnscience and omnipotence! 2) there are all powerful or all knowing Gods outside the Abrahamic religions 3) my focus is on the abrahamic religions, they make up the majority of theists in the world. 4) it is impossible to address all the religions in the world. cheddarking: Dumbazz, do you survive on salt water? Or rather fresh water? [img]http://i.qkme.me/BVP.jpg[/img] So, you want humans to live without fire, electricity and gas? Fine, live without these things to save the ozone layer.

Again you persist with such dumbness... You assert that... Logicboy03: [size=14pt]1) The use of science without scientific evidence[/size] I say PROVE IT. Defend your assertion. Show me the religious text that supports YOUR claim... And you say this? One, is it me or theists that generally claim that God was behind the big slam. Nigga you dumb. Secondly, if God created the whole world as many scriptures and religion say, shouldnt that mean that God created the big slam as well? NO. The big bang is a creation story. Show me any widely accepted religion that claims God created the big bang. Nigga you dumb. Wow... WHERE? Nigga why lie? 3) my focus is on the abrahamic religions, they make up the majority of theists in the world. How stuuuupid can you get? You say this, yet your Topic is titled '3 Reasons Why Theism Is Irrational Compared to Atheism' Not Abrahamic religions...but THEISM... Nigga you dumb Dumbazz, do you survive on salt water? Or rather fresh water? Are you naturally this stewpid? or is this a product of hardwork?

@ Cheddarking. You have nothing but beef and foolish arguments against me. Your blind hatred is consuming you. 1) You cut out the parts of my reply that debunk you only to reply to soundbites. 2) You can live in denial that your christian and muslim and even deists apologists claim that Gopd created the big bang. I never mentioned any scriptures in my original argument neither did your apologists or your fellow theists. I am attacking their claims. 3) If you are trying to claim that God isnt behing the big bang, then your God is useless to us. 4) The title of the argument is clear; 2) The omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient definitions of God result in self-refuting contradictions and paradoxes which makes such God non-existent! I was talking about certain popular definitions of God that most theists subscribe to. You are just sidestepping the argument against an all-powerful and all knowing god. 4) Only idiots like you are monochromatic in thinking. Who told you that 70% salt water = 30% fresh water? Freshwater is less than 3% of all water. Oops! did I destroy your talking points? |

Are you an Egyptian? If the Egyptians did not dispute the fact,then you need to examine yourself or write to them and show them that there is a book called THE BIBLE that says lots of bad things about them.Am sure the Egyptians have not read the bible, if not they would have disputed it neither is there church in Egypt. And if there are churches there ,then may be they do not use bible but other books. What that means is that you have decided not to believe a claim that can be investigated, although known to the whole world. I believe that we all are descendants of Adam and eve. The reason is that every day,month ,year the population of the world kept increasing.The yoruba land thousands of years was not inhabited but now filled with people. May be you do not also believe that the Yoruba race started with Oduduwa who migrated from somewhere and settled in Ile Ife. So also is Africa.There was a time when no soul lived in the whole Africa.There was a time when there was nothing like America Europe, Asia etc.Only Garden of Eden was the only place where the two first human beings created by God lived. Am sure you can claim that you dont have parents and ancestors too. You might not belief that there are witches, ghost, evil spirits,Baba Alawo,satanic agents. There are satanic agents that can tell you what you did ten years ago which you think nobody knows. Why would somebody issue a curse agains another person and the person would go made as decreed. The fact that you do not believe that something exists would not cancel the existence of the that thing.There are spiritual things that you do not know about.Or there are no spirit beings also? I wonder the number of thing you know in this world with your little brain not to talk of knowing God Almighty.Even an illeterate can fool you with ease.A carpenter ,a bricklayer ,a cloth sellers ,a mechanic etc will fool you with ease. What you know is not up to 0.0005% of what you do not know. How much more using that small brain to think of God and coming to the conclusion that He does not exist.Go and meet a harbalist(an agent of the devil) and let him show you little wickedness about this life, then you will believe. |

enilove: Are you an Egyptian? Think for yourself. There is the internet for you to research facts Things to research -Is there evidence for Isrealite slavery in Egypt -How did Cain and Abel have children? With their sisters -Adam and Eve are hebrew names. Are there not languages older than hebrew? How can a Nigerian believe that he/she is the descendant of a Jew/Hebrew person when the first humans came out of Africa? 2 people can not repopulate the earth in 7 billion people in 6,000 years please, go and read. |
