You know, It's actually more easier and intelligent to say that there was a designer to the universe than to say all this design came from an unintelligent matter.
Imagine a painting without a painter
Imagine intelligence emanating from non-intelligence

and how do you know matter is unintelligent?
the universe is not as unintelligent as you claim. it operates under laws that guide it. and with these laws, it produces the fascinating things we see today. stars exist because of gravity and electromagnetic forces.
they may seem like some being made them, but . . . not really.
besides, what you think is fascinating . . . really might not be. your senses evolved to see them as such.

not without facts. without proof. and standard of proof is highly subjective. scientific theories are not lies because they can be easily proven by recreating the conditions they describe. so don't bring them into this discussion at all.
everything contained in your science textbook can be proven in front of everybody that they are correct withing their confines. we know nothing can go faster than light. not because Einstein said it, but because it works out mathematically, and physically. the fastest thing in the world IS electromagnetic radiation.

now, i cannot prove there is no God. i also cannot prove there is. the proof of his existence is not falsifiable. so how do you expect me to believe you are saying the truth? there was a time when the whole world believed in Zeus. such people persecuted Socrates and the likes as you are persecuting me now. fast forward to 2015. who are the idiots now?

Am I infact persecuting you?

The same way you could prove the speed of light both using mathematics and Physical methods is the same way you could prove from the various complex designs in the universe that there had to be a designer behind it.

There are complex codes programmed in genes. If i showed you a computer program today and say all that coding came by chance how would you react?

I love that. It's the kind of scenario I gave Johny. How do we know what we consider imperfection is actually not perfect in the "mind" of the universe.

But then, we would be going into the concept of "self awareness" "choice" "will" "grief" "love" "sorrow" e.t.c. How intelligent is the universe in bringing about such concepts?

yes! you're right! that code came by chance!
with trial and error, serendipity, discoveries . . . all those things contributed to the code you showed me. you see, the only reason why that code exists is because people have been experimenting with OTHER codes. getting better and better with them. so that code could be produced. so there is that.

here is another mind blowing fact. if i take the twenty six letters of the alphabet, plus several other characters, by combining it randomly, i will eventually arrive at that code. simple probability.

what do you think intelligence is, really? intelligence is not needed to do most things. most of the best discoveries and ideas didn't require intelligence at all. they came by chance.

What objective perception do you need . I know He created everything - the contents of the universe - if you disagree its your business . Millions of people have experienced miracles and witnessed His presence , yet you say they are lies . When you experience the power of God , isn't it convincing enough ?

You don't know, you believe. You don't know what created the universe and when you only believe some God idea some men created did it. You don't know if many entities created the universe, you just believe that a single entity did because you have been indoctrinated with that idea. Millions of Hindus, Muslims, Taoist etc have also experienced miracles and witnessed the presence of their various Gods, it means nothing, religious experience has been shown to be the product of the brain.

Have you shown me He does not exist ? No

I said I don't believe, so show me that he exist. A God that exist will not need you to show me that he exist, he will also not need me to show you that he doesn't exist. Any God that exist will be self evident. Your God exist but in your imaginations and that of those that subscribe to that idea.

Have you proven that life came from the non - living ? No

Life coming from living or non living things has nothing to do with the existence of a God. God should have clear evidence for his existence. Why should the existence of other things be used as evidence for the existence of God? Have you ever asked your self that question? Why is God the only thing which we use the existence of other things to point out as his existence?

Have you explained the disparity between the nature of the elements of life ? No

Have you proven that the contents of the universe came forth on their own will , then for no reason brought forth you as a thinking reasoning being ? No

Have you shown why the universe needs no creator ? No

You are just using God as your position for "I do not know". If God exist then point to it as an independent entity. What we see around is evidence for the environment and not evidence for God. Does your God exist? If e does show it already.

Yes God exits , you can wait for Science to explain what happened billions of years ago . As far as no human being at this present time witnessed the beginning , you'll only see theories and more theories , assumptions and more assumptions till you die . Until Christ comes , trust me this will continue .

God exist as a dead Jewish man that died over 200 years ago that will come again? This has nothing to do with reality but just a statement of belief. There is a great difference btw belief and reality. You believe in the story told about some dead Jewish man who lived 200 years ago coming from the clouds but you still confidently regurgitate it as if it has anything to do with reality.

Mr. man its me - if I say I know He created the world , you have no right whatsoever to impose your own misconceptions on me . I know , I dont believe

Its either A or B - its either life had a creator or it had none - it came from the non-living . Stop the obnoxious display of inanity

Like I said before , you dont explain what I know to me . I know , if you feel its a belief then its your business . I am not jumping into your wagon of ignorance

God doesn't exist because i have no proof of him, and neither do you. isn't that enough?

i should not even be answering your question at all. because YOU, are the one who is trying to convince me that God exist. YOU, should provide proof.
in fact it isn't really you sef. GOD, is the one trying to convince humanity that he exists. HE, should provide the proof.

since he has not done that,

Having no proof of something shouldn't be a resort for disbelieving in its existence and doesn't make you an athiest it only makes you an ignotist

Do you have any proof of this aside fr the bible? Any historical document that can be proven to be genuine?

1st - the NT is a historical document on jesus

2nd- Titus Flavius Josephus mentions jesus,james and John the Baptist in his Antiquities of the Jews.

3rd- Tacitus mentions the death of Christ under Pontius Pilate in Annals 15.44

4th- the "letter of Mara Bar-Serapion" asks of Jesus’ crucifixion , "What advantage did the Jews gain from executing their wise King?"

5th- Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus wrote: a wise man who was called Jesus......Pilate condemned him to be condemned and to die.

6th- Tacitus also says that the disciples of Jesus "reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive."

7th- Josephus (c. 37-100 AD) the Jewish historian wrote: "Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men among us, had condemned him [Jesus] to the cross.

8th- Roman author Phlegon wrote: "Jesus, while alive, was of no assistance to himself, but that he arose after death and exhibited the marks of his punishment, and showed how his hands had been pierced by nails."

9th- even the Talmud does not deny the death of Jesus on the eve of Passover they hanged Yeshu (of Nazareth)"... (Sanhedrin 43a, "Eve of Passover)

10th- Pliny the Younger mentioned Christ,..." They (the Christians) were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god"....


Then we still have links to Jesus thru his disciples.

"in" and "from" are two different prepositions . Actually there are really deep theological depictions of that clause - coming in the clouds - but it would be a complete waste of time sharing it with you .

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 :

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.

This a perfect example of the metaphorical narration of Christ's second coming . What's the nature of His coming ?


Anyways on the day it happens , we will all see if it was figurative or not .
