Where was the single point?

What is that single point?

What did it contain?

What caused it to expand?

Where did space come from?

And if space came from the single point too, how could it expand and into what did it expand?
I dunno, probably doesn't involve sky fairies though.

[quote author=peacesamuel94 post=50991507][/quote]The Universe itself didn't pop into existence. It expanded from a single point. What came before that is unknown.

Now it is possible (but improbable) for a single particle to pop into existence and expand but it is infinitely less probable for every single particle to pop out at a go, isn't it? Believe it or not, research is going in this very area because theoretically there's still a chance.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do We Have Laws Governing An Uncaused Universe by CoolUsername: 9:59pm On Nov 12, 2016
The laws of physics are just a method of describing the way things happen in the universe.

Normal physics is used to describe events on the atomic level and up but it isn't absolute.

Once we get to the subatomic level, the laws of normal physics get broken all willy-nilly and we describe that as quantum mechanics. Here, particles pop in and out is existence for no reason.

The problem with these laws is that they make for an extremely chaotic Universe, there is no rhyme or reason to most events and a lot of phenomena are caused by pure luck. Therefore, there is little evidence pointing towards a Grand Design. But some insist that such a complex Universe cannot be an accident.

By that logic, then a Grand Designer couldn't have occurred by accident too, so wouldn't it require one itself? If it does, we go into an infinite regress. If it doesn't, then what property does it possess to make it so and why isn't that property applicable to the Universe or some precursor?

The only reason why we're here asking whether all this could be a coincidence is because, well... we are here. We cannot know the number of 'failed' outcomes before us if there were even any failed outcomes before us.

But what about a god who started the process but only uses natural process to perform its actions? Well, such a god would be apathetic, impersonal and extremely chaotic, then why call it a God?

Sorry for the long rant but I just wanted to show you I (an agnostic atheist) address all these existential questions. This is purely my logic, different people will come up their own conclusions and that's fine. It is only when people claim to know the answer for certain that I will ask for proof.

Nothing, people contribute to the society irrespective of their beliefs. I didn't become an atheist to make the world a better place, I became an atheist because I stopped believing in God.

It's just like asking 'what has not playing football done for the world?' The answer is nothing, it all depends on what you do with your time.

Atheists formulate their beliefs independently, just like other people we just don't involve God in our decisions.

Intentional misinformation.

I'm better off arguing to a mirror. There are bad atheists, obviously. But atheism is not a philosophy, there's nothing in atheism that tells you to be good or bad. Therefore, it is not the bedrock of humanism neither is it the bedrock of communism or whatever.

Tell me where in the Big Book of Atheism that communism is advocated.

Atheists have different political views so how exactly does it encourage communism?

Don't try to argue what you know is clearly wrong, I won't respond. This just asinine logic.

Communism
Marxism
Leninism
Juche Ideology

These were atheistic ideologies - atheism is an integral part . Atheism is imposed , extreme intolerance of religious beliefs and practices by states who choose these theories as their nation's guiding principle .

The indelible havoc caused by the practice of these ideologies - mass murder , mass suicide , blatant abuse of human rights etc .
https://www.nairaland.com/3286519/communist-leaders-killed-millions-because

There are variants of the Marxism-Leninism ideology such as the Juche Ideology which is currently practiced in atheist state North Korea where religious citizens are marginalized and abused continually .

Other variants of Communism include

Stalinism
Trotskyism
Moaism

I can go on and on
They are anti-theistic to ensure absolute loyalty to the state. Atheism is only a by-product of those ideologies and not vice-versa.

Simply put, the only ideology that isn't compatible with atheism is theism.

How is it an abuse? Did the animal complain to you? undecided
Even if a pubescent eleven year old begs an adult for sex, it would be abusive for the adult to follow through with it. Why? Because the average eleven year old is far less emotionally mature than the adult. Therefore, an eleven year old can NEVER give sexual consent to an adult.

Similarly, humans are far more cognitively advanced than animals, so whether the animal is sexually mature or 'giving consent', it is still abuse.

You can't compare homosexuality to paedophilia and bestiality.

Reason being that Islam is by far the worst thing that as happened to mankind. It's a plague that as been killing and destroying lives for the past 1,400 years and hundreds of millions of lives have been lost to this plague and many more till this very day. The most annoying thing is that it's built on glaringly obvious lies but the ability of the plague to thoroughly brainwash it's victims is legendary.

I do this in my own little way to make the world a better a safer place for us to living because I believe the more we expose the fraud Islam is, the more muslims will renounce Islam thereby reducing the feedstock for Islamic terrorism.
While I'm opposed to all religion, I see the you're making. Extreme Islam is violent, a good chunk of the 'moderates' advocate such violence. It seems to reject all forms of change and insists on staying put in 850AD.

But I still feel it is important to treat people on a case-by-case basis and try to separate the idea from the person. Meaning you can hate Islam without hating Muslims.

If you as an atheist can question the established culture of religious belief then is there a reason why you choose not to do so in this case?

Christianity EtcRe: Is Homosexuality Wrong? by CoolUsername: 12:54pm On Nov 11, 2016
Homosexuality is not wrong, it's not a choice but a preference. I'm sure nobody here made a conscious choice of sexuality.

Homosexuality has been observed in over a thousand different species of animals. Humans are the only ones that discriminate against them, which of these is unnatural?

It stands that children who are raised by same-sex couples are generally healthier and better socialized than the general populace despite the bullying and discrimination that they stand to face.

If thinking about homosexuality angers you so much, then you should stop thinking about it. Because that's gay.

Which brings me to my final point, Nigeria claims to be staunchly anti-gay but seems awfully interested in the subject.

KingEbukaNaija.

I'm tired.

I've already talked about how killing animals is ok when necessary for survival or for reasonable comfort.

I also said that all animals lack the cognitive ability to give consent to a human, if you had read my earlier post you'd have seen where I said that children are emotionally immature BY DEFAULT.

You keep saying that animals can show consent. Well, children to can show consent. The difference in cognitive ability between the parties involved is the determinant.

You keep repeating the same arguments. Rather obnoxious on your part and tedious on mine.

I do not care whether the animal was literally begging for it, it is still abuse the way a thirty-year-old having sexual relations with a thirteen year old child who may have hit puberty and is 'wise beyond his/her years' is still abuse. In both cases, one party is generally waaay ahead of the other mentally, emotionally, and/or cognitively.

Don't f*ck animals.

Nope . I did not .



Are you kidding me ??

I think you should actually read and comprehend the post not take a cursory glance at it undecided
Don't children experience the same sensations? Pleasure and orgasms are physiological reactions. Even victims of violent rape sometimes experience them. It doesn't denote consent.

This argument shares the same flawed logic as the one I just refuted. You can have 'loving' (typing this makes me ill) sex with a child too. That doesn't mean you aren't a horrible person.

Sex requires all participants to be equally capable of giving consent (at least, to some extent). Taking advantage of emotional immaturity or weaker cognitive ability of an animal is abuse.

Paedophilia and zoophilia are not inherently bad; feelings can't be controlled but actions can.

KingEbukaNaija:
One of the main attacks against bestiality/zoophilia is the issue of consent. These arguments take shape into something like this: "having sex with a dog is wrong because the dog can't say no". Through logic I will show that these arguments by anti-zoos hold no logical reasoning at all, and in fact the consent issue is generally a smoke screen for the icky factor. I will show here that animals can, and do show sexual consent with a human.

Before I can effectively show that animals do have the ability to consent for sex, I need to define exactly how I am using consent:

–verb (used without object)
1. to permit, approve, or agree; comply or yield (often fol. by to or an infinitive): He consented to the proposal. We asked her permission, and she consented.
2. Archaic. to agree in sentiment, opinion, etc.; be in harmony.


Animals are sentient beings just like humans, that is they have the power of perception and a consciousness. An animal experiences pleasure and pain. A person who owns a dog knows if what they do causes pleasure or pain. When we scratch a dogs head we can tell the dog enjoys this, he may roll on his back and let you rub his stomach. Likewise, hitting the dog in the head with a shoe causes pain and the dog will shy away and be fearful in the future.

Animals can not verbally say yes or no to sex in our human languages but they have other ways to show how they feel. Surely a dog who has mounted, say his human lover, experiences pleasure. This is evident because of his orgasm. Female dogs have orgasms too. Once a dog for example realizes you as a sexual being, they show sexual desire quite often: females will sway their tales revealing their swollen vagina's and dry hump the air in front of you, males will become erect and try to mount.

Anyone who is zoo will be aware of when their animals want sex. More importantly, they will respect their animal partner when they do not want sex. Sometimes when you rub your partner down there they will pull away and sit elsewhere. That is how animals show they are either interested or not.

If an animal does not enjoy what is happening to them they will show bodily signs of this: they will tense up, their eyes and ears will move, tails might jitter, and they will pull away. If you continue it could bring painful results: Dogs have powerful teeth and will bite you! Horses can break bones (or worse) with a single kick. Quite simply, it is obvious to see what causes pleasure and pain.

As I said before, the consent issue is really a smoke screen for the icky factor. By and large people are disgusted about the idea so they claim consent is a big issue when in fact it is not. People do many awful things to animals who do not consent to what is being done:

(1) Do animals consent to locking them in a cage?
(2) Do animals consent to being slaughtered and killed in the millions every year for food?
(3) Do animals consent to being tested on by chemicals?
(4) Do animals consent to being 'fixed'?

If you did any of those four things to a human you would be thrown in jail for life (possibly killed in many US states). Not so ironically though, doing those things to animals is okay. It is accepted and happens everyday.

But as soon as you have loving sex with your dog who you care for more than anything in the world, somehow you are a sick and awful human being.

Ironic?

KingEbukaNaija:
Good points you made - quite surprising though . But who says an animal can't give you the consent huh For an animal , there's the resistance and showing no signs of struggle means acquiescence and should be taken as consent , right ? So in that case , is the sexual act wrong or right?
A forty-year-old can manipulate an eleven-year-old for sex without any resistance. This is still considered abuse. Why? Because an eleven year old child is emotionally immature by default. Nobody would be arrested if both participants are underage, of course.

Conversely, an animal cannot give consent to a person because it is stunted mentally, emotionally, and intellectually when compared to humans.

^^^ I still remember your response CoolUsername

And I realized that you were wrong
I stand by my opinion. Killing animals for food or to control population is fine and good because it is necessary for survival or reasonable comfort.

Adopting an animal for work or as a pet provides it with food and shelter. It's a similar case with the schooling thing, education would be necessary for the child to survive in the society later in life.

So how is my opinion wrong? Because going by Shadeyinka's logic, paedophilia is moral since he used the fact that consent isn't necessary in certain other cases to show that it isn't necessary for sex.

I believe that atheists use it as a way of diminishing the power of God. They want to show that there isn't any noticeable difference between atheists and theists.
