You strike me as someone who doesn't understand the arguments against her position.

Those questions could only be asked by someone who doesn't understand the argument.

Do you have my answers?

which is?

To believe something doesn't exist, you have to have your proof. Solidifying your proof, using the inability of the other person to sufficiently proof his belief is invalid and lazy. To believe God doesn't exist, you have to have sufficient proof for. Basing your knowledge on the knowledge of another is foôlish. Do you have sufficient proof against or you therefore believe through faith. Tell me the reasons why you believe in the nonexistence of God and I'll critique you and test your belief.

Yes I would die,that is a beautiful consequence of living...now what is the meaning of life?
What is a soul and how do you know I have one?
No,because I do not know what a spirit is...
So if a cow is struggling not to be slaughtered...it isn't in control of its body,but a spirit is in control?

That means life itself has no meaning. But the Bible has meaning, it has hope. If He doesn't exist then I die, so?

No one is telling you to back up faith with evidence....I only tell you to back up your claims with evidence...subjective views like faith doesn't verify anything..
I am not the one making a positive claim...so asking for a negative is redundant...you are the believer,can you justify your beliefs or are you going to go in circles looking for who to unjustify your beliefs which have never been justified?
You might as well ask me to give you evidence for the non-existence of big foot..
Do you look at both directions of the street before crossing?...why don't you have faith that no car is approaching you?

If I am unable to prove to you that God exists, what will happen?

We know houses are prone to fires...so it won't be a leap of faith for mine to be on fire...in reality we know nothing absolute about "god/gods",hence we have thousands of religions with thousands of denominations...

We all know all men are prone to death....so you won't leap off faith to know you will also die, you won't leap off faith to think that life as a meaning, it has a destination. You won't leap off faith being conscious about what will happen to your soul after you die. Have you ever noticed that your spirit is different from your body? That your body feels llifeless, with you at command of everything. You will feel it better when someone overpowers your body and you feel helpless, when you beg someone to spare your life. Sit and think and discover that there is something controlling the lifeless body, the spirit. Where will it go when you kick the bucket?

The FSM is the creator of life, the author of the universe. The only God worthy of worship.

He resides in a dimension alien to ours.

Did he say he is God or you made him God?

Your posts are getting even more reta.rded by the minute...if faith is a belief in something that lacks evidence,can one have a belief to not believe something that lacks evidence?
Think critically...

If faith has to be backed by evidence, isn't it useless? Pls, ponder over it for a minute. Do you as an atheist have an evidence of the nonexistence of God? We all need faith, our faith is then strengthened by the situation's antecedents.

I am not expecting you to prove "nothing"...i am simply saying since one doesn't know that nothing is or ever was in existence then one count draw any conclusions from it..
Then why does the bible give dedinitions of its qualities that contradict reality?
This question was posed by ray comfort in his "way of the master" program,i'd simply go and verify if my house is on fire and then ask others if they have spotted any fires...if I don't find any fire then i'd ask where he observed it from...if he can't show me any fire...then i'd have to presume there isn't a fire after consulting the fire department to also check for a fire..

What contradictions? Why did you have to follow him at first? Why didn't you ask for proof? What you did later is not significant to me.

That only is not satisfactory, do all self-existent entities exist? We all can conceive/imagine a self existent being, but how do we justify its existence.

If God is not self-existent, then we have to trace our source to infinity, which is impossible because everything has a start, every element has an atom, an initiator, which created but wasn't created.

He thinks all atheists are scientists and have knowledge in biology,cosmology,biochemistry,etc...so he'll ask about evolution,the big bang,and mutations...and expect you to know everything about the subject.

Then what do you use in backing your faith. What gives you that what you don't know, what you can't prove doesn't exist?

Actually the source of the universe lead to a singularity not yahweh..its expansion was termed the big bang..

Big bang is an intellectual combination of facts and fiction.

My point is that if you probe for the source of the universe, it doesn't lead to yahweh, it leads to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the creator of the universe.

Who is this flying spaghetti monster, where is it?

Before we say something can or cannot produce sommething we have to know what it is,so I'll repeat the question....is there any point in time when nothing in the classical sense were in existence?
And are you familiar with the fact that "god" needs to be defined and proven to have done so?....you can't just say "god did it" and expect me to swallow your claim...

It is not for me to prove the existence of nothing, its actually what I was trying to say didn't start the universe. God doesn't need to be defined, it is yours to loose if he actually exists.
May I ask you a question? A man was at a bar drinking hot drinks, then a gentle man comes to him to tell him that his house was burning. As a rational man, what will you do? Answer pls. Don't forget that you haven't answered the main question. wink

So is the atom

My point is that when you continue cutting a piece of yam, you get to its atom, where no further division can be made. If you continue to probe for the source of the universe, it doesn't lead to infinity, it leads to something, Yahweh.

This is what I was trying to say, the world started from something and not nothing, nonexistence couldn't start our world, this something is God.

Your premises go against the fundamentals of thermodynamics....energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
A vacuum still contains vacuum energy and quantum flunctuations which allows something to virtually come from nothing...this increases with phenomena at the planck length...which we can detect the universe had originally been at such a state.
And your entire post reeks of a goal...hence the "must be called god","him",etc so make a cogent post and stop special pleading for "god"..

I used vacuum in order to derive nothing. Vacuum and nothing are two different things, vacuum is the absence of air molecules, nothing is the act of nonexistence. We also have to know that we can't use any test to test whether nothing did start the universe, since we need to use something to bring out nothing. All we can use is logic.

I think I wrote in my post that though nothing itself is something, the absence of air molecules gives the perfect representation of nothingness. For nothing to be able to create at all, it has to be something.

prove it, otherwise this is an empty statement.
I can as well say that I am Yahweh...or that I live on mars.

our seeing doesn't change the fact that it's suboptimal...maybe you should look up the word.
A dog with three legs can still walk ...doesn't mean it has no defect.

I will resist every attempt to make simple a structure as complex as the human eye. How did nature device the human eye, with 'defects' (I still don't know if using that word to describe something working as this is optimal.)

Nice equivocation fallacy....using the bibles definition of faith to lie is a mighty feat for a christian...isn't the verse hebrews 11:1?
It is not my duty to prove the non-existence of "god" because it has never been proven,only labelled on things(evident by this entire thread).
And by your definition you have faith allah doesn't exist because you can't prove it does...
So perhaps you should stop and think clearly before painting yourself into a corner..

Do you have a better definition of faith?
