Religion / Re: Supernatural Powers Does Not Exist, They Lied To Us. by gisevak: 4:25pm On Sep 09, 2023

Science hasn't and would never claim knowledge of everything. It only attempts to know. Science tends to improve on itself regularly. But it doesn't acknowledge the supernatural. Lemme explain.
In medical science, if a patient presents to me and says, "Oh, I have a big hump on my back, please cut it off" and has no such hump, do I say, "Oh there is no physical evidence of the presence of this hump, however, let me assume there may be a hump since we can't see it physically but spiritually it may be there"? No. Why? Because science(medical science in this case) doesn't care about your spiritual bullshit. I can bundle that patient to the psyche ward and manage him for schizophrenia.
That's how we roll. Thank you

How does this answer the questions being asked?
Since you know science has no answers to everything, don't you think it's illogical to conclude about things? What if science comes out today that all you know is a lie What would you do

What do you mean by 'belief system'? Atheism simply means no belief in a god or supreme being or supernatural. There is no belief system, sire

Atheists hold certain beliefs or philosophies about life, ethics, and the universe? Do you agree with it?

The Universe isn't fine tuned for life. Our body isn't perfect
It seems you don't understand the question properly. Let me explain it to you briefly; Scientists have discovered that the universe has just the right things in it, like stars, planets, and gravity, for life to exist. Scientists think it all these happened all by itself over a really, really long time. They called it, "fine tune". Try to comprehend before you rush to respond. Your response is against the scientific explanations. This is pure contradiction of your belief system.

Physics LITERALLY means Nature.
"Laws of physics" are just our observation of how nature works, nature does not work on laws of physics.
I know!!! Can you clearly explain the origin of physical laws? that is one of the questions i[b][/b] asked you..

Read very well, WHY do rain fall, what is the purpose.

And you still went back to NATURE again, what is the purpose of natural meteorological process called water cycle?

What is the purpose of nature?
You are a student. Keep reading your logic and science books to learn about a much larger and more complex world. Your belief is dogmatic. There are more of them in the world. It sounds like you are new to atheism.

Why do rain fall, keep dodging it but don't be an hypocrite demanding for answers too.

You can only deceive yourself by repeating so many times that your idea of supernatural is not from religion when the word itself is from religion circle.

Science literally means Knowledge, some theists call their god omni-Science, the opposite of knowledge is ignorance, maybe that's your scope.

Does scientist use experiments?

Can you provide a clear account of the origin and nature of the laws of physics?

Get some education this is not some "supernatural" that you convince people to believe in but facts that you can debates, all life come from water.

See, my idea of ​​the supernatural does not correspond to the religious idea. I mean something that goes beyond the scope of scientific knowledge.

Atheism has nothing to do with abiogenesis.

All life originates from water, even in your mother's womb you started as a fish swimming in the space and water of the womb.

You are little

2. How do you address the mystery of human free will in a deterministic universe?

You can't prove that what does not exist does not exist

The evidence is it does not exist, now if you think I am wrong, kindly prove it.
I wasn't the one that said supernatural does not exist. Why should I prove a postulation that i didn't give?

Even the word "supernatural" has religion connotations, everything you know about "supernatural", all the words you use to explain it comes from religion.

How can you prove what does not exist does not exist?
Where are you going to start from?
when you claims that supernatural powers do not exist; You make a positive statement about the non-existence of supernatural powers. It is therefore generally up to you to provide evidence or arguments to support your claim.

Exactly what this daddy is saying is it's all natural. Lack of information or means doesn't qualify anything as otherwise. As long as it's permitted and observed by any one in the natural world. No matter the form of perception.

Oh, maybe it does, until there's a later enlightenment and new infos are found and understood.

It's all good.
Can you simply provide some explanation to the following questions?

Is consciousness solely a product of material processes, or could there be a non-material aspect to it?

Do you believe that consciousness has any significance or purpose in the grand scheme of things?

Ok. We're getting warm. So you have no evidence that I'm beside you spiritually. So you don't know. Do you believe that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the world? And he did it in just 2 minutes?

Are you aware rain, thunder, flood, sickle cell disease, Infertility etc were at one point attributed to supernatural causes?
I think you're here to score cheap points. I don't think you understand my point. I think it is illogical to draw conclusions without verifiable facts and to reject the supernatural. Please read everything I have mentioned and learn. It seems that your idea of  supernatural is tied exclusively to the religious idea. Prove to me that there are no supernatural phenomena.

This same lack of appropriate information should still tell anyone otherwise.

I'm not on any of both sides as it is.

I'm just saying whatever one thinks is supernatural is simply because of this same lack of information about the principles involved. And that, once one acquires any sort of understanding of this principles and processes, no matter how minuscule, the supernatural crosses to the other side of one's perception and becomes "something natural".

One example is a demon called salmonella typhi .. You know, this demon was once seen as the handiwork of spirits being unhappy with so and so. Or a sickness due to offending some deity. Many disease causing microbes were once seen like that; demons. But today, that's no longer the case.
We now understand many of these microbes to an extent that we can never ascribe anything spiritual or supernatural to them.

So, like I said earlier, the word in itself is a show of lack of understanding of principles and processes involved, nothing supernatural or spiritual, just natural and an ignorant observer, with a lack of enough and required information.

Well, that's how I see the matter. You could hold a different view and funny thing is we could both be right about it all or even wrong... cheesy

Smh

My position on the supernatural is not tied to any religious notion. My position about supernatural is that there are forces or things that humans or scientists cannot explain or prove. You only see religious definition of supernatural but there is more to it.
Check the following questions:

How did life begin?
It is clear in anthropology that this is a universal question that every culture and religion has attempted to answer. Scientists show that life began as simple chemicals that came together and became the first molecules to replicate. However, scientists still debate how these early chemicals were arranged, how DNA was created, and so on.Scientists also debate the circumstances surrounding the creation of these first chemicals. Some believe they formed in hot pools, while others believe they began with a meteor collision with water. This is still a beyond explanation.

What is the universe made of?
Astronomers still cannot answer 95% of the universe. It has been discovered that the atoms that make up the world around us appear to make up only 5% of the composition of the universe.In recent years, astronomers have speculated that much of the remaining 95% could be some kind of dark matter or energy, but the question remains unanswered. What is this dark matter?



We do not currently have the equipment, skills or information to explore them. It's still supernatural.
