Sure, that's for those that have faith in those naturalistic hypothesis, no?. . . .

No be only mind boggling, it'll soon be mind burgling. You're leaping ahead of what i said, just stay with what i said ehn. I didn't say God created all the natural evils and bla bla. i said GOD CREATED EVIL.
Compare the context of 'we' saying God created earth. It doesn't completely translate that God made your car, plate, website, phone though in a sense all the materials were made by God.
Who created natural evil. . .?

A woman is being physically abused, beaten up by her husband daily, sometimes he even beats the children. She has tried everything she can but its only getting worse and she fears for herself & her children. In your opinion, can she divorce him?
Sister Jesoul. . . .How far?. . .They will tell you to fast and pray. . . .My aunt is suffering from this right now. . .Church people keep telling her that she must endure, she must fast and she must pray, they insist that God will change him and she is not the only one out there that is going through this. . . .The husband keeps beating her all the time, once he slapped her in the presence of my younger brother. . .The next time she calls me and talks to me about fasting and praying am going to slap her through the phone. . .Seems she wants to be killed. . .She has to be alive to fast and pray, dead people don't fast and pray ohhhh. . . .

God created evil, but not for you to use. It's like blaming the inventor of a car because of car accidents. The point being that the purpose of inventing was not the car accidents. Or you'd go blaming your parents for using a kitchen after you set the building on fire, and burnt it down in your kitchen escapades.
So your \god created all the natural evils like diseases, natural disasters, droughts etc. . . .Human's don't use them but they are always attacking humans, no?. . .So your God created disease that affect humans?. . . .You can't have it both ways. . . .Evil as nothing to do with any God, but the way you go about shooting yourselves with some baseless and convoluted hypothesis is mind boggling. . .

Yeah! To a lay man, this answer sounds SMART! Now, WHAT is the ATHEISTIC DEFINITION of FAITH?
Faith has many definitions, When an atheist talks about having faith in something it is mostly as a result of experience with that thing so by faith I personally mean confidence or trust in a person or thing based on experience. This is very different from religious faith which is belief that is not based on proof at all. . . .For example religious people believe things that not only have no proof or evidence but are completely against what we know to be true. . .Do you believe that Jonah survived inside a fish for three days?. . .If yes how does that square off with what we know to be true?. . . .Religious faith is believing something because you want it to be true not because it is true it self. . . .

May God help you to see the TRUTH that will set you free before it is too late.
Please do you have any evidence to show that there is any form of consciousnesses that exist outside the brain? Do you have any evidence to show that human consciousness survives bodily death?

This is a very interesting video. The segment between 1.30 mins to say 3.00 mins of just 4 mins long video intrigue me. This is because the jew[s] agree that their Bible is corrupted and God punished them by making things hard for them. Yet when it comes to talking about the prophet [as] someone got upset because he was not from the children of Israel, as if God does not have the Right to choose His elect, when the people continued to go against His Instruction.

The only reason the jews received favor from God is because of His relationship with Abraham [as]. Are the jews not just one of many branches that came from Abraham, Ismail [as] being the first major branch and Rasulullah [as] is from that first branch?

Allah has maintained His Covenant with Abraham all through, ending it with the major branch that was there to participate in the ratification of it by being circumcised.

God did not promise to prevent people from corrupting the earlier scriptures, but guarantees the purity of Quran and shall not allow it to be corrupted.

Everybody was born an atheist!!!!!!   It is the indoctrination children get from their parents that turn them into religion.  Sometimes the indoctrination descends to the level of child abuse - the koranic school or madrassas, the sunday schools where stone age myths are drummed into the poor child's brain repeatedly until it becomes second nature.  Very few are brave enough after that to even challenge the basis of these myths because of the fear built into the faith system.  I am happy I have been able to break free of religion.  Another note: You don't need to understand evolution to free yourself of religion.
If he was born into a muslim family from kano, I bet he will be here telling us that there is no God but Allah and muhammed was his last prophet. . . .

But davidylan, isn't there a possibility that the bible is wrong or not all that correct about all it says? Isn't there a possibilty that the bible is foolishness to all who don't believe because it is actually foolishness? Your thoughts.
He is able to see through the foolishness of other religions and their baseless stories and assertions, heck he is able to see through some of the baseless assertions of some scientific theories but for childhood indoctrination, he still accepts that a donkey can speak the human language, a person was created from sand, the earth was in existence before the sun and other stars, a man lived inside a fish for 3 days, human started speaking different languages because some God hiding in the sky did not want people to build a tower and see him hiding in the clouds so he confused their tongue, the entire earth was once flooded, killing people because they worship other Gods is right, there is a crazy and imaginary being called satan that makes people do bad things grin, a man lived ,died and resurrected after 3 days. . . and so many other fooolish tales that have absolutely NO evidence what ever to back them up but the faith cake, which is nothing but believing that something is true because you want it to be true. . .

because your family chooses to disparage you doesnt mean the rest of us are lying.
Not my family alone, even people here on nairaland keep making statements like imagine this foool saying that there is no God,what kind of foool says that. . .I don't have time going back to quote such. . . . .I am talking about Nigeria a country where some people were fired by a christian governor in Taraba state in 2010 for not attending the normal morning devotion. . . .You are LYING when you say that people do not prosecute atheist in Nigeria just for being atheist. . .After all your bible says its only a foool that says there is no God and your fellow deluded God believers treat those that not believe as fool, cos their religious book says so, no?. . .

Christianity is about a personal faith but it also involves sharing that[b] part of the faith to friends and loved ones as we see fit[/b].
Another lie, when have Muslims, Hindus, Buddhist and other people that do not believe in christianity become friends and loved ones? Where does the bible say that your should teach the faith to friends and loved ones?. . .After all a lot of the stories in your bible are about your God commanding his chosen men to kill others because they worship other Gods, no?. . . .I have a Muslim background and even as a young Muslims christian strangers used to come and "minister" the word of their God to me teling me that I was lost and needed to be saved. . .They still do it all over the world. . .

When you love something, your first instinct is to share it . . . you're deliberately being spiteful when you say it is about "converting" others like that is some sort of horrible crime. Like i said, deal with your family problems.
Sure it is about converting others and one of the ways is by belittling their religions first and foremost. . .All Gods are powerless and Jesus is the only God that is powerful is what they always say, no?. . . .What evidence is there to show that the Jesus God is more powerful than Allah God?. . .If there is no evidence for that then why do christians keep saying it?. . .Its not a family issue but a societal issue, right now in Nigeria religion is destroying the country no?. . . .

It affects me because people from where I come from disparage, call me all sorts of names like devil, say am bad, because I don't believe in this nonsense they call personal relationship and STOP lying because your religion is NOT about personal relationship but about seeking converts,one of its greatest messages to go into the world and convert others, no?. . .How do you convert them without robbing these you personal relationship on their faces?. . . .Your religion tells you that those that do not accept its stories are condemned already and believers go about treating unbelievers as condemned people since their religions say the same, no? Why are kids in Nigeria that are branded as witches killed?. . .The bible says people should kill witches, no?. . .Why are gays maimed in Nigeria, because the bible and Koran say that they deserve it, no?. . .Why are Muslims killing infidels, because the Koran sanctions it, no? Why are christians robbing their religion on people's faces all over Nigeria,because the bible tells them, no?

An atheist affirmed during our discussion today that 'our argument should be based on facts and logic' Alright, the theists has always being at the receiving end of all manners of questions,its only fair that the atheists reciprocate.
This is because it is the theist that always lay claim to special knowledge. . . . .There was never a time when the God does not exist arguments was made until the theist came with the God exist argument. . .Its funny when the theist always use what people don't know as evidence for his/her God. . .The God that is supposed to answer prayers, heal believers, equip believers with special special signs so that unbelievers will see and believe has now been relegated to the God of the gaps. . . .You are a Christain and when you read the bible the God it talks about is very CLEARLY defined and his role is not the vague nonsense that you guys are always portraying here. . . .Atheism is simply a lack of belief in Gods based on lack of credible evidence. . . Do you have any evidence to show that the creator of the universe assuming the universe has a creator is male, a single entity, has a son and came down as a human to sacrifice himself to himself so that humans can be with him when they die?. . . Do you have any evidence to show that there is any form of consciousnesses that exist outside the brain, which goes on to survive bodily death?. . . .If you do then pls show us. . If you don't then why are you making such claims in the first place?. . .Pointing to a book that was written by so many different authors which so full of contradictions to support your arguments is another waste of time, no?. . .

OK here we go. what are the facts and logic behind atheism? what makes the atheists feel so strong about their beliefs? is their any scientific facts behind atheism? I'm assuming that most of u weren't born into atheism, so what prompted u into atheism? ill pause for now
The facts and logic are very simple, humans have always been inventing Gods to help explain things away to them. . . .There are so many Gods that humans have invented and worshiped some have died and some are alive, example Jesus the son of God that is 3 in one did NOT exist 4000 years ago, that God idea came into existence like 2000 years ago based on older beliefs, Allah the God that is one and wants people to go to Makka and throw stones every year did not exist 2000 years ago,that God came into existence about 1400 years ago, Zeus the ancient Greek God is now dead because nobody believes in him any more, same with Ra the God of the ancient Egyptians  . . .Back in the days Ra was the one and only God, the pyramids and other temples were built by the ancient Egyptians based on their religious beliefs, now we look at those monuments and laugh at their false beliefs of life after death. . . .What about the pantheon of Greek Gods?. . .They all exist as well, no?. . . .

Unbelief is the default position because no body was born with any religious belief, you have to be indoctrinated from childhood to hold unto such beliefs, and the indoctrination is mostly done with fear, believe or you will suffer for eternity when you die, once you believe it becomes your reality . . .What prompted me into atheism is nothing but the FACT that all religions and Gods are man made and as such no God can be shown to exist on its own independent of man made stories, man made cultural and societal acceptance, all the Gods rely on men to do everything for them, they rely on men to teach other men about them, fight for them, build their temples for them, speak on their behalf etc because they are all man made and as such men have to do everything for them,NO God can do and has ever done anything for his/her self its men that are always doing everything for them. . . .The existence of many religions and the fact that people always self project themselves as God shows that the entire thing is man made. . . . .There is no evidence to show that the God you believe in is real and Allah God is false, but because of indoctrination you some how feel your own God is real while the Allah God is false. . . . grin grin

I reject the Jesus stories because most of the story does not agree with the reality I see around me. . .There are no credible evidence to support the story and most of what Jesus was alleged to have said or promised his followers are impossible and do not occur as promised. . .

With regards to you Honda and Toyota analogy, I think its not accurate compared to religion because religion does not work that way. . .When it comes to religion, there are no choices because it relies heavily on indoctrination at an early age when people have not developed a mind of their own. . . indoctrination and inculcation is a primary factor for religious beliefs as most people adopt the religious beliefs of their parents. people are made to believe at an early age and that belief becomes a part of their reality not because the beliefs are true but because it is a part of their culture and reality. . .When you believe strongly enough that belief becomes you reality regardless of weather its true or not. . .That is why we have various religious beliefs. . .Most people accept the religious they are born into, children are made to recite a confession of faith and accept that what they are told is true. . .

Interesting. I have learnt something from your view on this subject.

Of course many of your fellow atheists here on Nairaland might choose to disagree with u, cos some feel so strongly about this Evolution that they can defend it as if they were present or any of the world scientists were present when the world/universe actually evolved lipsrsealed undecided :-
Here is the problem. . .Atheist are not the only ones that defend evolution. . .One of the staunchest advocates of evolution theory is Ken Miller and he is a christian. . . . .Many christians the world over also believe in it. . .

Same way Christians defend the biblical creation account. I can say non of us were present when the whole thing took place.

Job 38
The LORD Speaks
1 Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:

4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.


Its obvious none of us were present during this time. We can only use logical reasoning to deduce what could have possibly happened
But any body that makes any assumptions to things that are supposed to be verifiable should be able to back it up with evidence. . .if the bible is true then we should be able to see some evidence that supports its version or accounts of creation no?. . .The bible has a detailed account of creation that does NOT agree with observable reality and as such christians have relegated it to mere allegory. . .Evolution is no better because it relies heavily on speculations and conjectures. . .

If you hang out with Christians who tell lies, I am sorry for such a terrible experience you may have had. But they could never be Christians if that was their life style.

The essence of Christianity is truth and while the quoted may have an element of ' grain of salt ' that is no reason to assume that the actual events are false or that the OP is a liar.

You see Atheists are well know for habitual falsehood , this is a known fact in debating circles.

You need not tell me there is no hell. I feel myself already slipping. Wretches, cease your idle talk about there being hope for me! I know I am lost forever! Oh, that fire! Oh, the insufferable pangs of hell! …Oh, that I could lie for a thousand years upon the fire that is never quenched, to purchase the favor of God and be united to Him again.

Charles IX [/b]was the French king who urged on by his mother, gave the order for the massacre of the French Huguenots, in which 15,000 souls were slaughtered in Paris alone and 100,000 in other sections of France, for no other reason than that they loved Christ. The guilty king suffered miserably for years after that event. He finally died, bathed in blood bursting from his veins. To his physicians he said in his last hours: "Asleep or awake, I see the mangled forms of the Huguenots passing before me. They drop with blood. They point at their open wounds. Oh! That I had spared at least the little infants at the bosom! What blood! I know not where I am. How will all this end? What shall I do? I am lost forever! I know it. Oh, I have done wrong."

God grants an easy death only to the just. . At what seemed the very last moment he suddenly opened his eyes and cast a glance over everyone in the room.

True, evolution to me is nothing but conjecture and mere speculation. . .I said main stream science not because its true, but because it is the acceptable scientific explanation. . .

Very simple. Islam makes the claim that the quran is scientifically innovative. That is the only reason science does come to play. the bible has made no such claims[b] neither are christians interested in pushing it[/b].
You might not be pushing it but many Christians do. . .

@ MAZAJE!
But You said SCIENCE & RELIGION is NOT the same! Why OH Why Should ATHEISTS BELIEVE ANYTHING? AND Why did you ONLY analyze that part of RELIGION as PROVEN to have FAILED by SCIENCE? HOW ABOUT CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM ETC? NO?
Why should atheist believe anything?. . . .What's that supposed to mean?. . . . .As I said before. . .Both Muslims and Christians use science to discredit each others assertions. . .Check out the you tube videos that were posted with regards to creation and how human's were formed according to the Islamic point of view. . .Science was what the Christians in here used to demolish the Islamic assertion. . .So what exactly are you talking about. .

Our resident cheerleader. Should introduce him to thehomer.

Here is the problem dudes . . . serious christians know that religion and science are NOT inter-related. With me, religion/faith is a way of life while science is a career. Both are distinct. I can go work in the lab without that having a prejudicial influence on my faith and vice versa. Rather it is the atheist who has a problem with religion and tries too hard to use science as a stick with which to beat it

I have to point out one thing . . . the inconsistent use of the term "logic" as if this is strictly the domain of science. On this thread alone, we have been treated to several completely illogical science articles purporting to describe the origin of life . . .

.
Because most scientific facts are verifiable. different  religions also use scientific assertions to beat each other up. . .Back in the days either Mushin or Abuzola posted a video on you tube explaining creation from the Islamic point of view and the Christians here was using scientific explanations to discredit it and show that it was false. . .Every body runs to science when trying to disprove the religious assertions of another person especially when such assertion is supposed to have scientific backing. . .

Or how about a God that actually does or encourages evil himself. . .Like Yahweh who happens to be the God the OP is selling. . . .

What the hell has numbers got to do with anything?. . .Facts have nothing to do with numbers. . .Once the the entire world view that people held was wrong and one man's view in the person of Galileo was right, no?. . .Yet he was a minority. . .

bad analogy. you know a 10 dollar note isnt completely made of diamond because you have actually seen and touched one. So your conclusion is drawn from at least some form of empirical evidence based on look and feel of a REAL note you have seen.
I can see the earth and I live in it. . .I can use what I see around to judge the claims written in the bible to see if they are true or not. . .

Have you proved that God doesnt exist to any certain degree? Beyond not having his home address, exactly how do you know the biblical creation is a myth?
I don't need to prove that any God exist because all Gods are man made. . .The belief in Gods is what exist not the Gods themselves. . . .The biblical creation account does NOT agree with observable reality. . .
