Kay 17: Also everyone assumes the human sight/mind is perfect to capture the message from the pictures. Why shouldn't we believe our perception could be impaired, by bias for example.this is the argument plaetton was making and which DS was spitting upon. |
Joshthefirst: you don't believe you're special? You're no different from the animal? Its a wonder your life is in direct difference to your thoughts.don't assume you know my life bros. That being said, do you have any idea how big the earth is in relation to our solar system let alone the observable universe? |
Ishilove: Leave grama.leave willful ignorance. ![]() |
Ajibam: the very one that created you and still have mercy for your perishing soulWHICH ONE!!!? Can't you guys answer a simple question? |
I vote 2. |
For you to involve design, then you have to state purpose. All we see in the theists explanation for design are merely 'human-centric' explanations...because of we we we humans. The special special homo sapien. Created for blah blah blah with --- version of the anthropomorphic god. E don tire me... |
Deep Sight: I really don't know what you think I mean by intuition. However you must know very well that I base my discussions not on intuition alone, but cardinally on Logic.I assume it is the dictionary meaning? Be that as it may,we already know what those pictures you posted were meant to represent. Like I said before, I only decided to address them just as some sort of mental exercise. Let me give you an example...assuming we are in say, 1600BC and we know nothing about how lightning is formed, intuitively we can say that the gods are responsible for lightning and on occasions where it kills some persons, we can come to a logical conclusion that maybe the gods were angry at the person for some reason or the other. Until we know better, it will seem foolish for some people to assert that lightning is in fact a natural phenomena and that the dead persons were just unfortunate without presenting an alternate explanation. I hope you get the point... The fact that we cannot explain some things eg consciousness is no reason to invoke GOD!!! To be perfectly honest, the arrangement of those pictures were meant to suggest the presence of something other than what is evident, eg the thinking man and the boy and corpse. But all I see is wishful thinking. Give me a dead man DS and tell me the cause of death and I can explain it medically to you...nothing spiritual or supernatural will be involved. Nothing fantastic like say, Breath of life ![]() The theist position is simply a God Of The Gaps and it will continue for a long time because there will always be things unknown in this universe. The theist position is in fact the position of the lazy mind. ![]() |
long time i no show ![]() anyway, i think this thread has been derailed with unnecessary word play but then let me make my simple and probably final contribution... while the argument for the existence of god/gods is inconclusive, it is quite naive to come such a conclusion based on intuition or logic alone as DS will like us to believe. mankind has intuited falsely about a lot of things in the past...the cause of lightining, thunderstorms, the Sun etc. it is complex ignorance and escapism to say that just because we see a very complex entity then it is logical to conclude GOD!!! this position poses more questions than answers and you, DS knows that. you have been asked severally on this forum to explain your concept of God and every month we see new explanations. there are some things the atheist do not know about the universe but it is cowardice and escapist to make fantastic assumptions about them without any proof or evidence whatsoever. saying GOD!!! kills of every avenue for enquiry. it merely states the position we were already assuming. God created the universe? for what? pray tell.... i do not state that there is no god. i simply say that i do not believe in god because i see no evidence for any, and that includes your deist god DeepSight. i could intuit all i want but it all boils down to conclusive evidence. if i cant get that then all i eventually did was wishful thinking.... where is your conclusive irrefutable evidence for GOD!!!? show us and let us examine it. until then, save us your fantastic theories and intuition. |
Autosuggestion, confirmation bias, superstition, complex ignorance etc. mix it all in a giant pot of religion....and voila! Nigeria @53. make una carry go. |

The only thing i saw there as a compelling reason was his fear of HELL!!! Lol, really? People do convert from atheism to christianity, to islam etc and vice versa but this has got to be one of the silliest reasons around i've ever heard. For this reason i think this story is false. Anyway. . . Whatever floats your boat. ![]() |
Joshthefirst: smh. I did not bring you here to rate the thread. I invited you so you'd see truth.hehehehehe. I couldn't resist quoting this. For some reason i just couldn't stop laughing. ![]() @Tex, i hope you realise the implications of saying that your gods morality changed from the old testament to the new testament? |
plaetton: You are the one who is being comical.The thing tire me. Just after my second reply to his post, i understood where all this was heading to. . . |
Deep Sight: This statement is a trick, and an old tired one at that.Check the last 5 pages of your thread "Who The Hell Said The Big Bang And Evolution Explain Life?" and also, do you remember the reason why you opened the thread? Do you still think i'm being trickish? |
Secret_Dreams: If only you knew...smhWhat do YOU know? Superstitious fools. Keep living in fear and ignorance while the whole world leaves you behind. . . |
