So MRI scan is used to detect jealousy in human beings? Hhahhahahahha grin

If not already, it will be. fMRI is a pretty amazing tool. It can already be used to detect depression.

You can't disprove it divinity without first disproving God's existence m for the former proceeds from the later.
Testable evidence of evolution? Please share. I'm eager to learn.

Evolution: look at antibiotic resistance, breed of dogs, etc. Artificial selection works on the same principles and is testable.

Religion is not divine because of 1: errors and inconsistencies in all of them, and 2: the holy books are made of the same material as any other book. Using Occams Razor, I deduce that these books are also of human origin like any other book.

Sorry onetrack... but I can't spot God in that! Kindly change your 'supposed' real name which is not onetrack or don't derail this thread, not interested in your submission sad

Yes, my real name contains a reference to the Jewish god, but I'm not about to change it because I don't care enough about this issue, and I'm certainly not going to change it just because some offended Christian wants me to. That's laughable.

If I tell you that jealousy exists in my heart, how are you going to test it scientifically?

MRI scans as well as facial expressions, tone of voice etc.

In cosmology/astronomy, some of the ideas are just assumptions; some of the ideas are even conflicting ideas. Should we therefore dismiss them without further discussion? Evolution too is based on assumption. Should we therefore dismiss it too since we can't proof it? Furthermore evolution cannot even explain, the existence of animals in pairs (male and female) even by assumption.

The quote says that it may be dismissed without evidence, not that it should be or must be. Many of the great discoveries came from wild hypotheses which later had to be proved. The problem is that many theist say that their god exists and that their religion is true. I cannot disprove the existence of their god(s) but religion being divine can be easily disproved.

Evolution is absolutely not based on assumption, but on very careful and testable evidence.

My name has a reference to god in it, but since I don't believe he exists, I'm not worried about his wrath. As for people who might be butthurt about it, I could not care less about what they think.

In fact I should probably change my name to Yahweh or Allah.

Even if all of them are true, suppose this creator died in the Big Bang explosion.

The fact that GOD is not a part of the Universe should tell you that His existence cannot be proved by employing skeptical empiricism.

Then you are agnostic, like me.

It is wrong to believe everything can be tested scientifically. Very very wrong.

Even in the sphere of science, frequencies above a certain level cannot be measured, some wavelength of light cannot be detected.
Until theory of relativity came about, our understanding of the universe was very limited. Is it possible that there are still laws/theories undiscovered? Yes very well.

So, for me I'll say develop your science tool very well, then and only then will you be able to proof scientifically that the creator of the universe exist. For me there's God and he has always existed

In theory everything should be testable scientifically. While we don't yet have the means to do so for everything, anyone who says that something is true must be prepared to show testable evidence. Otherwise it can be dismissed without further discussion.

GOD is the sole Creator and Sustainer and not a part of the Universe.

Can you provide testable evidence for this?

OK so there is some disagreement about what atheists should do. Fine with me; debate and discussion should be a part of any thinker's repertoire.

I personally tend to take the side of Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens (PBUH) in the sense that atheists need at least some of us to be outspoken in the same sense that missionaries and preachers are. It is not for every atheist to speak openly about their non-belief, but at least some of us should be. People who grow up in deeply religious communities need to see that there is an alternative way of looking at the world.

I have derived my premise from the Bible. There is no point in quoting what you see as inconsistent and primitive.

The Bible, like all other books, was conceived and written by men. I have never seen a Bible made of divine material.

The evidence is around you. Everything does not exist in the same state and behave in the same way all following a universal law. Things exists in different realms.

And you can show me these other realm and the god that dwells within?
Religion / Re: The Wrong Way To Be An Atheist by onetrack(m): 9:01pm On Sep 29, 2016
Ontarget:

Just as the earthly realm and the space realm follows different laws and patterns, the realm of God is different on its own working system. On earth anything we throw up must surely come down, but it doesn't work like that in the space realm. In the earth and space realms everything that has a beginning must have and ending, but it doesn't work like that in the realm of God with an entirely different working system.

Do you have any evidence that we can examine or test scientifically? This is quite a claim you are making.

Wonderful stupidity!

Why must you speak for them?

When somebody says THERE IS NO GOD, what does that tell you?

Atheists say there is no God. But an agnostic doesn't make such claim as atheists do.

It's called agnostic atheism and combines belief and knowledge. Look it up if you need more explanation.

I say that there is no god but it is my opinion, not a statement of fact.

10 foolish things that foolish people believe.

1. Believing Big bang hoax was real.
2. God doesn't exist, but Dinosaur exist millions of years ago,.. also Believing the existing of alien.
3. Believing human evolve from apes. But in reality, nature never change.
4. Denying God, but talk about God more then theist.
5. Said, soul doesn't exist, but talk about soul mate.
6. Denying God, but blame God about their scientists man made diseases.
7. Always proud to said he/she is atheist in internet, but in reality scare to show off.
8. Complain religious teaching in schools, but providing fools and hoax education in book.
9. Always talk about changing world, but always criticise others, providing fools knowledge in reality. Guiding more and more in dark side of the world.
10. (Worst is) Pretending to be intelligent, but just a bunch of scientists and politics dog, who have hoax intelligent.

Sarcasm are for a weak mind

God is not confined to time and space. He exists in a dimension outside of time and space. Existing outside the universe would make Him absolute, infinite and totally uncaused.

Any evidence for this? Otherwise it is just an empty claim that anyone can make about any god.

. . . .Don't mean to sound all conspiracy-theoryish here - but many believe leading world governments are already working on advanced plans for drastic population reduction. . . .

I am not a conspiracy theorist and have not seen any evidence of this, however this could be true. The only problem is that standard ways of doing population reduction (diseases) cannot be easily controlled and could end up killing the people who started the plague to begin with.

Climate change, food shortages, depletion of resources, super viruses, nuclear warfare, asteroid impact, etc.

If we could bring the population down to about 1.5 to 2 billion that would be ideal for survival, in my opinion. And we may actually achieve that by the end of this century.

Because, you have not conclusively cancelled out the possibility of a creator. Which an average atheist has ALREADY cancelled out, and with a strong faith has believed the laughable "something comes from NOTHING".

Nonsense, most atheists are agnostic and do not rule out gods.
