FINNALY! ( thank you Nate)
you Atheists do believe, but in science..
did u know, that a theory.... It's a Theory!!
No proof, no one can claim, that there was a big bang..
No one can survive a HUGE big bang right ?

I punched my monitor at this.

SERIOUSLY SHUT UP!
THINK.

No one CAN survive a big bang, however there was NO-ONE ALIVE AT THE TIME TO DIE!

I already illustrated exactly why not

Allright, but i guess, that this conversation has to stop :P
u ppl can discuss this thread like days, weeks, months !
and still : The atheists stays atheist,
Believers stays believer.

!!!! :D

@ Articerile

No one CAN survive it, so no one CAN claim that there was a big BANG! ;)

I'll look into that sometime. But I still have to bring up, "How did the Big Bang occur? Where did that speck of dust come from?" Getting something from nothing really doesn't make any sense to me.


Oh, and DekuScrubby, thanks for a very informative response. I appreciate it. :)

This is where the theory comes in. These are the kinds of things scientists try to find out. There are theories such as a super-dense ball of matter as opposed to complete nothingness, or the theory of oscillating universes in which a Big Bang occurs immediately after the destruction or 'Big Crunch' of a previous universe, which would explain where all the matter came from. The object of this area of science is to try and find out which, if any of these theories are true.

And you're welcome, glad to be of service.

You originally said insult. "Make fun of" doesn't exactly soften the blow. It just shows that this is all just a superiority thing.

Yeah, I know. I was thinking of someone else, actually. "Makin' fun of" is the correct term when it comes to me, as I don't want to offend anyone so much as get them to laugh at themselves. Especially since I like to make fun of myself, too. ...and where I live... and when I live... and just about anything that I can plausibly make a joke out of.

I just don't tend to find things I can make a joke out of in science.

How would you know? There could have very well been a carbon based organism floating about in nothing before being wiped out by a huge explosion.

Oh, so you don't believe in God then? Or am I mistaken?

I'm just bringing up the fact that both are theories. I told you, I wasn't bring my beliefs into the mix.

Well, I got to get going. I have things to do. So I'm just going to end it on my part. Its pretty much pointless. G'night RWP.

If that's true, then the organism would survive.
But that's irrelevant.

"So a proton and a neutron walk into a bar together..."

And they have a few drinks and the proton professes his feelings to the neutron in a drunken uninhibited rant. And the neutron says, "Sorry, I'm just not attracted to you."

Is it even worth mentioning a carbon based life form would need some form of sustenance in order to survive?

No, it isn't, because there's nothing to suggest this life form ever existed.

But that is a someone! Therefore there could have been somthing before the Big Bang.(If that ever happend)

Edit: There was a lot of hydrogen around back then, all in a convenient ball... possibly.

AOL is skeptical, but they have posted the news. http://www.aolnews.com/world/article/evangelical-christian-groups-says-it-has-found-noahs-ark-in-turkey/19456378

I find it kind of odd that there are some of you who find it absolutely impossible that this could be true. Even if it seems unlikely, you should at least try to keep an open mind about this. The story claims that carbon dating was used, which is the same carbon dating that predicts the Earth is 4.5 billion years old. I understand people who are athiest, but to simply say that everything religious is wrong is no different than extreme Christians saying that there couldn't have been evolution. I'm personally unsure if the story is true or not.

I'm not sure if the original story is real. The fact of the matter is we have no way of knowing whether the event happened or not.

I already debunked why this isn't true on the FIRST PAGE. My god.

The only information we have been given so far is that this group says the carbon dating is 5000 years. Until we get better information, this is what I'm going off of. I understand not believing it since the source seems kind of fishy.

Oh that's so cool guys. I saw this title expecting to see a thread contrived of intelligent responses and some comedic backdrop. Instead I enter into another useless religious debate filled with "No you guys are retarded and I hate you because I'm immature and you believe in something like God. I'm gonna be cool and side with the others... I'm cool right?", "LOL I KNOW EVERYTHING CUZ I BELIEVE IN GOD LOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL", "No! No! no! You logic is flawed I have a book to back it up!", "No No! YOUR logic is flawed because all you have book and nothing else.", "PROOF PROOF I WANT PROOOOOOFFFF FFFFUUUUUU *butt hurt*".

Look the way I see things is this: Yes, I'm a Christian. Now before you guys are your retard cannons of blind hate and fury over just one simple sentence, keep reading. I also heavily believe in this one statement: "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." Of course I got this quote from Assassin's Creed (Live by the creed!), but it holds significance. By saying "Nothing is true" I allow myself to be able to keep an open mind to all possibilities. I consider all sides of an argument until presented with undeniable truth. Although I may closely follow Christianity and believe most of the stuff in that religion, I allow myself to see the sense in certain points of other religions. Extremists that refuse to accept any other type of logic give people like me a bad image. For instance, you Atheists say that my religion is flawed because all I have to go by is a few historical landmarks and a book. This is very true, I don't have much proof to back myself up, but is it wrong to believe in something? I have hope that all this is true, I have faith that it is. But I don't let that faith cloud my judgments. A wise man (whom I honestly cannot recall the name of) once said "I do not follow any set religion for I believe that all religions hold at least some [wisdom]." By listening with an open mind I have been able to humbly take into consideration certain things other religions believe. So although I closely follow Christianity, I leave myself with an open mind to be able to listen and respect others beliefs because honestly, just because we believe something out of a book, a scroll, a tablet, words out of crazy hobo's mouth, does not mean we know everything. It does not mean that our beliefs are the one and only true beliefs. I have no idea what exactly happens when I die, and neither do any of you. Whether I go to a heavenly paradise up to meet some omnipotent being, get remade into a squirrel, have a thousand virgins surround me with pleasures, or I simply fade to black is beyond me. But at least I have a little bit of something to believe. Maybe I do go to meet God, maybe I don't. Either way, with my open mind, I don't let one way of thinking rule my life.

Also, either the chicken came before the egg or they both came at the same time because the baby chick inside the egg would die without something to incubate it, i.e. the chicken.

Oh that's so cool guys. I saw this title expecting to see a thread contrived of intelligent responses and some comedic backdrop. Instead I enter into another useless religious debate filled with "No you guys are retarded and I hate you because I'm immature and you believe in something like God. I'm gonna be cool and side with the others... I'm cool right?", "LOL I KNOW EVERYTHING CUZ I BELIEVE IN GOD LOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL", "No! No! no! You logic is flawed I have a book to back it up!", "No No! YOUR logic is flawed because all you have book and nothing else.", "PROOF PROOF I WANT PROOOOOOFFFF FFFFUUUUUU *butt hurt*".

For the record I tried to do this for the first page of this thread until sam.26 refused to respond to my post because I was an atheist

Seriously great post. I agree with quite a bit of what you said. It's true that none of us really know whether our beliefs are correct, and I agree there is no reason to bash what someone else believes.

If you don't know, then you don't have faith, if you don't have faith, then you are going to hell. You can't be a christian and open minded or else you become a poor man's atheist.

Haha, I realize this next paragraph may be contradictory, but I guess I was unclear in my other, rather lengthy, post.

If someone claims they know something for sure, it's not faith, to them it's fact. And to me, to have faith means hoping that a certain something is real. I have a humble mind and do not automatically assume it is all true. I have very strong hopes that it is real, and believe, and trust in God and his son Jesus, and that to me is what is called having faith. I keep an open mind because of the fact that I do not know everything, and neither does my grandfather who sits up in the pulpit every Sunday morning/evening and every Wednesday evening preaching the word of God. Sure my way of thinking may be different to that of what you consider a "real Christian" (which to me, by the way you guys talk, is the definition of an extremist whom I dislike very strongly for giving people like me a bad name). So to you I'm not a real Christian. So be it, I accept your logic, but to me I am. I trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, but does that mean I cannot have an open mind about other people's views? But because I have faith and believe in The Lord, I have been saved and I'm not going to Hell, whether I go to heaven or some other place, that is one thing I most certainly do believe. I respect all of your opinions and beliefs, therefore, I ask that you do the same for mine with an open mind.

Also, I would just like to add a little personal note here: Is it wrong to believe and live by the words in the Bible? Some of the stuff in there teach good ways of becoming a good person such has humility, honesty, forgiveness, trust, kindness, and generosity to just name a few. So believing in, and living by, some things in the Bible is not completely ludicrous.

Stop treating it as if there's some sort of "christian hate". We don't like people who talk like they know what they're talking about when they clearly don't, not Christianity itself.

That said, I don't like Christianity - but I won't let the fact someone is Christian in the way of anything.

That wasn;t directed at you, there was a previous user in this thread who I honestly can't remember, that blatantly said that they disliked a fellow member for the sole fact that he was a Christian.

Having faith does not mean that you believe everything in your religion is fact. To have faith simply means you choose to believe in a certain god. I consider myself a Methodist, but I'm not 100% positive my views are correct. Christians who believe that everything going against the bible is wrong are those that make all Christians sound extreme. Just because some psalm writers talked about the ends of the Earth does not change the fact that the Earth is round. Writers in the Bible were just writing based off the knowledge they had at the time. There is no reason that there cannot be God and science, i.e. God set off the big bang or set up evolution.

Your own mindset is contradictory Aryka. You claim that you "hope that it is all real," but then factually state that you "Trust Jesus" and "have been saved and are not going to Hell".

I, personally, don't trust many people who I only hope are real, btw.

I don't see how that's relevant. Are you perceiving a black hole right now?

My point is, the only way to know something is to sense it. So as long as you can't see, hear, feel, smell, or taste it, to you it's as if it's not there.

How can you be sure you didn't just pop into existence this very moment, and all the memories you have aren't lies?

Cycling this back to intelligent design, we only know what he wants us to know more then likely. Being a god, he or she can twist our perceptions, do anything. Maybe there's a god, and he just doesn't want us to know about him.

Proving one does not have to directly see something to perceive it isn't relevant? Lol okay cj.

As to your second point... I guess this means my schizophrenic delusions are real.

Point 3: There's no evidence to even remotely suggest that.

Punto Cuatro: More than likely? For something to be "likely," there must be statistical evidence in the first place. Even so, if we go by Christianity that still doesn't make sense, you know with the whole flooding the world and smiting people and sending himself down as his son thing.

EDIT: I just came up with a better example for point one. We're conversing right now, and yet you perceive me without directly observing me.

This is the only thing that has intrigued me, and I here I provide a counterpoint. It's really simple actually. I'm just going by what I think... I don't have any sort of citation. Even if I did, the "perception argument" would defeat them.

But how would I know they and you existed before I perceived them?

Why would things only exist at the exact moment? To have things arranged so specifically that they're happening only when perceived? Okay, so I'm walking down the street. That street doesn't exist when I'm not experiencing it with any of my senses... but we know it would've had to be built beforehand. Unless you're suggesting I'm not real and/or that the street and how it was built is a product of your imagination and you're just going through this dreamscape and you're the only thing in an existence that is entirely your own. Cj, that thinking is dangerous and freaking insane. You know that. It's fun for a child's makebelieve what-if scenario, but at the end of the day it's just making things needlessly difficult.

Just for the record if anybody cares, it's the egg that came first. Not chickens. You're better off asking if organisms appeared first or the egg.

As for the Big Bang, we don't actually know what happened before it. It's never been stated that there was nothing before the Big Bang. There was something, something that probably cannot be observed. M-theory states that it's a membrane crashing upon ours, the energy creating a massive explosion.

It's really a beautiful and complicated theory.

As for the thing about the Big Bang and God both being theories. There is actual evidence to support the theory of the Big Bang.

There isn't enough for the theory of a God because you cannot die and come back to life. There isn't any physical evidence either. Your only reasoning is that because we are intellectual beings, we must have been created by an intellectual being. Which is funny because shouldn't every animal have the ability to rationalize?

The thing about our reasoning skills is that it's more evolved than something we have genetically. I have evidence on that by the way.

Here is a nice documentary on M-theory which should cover most of the basics about the Big Bang and other stuff. It's interesting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7FV9aaiwKQ

Now here is a good question, if we are intellectual beings and assume we've been created by an intellectual being, how did we come about if this "God" had no tools to mess with? Either existence has always existed, which I'm starting to be more inclined towards... or something really did come from nothing.

Here's the deal about nothing. You cannot get something from nothing. It's impossible. 0 + 0 =/= 1 If you take nothing and add nothing, you don't get something. So I'm more inclined to believe, existence has always existed.

If religion wants to see it as we are intellectual, therefore a God with intellectual abilities designed us. Then I can re-word this to.... "We are something, therefore a something designed us with something." So, obviously, we didn't come from nothing. It just seems as if the Bible claims that a God popped everything into place from nothing.

The Big Bang says we came from something and we don't know what that something is before it.

I always hear people upset that "Christians are being lumped together." Christians are being lumped together, because they all share a common thread. Each one of you believes, without reason, that a very specific something outside of the realm of your perception exists. The concept is both illogical and irrational.

People argue that they believe in the Big Bang, don't believe the stories in the Bible are literal, etc. To be honest, it is all complete irrelevant. All you are doing is placing yourself on a different position of the illogical scale. You're essentially saying "I'm not as bad as the other Christians." Everyone, and I mean legitimately everyone, who doesn't believe is automatically more intelligent than you are based on NOTHING more than not believing. It has nothing to do with your opinion on dinosaurs, if the Earth is round or not etc.

Now before anyone even points it out, there is a difference between being smart and being intelligent. Smart is a measure of your mental collective where as intelligence refers to your ability to place things into said mental collective, solve problems, rationalize, etc. You can be a very smart nuclear scientist and still not be intelligent.

If you read the actual study, it shows that it is the outliers of a community that are the most intelligent... the ones that don't go with the flow. So an Atheist in the United States is more intelligent, but a Catholic person in Japan is more intelligent.

As for reasons why people would believe in a God, major aspects are the beginning of the universe (because the Big Bang Theory is very well founded, but the other theories relating to it are tentative still, and people want to know what happened before the Big Bang, even though technically the answer is nothing if it started time). It's pretty much been stated by scientists that if they find that there is only one universe, there is almost certainly a God, and if there isn't, it doesn't discredit a God but makes there being no God a little over 50%. Also, the Shroud of Turin is something interesting to look at... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shroud_of_Turin
I've had to debate this against religious people, and I found myself having a hard time proving it wasn't real, especially based on the more recent evidence. Of course, this is for Christian arguments.
Christians, feel free to add to these arguments if you wish. I am tired and I am not Christian.

EDIT: Oh, and in response to Alakazam's statement that "If you're a Christian and you're open minded, you don't have faith. If you don't have faith, you're going to hell." Actually, most mainstream Christian religions (I'm going based on Roman Catholicism) say that you don't need to be Christian to go to heaven. As long as you perform genuinely good deeds, you don't need to be burdened by an affiliation to get out of hell.

Of course, this brings about the question "Then why is anyone a Christian in the first place?" Most Christians can't answer that... but I guess they need to have a book to hold on to just in case they screw up sometimes on being good.

No, science and religion can go together. What makes you think the bible contradicts the big bang and evolution?

They directly contradict each other. Go read Genesis. It explains how god snaps his metaphysical fingers and makes things appear, such as fully evolved life forms, the sky, light and darkness etc in seven days.

They all have their different interpretations on stories from what they've seen, so Mark's and Luke's Gospels could contradict eachother. Some of it written is based on either like you said the word of God or what they saw when they followed as disciples of Jesus.

But yes, I suppose some things in the Bible could be wrong. God never directly wrote it, so there could be many misinterperations and changes.

No, I don't think it does. The NT nullifies a lot of the rules in the OT (such as stoning women to death who weren't virgins on their wedding night) but doesn't actually say that none of the stuff in the OT happened.

Also, what does Exodus have to do with this? We're talking about Genesis. And Romans 2:29 is about who is and isn't a Jew. 7:6 pretty much says what I said, it's the laws of the OT that are nullified and not the documented events. 2 Corinthians 3:6 doesn't say anything about the events not happening either.

I'm positive that darkness was around until God created light. I don't know why he said "Let there be light" let alone in English ... but that wasn't the first thing he did. He created Heaven and the Earth before light, the Earth which was void without form (and as Ricky Gervais is quite amazed at - He created everything in the dark!) and then he shaped it, and made light. Nothing in Genesis refers to the Big Bang. Nothing in Genesis refers to evolution either. God created everything at once.

It's at this point where you're purposely avoiding my point and trying to make it look like something it isn't. I meant Genesis says God created everything in seven days. In such a random and short period of time. Religion and science can't co-exist. All you have is faith. Science relies on experiments and tests and evidence. Genesis says the first man was created from dust and the first woman from the first man's rib bone. Even though he could've just created them without using the dust or the bone. That God talked to them. That he gave man the punishment to work and women the punishment to feel pain during child birth and he punished snakes by making them crawl on their belly because the snake convinced the woman to eat an apple from a tree when God said it was forbidden. That he created every animal from the beginning.

Do you realize how crazy it all sounds and how science has debunked all of it? Actually you don't even need science, just common sense. Now I'm done. I always repeat myself in these debates. The point can be pushed no further. Believe what you want. I don't know why I even care what you think. You don't have the capacity to abide by reason and logic.

Just for the record, time isn't defined by the rotation of the Earth anymore. A day is 86,400 seconds. An individual second is defined as the length of time it takes for a certain amount of oscillations (I forget the number, but it is large) to pass when cesium atoms absorb microwave radiation.

I know, I was just pointing out a contradiction I thought of.


Anyway, as someone already said, I guess it's fine to believe in some superior existence, call it wathever you like, since there's only so much we know, you could call the start of existance God, or flying spagheti monster as well. As rational beings that have self conscience and think about all that surrounds us, it's normal to need something to hold on to when faced against concepts whe can't grasp. So I guess the appearance of religions was normal and helpful in it's ways, but you can't seriously take every (if any) part of their story as a fact, that's just stupid. A lot of things probably did happen, obviusly earth started to exist at one point, egiptians did have slaves, a flood really occured, and probably some guy named Jesus became a big revolutionary on it's society and time, but nothing was created out of the blue in 7 days, no one opened the sea in two, not every living being died on the flood 'cept for the couples on a wooden ship, and no one turned water into wine.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's fine to see religion with perspective and understand it, but don't take it as a fact and base your life around it and a higly unlikely existing God.

And Romans 2:29 is about who is and isn't a Jew. 7:6 pretty much says what I said, it's the laws of the OT that are nullified and not the documented events. 2 Corinthians 3:6 doesn't say anything about the events not happening either.

Like I said, Paul said to the Corinthians and the Romans in those passages to look beyond the literal meaning of the Old Testament and take the spirit of it into account. Exodus is directly related to Genesis, having occurred right in the early days of the world, supposedly. Also, relating to Genesis, Paul talks about the Adam and Eve story symbolically, saying Adam is like Jesus, and Eve is like the church, and their marriage as thus. Noah and the flood is also a symbol of baptism and regeneration, and even Abraham is an allegory.

As for Jesus himself, again I say that he constantly refers to events in his life as things that happened in the past. The Temple of Jerusalem, Moses lifting up the snake, etc. It's pretty clear how not too much of the Old Testament needs to be taken seriously by New Testament standards.

Also, I don't have much to say about the time Genesis took place in, but like I said it wasn't meant to be taken literally anyways. That's why it can be interpreted by modern day standards.

They directly contradict each other. Go read Genesis. It explains how god snaps his metaphysical fingers and makes things appear, such as fully evolved life forms, the sky, light and darkness etc in seven days.

It is very possible that the opening of Genesis was written based on knowledge they had at that time. With no knowledge of modern science, the idea of the Earth being created in 7 days could have at that time been the most likely way the Earth began. If you read any World History book, you realize that we know very little about the beginning of time even now. There is very little confirmed information about anything until the Cenozoic era.

Going off of the ideas of the Big Bang and evolution, there is no reason God could not have set them off. We have no way of knowing how the energy that created the Big Bang came to be, or where the element that created the first single cell organisms came from.

Funny, God should be able to manipulate the system and activate his own account. Even infinite cosmic power has trouble getting confirmation emails from this place.

So you insult me by saying I should be everywhere at once, make me relive a horrible moment in my life... THEN ask for a favor? See now I'm starting to remember why I left in the first place.

And so to conclude, the Bible is absolute bollocks, and should not be taken seriously at all. Let there never be another stupid, immature religious debate on the RWP unless the Christians will take into account obvious scientific fact and recognise it as truth. The Lord has Spoken.

You bet, you guess, you think, you don't really know. Somehow you think that you're so great, that you're better than the scientific community. You just have to get over yourself. The evidence for evolution is more than you're giving against it. Read a book. The evidence holds strongly against anything else (God magically did it for no reason) and it's the best we've got.


*ahem*


FOSSIL.

Whoa there calm yourself, just because I don't believe in evolution doesn't mean I'm better than, or hate, the scientific community, I'm just saying that I don't agree with the whole evolution part of it. Besides scientists have been known to be wrong in the past, and I'm sure they will be wrong in the future. I think the whole whale thing is one of those things.
