Wow its shocking to hear how many people would not return it.....

I would take 10-15% for myself, find the address it came from, and return the rest.

That could be someones life savings they accidently sent you...I would feel very bad indeed.

You mean the "proof" that has been handed down 30-50 years of oral passing on before being written down?
The mis-quoted, mis-translated to the umteenth time, copy of a copy so called "inerrent" word of god?

That proof??

SBB strikes again! Thanks for the laugh bud, appreciate it.

"You can't refute my scientific proof with your scientific proof so therefore god exists" Rofl!

Its amazing the twists and turns and double backs and hairpin turns you guys have to justify your nonsense fairytales.

And exactly what Asgarth said in his post before mine is what I have been saying all along.

I've had a good chuckle at your responses SBB....you have been so overwhelmed and shot down more times than I can count in this thread alone, never mind the Health and Religion thread. Yet you continue to hang in there grimly, like your "dog" hanging onto its last meager bone. Got to give you props for sticking it out.


You are correct in saying that if you can't refute science with science, the science stands.

The science I am talking about is not some eccentric, off-the-wall science that nobody understands. It is science that is in common use by both, all the scientists around the world, and everyone else, as well.

You don't have to like science. There is nobody requiring that you like science. But badmouthing me just because you can't find a scientific method to rebut the basic science of the world that I have shown, shows the bad faith in your heart, and the troll that you are.

I expect you don't even realize that you are a troll when you talk science down like this. So, refute the science with science. Here it is again so that you can begin:

Cool

SBB, Im bad mouthing you cos you are just too easy.  Anything and everything you say is meant to prove that you are supposedly of such high intellect that only you can understand the science needed to prove your ridiculous god.

And so I stand by my previous statement: You are assuming things based on your beliefs and views. Your basic science is collective and coloured with YOUR opinion. I'm not badmouthing science, I love science. I refuse to refute your so called science purely because your putting your beliefs in certain scientific fields that YOU believe means god. Do you understand SBB? I have always been talking about the root cause of WHY and HOW you put your faith in your so called science-which-explains-god....not the actual science.

People could believe that the square root of the angle of the sun divided by the length of a bird's wings could mean god.....any of these things individually exists. Put them together and to THEM it means god. As does your collection of so called science mean god to YOU. None of these proves the scientific existence of god.

See SBB? Probably not....your prolly gonna come back with some witty comment about not talking science in a science thread when your JUST TOO DENSE to understand what I'm actually saying. Sorry I'm talking over your head, its that pesky cognitive dissonance again.

Badecker, I'm gonna call you SBB(SunBakedBrick) from now on...as you are really living up the name exceptionally well.

I'm sure no-one wants to wade through almost two pages of text replies so I'm going to keep this short and sweet:
1. Your science of god and proof that you keep going on about.... is hogwash. You have NOT presented ANY scientific proof at all. You have a theory and opinion.

So in conclusion SBB, you have nothing....CE and complexity does NOT meet the requirements for explanation or proof of existence of god.

The end.

Why are you focusing on my delusions? You know nothing about them. And, they aren't part of this thread.
Because your delusions are what you are basing your reasoning, your belief and your entire argument in this thread on. So it most certainly is part of this thread.

Quote
That's the point, and I explained it already. Your belief against something doesn't make your belief true. Again, the example is your belief in Big Bang. You believe it is true because your want to, or because you like believing other people who say it is true. You don't know BB is true because you don't understand the math. Believing it doesn't make it true.

I'm so glad you seem to be understanding where I'm coming from....you just need to turn Big Bang into god and you have my point of view!

Quote
Same with the scientific proof for the existence of God. If you don't understand the proof - be it for or against - all you have is a belief.

You seem to be missing the point....again. Take off the god coloured glasses for just a teeny bit....and see the bigger picture.

Quote
It seems that you and Astargath don't understand the proof for the existence of God, because you don't understand your own proof against the existence of God enough to explain it. Both of you are entirely talking religion. So, it is religion for you, but for those who understand, it is knowledge.
That statement is so full of contradictions, I'm not even sure where to start.....Ok here goes:
1. We are saying there IS no proof. None. Zip. Zero. Nada. We are saying we can't understand it because there just is none. At all..... Like none to be found.
2. 'because you don't understand your own proof against the existence of God enough to explain it' We don't try to claim any such thing because THERE IS NO GOD.
3. So because we are saying there is none....we are NOT taking it on faith because evidence to support such a claim is not....and has not to date.....ever been brought forward in the history of human civilisation.
4. "To those that understand, it is knowledge" Again you are talking about people having faith...to believe in an invisible sky daddy watching over you 24/7.

Quote
No. It is your beliefs, because you are the one talking about belief without showing proof for what you say.
I don't have to show proof for anything my friend.....the burden of proof is all on you religious nutjobs. Smiley

Quote
You have just admitted that having religion means that you don't know....but yet are stating....(as a fact that cannot be verified by anyone else) that YOU know god exists....and scientifically at that...wow did you find something that can be proven, demonstrable, quantifiable, testable and repeatable that thousands of other scientific people have somehow missed???
Quote
How do you know that it has not been verified by anyone else? Before the apple hit Isaac Newton on the head, there might not have been any theories for gravity. If Newton was the first, he was the first. There has to be a first, if it exists.
Yawn....Argument for First Cause Fallacy....again. If it was verified by anyone....it would be world wide news...it would be in every scientific magazine around the globe.....which it is not.

Quote
What does having a religion or not, have to do with the fact that God exists?
The very definition of religion:
Definition of religion - the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
Source: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/religion

Quote
It is simply a religion for you due to your unwillingness or inability to understand the proof. Since I understand the proof, and can explain it, and have explained it, it is not a religion for me. Just because I have certain religious beliefs, does not mean that they include the things I have factual knowledge of. Same for you.

Wow its like talking to a sun baked brick....I might actually get better answers out of it. YOUR opinions and YOUR beliefs have shaped how you responding to my queries. YOU are claiming to understand the proof, have the proof...and claim its factual knowledge. Lets put this in terms a 5 year old could understand cos clearly its going right over your head:
WE are stating that YOUR opinions about claiming to have factual knowledge of proof is bull crap. A big steaming...pile of bull crap! There is no proof because there is no god. Simple enough?

Quote
Faith is all inclusive, because we all live by faith. This means we all have religion.
I totally understand why a religious person would say that. Because for you, faith = religion.
This is what I am trying to get into your head......Non religious based people are not. Faith does not equal religion for me. I have faith the sun will come up tomorrow...and I'm aware that science has proven that we are on a planet turning around the sun and it will rise tomorrow and its based on fact. Hard proven fact that can be looked up. I'm just too lazy to actually go and find the actual hard evidence. But it's there....unlike the evidence for your god.

Quote
Science theory and hypotheses are not always facts. So science is not always facts.
Yes, that is true, and science is always happy to revise its theories when proven wrong....unlike religion.

Quote
There are formal religions that do not include a being to be worshiped. Buddhism is one example.
Yes, but they are not claiming to have factual knowledge of their beliefs. So moving on....

Quote
Another example is the faith that we all live by all the time, as I stated in the paragraph above this one.
I have responded to that already.

Quote
LOL. People know that gravity exists because it is around them all the time. They use it everyday. Scientific theories and formulas for gravity may or may not have anything to do with the fact of gravity. Gravity, being fact, doesn't necessarily have anything to do with science. Why? Because gravity was known to exist long before science came along. When you talk about gravity here, your density is starting to match that of notbatman in the FE thread.
Right...so the vikings knew thunder and lightning existed too. They called it god.
You only know it was a fact because science has proven it. Not religion or faith. Lots of things were also known to exist long before we had science to nail down HOW and WHY of things. Thats why your god is dwindling....its the god of the gaps..and science is closing that a bit more every day.

Quote
The fact that you respond to my posts is allowing a little of my authority over you. Now you are inviting more. Why do you immerse yourself in things that you detest so much? You are submersing yourself in my authority and continuing to ask for more.
And the fact that you are responding to my posts must mean I have a little authority over you. Long as I'm wasting your time....you have less time to brainwash someone else. Smiley

Quote
Actually, this might be true. There is some interpretation of parallel universe theory that suggests that spiritually speaking, we might all be in our own universe. But that concept is way beyond anything that this forum is capable of handling, and certainly this thread.
Agreed. And I notice you didn't disagree with my description of your god. Am I finally getting through to you?

Quote
Well, do you have scientific proof for it? I mean, can you show the scientific proof? Showing it doesn't mean I will understand it. But if you literally have proof for it, the least you could do is show the proof as I have shown the proof for the existence of God.
I could happily show you the proof! Want me to post a picture?

Quote
However, BB was only an example. If there is any point in science that has been proven to you, based on someone telling it to you, or on your reading of it in a book or somewhere, without the understanding on your part of how it is a fact, then it is part of your religion... a religious belief for you... even if it is believed by millions of others, and known by still other millions.
Again its the faith = religion for science bull crap......science is NOT a religion for the umteenth time.

Quote
People at church believe the priest or minister when they are told things about the particular religion. They often don't know if what they are being told is true or not. Yet they believe (or not). If you don't have and understand the proof for things like the diameter of the sun, or the distance to Jupiter, but have only believed what others have said, then it is all religion for you, even if it is 100% true and factual.
I understand what you are saying, but just flatly disagree with it.


Quote
The scientific proof for the existence of God might not be understandable to you, just like other scientific fact might not be understandable to you. We are in a forum. So, you have the right to state that you don't believe something, even in a "proof" thread. But if you are absolutely sure, show the proof. At least Astargath attempts to show the proof that God doesn't exist a little, or that the proof that He exists is faulty. All you do is blab religion.
Awww am I irritating you? Shampies....
I don't have to prove anything. You are the one claiming to have proof. Which is bogus and has been bogus this entire time. Astargath and I are just the only ones calling you out on it , since you seem to be so desperate to negate whatever we say.

My delusions might be wrong and irreversible

I'm glad you acknowledge that. Just carry on in that line of thinking. Expand it, feed it...the truth will set you free.

Quote
but the fact that science proves that God exists isn't one of them.
Ah right...now this is a problem......what FACT exactly? Your belief in something does not make anything TRUE.

EG: I could BELIEVE the distance to Jupiter is 300 million kilometers away....I could believe this so strongly I would testify under oath....it still does not make it TRUE when the actual distance is 588 million kilometers. Don't you want to believe in things that are TRUE? Don't you think believing things that are TRUE would be more beneficial as opposed to things that you would like to be true....but still aren't?

Quote
The fact that God exists isn't religion.
Again, your beliefs are presupposed here.

Quote
Religion is something that we don't really know, but have to take on faith or trust. Since I know that God exists, scientifically,
You have just admitted that having religion means that you don't know....but yet are stating....(as a fact that cannot be verified by anyone else) that YOU know god exists....and scientifically at that...wow did you find something that can be proven, demonstrable, quantifiable, testable and repeatable that thousands of other scientific people have somehow missed???

 
Quote
it is you who are including yourself in potential non-facts, which you call a religion because you don't understand the science involved. So it isn't my religion. It's yours.
This makes no sense. Religion =  faith. Science = facts. Religion = worshipping and giving thanks to an imaginary being for imaginary deeds. Science = not worshipping gravity cos facts state it is F = Gm1m2/r2.

Quote
My authority over you is close to nothing. If you spit on it, and refuse it, then you must be accepting, or at least inviting, greater authority over you.
Actually not. Im rejecting the very idea....the thought...the inkling of an idea.  

Quote
My God is the God of the universe. Are you trying to push yourself out of the universe? Just because you don't know that He owns you, doesn't mean He doesn't.
Yet again...presupposing YOUR beliefs. Clearly my universe which I am currently existing in is different to your universe, which seems to have no room for you, as its taken up by an egomaniacal, pompous windbag.....who has no self esteem and relies on everyone else telling him how great he is.

Quote
Just because you write on a napkin "the Flying Spaghetti Monster owns everything in the universe. Its written...therefore it must be true," doesn't mean that it is true
.
Pot calling the kettle black much???

Quote
For example. You might think that you know that Big Bang is real. But if you don't understand BB math, you really only believe, and BB is really only a religion for you. Someone else who knows the math might know that BB could actually be real.
Technically i'm agnostic on the idea of a big bang.....so moot point.

Quote
The point is, you are talking religion in this science thread.
And yet your the one throwing science as a religion? Contradiction much?

Science is NOT a religion. Science can back its statements with FACTS. Religion on the other hand...cannot.

Yes I might be taking it on faith that things I have not personally seen and run tests on exist in science, like the diameter of the Sun? I'm taking it on faith that the distance to Jupiter is 588 million kilometers...but other people have run tests....and they have confirmed it using science and scientific methods with equipment
that can verify it....over and over again.

Scientific proof for god...... still none.

Badecker it really is pointless trying to reason with you. Your delusions are irreversible. Wrong and irreversible.

And how dare you include me in your religious delusion.

I refute, refuse and spit on your so called authority over me....your god does not own me cos your silly book of old toilet paper says so. I could also write on a paper napkin that the Flying Spaghetti Monster owns everything in the universe. Its written...therefore it must be true.......There, you now belong to Him.

And once again you are arguing from a fallacy : https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority

You want to see your god in everything...fine, go right ahead. But leave other people out of your delusions.

Once you tell them your straight and they have no chance, they are just normal people with a different sexual preference to you.

And considering everyone has different sexual preferences..that makes them like everyone else.

Cause and effect have sweet nothing-at-all-to-do with scientific methods.....its a process of elimination, gathering intel\data and arriving at a conclusion...or sometimes not depending on if any tests or experiments were even able to be done.

Please take off the god coloured glasses....your C&E arguments are weak and baseless.

I could also find evidence that everything comes from the Flying Spaghetti Monster.....all hail his noodly appendage! No matter where I look I seem to find the truth of this....why are all the planets shaped like meatballs if He didn't create us??
Why do roads wind around like spaghetti on a map? Why is the colour of spaghetti so soothing?? I just want everything to taste like meatball and spaghetti sauce. It could only be as He wills it. I am lost without Him....like that spaghetti strand that falls out of your bowl that you don't see until after your meal.

There's god.
Though it (the god) might not know we exist.

The complexity of cause and effect shows that God knows every microscopic and macroscopic piece of the universe entirely and completely.

When it comes to the possibility of God's existence, the Bible says that there are people who have seen sufficient evidence, but they have suppressed the truth about God.1 On the other hand, for those who want to know God if he is there, he says, "You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you."2 Before you look at the facts surrounding his existence, ask yourself, If God does exist, would I want to know him?

Right so straight off the bat the very first sentence says it all....the bible "says".

Hes talking about the complexity fallacy:

Fallacy 1: The World Needs God As Creator Fallacy
A traditional and still popular notion is that the world is so complex that it needed God to create it. Our origins fascinated even ancient societies and various myths described creation. Monotheists started from ancient times to claim God was necessary as the Creator. This has continued through Thomas Aquinas and William Paley even to Antony Flew who eventually converted to theism because he came to see a need for a creator God as designer of our world.

However the notion that a sophisticated world needs God as its Creator and designer is logically fallacious in two major ways.

Even the most famous design argument and analogy, that of William Paley (1743-1805) who wrote just as a sophisticated watch (unlike a rock) implies a watchmaker, a complex world implies a Creator who is God, has this fallacy. Suppose, as Paley did, that a watch implies a watchmaker, that watchmaker is not God and is not immortal. Likewise even supposing the world has a Creator, that Creator need be neither God nor even immortal. Furthermore, unlike in Paley’s day we are aware not just of evolutionary processes but also of robotic manufacture and artificial computer-like intelligences. Yes, there is a mystery concerning our ultimate genesis, but God is not needed as the solution.

The other fallacy is if one claims the world required a more sophisticated being, God, to create it, one is attempting to solve a problem by creating a yet greater problem. If we are in need of a creator God who is more powerful and greater than us to bring us into existence, that greater God being more wondrous than us would be even more in need than us of some Creator to create and explain it! Indeed as, unlike us, God would be immortally God, it could not develop nor evolve to its present glory over time but must be from the very beginning omnipotent and omniscient – an extraordinary phenomenon, far more inexplicable than even us. Far from solving or explaining the problem of our ultimate origin, the concept of God is actually massively enhancing the problem.

So the notion that God is needed to or even can satisfactorily explain existence as we see it is logically fallacious.
