Actually, I am happy to say to all concerned..... "read each and every comment posted above in the links". "Read the entire forum and gain perception into the mindset of a delusional narcissistic individual by the name of BADecker". The proof others seek are in those forums, all they need do is read them and discover the comments which you believe to be truth, have been proven false. I am sure each and every individual can and will make up their own mind. By posting your links, you have opened up the possibility that your words and those of your god will be found to be false. So, please keep spreading the dribble. the scientific proofs for the existence of God that I have shown have been rebutted, that rebuttal hasn't made its way to this forum, yet. If so, show it and explain it. Until you do, you are only proving that you are unable, and are thereby strengthening that proof with every post wherein you say that God doesn't exist.  The proof is in the discussion threads. Many have argued it, and proved it, and the only one to continue posting irrelevant crap is you posting your same argument. That makes you delusional as all science is peer reviewed, and the arguments rebutting your points are peer reviewed on this forum. That is the proof needed. No-one else posts your links..... why is that? |

In fact, there are probably quite a few atheists that would look up to you if you could explain even one. We are waiting. Do it soon. The longer you wait, the stronger the proof for the existence of God becomes in the minds of everyone. |

God is so extremely different in His nature that He is beyond understanding... by us, his houses. The difference between God and us is far greater than the difference between us and the microbes. No rebuttal there. |

Stats, why not address my proofs? Too challenging?
I point to strong evidence supporting the survival hypothesis.
This hypothesis is antithetical to humanism, and since a rationalist atheist is a humanist, this is one definitive proof that the position of rationalist atheists is wrong.
Consider the Definition of humanism as necessarily rejecting the survival hypothesis. That is, all humanists reject the supernatural, god(s), "life after death", etc. This is because humanism is Defined as the idea that Man is the basis for existence, thought, and ethics and acts as the founder and guarantor of knowledge and thought.
Consider the Rational Principle that all reason and thinking must be backed by substance (especially when it comes to the God-question) and that therefore any denial of (a Supreme being called) GOD as the guarantor and founder of knowledge and reason is necessarily an affirmation of (a Rational being called) Man as that guarantor.
Conclusion: The knowledge acquired from the evidence is in conflict with humanism; therefore, GOD is the guarantor of knowledge, not Man.

BUMP for the concise refutation of atheism. Think it through. "Let it be said that not all humanists are atheists, but presumably all atheists are humanists, since what else could they be?" Atheism and Secularity, Page 10 LinkOnly Man or GOD can be the guarantor of knowledge and thought (reason). I propose (along with Mr. Eller) that a rationalist atheist would also dismiss claims about the entire line of "spiritual" thinking, as nothing more than a metaphor run amok. This would be a mistake because Life after death is not a metaphor-- it is backed by 52 salient points of evidence. Now I am asking atheists to be rational with regards to the evidence; in common parlance this means that one can think clearly and is capable of intelligently assessing new ideas when presented. I have just presented evidence refuting humanism, defined as the idea that Man is the basis for existence, thought, and ethics and acts as the founder and guarantor of knowledge and thought. For the humanist, a soul is a foreign and inert concept--and nothing more than a concept, literally a word without a referent. All humanists are without a belief in the afterlife.I have proven that life exists after death, and that is where humanism is wrong about Man's consciousness. I hope humanists will try to responsibly address the evidence, and likewise for any atheist. |

You answered your own question. What you have stated is all hypothesis. Not fact, not proof. Have you met your God in person? Have you sat down with him/her/it? I am sure you have faith in your God, but that is not proof, because faith is a personal choice. Faith does not equal proof. Also, your conclusion is based on your own assumptions. You have assumed that because man is that guarantor, it lays the basis of conflict with humanism. I disagree and believe that man believing himself to be the guarantor, highlights evidence of humanism and negates any further need for god. |

The conclusions of humanism may be rejected for want of explanatory power, this kind of simple hypothesis does not lead us to expect the relevant data. Humanists should seek a robust explanation of all of their assumptions, and the same goes for survivalists. The data collected from mediumship or cases of the reincarnation type only serve as evidence for personal survival once various auxiliary hypotheses are introduced to facilitate the link between the data and the continued existence of the deceased person. This is often glossed over, or simply not acknowledged at all, because empirical survivalists routinely treat the survival hypothesis as a generic survival hypothesis, for example, the survival of individual consciousness, the mind, or the self. But this kind of simple survival hypothesis does not lead us to expect the relevant data, unless it is supplemented with a wide range of auxiliary statements about the knowledge, intentions, and causal powers of postmortem persons, as well as the mechanism or process of postmortem communication (in the case of mediumship) and rebirth (in reincarnation cases).

Have you met your God in person? Have you sat down with him/her/it? I have not but since this type of experience is common across cultures, I am led to believe that others HAVE had this experience. Carl Becker examined four ways in which NDEs may be considered objective: 1. Paranormal knowledge that is later verified 2. The similarity of deathbed events in different cultures 3. Differences between religious expectations and visionary experiences 4. Third-party observations of visionary figures, indicating that they were not merely subjective hallucinations. http://www.near-death.com/science/evidence.html#a7I am sure you have faith in your God, but that is not proof, because faith is a personal choice. Faith does not equal proof. You have faith/belief in humanism, but the data remains largely unexplained by such hypothesis. Also, your conclusion is based on your own assumptions. You have assumed that because man is that guarantor, it lays the basis of conflict with humanism. I disagree and believe that man believing himself to be the guarantor, highlights evidence of humanism and negates any further need for god.
Man appears to be the highest rational earth-being but he exists only on the basis of life force and consciousness, and consciousness is connected with one unity (per Godel and Chopra). http://kevincarmody.com/math/goedel.html |

If there is proof or evidence in the links for non-existence, express it. Read your answers..... stop posting your links as proof and read the answers. You have shown you know where your links are so follow them. You are an intelligent person.... I know you can do it. Hey, thanks for the advice. Re-reading my links makes me stand in awe of the great power and marvelous love of God. Now for your rebuttal of the scientific facts that prove that God exists? |

You don't want to accept science facts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737322.msg10718395#msg10718395https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1355109.msg14047133#msg14047133https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1662153.40https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1054513.msg16803380#msg16803380. You have a fine religion of ignorance going on there. Did you ever think of evangelizing it? Other religions have their TV evangelism, and make lots of money doing it. Think of how rich you could become. |

Psychologist Brian Nosek of the University of Virginia says that the most common and problematic bias in science is “motivated reasoning”: We interpret observations to fit a particular idea. Psychologists have shown that “most of our reasoning is in fact rationalization,” he says. In other words, we have already made the decision about what to do or to think, and our “explanation” of our reasoning is really a justification for doing what we wanted to do—or to believe—anyway.
Science is of course meant to be more objective and skeptical than everyday thought—but how much is it, really? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-25/trumpocalypse-liberal-ivory-tower-academia-collapsing"I was aware of biases in humans at large, but when I first “learned” that they also apply to scientists, I was somewhat amazed, even though it is so obvious"!Looking at all of the eminent researchers who believed in cosmic consciousness is inspiring. You can see that they overcame the biases of materialist scientism. https://sites.google.com/site/chs4o8pt/eminent_researchers |

I disagree and believe that man believing himself to be the guarantor, highlights evidence of humanism and negates any further need for god.
‘I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured. In short, a being whom only a Creator could put here; and this idea of a creating hand refers to God.’ Students of existentialism, the atheistic branch, will note that in this one sentence Sartre disavowed his entire system, his engagements, his whole life. http://nobelists.weebly.com/uploads/4/0/2/0/4020654/50-nobelists-english.pdf |
