Richirich713: In a postulation of a claim without empirical substantiation only the claim needs to be proven and the onus is on the claimant because how exactly can you disprove that which has not been proven to be in the first place. . . That is tantamount to nothing.. Let me demonstrate.. You see this picture of a table here, I believe, i have faith that there is a red cup on it now prove to me that there is no cup on top of it.. . 5 Likes 5 Shares |

Teempakguy: Again just another way of throwing words together, trying to give the impression he no what he talking. Atheist believe what they no know? Hahaha Did atheists no there's no God? No they just belief there's no God. Shame u don't even no what u urself believe. |

Richirich713:*facepalm* you have resorted to repeating things. so . . . that's over. first, black holes and what is inside them have been proved by science. if it wasn't, i wouldn't be saying it. in fact, the blackhole in the middle of our galaxy, which is sucking us in every minute, is named Sagittarius A* shows you we know what we are talking about. now, it is a proof in itself. the reason why it's called a theory is because we have never seen it. we know it happened. the mathematics works out. we have seen it's effects. if that's not what happened, then what happened is very very close to it. also, how many scientists do you know? how do you know they don't consider it as proof? why do you think the big bang theory is very popular among scientists? even more shocking, we created a mathematical-computational model of the big bang. and guess what? the result is exactly the universe we have now. in fact, most of astrophysics now is based on that theory. yeah. it's that good. on the other hand, i order you to prove to me that GOD existed. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Richirich713: One mistake you keep making here is mistaking atheism to mean scientism .. No there is no relation between atheism and science, science is not atheism in fact science has nothing to do with atheism. Science simply means study and is not a tool of either atheism or theism... E.G this big bang theory was first propounded by a theist in fact not just an ordinary theist but a catholic priest Georges Lamitre so please do not mistake atheism for scientism. Many people are atheists but they don't even know what science is neither do they know anything about it. Some atheist do not agree with scientific theories. there are even many atheists who believe things like witches etc.. Some atheists as well as a good number of theists agree with scientific theories like the big bang and so forth.. Someone who is an atheist simply means someone who don't have belief in personal Gods .. 5 Likes 4 Shares |

Richirich713:like i earlier said, belief is not what you are saying it is. it has nothing to do with evidence or proof anything. read my earlier posts. i hate repeating things. |

Re: I Wish There Was A God (A Reply) by johnydon22(m): 6:39pm On Oct 13, 2015 |
Richirich713: The existence of any deity is unknown now either in principle or fact... this means nobody really know the actuality of the claim because it is just a claim until proven otherwise so i agree with you here that nobody knows if a God (any deity at all) exists or not ..(position of agnosticism) .. You keep putting atheists into one bag, No atheist do not believe there is no God (Only a gnostic atheist exhibits such tendency) rather in the real sense, in the absence of tangible empirical substantiation, proof and the sheer implausibility of the claims abound an atheist simply disbelieves the claim (This is a position an agnostic atheist like myself..) 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Proving that no cup on a table proves there's no God? Are u drunk? |

Richirich713: Lmao actually it does depict the premise of the argument in every sense .. and i was hoping you would be at least honest enough to tender an answer so i can fully paint for you the picture of the whole setting.. You asked Teempakguy to prove a God doesn't exist.. why not attempt it surely my brother a table is clearly shown in that picture... 1 Like 1 Share |

hahn: Does it look like I'm going to debate u atheists on table as if this illustration of a table proves anything. The fact u talking nw about tables and red cups shows how weak and desperate ur argument has became. |
Re: I Wish There Was A God (A Reply) by johnydon22(m): 6:49pm On Oct 13, 2015 |
Richirich713: No sir leave the existence of God out of this... i am only concerned with the cup.. I am not saying there is no God in fact you won't hear me say that here... so nothing concerns my cup analogy with whether God exists or not.. I only want to show you fully the full picture of every position ... 1 Like 1 Share |

hahn:you know, the biggest problem when discussing with theists is making them realize the difference between the big bang and earth. you see, THEY think that the earth came out of the big bang. they can't understand how all this complexity could have come from an explosion, which in turn, came out of nothing, what they do not realize is, 1. the earth is ridiculously young when compared to the universe. the big bang was purported to have happened fifteen billions of years ago. the earth is just five billion years. they still can't realize that is just a random planet. orbiting a random sun, orbiting a random galaxy. among millions of other ones. 2. the big bang itself was never said to come out of nothing. it is very possible that the universe is eternal, but this current one, with all our galaxies and current physical laws, is just fifteen billion years and it is a recycled product. the singularity that exploded to from us obviously did not form from nothing. something made it. the closest thing to that is the black holes we see today. they are sucking everything back in. 3. the earth actually looks like this because it's very very old. when it was a baby, it was just a ball of rock. with no atmosphere, no water, no life, nothing. it was even reddish like mars. with a glow. shows you what time can do. Richirich713, this is for you. if you still don't get it . . . sorry. fun's over. 1 Like 1 Share |

Richirich713:lmao brother you are really becoming a bit hostile.. I want to illustrate for you the fully position of empirical substantiation, proof, belief and unbelief in relation to a claim.. I have no intent making it about the existence of a God so don't get defensive unnecessarily.. we all seeing the table.. so just a little attempt... it won't hurt i promise.. 1 Like 1 Share |

Richirich713: And i am telling you that this has nothing to with a God... for "God" sake it just an analogy.. don't get defensive my good friend.. The cup and table represent a cup and a table not a God... are you not seeing the picture my good sir.. Is there a red cup on that table or not.....

Richirich713: Richirich713: this is the point. the table is the universe, the cup is God. now, we say that there is no cup on the table just as we say god is not in the universe because we cannot see him as we cannot see the cup on the table now. now you say that god indeed exists. that is like saying the cup is really on the table. despite the fact that we cannot see it. and then you ask us to prove that god does not exist. that is like asking us to prove that the cup is not on the table. so . . . since you know there is god, here, despite the fact that we can't see him, why don't you prove it to us. if you cannot prove that there is a cup on that table. when none of us can see it, why are you shouting that god exists when we cannot see him in the universe? |

Teempakguy: 1st I no science teaches that the earth is young and I no it teaches the universe is much older. 2nd Hawking is the main drive behind the big bang and he said the world came from nothing not me. It was his own words, not ur words u want in his mouth. 3Rd if the earth never had those things I wonder where those things came from, get it yet? Again therefore there must be a creator who was eternal and intelligent not black hole manbo jumbo who with no intelligence creates the entire world intelligently. |

Teempakguy: Major difference boy, 1st I and u can see the entire table , I can see all the possible spaces where the cup can be placed on, I can't see the entire universe, in order for me to see everything in this universe I would have to be God. Which already shows how bad this illustration represents our argument. 1 Like |

Richirich713:great! you're getting it little by little. now, 1. the world did not come from nothing. the world is the earth. and I've already established that the universe was already here before the world arrived. 2. hawking is just one scientist. he isn't even the one that propounded big bang. he was joking. no one took that serious. except you. 3. no need to wonder. just ask and you will be answered. it costs literally nothing to open new topic and ask about these things. second Thessalonians chapter five verse twelve admonishes us to search all things before holding on to that which is true. you should have asked. 4. also, did this creator create just the world or the entire universe? |

Bro this is quite wrong...let me show you Richirich713:No sir actually science proposes a much much old age for the earth.. 4.5billion years old... only creationism proposes much younger age some of which is 6thousand years.
My good sir Msngr Georges Lamitre propounded the Big Bang theory and he is a catholic priest.. and his assertion was supported when the hubble telescope went into orbit and observed the universe was actually expanding like Lamitre proposed.. It came from the result of natural interactions.. e.g this sand dune is actually so finely done that you would argue it was done by an intelligent being .. But no sir it was done by action of wind on dust... so the beauty or precision in earth does not really suggest design but only shows diversity of natural interactions. . i wonder if Tsunamis are design too.. lol..
The results we have now only shows results of which you might perceive or recognize beauty in is as a result of natural interactions of elements resulting from another... But we should not still be quick to discard your design theory we should simply keep an open mind to what we can learn through study by first agreeing we don't know .. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Richirich713: Hahahahaha No sir we can't see the entire table... we are only seeing part of the table visible to us .. You are not seeing the back of the table, under the table, behind the legs or the other side of it... Check again to see you cannot see the entire table but only part of it..

Richirich713:you are the one who is claiming that some infinitely powerful creator put us here. not me abeg. you should find time to lecture us because seriously, we do keep an open mind and we are open to any truth you care to open our eyes too. now, i could simply argue that the cup is on the table but we cannot see it because we have too much sin on us. that if we are sinless and holy, the cup will open our eyes and we will see it. and you would believe that, right? |

1st of all wen I said science teaches earth is young I was comparing it to the universe suppose age. Which can clearly been seen due to the comment I was responding to. |
