Blah blah blah, just another way of saying u can't prove there's no God.

U don't KNOW if there's no God.
U believe there's no God, no proof.


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..

this is getting boring. undecided

belief is NOT when you think some thing is true without evidence. for god's sake, are you a slowpoke? i've been repeating the same thing over and over again.

belief is thinking something is true. it is a general word. you can believe anything for any reason. and the reason atheist believe stuff is because they KNOW it's true.


for instance, i can say,
"i believe the apple you are about to throw up will fall. and you won't be able to eat it if you fail to catch it and it falls into the ocean."

just because i said i believe there doesn't mean i don't know it's true or that it cannot be proven that apples do fall when thrown up.
belief is another way of saying, i accept this is true. angry

Again just another way of throwing words together, trying to give the impression he no what he talking. grin

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.

Does it look like I care wat hawking thinks or says?
I only brought him up cuz u care what man made science laws teach.
And I'm pretty sure he knows tens time more than u on science.
U don't even no wat a belief is grin

Second u speak as if all that crap u said about black holes are proven by science.
It's a theory, just like hawking theory, just like Einstein theory.
If that was proof I wonder why don't all scientists don't considered that proof.

*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? cheesy 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. undecided

What scientist proved this?
I thought atheists only believe In stuff that is proven?
Do u agree with Hawking proofs grin of the big bang?


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 ..

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) ..



No they just belief there's no God..
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..)

No sir leave the existence of God out of this... i am only concerned with the cup..

you know, the biggest problem when discussing with theists is making them realize the difference between the big bang and earth. grin

you see, THEY think that the earth came out of the big bang. cheesy
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.

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?

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.

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.

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:

1st I no science teaches that the earth is young and I no it teaches the universe is much older.
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.


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.

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..



3Rd if the earth never had those things I wonder where those things came from, get it yet?
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..



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.


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 smiley we should simply keep an open mind to what we can learn through study by first agreeing we don't know ..

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?
