As far as the establishment, of the proof of God existence is CONCERNED, theists are not SCIENTISTS, the closest any theists has moved, is being a mere Pseudoscientist (a fraudulent and quackery version of scientist).

When you have succeeded in proving the existence of your God, according to the scientific research methodology and design, then your covetous craze for the title of scientist, will be awarded to you.

Until then, learn to be decent mentally.


Smh.

Get to meet real scientists and stop your pseudo-educated babble.

Science is education. Everybody is educated.

Until you understand that your mental limitations will keep dragging you into gullibile assumptions about theists who have contributed to the science you so much revere, you will continue to post like you've just done.

Another person saying exactly the same thing ! Apparently you guys are doing a poor job disproving The Supreme Being's existence . Calling you atheists is a misnomer , you guys are just religious skeptics . And guess who are also good at religious skepticism ? The Deists

Rejecting religious gods and concepts does not impugn the existence of the Supreme Being . But of course ,since atheism is actually the rejection of gods worshiped by the larger society , you keep rehashing the same old rebutted arguments to stay relevant .
Whatever

Facts prove atheists are indeed angry at God . undecided

On January 1, 2011, CNN reported:

People unaffiliated with organized religion, atheists and agnostics also report anger toward God either in the past, or anger focused on a hypothetical image - that is, what they imagined God might be like - said lead study author Julie Exline, Case Western Reserve University psychologist.In studies on college students, atheists and agnostics reported more anger at God during their lifetimes than believers.

http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/01/anger-at-god-common-even-among-atheists/


Lies! I myself is not angry at any God.
But bros wait! What is God? And how does Yahweh fit to be called God?

The deeper you go the more you ascribe these wonders to God.

You are one of those black Africans who think that all people of the western world are atheists because they are educated and have unraveled what you think are the mysteries of God.

You're wrong.


Science and religion can never be compared. So all you atheists can stop trying to use science explain away religion, when religion metaphysical. One is physical and one your science can't even explain.

Science is simply a standard of education. It is attainable to all men. It is not equivalent to disproving God.

If you want to do that, use metaphysical evidence. You are trying to measure Angstroms with a specimen in a Petri dish. Use the right apparatus.

I'm done with the ones who say they're rational.

Naijadeyhia, kingebukasblog and all of the nice Christian posters, please, don't mention me on these religious threads with atheists.

They aren't the most logical people you will find. Neither are they intelligent. Their rationality is limited to the things they can attack because they are scared of the others.

Imagine a situation where atheists say witches don't exist, but they are told how to meet them and they refuse to because they actually believe in them and are scared of them(I don't have time, more arguing without addressing all questions to them or quietly ignoring posts). These are the same people who subscribe to collecting data and behaving as if everything must be tested and proven, when they are scared to test and prove things except swallowing the scientific research of others. Lol. A funny bunch.

Until the atheists here take on investigation they remain the epitome of frustrated Christians with a scientific educational background.

I used to take their main man as an intellectual, until he proved himself to be merely armed with a data subscription.


You're simply disgusted, because you're disappointed that all your craps, have been dumped where they rightly belong - illusion waste basket.

Let me address your points one by one

1.The deeper you go into science the more you find that religions have the most ridiculous concepts of god. The best belief of god one can have when going into science is the belief in a deistic non interfering god, thats the only belief that makes sense. The anthropomorphic personal god that most religions believe in is a joke and source of scorn in scientific circles.

2. I dont think all the people in the western world are atheists in fact the USA has a religious population percentage of 80%, but in the western world, the deeper you go into science the less likely the retention of your religious beliefs. Please help yourself and google religious belief amongst western scientists and see the discrepancy and diversion from mainstream percentages. The western world didnt unravel any mystery of god instead they unraveled natural phenomena that were usually ascribed to the interference of a deity and they have done it on a much larger scale than we have thats why they are less superstitious and more atheistic than us. But they are in no way totally free from the scourge of religion even though they are just a few decades away from total religious anninhilation.

3. You said science is physical and religion is metaphysical but you fail to understand one thing which is the fact that the metaphysical science paved way for the physical sciences. The physical sciences have replaced almost all branches of metaphysics. Philosophy led to logic and logic to mathematics etc. The only remaining discipline in metaphysics is philosophy, all the rest have been replaced by the physical observable sciences. Who uses metaphysics to cure diseases when you have modern medicine and biology, who uses metaphysics to predict famine and prosperity when you have modern day macroeconomics and microeconomics, who uses metaphysics to aid movement when you have newtonian physics/mechanics. Please tell me who depends on metaphysics. Its only religious people that cant see that metaphysics has evolved into a more advanced and productive specie which is modern science.

4. Science is a discipline that involves bringing hypothesis, testing with experiments, discarding the failed hypothesis and promoting the successful ones to scientific theories which have been proven to be very useful in making the world a better place with technology that we could only dream of a century ago. Everything is attainable to all men when they invest their time. Science wasnt created to disprove god but it accidentally stumbled upon facts that debunked ancient religious beliefs. Thats why many inventors of the middle ages were catholic priests, that was at the infancy of science when it had not yet debunked every claim in the holy books, unfortunately for religion, science has grown so much that it has debunked most religious claims using its sub fields like archaeology, chemistry, history, astronomy, physics etc and thats why you find a higher percentage of atheistic sciences now than in the middle ages.
Science can disprove god, you know why? Religions stupidly presented their facts in logical, theoretical, verifiable human language. If religions had stayed in the realm of meditation it would have been better for it, but due to their political power in ancient times they ventured into the real world. Now that science has grown, most of its outlandish claims like :
A. Geocentric earth
B. Demon theory of disease
C. End time predictions
E. Divine cause of weather
F. Divine supernatural power of believers

Have all been debunked by observable science thereby proving religion to be a lie.

Science is like that cctv you install in your house to monitor your infant child but little did you know that the cctv will discover the thief that has been taking your money and jewelry. Science wasnt created to disprove religion and god but unfortunately for religion and fortunately for the world, science has debunked, disproved and rendered it so powerless in the western world.


5. You talk about atheists being stupid, lets compare stupidity. We present arguments that make you jet off in anger and you claim we are stupid. But you religious person, apart from using weak arguments that arent even arguments but appeals to emotion and blind faith you also display your stupidity in church. Now lets analyze things that you will most likely do in one months time that are definitely stupid

- You will most likely be in church blabbing in gibberish syllables and calling it a heavenly language.
- You will give 10% of your income with the hope that it will defend you from unnecessary financial burden and also with the hope that it will give you your desired prosperity. The funny thing is that if you were to settle down and observe you will find out that none of those claims have come true, you most likely experience financial difficulty on some bad months whether you tithe or not, your financial growth definitely will not show any spike in improvement because you tithe but because you grow in knowledge and experience of your chosen profession.

- Religious people have been documented doing stupid things like; eating grass in a church service(kenya), being fooled by staged miracles, sowing their tuition fees as seeds for prosperity, committing mass suicide at the behest of their spiritual leader, receiving lashes of cane in public, being involved in suicide bombing.

My brother we atheists might be dumb as you claim but we dey learn work where una dey, religion is outright stupidity. Religion is also supported by the most unreliable emotional quality we possess which is blind trust.

6. As you talked about witches, its not only witches that exist, we also have bush babys, madam skoi skoi, big foot, leprechauns, elfs etc. We believe you, are you satisfied?

You religious people, do you ever stop to listen yourselves. If logic was a thread you guys would have wrapped yourselves up to the point that you would look like a mummy.

Let me address your weak points.

1. Science is education, everybody is educated.

I studied biology in secondary school and got an A1 in waec.

Will you entrust your injured brother to me just because I learnt the basics of biology.

Is education not in cadres. So in your mind there is no difference between a biology student and a cardiologist, no difference between a 100 level physics student and a career astrophysicist working for NASA, am also sure in your mind there is no difference between your friend that is a graduate of economics and a deputy governor in Nigeria's CBN, is there a difference between my sister that has a Bsc in accounting and a former registrar of ICAN, am sure there is no difference between a charge and bail lawyer and a SAN. My friend stop disgracing yourself, everyone might have some level of education but all levels of education are not the same.

Coming to religion, your basic knowledge of science that doesn't debunk the bible is nothing compared to that of an astrophysicist who is certain that the universe can't be 6000 years old, your basic knowledge of history is nothing compared to that of a career historian who can document the similarities between all world religions, your basic knowledge of geography is nothing compared to that an established geologist who knows the earth can't be 6000 years old and who also knows the earth is definitely spherical not flat like your bible says.

2. Theists contributed quite alright, they still contribute today but the world is moving away from long held dogmas and beliefs in religion. This shift is strongest amongst those that observe the world [ scientists] that's why there are more atheistic scientists. But you can't grasp that simple fact.

3. Your religious ideas are so weak that they are divided into 30000 denominations and over 100 world religions. No religious belief is strong enough to be seen as the only true one. Religious beliefs are so weak that they thrive on regions and childhood brainwashing to propagate themselves. That's why most religious people inherit the religions of their parents. Atheistic beliefs are much stronger and are grounded in real observable science, history and philosophy.

4. As usual, the christard runs when he sees superior arguments. Run and watch from the sidelines cause you don't belong here. Go back to your blind faith and trust which gives you the eternal conviction that your belief is true. But know that the day you step out to examine your beliefs in the light of reason and truth, you will have no other option but to do what you just did which is run like a chicken.

Believe it or not, there's a significant correlation between atheism and prosperity of a country. When a country eventually comes to the realization that God isn't going to build their continent, they'll 'wake up' and take action. I hope religion magically somehow disappears from Africa, Islam specifically; Angola already banned it (Islam), I wished other African countries would follow pursuit.

"........... there's a significant correlation between atheism and prosperity of a country".


You're always in a hurry, to spill your religious idiocy carelessly.

The more a people or nation "lack believe in God idea (atheism)", in the running or administration of their lives, the more prosperous they become.

Even Saudi Arabia, make huge FE via the tourism event, called haji. Their investment in the West is not guided by Koran, but pure business sense.

Check out almost all the wealthy individuals, who claimed to be religious, they don't run their business on religious ideas and concepts (they are atheistic in their operations).

Their identification with religion, is more or less a means of enlarging their clients base - business sense (didn't your Jesus say: the children of this world are wiser than you his followers?)

Your responses make no sense

If there is a correlation between atheism and prosperity then Cuba , China and North Korea should have been the most prosperous in the world and atheists should own a colossal amount of wealth in the world .

But facts prove that his assertions are false . Christian-dominant countries according researches are the richest in the world , Christians own 55 percent of the global wealth , and the most millionaires and billionaires in world are Christians .

Meanwhile atheist countries example North Korea has about half of the country's population of 24 million lives in "extreme poverty," according to the KUNI report . That is out of 24 million North Koreans half of them - 12 million - live in abject poverty .

And in Cuba , in just urban areas, there's an estimated 15% living in extreme poverty.

It is just recently that China started experiencing prosperity as its poverty rate fell from 88 percent to 6.5 percent since Christians surged in the country . But its a cum hoc fallacy to claim that's China's increase in prosperity was expedited or caused by the proliferation of Christians even though it is apparent .

Please learn to be incisive like me , its embarrassing that your periphrastic posts make no modicum of sense in any way or form .

Simple typing error, it's the other way around. Prosperity leads to a more atheistic society. Norway, Sweden come to mind. If you don't believe me than that's fine I am not here to debate. Also Cuba is in its condition not because of of a lack of religion, but because of failures in the past. Such as Fidel Castro expelling all American businesses and switching to communism, which was a fatal move in itself. North Korea, for obvious reasons is not successful. Also what utter bullshit erroneously and randomly correlating China's success with Christianity, please refrain from making idiotic statements in the future. China switched to a more capitalist structure and began experiencing significant growth. I am not anti-religion I am just a pragmatic realist. Continue praying to 'sky daddy' he'll definitely help Africa catch up with the rest of the world.

If want to really take a look at atheism benefiting society, the Soviet Union is a perfect example. More emphasis was put into scientific advancement, churches were dispelled, and unsurprisingly look what happened. They sent a man to the moon, the creation of nuclear weapons, Women's Right policies were advocated heavily.

It's unfortunate that your religious alignment, can't help you reason better.

China, Cuba and NK are not "atheistic" nations, in the TRUE definition of atheism. There's no government in the world that is atheistic. What exists are "secular government" in different variant.

The fact that you are inept in understanding the system of governance in the three reference nations, shows how pathetic, your crass illiteracy is.

You're also so stupid, that you don't know that China is been recognized technically as number one best economy in the world. And for you to ascribe that to incursion of Christianity, shows your depth of descent into delusion of religion.

This is the stupidest rebuttal that I am disturbed myself replying back. Here I go, the countries that have the highest GDP historically have been majority of Christians, so it's not to surprising that the the millionaires there are Christians. United Kingdom, France, USA provide the most opportunities for people to become millionaires. Those have all been historically Christian countries. It's not Christianity that made them millionaires. idiot.

Please and pleases , Norway is not an atheistic society neither is Sweden . Norway is a Christian-dominant nation , the state church has now made a provision to leave the church yet over 4 million Norwegians opted to remain members . Most of the ones who left did so because they don't want to be taxed.

Take a look at France after its dechristainization during the French revolution , the number of atheists sky-rocketed , and France have been prosperous for years but currently only one-third of its population are atheists - a massive decline of atheism . There are numerous french Christians but they are not involved in organized religion , same with the Muslims and other religion's adherents . That's why France is considered as one the least religious countries . They are seen as irreligious or least religious because the citizens are not involved in organized religion not that they do not believe in God . Same thing with Sweden and other countries like Netherlands and New Zealand where the irreligious are dominant .

Prosperity leads to a more atheistic society - logical fallacy post hoc ergo propter hoc : this states that since event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X.therefore it is fallacious to claim that prosperity leads to a more atheistic society .The fallacy lies in coming to a conclusion that societies become more atheistic due to prosperity based solely on the order of events, rather than taking into account other factors that might rule out the connection.

Soviet Union was against homosexuality and Stalin ordered that homosexuals should be imprisoned for five years with hard labour . They also abused human rights and marginalized religious people . There were close to 30 million deaths caused by the communist government of the Soviet Union due to its intolerance of religious beliefs and practices .

Russia who were largely part of the Soviet Union are now a Christian-dominant nation and they still build nuclear weapons , woman right policies are still heavily advocated and they are now involved in space exploration more than ever .

You are not making sense .

This is the stupidest rebuttal that I am disturbed myself replying back. Here I go, the countries that have the highest GDP historically have been majority of Christians, so it's not to surprising that the the millionaires there are Christians. United Kingdom, France, USA provide the most opportunities for people to become millionaires. Those have all been historically Christian countries. It's not Christianity that made them millionaires. idiot.

Strawman

I never said that their Christianity made them millionaires , it rebuts your earlier claim that there is a correlation between atheism and prosperity because they are prosperous and are Christians .

Please and pleases . Norway is not an atheistic society neither is Sweden . Norway is a Christian-dominant nation , the state church has now made a provision to leave the church yet over 4 million Norwegians opted to remain members . The ones who left did so because they don't want to be taxed.

Let me explain , take at France after its dechristainization during the French revolution , the number of atheists sky-rocketed , and France have been prosperous for years but currently only one-third of its population are atheists . There are numerous french Christians but they are not involved in organized religion , same with the Muslims and other religion's adherents . That's why France is considered as one the least religious countries . They are seen as irreligious or least religious because the citizens are not involved in organized religion not that they do not believe in God . Same thing with Sweden and other countries like Netherlands and New Zealand where the irreligious are dominant .



Prosperity leads to atheism - logical fallacy post hoc ergo propter hoc : this states that since event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X.therefore it is fallacious to claim that prosperity leads to atheism .The fallacy lies in coming to a conclusion that prosperity leads to atheism based solely on the order of events, rather than taking into account other factors that might rule out the connection.

I underestimated your stupidity, completely my fault buddy.
Let's get started shall we, Norway is not a christian dominated country, please tell me where it you found that information. The numbers of atheists outnumber the theists and it's increasingly getting higher.


Dechristinaziation in France led to a higher number of atheists, I need statistics, my boy, you've already proven to me you cannot be trusted with facts.

I agree, Soviet Unions were harshly and strictly against homosexuality, how is that pertinent to the their advancement scientifically? Stalin was an evil dictator, yes we know. The purge happened and he practically eradicated everybody in his way, this was more so to him being a sociopathic war-monger. Russia slipped into degeneracy after the Soviet Union collapsed.

It's unfortunate that your religious alignment, can't help you reason better.

China, Cuba and NK are not "atheistic" nations, in the TRUE definition of atheism. There's no government in the world that is atheistic. What exists are "secular government" in different variant.

You are grossly ignorant , very pathetic . Countries that practice state atheism are referred to as atheist nations

Let's try again (:
Christians are millionaires because they live in areas where it's more likely to become a millionaire. It wasn't Christianity that made them millionaires, if you need a more simplistic explanation , I'll be happy to give you one.

There you go, read carefully, my boy.

Secondly, you gave me a link, but no where did a provide the French becoming atheists. Yes they stopped funding churches but how many of the population switched from Christianity.

Oh savant of history and current affairs yet you don't know that

It is a fallacious claim that prosperity leads to atheism
Norway is a Christian-dominant country
Dechristianization in France led to the proliferation of atheists
irreligion =! atheism
Citizens in countries that are irreligious-dominant are just not involved in organized religion not that they are atheists
Soviet Union was a union of republics
Attacking the opponents character in argument is a logically fallacy and it does not make your argument tenable
