ShamGam3 George is a real professional, he read AND analyzed Richard's book, he provided opinions, he made a joke even, but first he went for the second one without even acknowledging that he was ignored on the first. I'd be pissed about that last thing.
Nope. If you are sane; understand that doing bad things is wrong and feels bad. You do not need religion to guide you, people have morals despite religion.
Brandon R "If religion didn't exist, murder might be morally Okay." To YOU, maybe. Not for everyone else. Anyone who needs a book to tell them not to murder is a terrible human being by default.
I tried to have a discussion with my step mother about how religion is a lie, and it always was. I mentioned how the Bible is filled with scientific ignorance, and she wasn't having it. "I know there is a God and a heaven because I KNOW IT!!" and with that, I changed the subject. No point wasting your time with that level of ignorance
You're the loser and your Mom is the winner. Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing." Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God. God is the reason for us and all we have. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JiMqzN_YSXU.html “However improbable the origin of life might be, we know it happened on Earth because we are here.” -Richard Dawkins.

Wait, scientific ignorance? How so? The Bible has amazing historical accuracy supported by archaeology. The Bible also has amazing scientific accuracy such as the Earth being round in Isaiah 40:22 and the Earth being in space without support in Job 26:7 and the stars being countless in Genesis 15:5 and the laws of thermodynamics in Isaiah 51:6.
@@treygonzalez5252 Isaiah 40:22 talks about a circle, not a sphere. Flat earth theories have circular worlds. They also don't include anything supporting the earth, so Job 26:7 isn't that impressive as well. Wow, it's so impressive that people looked to the night sky and found it nearly impossible to count every star. Additionally, Genesis 15:5 states that there are too many stars to count, not that there are an infinite number of them. Wow, it's so impressive that people saw things decay and die and thought that the Earth itself may die. Isaiah 51:6 mentions no laws of thermodynamics - it just describes an observation that people made of the world.
For starters, getting exposed to alternate philosophies, non strawman beliefs of other religions such as Buddhism for example and alternate and secular morality. And to study and comprehend science and the scientific method unbiasedly.
Knock knock. Who's there? Jesus. Jesus who? Jesus Christ let me in. Why should I let you in? I want to save you. Save me from what? Save you from what I will do if you don't let me in.
more from dying and not being able to live on in the next one , and anyway, why wouldn't you let him in ? you mean spirited tosser, what are you a Troy? .
He's a genius. People on here obviously find it very hard to be told that whatever they believed all of they lives isn't true, thus having their intelligence tested/insulted. God does not exist, stop wasting your lives. When a priest kisses a wafer, do you really believe that this wafer turns to the body of christ? No, you don't. Admit it and read The God Delusion. He's essentially helping people to stop wasting their lives. Good Guy!
Look I may not a genius here, but my faith is still on out of all odds especially after reading this book (actually wikipedia). Here's why: Quantum mechanics and the big bang theory, true everything requires scientific proof or physical or reasonable evidence, but here is the extreme counter argument that puts it where it can be the proof for both sides of the argument. "Nonething is something, something is nonething." If the universe can come from nonething what is it going to stop from a spiritual or every thing entity from existing or not or both from nonething? That's what I have not seen in this book which I believe it needs to be dressed.
God is real, and so is his son the Christ just not in the way people were taught to believe. There is a heaven and a hell and life eternity, but not in the way people perceive. This knowledge is not given to just anyone, so says the bible, and these people with their honors and higher learning think that they know everything. They know nothing. Nothing. The bible was full of these smart, emotionally intelligent people, and none had seen God, for he is too uncomplicated and simple, they are looking up at the sky and at the infinite expanse, so dark and unfathomable, it is impossible to see. I do not blame them at all. You need a key, and that key is given by God, so until then, those who believe there is a God, seek him, seek to know the truth and he shall reveal Himself to you and you shall be enlightened.
I believe in God , I try to put others first , give money to the homeless and forgive people , or do my best , as well as hoping for life eternal , how am I wasting my life? explain, what is in your life , that you think is not a waste? yes writing a book full of bollocks, separating you from God and leading you away from life eternal , while making a lot of money and giving, to the best of what I know, nothing to charity, yes good guy !.wake up his full of sh*t and is greedy and selfish.
@@memento4940 duh dude the answers are not supposed to be going that simple, but again I'm not making assumptions. I'm just saying due to mountain of evidence in quantum physics in it can literally accept every probability no matter how low the odds are it still can happen. Virtual particles get created out of no where the more empty space time is the more stuff gets put into the void dispite the odds. You failed to find a counter argument, unless your not proven your point well enough. The way I see the world evidence is very subjective. Here's how I look at the bible for example: the old definition of evidence has to been observing back then, so when jesus came in history if he really is not real why hadn't bible just get thrown away and forgotten through out history? The only way it could of stand is by many observers who were once live saw jesus doing maricales. As conquence it became a story of facts. True the bible today has many contradictions only because it was translated or the language was not well evolved in the days. Doesn't mean it has to be flase because of assumptions it was only way to document what people discovered there was no way to preserve the proof except the book pasted down thoundsands of years. Over time we changed our definition of evidence to either math or testable ability to be used. Science is best describe by using knowledge into the real world technology, any knowledge that is beyond that cant be used into technology is not useful. The only thing today has not changed is observation is believing which leads to me to conclude that something in those events in the bible had to be true, but who knows because again its very subjective.
I was a Christian for ten years and I had more faith in God when I knew nothing of Christianity it wasn't on till I went to Christian Churches and Bible Studies and Cell Groups and worked for Christian organisations that I saw so many Christians act in such a hurtful disrespectful and just plain nasty and vindictive way towards people that it made me just plain sick to my very stomach. Its ironic to think that Christianity itself turned me into an atheist. In all the country's around the world that I have spent time in and all the religions I have seen it never ceases to amaze me how religion seems to turn us all into egomaniacs. Thank God im an atheist... Lol
Chris Coppola My cell leader accused me of having designs on her husband - yes I was very hurt and wondered what the hell is this? God spoke to me in a dream. Do nut judge God as people behave especially in Christian circles it is the front line of spiritual warfare.
Nat K Brother,i agree with you other people call themselves christians but they dont really understand what christianity is. Some religious organization thought they were christians but their teachings are from man not from Jesus Christ. That organizations made other people to turn away from God and the worst, to hate God. Like the roman catholic they thought they were christians but their god is not the God of the bible
Nat K I think it's a real shame that people feel the need to ram whatever belief system they have down other people's throats . just so they can have their own ego stroked.
Benita Almond well of course your going to questions belief system if they are going ram it down people's throats . or use it to manipulate others. There is no god that I'm sure of. There couldn't be if there was a god there is no way he would allow his followers to behave the way some do. Do you honestly think that Allah exist and he allows Muslims to behave the way they do? Of course not l. Extremists can get away with there monstrous behaviour cause there is no supernatural entity called god exists. I have spent too long around Christian church to have any belief it's all nonsense.
He's 71. Most people his age are retired so whether or not he has anything "new" to say doesn't matter but when he was more actively performing research, he came up with some very interesting and currently well respected theories and now has a strong following due to his work and outspokenness. He's had a pretty impressive career.
He’s right about all of this, and I respect & agree with his brilliance. I will say though, there’s well known reasons why people still follow religions: they fear death, they miss loved ones, and they want to have purpose. I can’t fault people for wanting answers to why we’re here on planet Earth, and I understand if they’re scared of the end of their existence
100% agree religion was founded on just the fear of death. They can't deal with the idea there is no real significance of our existence. We just smart animals.
"they want to have a purpose"??? I keep asking theists - what does one DO in Heaven? And they keep running away Describe a day to me - ONE DAY! And they run away The problem is obvious - what work would the allmighty have for us puny humans? So we have billions of people just sitting about, idle, a useless pointless existence for eternity And this is the Grand Plan of God?
@@stainlessstove4629 nah, religion was founded as a means for the clever to control the gullible and simple minded. fear of a vindictive disciplinarian that sees your every move and reads your every thought 24/7 keeps the feeble minded docile. and being "the one who talks to god" was EXTREMELY advantageous in a time when life was cheaper than a filipino prostitute...it was always about control through fear (wasnt as philosophical and existential as you make it out to be)
Accurately true for those who believe, God does = a meaningful existence and hope,for an after life,of even greater significance but "belief" is not actually "knowing" we have been given,no true way of truly knowing.
I never believed in god. My family was religious, and we went to church every Sunday, but I end up arguing with pastor. Every Sunday, so he politely asked my parents to talk with me. I said that god is fake, and I won't believe in lie. So they allowed me to not go to the church anymore. As I get older I understand how right I actually was. I am an atheist and my best friend was a christian. We were friends and everything was okay until she said to me, that there is no point of our friendship if one of us don't follow the other. I said, that it is impossible, because I won't and she won't as well. I said that it doesn't has to be like that, we can be friends. But she disagreed and now I lost the best friend I ever had. But now I see...
There are people who can acknowledge that they do not know all there is to know about everything who can see there are depths to our existence and others who want to believe that they know all there is to know about everything. And there are others who want the world to believe that they do not know, but pretend to to know because they can use their pretence to carve out an easy way to make a living out of it…. Both are part of nature, the genuine and the imposters…….every action must have an equal and opposite reaction……it’s life.?
@@somerandomperson3970 Being unconvinced of any god is a form of religion? Sounds a bit like Humpty Dumpty - when I use a word it means what I choose it to mean ...
Elina, your friend is brainwashed by Abrahamic cults and it’s the cult that’s at fault…she lost a good friend due to conditioning. Islam, Christianity, Judaism they r all the same …v intolerant and primitive . Stay free at heart
@@lenroddis5933 a religion is a pursuit followed with great devotion- that's the literal definition; it just so happens that belief in God is what people tend to be devoted the most to. Suspension of belief, as they've noted, is referred to as agnosticism.
Because you live in this modern age. It would be different when you live in the past and you are surrounded by the act of nature that you do not understand.
ArtherMatheuwStarling You know nothing of the real world my friend I'm sorry. All religions were created as tools of segregation by the rulers of the original empires. The rothschilds, Rockefellers, so on and so forth. Religion was used to bend people to knees are make them turn a blind eye. We've been being lied to since the birth of kings, wake up.
The book is a real treat for readers - whether you believe or don't believe in what Richard Dawkins talks in the book. It is for sure a thought provoking literature. As he says, the problem with religion is one must simply accept whatever is thrown on you without questioning, but science says question everything before you accept it. The problem is not God, but the way God is interpreted by we humans and limited him to petty thing called religion.
Wow, I was really impressed with this interviewer. I was expecting a lot less from him, but he actually asked well thought out questions and allowed Dawkins to talk as much as he wanted. Very well done.
Anyone willing to put the time and energy into learning what scientific thought is and the consequences of making up explanations without reality to support them can understand what Richard Dawkins is talking about AND can read the works of other scientists in support of his conclusions. Implying Dawkins is the only person who understands the evidence for reality and in opposition to fantasy thinking sounds like an attempt to defend the indefensible. If you're aware of irrefutable evidence for a deity, please present it.
@@krisaaron5771 Think logically, if evidence known it would make our living impossible? We would be forever looking over our (collective) shoulders looking with suspicion on everything and the actions of everyone else?
When they cannot refute and are embarrassed by what you are saying, they resort to tampering and deleting to cover their rotten tracks, but retribution is on the way,,.?
As a religious person (who is capable of having respectful conversations with non-Christians), I have a genuine question for Atheists and if it seems as though I'm attacking anyone, that's not my intent (I'm also not trying to change anyone's mind; it's a genuine question). Do you hope you're right? Do you hope that all life comes down to is hedonistic pleasure? That's there is no afterlife? No higher purpose? That we're just accidental byproducts of nature? That sounds very nihilistic and lonely.
So basically God is sending his son to divide people based on belief? So what we do in life, who we are as people does not matter? So Atheist & Hindu doctors who gave their life fighting covid19 trying to save total strangers will get hell And pedophiles & mass murderers of the cloth will get heaven? God is like Putin, Saddam - rewarding those who support him and abusing the rest? Amazing how free people living in democracies blindly follow communist, Dictator Gods
Richard Dawkins has never understood that metaphysical reality trancends the physical; meta = beyond: Physics = the physical. There is no way to quantify something that is not physical, so he, along with many scientists, believes that these non quantifiable things do not exist. This is called the masked man fallacy in logic; this equates to assuming the identity of the masked man, in this case being God. Since we do not God in a tangible manner, we can not make assertions about it, and therefore, it cannot be subject to scientific methodologies. Another example is this. In math, the Pythagorean Theorem applies to triangles with right angles. But if a triangle is missing a side (as a figurative example), the formula doesn't apply. Epistemically, we can only verify things that are known to us, so God would fall outside of the ontological realm. Also, I'd like to remind Dawkins that all science grew out of empiricism. Our logical framework evolved as a result of observation and other empirical experiences. So, to say that there is no evidence to verify God's existence is true, physically speaking, but the sane could have been argued thousands of years ago. The first people on earth were fully aware of a force that we now call gravity due to their experiences with nature itself. This is how logic was invented, which is how science emerged. Francis Bacon was the father of this. Science is also not completely objective, as our social norms dictate what we place value on a society. This is why, by and large, the east is more spiritual in it's essence. There is more of an equilibrium between Science and spirituality. Science philosophy can coexist, but they need to be used in the right context. Thank you James walker
Yeah, we need more losers like Dawkins spreading lies. Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing." Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy.

The fact that there is a conscience in every human being, which causes a person to regret committing any form of evil, is another strong proof of the existence of God. Otherwise, such a repulsion of evil would not have existed in his heart. Instead, he would have freely done whatever he wills. Therefore, this knowledge of good and evil has actually been placed in the hearts of men by God in order to direct their attention towards Himself.[9]
it would be interesting to see how Mr. Dawkins would explain the many testimonies of how ones lives were changed for the better after meeting the creator

@Kitalia the kitsune I agree with your comment. I was just saying that humans have wasted a lot of their time building churches, building new religions, war, politics, for maybe 50,000 y and more. And so, they never discovered early the atom, chemicals, drugs, heart operation techniques, and so on. It is only in the last 300 y that a few small group of europeans dedicated some serious time to science and math. Then it took off like a rocket ship, once the fuse was lit.
the Hebrew god that had his people kill the first born and take the women children as wife and commit the most hideous crimes of humanity. Not worried about it.
@@randyg.7940 They love us so much that they were willing to write thing we shouldnt do or we would go to a scary place and make us suffer for eternity. Seems like a lot of love to me.
By asking who created God, Dawkins is referring to a created god. Now if he had named the title of his book " The created god's delusion", he would not have sold many books or become so wealthy, as nobody believes in created gods, not even Christians. So the only thing he is debunking is the idea of created gods, which we agree with, but he could have written a far shorter book. Christians don't believe in created gods/idols either - We believe in God. The uncaused/uncreated eternal living God.
By asking who created god. He is asking who created god. So god created everything but god doesn't need creation? So if god doesn't need creation why can't the universe too just be there. The universe could have just appeared out of nowhere. Poor argument you have there. You can't apply certain rules to universe and then a seperate one to god. If you do so. Give valid reasoning. If you argument is. God is almighty and the same rules don't apply. That is bull. In scientific eyes that is absolute bull. As Dawkin says blind faith.
***** No you don't. You become an atheist or as it should be put as skeptical about god until further evidence. When you admit that god may or may not exists and as of now is non existent due to lack of evidence. We can change our minds if you give us god damn proof. Hehe. I used god damn. So no it's not just a change of words. We don't say my cold is because god is testing me. We say my cold is because of some virus that god created to fuck with my immune system and hopefully kill me for no fucking reason other than for his amusement. In other words it's just a damn virus....no god nothing...
kaister901 We can look at it in a different way. God cannot be created. He is not a created God, by definition. He is eternal: Timeless. He exists external to our observable reality. Space is created. It was thus created by an external agent, it is not eternal: time frame of 13.8 Bn years. It exists within our reality. Space( as we have come to know the black expance ) is not nothing, it is an object of nature, with it's own natural characteristics. Something like space whicht is not eternal and has an age cannot create itself within the realm of itself. It finds it's beginning beyond itself. Thus anything we can observe on earth within the grasp of our reality, is created by something other than itself. an external agent if you will. You may choose to not call that external agitator/agent God. You might call it something else. But by any degree of contemplation, you have to finally arrive at the thought that something outside this universe is responsible for the existence of everything within it. The universe is not the creator of itself. What ever you think created God will have to fall behind in the same que as space and it will have to explain it's own existence outside of itself.
Marachenka [D]o we need a God to set it all up so a Big Bang can bang? … Our everyday experience makes us convinced that everything that happens must be caused by something that occurred earlier in time. So it’s natural for us to assume that something-perhaps God-must have caused the universe to come into existence. But when we’re talking about the universe as a whole, that isn’t necessarily so. … The role played by time at the beginning of the universe is, I believe, the final key to removing the need for a Grand Designer, and revealing how the universe created itself. … Time itself must come to a stop [at the singularity]. You can’t get to a time before the big bang, because there was no time before the big bang. We have finally found something that does not have a cause because there was no time for a cause to exist in. For me this means there is no possibility of a creator because there is no time for a creator to have existed. Since time itself began at the moment of the Big Bang, it was an event that could not have been caused or created by anyone or anything. … So when people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the Big Bang, so there is no time for God to make the universe in. It’s like asking for directions to the edge of the Earth. The Earth is a sphere. It does not have an edge, so looking for it is a futile exercise. - Stephen Hawking You can look it up that argument is by far the weakest and most over used argument that has been dismissed countless times. Yet people like you and others keep running to it. The we don't know what happened before the big bang is the almighty god of the gaps argument that is totally not accepted.
kaister901 thanks for the reply - for once it's a civil response amidst all the anger and name calling out there from the others If time did not exist prior to BB, it begs another question: What 'banged"? Something ( a particle perhaps) had to have exploded/expanded in order for there to have been a 'bang'. If that particle existed prior to it going bang, then it must have existed within a particular dimension. Nothing cannot create a bang - we all know this. So, if the particle existed within a certain dimension or space prior to it expanding rapidly, then by definition we can attribute certain time frame characteristics to said particle, meaning that if there was no time and no dimension: the particle could not have existed and would have no cause to create BB. Thus by virtue of the above, we have to say that there was some form of dimension other than what we currently perceive as space before the BB. The question in a purely naturalistic scientific arena is this: Put the BB on the side and ask yourself in what dimension did the BB occur if not in space-time, and how did that dimension come into existence prior to space-time? There is no eternal existence in our observable universe. Everything we have seen and ever will see in our lives had a beginning and end. Even the universe itself. I suppose where you and I part ways is that as a Christian I conclude the following: Since everything we see and observe has a beginning and end. Since everything we see finds its existence external to itself and since the dimension that gave origin to the whatever was responsible for the BB had to have had an existence in some way or form, I concede that only an all powerful, eternal, omnipotent and all knowing agent could have caused theses dimensions. There is nothing prior to this agent and nothing after it. I have come to know this agent/dimension/force as a personal God - Jesus Christ. We may well differ on this, but I implore you to not look at the world out there and conclude that it's all empty, and that science will fill the void. Science as an existentialist philosophy will drop you stone cold dead if it has to. Do not let hypocritical Christians be the benchmark by which you measure the plausibility that an all powerful creator stands behind the backdrop of our existence. By no means should this be a deterrent or incentive, but if you are wrong about this, are you prepared to suffer the eternal consequences? I don't want to give a sermon here, but please do yourself a favour and have one last good look at the 4 main gospels - get to learn the character of Jesus Christ first before anything else - it is the single most important thing to understand. You cannot possibly understand the Bible without knowing Christ first. John 14:6 - I am the way, the truth and the life, nobody comes to the Father except through me. The good news is that the all powerful force that created everything has written our names on the palm of his hand. He calls us by name and he knows every single hair on our bodies, because he placed it there. He loves us dearly and wants us to commit to him. 1 Tim 2:4 - ...God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. I do not want to risk spending eternity in condemnation, when I can set aside my self-pride & the things that I have learnt from man and submit to God and be in pursuit of Jesus Christ's character. Thanks for reading. hope to hear back.
I just had an argument with an Orthodox Jew. She gave me nothing to argue. Her reason for believing?= "The Torah says it is true so therefor it is true. Scientist have to do their job and I have to do mine which is believing in God." Her being an Orthodox Jew is not what pisses me off, it was the shear idiotic reasoning for believing that would make anyone with a 5th grade education, Theist AND Atheist pissed off.
No one can say for sure if a god exists or not . what we can say is there is no good reason no evidence of a god. Just as there is no evidence of werewolves or Pixies there is no reason to believe in them
Check out my newest video diving into the concept of God! I find many people think this way and are looking for the words to fit! Hopefully it helps and you find it interesting! Much love to you all and good luck on your journey!
Had People like Richard Dawkins been not entered to the church, I would be nothing, I mean I wouldn't reach here and make a comment. However, God saw what is really to be going and what is being done by people Like Richard Dawkins, then selected me. Did I have any special qualifiction? No. God has just chosen me, from the crowd.For what purposes? Unable to list it now. Thanks.
The Jew said that she is not interested in logic and intelligence. She said she does not care about using arguments and logic when it comes to religion. She asked me what is the opposite of logic and intelligence is. But me being a nice person, did not call her those words. But by definition, someone with this mentality is idiotic, illogical, irrational, unreasonable and just a sad excuse for a human being...
Makes no sense. The stars, the sky, the moon, human anatomy, etc and there is no God? Everything fell into place itself. Good ol ' science has done it all. Wow makes perfect sense. Lol
No just lack of information. If you claim to have some special knowledge that no one else on the planet has, please feel free to share that with the physics community
Maybe because he wants people to look to the future, instead of becoming stuck 2000+ years in the past.. You can't see where you're going if you are always looking behind you.. If you take your eyes off the path you're taking, sooner or later you stumble and fall..
I have seen a few people in my lifetime like this Richard guy,they will mislead so many but on their dying bed they'll cry to Jesus and get saved.But meanwhile majority of their misled flock are lost forever.Jesus died for everybody but not everybody will receive his free gift,if you happen to be alive the day we have a direct/indirect one world leader,you might want to run as hard as possible to Jesus because He is the only way out of things to come on this earth...God bless.
In the pass, I would,ve believed that Mr.Dawkins himself was delusion,and absurd to even think this way However now, I'm on the same team as Mr Dawkins. God "maybe" just a coping mechanism strategy we essentially are birthed we procreate/struggle/suffer only to end up,at the dead end,of life known as death all this,with no plausable explanations or facts of to (who) (what) or (why) our very existence,came to be.
So what you're saying when you want to do something people might deem as wrong, the threat of eternal damnation keeps you on the straight and narrow, that's reassuring I love hearing people say that only a horrendous consequence to a wrong act keeps them honest. I find personally that knowing what I do impacts others in my life is a better reason to do good, and when I do make mistakes, as I do from time to time, I make amends with the PERSON I wronged.
Just MAYBE god isn't meant to e proven, isn't that POSSIBLE, atheists? also, maybe it's not meant to be proven scientifically that there is life after death, and if there ISN'T - then THAT sure hasn't been proven has it? Also, isn't is possible* it could still be proven someday?
And maybe the moon is made of cheese, maybe it isn't meant to be proven scientifically and we should all worship the great cheese center. Just because something is "possible" does not make it "probable". The point of religion is to specifically place itself outside of being disprovable in order to entrench itself as being immutable and thus to keep those who believe to continue to believe.... it is the reason why the most treasured aspect of those who are religious is "faith"... to believe WITHOUT evidence. Let me ask you this, if it were any other topic OTHER than religion, people would think it a scam, set up perfectly to fool people. So why do we think differently when it is religion? Because it has been around for a while? So was the belief the earth was flat, its age does not indicate its truth. When we were children we believed in the fairy tales our parents told us... but then we grew up and we started thinking for ourselves. Humanity is a child and its time we grew up.
I'm not a supporter of religion just a deist. My statement is much more plausible than your moon one, plus humans have actually been on the moon. I agree with you when it comes to religion.
Brandon R "Near death experiences are evidence for an afterlife." No, near death experiences are evidence that people will see whatever they want to see when in a situation where their faculties are compromised. Don't you find it strange that ALL near death experiences are in line with the beliefs of the people who have them? The brain subconsciously tells itself it is dying, so it conjures EXACTLY what it wants to see. If you think that's evidence... you misunderstand the definition of the word
I humbly dare every man to prove me wrong by calling on God through His living Son Jesus and giving their lives earnestly over to Him without prejudice.
What an ignorant man. To trust in science and only what the eye can see is certainly an illusion. I rather have faith and put my trust in God than listen to Richards empty, shallow words!
It is impossible for anyone to prove that there is a GOD, only HE can do it, if I asked you can you prove to me that EVIL or GOOD exists? are you really sure you can prove to me that they exist? you can't, are they real YES, but you can't prove it to me, please don't tell me about evil acts and good deeds, NO, I want you to show me evil itself, but you can't because it is impossible to prove a spiritual thing in the physical. No one can deny the existence of GOOD and EVIL, and if they exist then they have to have a source, what are or who are their sources? Now think -- you have to understand that there are only two kingdoms in the universe and everything we do and everything that moves has to do with this two kingdoms, THERE IS NO THIRD KINGDOM. What are these two kingdoms? THE KINGDOM OF GOOD AND THE KINGDOM OF EVIL. Have you ever wonder that everything you do has to do with these two kingdoms you cannot escape it, every movie you watch is about good and evil, about love and hate, every book you read is about good and evil, every decision you make has to do with good or bad, from birth to death you are going to make decisions base on these two kingdoms and whether you like it or not you either belong to one or the other, there is no in between. My question to you is, do you think the source of GOOD and EVIL is GOD AND SATAN? or are they just myths? HAVE A BLESS DAY!
