Re: Is there any physical proof god exists?

We know that the electron exists and it's ineffable, but we should still try to understand it anyway. We don't know that God exists, so I don't think it's necessary for us to understand His ways. I guess that's where we disagree because I hold no credibility to the Bible.

[…] then natural selection would prefer human soceities […] faith in God. […]
We examine the electron not for our survival but for our own personal gain of understanding the universe.

Oh you CRETIN! I knew you’d come back with something as asinine as that. I regret not posting your answer for you before I favored you with a little wisdom.

Can you not get it through your thick skull that there are parallels here? This is the first step – I am trying to tell you that there are things that the human mind cannot grasp and that the general human never will.

You quite happily believe R Feynman when he says the electron cannot be understood and then you say “Yes but there is no God because I can’t understand him!” You then conjure up a God that you can understand and say you don’t believe that either.

Well LBDD, you and I are at one with not being able to understand your crap god. My God, the God of Landover, cannot be comprehended – much like His creation, the electron.

As far as natural selection is concerned, your mere existence has proved that the theory is rubbish; your DNA would have been feeding some pond life 6000 years ago if there were truth in evilution.

Second bit – we know that there are things that the human mind cannot comprehend; there are some things (e.g. 11 dimensions) that it never will. Quantum Electro-Dynamics is hard to understand. The only way to do it is through deep study coupled with exceptional intelligence. God is impossible to understand, the only way to attempt to do it is with the Bible. You read of electrons and “feel” you are getting to grips with them… you read a little further and you’ve lost it – but the equations still work! Praise!

OK, read the Bible, begin to “feel” you understand God – then suddenly, you’ve lost it – but still His Word and Commands hold true! Praise.

LBDD – I am saddened but not surprised that your logic runs only one way – it runs the way you think you should believe not what is there to be believed. Whilst we here at Landover do our best to allow you a greater width of thought and more things to consider – you sit there like a 4 year-old stamping your feet in a hissy fit and screaming, “La-de-Da I’m not listening.”

There are none as blind as them that will not see.

I'm sorry of my retorts are so predictable, but let me give you more reason why I choose not to believe in God.

The electron is at agreement with mostly everyone in the world. If someone says, "Hey, do you know that electron thing?" one would respond as, "Yeah, it's that negatively charged particle that goes around the nucleus of an atom." People all over the world, if taught what an electron is, agree what it is and that it exists. We don't see countries fighting over who has a better theory of the electron.

However, we do see that with religion. Why am I supposed to embrace the God of King James Bible and not the God of another Bible. Or a different God. In fact, there are more than millions of different types of religions that have ever existed. Why choose your unique one?

The "electron" won't get you Saved®, pal, only the sweet Blood of Jesus can do that...

Re: Is there any physical proof god exists?

The electron is at agreement with mostly everyone in the world.

Almost everyone agrees that the Earth isn't flat, too, but we True Christians know that it is, in fact, flat. We're not saying electrons don't exist, just that there is better evidence for the existence of God than there is for the electron.

We don't see countries fighting over who has a better theory of the electron.

Try reading some papers on string theory. You'd be surprised by how bitter the fight in physics is over exactly that question.

You have answered your own rhetorical question: allow me, with the assistance of Brothers Ahimaaz and SanzSolo, to alter your post slightly:

God is at agreement with mostly everyone in the world. If someone says, "Hey, do you know God?" one would respond as, "Yeah He’s the Creator of the Universe" People all over the world, if taught what God is, agree what He is and that He exists. We see scientists fighting over who has a better theory of the electron.

However, we do see that with science. Why am I supposed to embrace the planetary model of the electron and not the cloud theory. Or a different theory. In fact, there are more than 20 different types of theories that have ever existed and there will be a whole lot more (my addition). Why choose your unique one?

I have used and altered your statement, “God is at agreement with mostly everyone in the world” because, by and large all people do agree there is a God and that God is the Creator – it’s the details (like in the theory of the electron) that differ.

Let’s not forget that to be a top man in science, you have to have your own theory of something (it’s no use just blindly following someone else’s theory) and you have to convince everyone you are right and this involves destroying their theory.

Additionally, from where does most money come to fund science – The Military!

Are you in agreement so far?

Why choose your unique religion? Many different religions that have existed and in my eyes they all have equal readings on my bullshitmeter.

God is like a hightech security camera watching you where ever you go. If one believes in God then he or she is most likely to contribute to his or her soceity more because he or she wants to be "good" and not suffer the consequences of a deity. Natural selection created the idea of God.

Child indoctrination is what keeps religion alive in the 21st century. Would you dare to raise a child without the influence of religion until they were 18?

[Brother Temperance]

Re: Is there any physical proof god exists?

First, let's imagine a hypothetical situation where mankind is alone in the Universe, where either God doesn't exist or He doesn't interfere with man. If this is true, then natural selection would prefer human soceities that would conjeure up a supernatural lawgiver, God. So there is necessity for having faith in God.

Um, what? Where does that come from? You're essentially saying that people who are wrong and believe in a bunch of made-up cr*p that doesn't exist will be better off. And if you accept that faith in God is necessary for a healthy society, why are you trying to destroy it? Do you want the terrorists to win?

In fact, there are more than millions of different types of religions that have ever existed.

How many millions?

Those physicists are ruthless...

Yes, and do you know why there are wars over religion, but not over string theory? Because NO-ONE cares about string theory, except for those who've already been indoctrinated into the physicist cult.

Child indoctrination is what keeps religion alive in the 21st century. Would you dare to raise a child without the influence of religion until they were 18?

Of course not! What if God killed them at the age of 17? I wouldn't want to be responsible for sending them to Hell.

Are you a result of this natural selection?

Child indoctrination is what keeps religion alive in the 21st century.

So you suggest that the present is never a time for God? But history is comprised of the sum of all present moments, therefore there was never a time for God, and yet, you suggest, God was created at some time that then was "the present moment". Your argument does not hold water.

Atheist parents are constantly amazed when their children turn to a belief system - look around, all this New Age clap-trap is there as well as Christianity.

Re: Is there any physical proof god exists?

I don't choose a theory of the electron and then embrace it. I choose a theory to help better understand the universe. If the theory holds, then hallelujah.

Yes.

I suggest that the 21st century should be the century of reason, and civilizations should not believe anything unless it is backed up by facts.

You can do better than that answer

Yes.

Then your theory of natural selection indicates that it is better to believe in a God than not.

Why the 21st? What, in the history of the world, makes this century special - in the 9th, 13th, & 17th centuries, they believed that they were at the cutting edge of technology, just until the next big thing came along.

Your reasoning for your lack of belief is faulty. The standards of your required proof vary between God and science. Your trust in electrons is touching, your trust in God is lamentable but the nature of the trust is the same. You need to sit down and think why you believe what you believe.

Only in a soceity that isn't governed by science and reason. And by the way, ours is.

The 20th and 21st century is different from the other centuries because our centuries are the products of the enlightenment and the scientific revolution.

Define governed. To me, our society appears to be governed by George W. Bush. Is he what you'd call a reasonable scientist?

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Re: Is there any physical proof god exists?

People always know that they live in a time of wisdom and reason. In the Old Testament The Lord's wisdom gave them the gift of a Land of Milk and Honey with perfectly designed laws, which were understandable and reasonable.

The 20th and 21st century is different from the other centuries because our centuries are the products of the enlightenment and the scientific revolution.

No. I tried to convey in my post that in 1000 years people will look back and laugh at our society and scientific achievements, whilst they will still have the same belief in a constant God.

There is no proof for God, but there is for the electron.

There is some records of the effect of a thing that we call an electron. But, as per Feynman, the concept is nebulous and, in the face of the anti-matter electron, it requires that someone produce a new mathematics - so an absence of proof all round really - just a theory.

Here are you, quite happy with this, yet when it comes to The Lord God, you claim that He does not exist - yet the proof is all about you and is as strong as any theory.
