Why stop here? You can do better: spread the suffering around, so that more people could “enjoy” the experience.
As Stephen Wright said: “Three out of ten people suffer from hemorrhoids. Does that mean that the other seven enjoys it???”.Why stop here? You can do better: spread the suffering around, so that more people could “enjoy” the experience.
Not even for a greater benefit? Ok. But, then you can stop alleviating the suffering, by not helping them.
You did not cause the suffering, so that is perfectly ok. Down with the nasty doctors, who wish to interfere the beauty and purifying “aspect” of suffering! Let’s all “enjoy” our collective hemorrhoids!Shredderbeam, how do unintelligent agents act towards an end? Also why is this end always the same or similar when produced?
Because space-time is expanding.
What end?
I know that, that does not answer the question.
I would guess not.
That’s a very general question. Can you give a specific example?
I don’t see any evidence for the existence of a God, or any logical reason why one must exist. Therefore, I do not postulate the existence of a God when I consider the universe, as it would be superfluous.
yet another irrational attempt to avoid logic and rational examination of the issue, allow me to deconstruct this ignorance 1 item at a time
so what? Scripture isnt a science text, its about the purpose of the the universe and mans relationship with G-d, not the mechanics of nature. should i be surprised that there is not a manual for my ford pick up somehwere between Mathew and Mark?
why would He need to create the earth? or bodies? He could have created us as pure spirit, directly with Him. oh wait… He did that with the angels. He already Had legions of angels. maybe He wanted something different? something that could love Him by free choice?
70 sextillion suns shows there is a G-d, only 1 sun could be chance.
thats shoddy reasoning.what? who would take that literally? conveying countlessness cant be done without reference to something very numerous to anyone but a mathematician capable of grasping the infinite set. how would even well educated men of the time qualify for that king of mathematics?
more irrational claptrap. where did the stars come from?
yes, i agree no scientists would ever do something dangerous, or homocidal, because they are intelligent, atom bombs, nerve gasses, biological weapons aside. G-d must be a scientist, he used rational means of operation for thhe universe! or maybe G-d is rational…?
again conveinently forgetting the weapons mentioned above, produced by educated, rational, mature human beings.
This does not tell me that the universe wouldn’t be this way if God didn’t exist. You made a giant leap from identifying that there is a natural order with rules and principles to making those principles or rules a universal principle of reality. Everybody agrees that there is a natural order, but why do you think that the universes entire existence is explainable by naturalist principles? Why do you think that natural events are the cause of existence in its entirety?
If there was no God, there would be no stars in the first place. For if there isn’t an unmoved mover, then matter couldn’t exist.
That has to be the most obtuse argument against the existence of God I’ve ever seen.
“All that the Holy books tell us about the stars, a child could have told you.” And?
If you expect a Holy book to tell you something about astrophysics, you are so far away from understanding God there is likely no hope in even discussing the matter with you. It is amazing how the video narrator expresses his insights into truths such as, “the earth and the sun are all that we are told about”, and still doesn’t comprehend the purpose of that focus within the Biblical stories as expressions of a relationship, rather than as God’s chance to prove his scientific brilliance to mankind.
And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” That has nothing to do with being unsophisticated and lacking in brillance. It has to do with focus.
Ok, if you say sooooooooooooo…
Your sarcastic non-reply is telling me that you’re entirely uninterested in the truth, but rather seek to appear to be enlightened. Would you care to prove me wrong?Ok, if you say sooooooooooooo…
Ok…
Your right it’s not, but not even a little insight from the creator of the universe?? The knowledge equals that of desert tribes… go figure eh?
Angels? Show me one of these angels?
70 sextillion suns shows there is a G-d, only 1 sun could be chance.

Hydrogen fusion?
Maybe, but then it not the xian god then is it?

lol ok… Atheists… that don’t believe in sky daddy, are the irrational ones.after watching this video, i realize that he came to no rational conclusions at all, but no great surprise there. that was luaghable, the fellow that posted that video would get torn up if he came here with such hypocritical balderdash. he understands neither the Scriptures, science, or how to make a rational argument. if this is atheism at its best. lay down your arms now, and we will try not to laugh so hard..
No, Atheists that don’t accept the real definition and deal with the Reality of it are the “irrational ones”.Atheists… that don’t believe in sky daddy, are the irrational ones.
Because God gives us just enough evidence to believe, but also just enough evidence to doubt. Without room for doubt there is no such thing as Faith, and life becomes pointless. I wish more people would understand this.
