Evidence for God from Science

If we can't trust or senses and our ability to reason it means that any statement is void, including the one that says you can't trust your senses or reasoning obviously. BUT we also know that there is more to the universe than what can be perceived solely by our senses. We can't see/hear/taste and...

Interesting discussion. I mostly agree with neo-x First about Hoffman. The TED speech was interesting but I didn't understand what he meant by that fitness was defeating truth. Therefore I read The Interface Theory of Perception at http://www.cogsci.uci.edu/~ddhoff/interface.pdf. What he means, as f...

Nils: I don't feel that he loves (or hates) or cares about me and that feeling would not change if the only thing I got to know were that he exists. Why did you ask? Nils, as just an experiment, have you ever tried to contact God or sincerely asked Him to reveal Himself to you? And if you did, did ...

Really, as I see matters, people willfully ignore the evidence. Have buried their heads in the sand. Are blinded. Hence as Newton reported in his now famous Amazing Grace song, " was blind, but now I see " -- something many, many Christians report experiencing -- being previously blind an...

Nils: I know that there are lots of theological theories about God being an eternal simple entity and you cannot ask why he exists. But that argument doesn't impress the atheist and that is important to understand when you discuss with atheists." I can add that to me there is no difference in ...

... So the dirty little truth is that even atheists believe and are forced to accept things that cannot be proven or seen,and yes it is faith,so cringe atheists because you possess faith far more than a Christian does because it does not require much faith to believe God can do miracles and create ...

I always find it interesting when people think they know Aquina's arguments (much less refute them) so easily. Unless you understand metaphysics, you can't even begin to comment on them. I have read even philosophy professors screw up on Aquinas and it isn't because he is hard to get, it is because...

Thanks for the answer Kurieuo. Just some short comments. You can I'm sure go through many of my posts, many here know I've debated often on this board. I think I delved into some here with JustAtheist previously . As for myself, right now, I am actually tired in life of such discussions and certainl...

I'm not sure how it can work with us being the "Fred" unless you wish to put forward some positive arguments for Atheism. Re: evidence, the fact Nils didn't even know of Aquinas' arguments which are generally presented at some point an an introductory Philosophy of Religion course... and ...

Aquina doesn't mention "creation" but he mentions the first mover etc and the first movement occurred at the beginning of the universe, right? No, that's what I tried to tell you in my last post. It is a very common misconception of the first way, as Paul said, even the most learned philo...
