Evidence for God from Science

So what is the uncertainty principal? "You can say there is an uncertainty principal to something like selling used cars or you have a job and you don't know what's going to happen next. Its essentially nothing trying to rationalize a metaphysically significant statement forcefully prove on so...

Objective morality exists because God exists. Obviously, if you don't believe the latter this wont work for you, but I don't think you can reason the answer to this question wthout God.

I can attest to this, I found this forum and resources linked by it very useful.

I know this is a hot debate, but I would like your short inputs on this and possibly in a concise manner explain why you believe morality is objective or relative. Morality is objective because I believe God, and what he has revealed to us. However, I do not believe that without God I can reason to...

A more apt comparison would be that of organ donation (a woman donating her uterus for the fetus). Do we force everybody to give up their organs after they die for the good of the community? Do we force people to give blood for the good of the community? No, we respect peoples bodily autonomy and r...

TLDR; How can we know if we aren't just deluding ourselves with Christianity into making ourselves more comfortable and ignore the harsh reality that there is nothing after death and there is no higher spiritual being? In addition to this, how do we know all of these "evidences" that supp...

I don't think simply being a "great man" is an option. Are you by chance familiar with the lord/liar/lunatic trilemma or any of its expansions?

Dom, I'm carrying this over from the other thread Anyhow, no, these types of things are not descriptions (objective), but they are instead merely perspectives (subjective). The best pizza, hamburger, ice cream, etc are simply not propositional knowledge. They have absolutely no pull or purpose in ac...

most learned people anywhere would tell you how absurd the idea is.

I have a few thoughts on this, but I'll wait to mention them. What do you guys think of the argument from authority? Inherently flawed and should never be used? If it should be used, in what context and how far? What do you think of the way its used today, in the internet or professionally or just ...

off topic, but good to see you active again Jac. I confess I've been rather busy at work, it's good to be able to examine the ideas of people who have done research in these areas, when my own is limited.

Infinite progress? Cannot I say that matter, energy, physical laws were, are and will be? Issue of causality? I am interested. infinite regress, not progress. Infinite regress implies that there is an infinity in the past, which is absurd as infinite by definition is never reached. Getting to a poi...

in a way that's inevitable. Should you focus more on souls safely in the boat or the ones drowning all around us?

Ya, it would probably feel more freeing to do what ever you want Interesting, I feel the exact opposite. Knowing that the good I felt compelled to do wasn't meaningless is one of the most freeing aspects of my life. Being able to step forward with confirmation of things I've always known is better ...

I think there are very good replies here. To add my 2 cents... Denying God to save ourselves, I don't see the point. Things are just temporary here anyway, so you're just delaying the inevitable. Why bother dealing with the guilt you would probably have thereafter thinking about the issue? On the o...
