WSJ article:Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God

[joeychizzle]

we just differ on what proof is. i consider my existence tangible proof of a Creator, but I wouldnt consider my existence proof of an afterlife though, thats a whole other matter. human beings have an instinctive to desire to believe in something "higher". You, yourself probably "want" there to be a God, you just dont see any evidence. I'm fascinated with the psychology of it all

I wanted there to be a god when I was still a child, a christian. But then I grew up and realized there is only science, reason and logic. Do I want there to be a God? No. There will be positives but there will be people who will twist this god's words and do fukked up shyt with it.
I'm saying this because I know there isn't one. But if there REALLY was.. I would acknowledge him. TBH if a god was really that powerful he doesn't want people bowing at his knees. That's just supreme ego bordering on hubris, and I wouldn't respect a god that's like, "FEAR ME!! RESPECT ME!!" You're kind of a shallow, vain god then.
But back to reality - there is no god.

There's nothing 'wrong' with being selfish and 'faith' has nothing to do with the question. Why do you care about anyone else?​

There is a lot that is wrong with being selfish. I care about other people because I don't want my fellow living humans and animals to suffer, physically or mentally. What kind of an a$$hole would someone be if they didn't give a fukk about other people?
You sound like the kind of person that would walk by a dying person and not even offer to help.

If you don't want them to suffer, kill them.​

Didn't ask you.​

I think people in general dont feel like their life is a supreme gift, which I get. There are 3 billion on Earth so we dont feel special. If you were one of a kind you'd feel differently. You could easily not exist at all.

What's wrong with being selfish? I won't even bother describing that. Find out for yourself
When I say suffer, I don't mean a situation where they are like, dying in bed or crippled heavily or braindead. It could just be a fever, or going through a breakup, or a skint knee. Damn bruh wtf is wrong with you man? cold blooded mofukka

Seven billion plus actually. I consider my life a gift. I think about all the factors that led to my birth, and how lucky I am that I'm not fukked up physically or mentally. I just see it as sheer luck and coincidence instead of divine work.
fukk it breh... if you really sleep better at night thinking god is watching over you, so be it. long as it makes you a good person, unlike @Dafunkdoc_Unlimited

You get what you want by being selfish. Don't see the problem.​

When I say suffer, I don't mean a situation where they are like, dying in bed or crippled heavily or braindead. It could just be a fever, or going through a breakup, or a skint knee.

A fever, going through a breakup, and a skinned knee are trivial matters. If they can't deal with them, they're better off dead.

Doesn't matter if one is 'good' or 'bad'. Both die.​

You don't speak for all of mankind. Neither do I. But personally, I believe that there is no God. 24/7.. 365.

[NoMayo15]

And be serious breh, we really gonna argue about how to demonstrate a scientist is a scientist?

No, I was asking how do you demonstrate that MOST serious proponents ARE scientists.

bullshyt. no laboratory has ever generated organic from inorganic

failed experiment

failed experiment

In what way?

 

[LogicFirst]

In what way?

There was just a chemical reaction. There was no "Frankenstein" moment.

....? What, were you expecting them to take inorganic matter and create a person from it? Moving the goal posts once again.

The experiments demonstrated that inorganic material, under the right circumstances, can form the building blocks of life. That's exactly what we're talking about with abiogenesis. The difference is we haven't had the billions of years that it took for the original event.
