I dont care to explain myself here, but God does not exist for many reasons and those who believe
that he does are either ignorant of science or arrogant enough to not accept facts. |

God doesnt exist!! Everything is caused by the big bang theory!!!! We are evolved from sea monkeys
so there are isnt such thing in god maybe budda real but not god and the dalama lama is real and
the hopes real but there is no such thing as a god. I believe there was such a person as jesus!!!!! |

God, in the form created for him by man, is a fallacy. I wouldn't deny a higher power; in fact i'd
be surprised and a little dissapointed if there wasn't but i'm afraid most religious concepts of him
are manufactured by less than honest charlatennes. |

God does not exist. We can agree that things that have no proof of existence does not exist in a
physical matter. We should not hold god to a different standard. There simply isn't any physical
evidence of his existence therefore he does not exist. |

There is no proof for the existance of God.
And you cannot prove a negative.
And given that the burden of proof lies with the person claiming something, we shouldn't have to
prove anything.
Logical reason is:
Person 1: "I have a baseball"
Person 2: "Prove it"
Person 1 pulls out a baseball and thus proves himself.
Person 2: "Awesome, let's go play catch"
Religious reason
Person 1: "I have a baseball"
Person 2: "Prove it"
Person 1: "You can't prove I don't"
Person 2 walks away because that argument is nowhere near substantial.
It's as substantial as eating a seed.
A single seed.
Neither are substanital. |

So much around us is proof that there is no god. If there was a god, why would hitler have killed
all the jews? AND WHY DID MY DOG DIE! |

Theres no proof i mean anyone could've written the bible like some random drunk guy |

When I was a child I believed, because I followed after my parents' example. When I grew up and
began asking questions...I began to realize there are no answers...at least no sufficient answers.
I certainly do not disrespect anybody who does believe; that is their privilege just as it is mine
not to believe.
My biggest problem believing in an all loving, all knowing god whom supposedly created us in his own
image, is that he allows such evil, sickness, wars, etc to go on. That if he is all knowing, then
why did he give us free will because he had to know we'd screw that up. And how did the earth
populate so well from Noah and the humans he had with him on the ark? Things don't add up...The
bible is far to vague and can be interrupted by many angels...clever men, who wrote the bible...and
yes, it was written by men...and a rather successful book...top seller..made god a lot of money...or
made and makes somebody a lot of money. I wonder if god has the copyright on it????
I figured I'd just go ahead and jump in the deep end with one of my first debates...Am looking for a
friend who suggested this site...and I know I will find him here...hopefully he will read this and
make himself known to me...BS you around here somewhere? |

I've never been able to justify a belief in any sort of higher power(s). I'm also not comfortable
admitting that I don't know either way about the existence of a deity, because I don't really see
any logical reason to leave the possibility of belief on the table. I see people on here saying
roughly the equivalent of "How do you know? Have you done a complete search of the universe and not
found a god?". There's also the common "You can't prove a god DOESN'T exist!" argument. These two
arguments can be used against any sort of mythical/hypothetical thing. If I questioned everything in
my life this way, I would be leaving room in my mind for every Bigfoot-esque concept in existence.
Frankly, I am comfortable with just not knowing certain things about the beginnings of our universe
and humankind. To me the existence of a supernatural power(s) is just another theory humans have
come up with regarding the genesis of the world, the universe, and man. A few others include the Big
Bang and evolution. At the moment, I am inclined to believe more in these than the existence of a
god simply because of certain proofs. Notice that I say "believe more" than "believe completely". I
have complete faith in neither, as parts of both theories have been proven wrong by the very
scientists who formulated their creation. They have been changed and tested (and continue to be) by
the international scientific community. Theories don't claim to have all of the answers, but they do
stand up to logic (and when aspects of them don't they are thrown out the window). The concept of a
higher power does the opposite.
Basically, I'd rather admit to not knowing about my origins (as a human and as a resident in our
solar system) than believe in something that isn't logical, which is why god doesn't exist in my
life.
P.S. If anyone has evidence against the theory of evolution I'm plenty open to it. I completely
accept microevolution but I'm still trying to find more proofs for macro so if you have any thoughts
please share. Thanks! |

There is no personal creator God who cares if you are 'sinning' and wants to send you to hell.
That's fantasy. I can't say with absolute certainty that there is not a superior power that may
have created the universe. It's one really easy explanation to explain where all this came from,
and life itself. It's not based on anything more than a hunch though, and it comforts people.
Plus... Where the heck is God if he does exist? So... I'm about 99% sure there is no God. Science
and reason show us how things work in the world, and nothing that has happened required a creator or
God to make it happen. Rather than ask how can the universe seem to come from nothing (common
misconception), ask yourself how a supreme all-knowing force can just exist, where does that come
from? Oh of course... God doesn't need an origin, does he? It's a simple way to fill in gaps in our
knowledge without using our brains so much, to say that God just made it all. The evidence for God
not existing is much greater than the evidence of his existence. |

There is evidence were we came from,but if god created everything were did he come from? |

Although I never really was religious to begin with, in recent years I began to lean towards a sort
of skeptical agnosticism. However, if pressed to choose a side, I would certainly consider myself a
basic atheist. I really don't believe in God in the traditional sense-I don't believe that God is an
old bearded guy sitting on a cloud that can poof a donkey(for example) into existence. I just feel
as if there is less and less reason for me to buy into the snake oil that organized religions try to
sell me. I feel very good about my beliefs(or lack thereof)-they feel right to me. However, I am not
the stereotypical depressed, bitter atheist that you may see in your mind's eye-far from it, in
fact. There are so many other good things to believe in, what should keep me from getting up in the
morning? |

There's the odd thought of "what if?" but nobody's given me any proof. I have just as much evidence
that the universe is actually a toilet.
@Homestar: That's completely incorrect. For example, I could reason that Bob is a robot, because
I've never seen him eat or sleep. Or, I could lop off his arm, noting the flesh, blood, and bone
inside, proving him to be human. Which is more convincing? |
| |
|
| |
|

Yes, i find it really hard to buy into the whole religion bullcrap. If God does exist, than who
created him? |

There is no solid proof that god exists, Therefore until proven he does, He doesn't.
Remember, 'Innocent until 'Proven' Guilt.' |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Well when you get right down to it... No. If he did exist then why doesn't he do something about the
global financial crisis and terrorism? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
If one is thinking logically one has to assume that God doesn't exist until there dependable
evidence that He does. Just as the old axiom goes 'Innocent until proven guilty', one must follow
the rule of 'not existing until proven existing'. |

I agree if god truly existed then we would have more resources and we would have more help |
| |

You are probably thinking of the God of Christianity or other mainstream religion. I don't believe
that god exists. I do however believe in many gods and goddesses but they are NOT benevolent,
omnipresent or omnipotent. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|

God might exist but no one knows. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |

|
God does exist man |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
I have yet to see one good reason that suggests one does. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Give me proof...any proof that'd sustain a scientific test and I will believe in god. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
People only believe in god because they need to justify life. And other things. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
There is no evidence for god. Not one single bit. Take your time, read the entire opposing side of
this thread and you will not find one single thing that could be considered scientific evidence.
Stack that against evolution, or the big bang, or any other modern scientific theory and you
understand why I cannot accept the existence of a god. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
All the religious fanatics in the world cannot show you one piece of tangible proof of their belief.
However evolution has been proven. Not that humans evolved from monkeys but the fact that the
evolutionary process is real. They offer their bible as proof, but humans wrote that. A good piece
of fiction but dry and hard to fallow. Everyone, have a nice day! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
I god existed then he would come down from heaven and kill all the non believers, so were is this so
called justice day, so that means that god does not exist and there is also the big bang theory so
shut up you christian fools and go play halo 3 |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Evolution is so much more believable than the existence of god. Plus i think the bible is sexist and
unfair to womens rights. God is always seen as male, Jesus, male, Jesus' 12 deciples, male, etc. |

He, she, it...whatever. The human is an animal with 95% or more genetic similarity to several other
species of animals also found on this planet. Made in God's image...more like chimps!

Everything in our world is made up if you think about it, who thought of the different languages,
the alphabet, yes each word is derived from different roots but where did it all come from
everything we know is based on definitions that we were taught as a child. This includes religion,
it is a made up story that someone thought up a long time ago before the theory of the big bang or
the theory of evolution to explain why we are all here, they did so because most people in earlier
times were simple minded and could not understand the scientific terms for why we all exist.
Assuming we exist regardless of our lack of understanding, everything in our world is flawed, man 's
ultimate flaw is how naive he is to the environment in which he was placed. To be honest there is no
way to prove that god exists, but someone once told me that life is much easier to live if you have
faith in some thing much bigger than your own existence. God only exists because people believe in
him. Other than that there is no solid proof, i personally don't see the evidence of his existence
anywhere, but there has to be something else out there to explain the strange fate we are all on the
path to meet. I believe that if there is a god he is cruel , that he placed such a flawed creature
in this environment to, watch it react purely for his own entertainment. Man is ignorant, therefor
man is his own downfall. |

I fully agree, there can be no omnipotent God, for omnipotence requires for the ability to
transgress the laws of physics, which cannot be done, for no substance made of either matter or
energy can transgress the bonds of physics, and existence s defined as something of either matter or
energy. If God exists, show me! Concrete evidence, none of the faith argument. |

God is always with us, when people blame god or swear at him, they will get something bad
afterwards. Which is obsolutely NO RESPECT to our God. God is always be with you. |

Science proves it.
Its time for humans to move forward as a civilized group of beings that make rational, well thought
out decisions
based on reason, logic, science, and the self
not some book with all the rules of life written in it
who wants to live like that?
That's not freedom, that's enslavement. |

GOD DOES EXIST!! Maybe your thinking that then why God does not protect us. That reason is not all
Gods are good. Some are EVIL. Also when I ask God for help like getting a good grade, the next

Let me guess... Dawkins said it, you believe it, that settles it?
People like you who claim that God DOESN"T exist just because YOU SAY SO are no different than those
who claim that God DOES existg because THEY SAY SO.
God exists, but not because I say so. I say so because it's the truth. |

It's completely ridiculous to think the evolution took place without someone or something
controlling it. And something must have been the first existence and that's most likely God. That
may not sound logical, but every other assumption about "What was first?" is even less logical. And
there are a lot more proofs. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|

Well...as you know...
If you don't believe in God..
It's simple...
Ur a
SATANIST!!!!!!! |

HOW DO YOU KNOW? Have you done some searching of the heavens and earth and now somehow you know more
then the rest of us, because you seen it all. That is simply impossible... Sorry. |
| |

There is also no proof that he DOESN'T exist! |
| |
|
| |
|

I believe in God, but I also pride my ability to reason. I don't think either conflict at this
point. |
| |

How can you explain everything on earth. It got here somehow. I mean, its your choice to believe in
him. |
| |

Hey... Wait. There is little proof for or against god. And Does it really matter? Hey- yes. I
believe in a god. Doesn't mean I believe in everything associated with a god (such as an afterlife),
but i believe in god. Just as an... Observer |

God exists in the minds of everyone who enters this debate!...;-) |

God is just made up... If he were real he would just go and prove it... |

I seriously believe there is a god. Now for evidence ill go ahead and disprove the whole big bang
theory. At once there was nothing and then out of nowhere a giant explosion created the universe in
random chemical reactions and accidental mutations that led to earth and life on earth us evolving
from some sort of fish frog and a freaking monkey. I just disproved the theory of evolution as well.
The reason God is "absent" is because society has told him to be. Society has said stay out of
politics and schools and so he has. Whether or not you believe in a god you should have enough sense
in the brain he blessed you with to know that there has to be some sort of greater power. |
| |

I do believe that God is there... |

There is the bible which was written a long time ago and that's is proof and no it hast changed.....
And it has been right so far it says that all of israel and babilonia (a.k.a Iraq) will cry out and
everyone will know ..... The thing between israel and Iraq whats that .... PROOF |

God does exist. For the ones who don't believe just look around God is the only one who could make
this world people are dumb for thinking other wise people believe what they read in their history
books but yet they weren't here when it happened God is real and non-believers will learn sooner or
later |

How can you agree with that there is advance all around us every female has one gene that is the
same they found were moses devised the red sea it goes like___-------______in the water how was the
grand canon formed the great flood duh i want some thing that proofs he is not real because it will
back fire on you and i will make it work for me studie him and you will believe you will not be able
to stop your self i am a strong believer and I'm only 13 wow how about those apples and one day i
hope you all believe not my word but his be done (bible i don't know were through) |

Of Course God exists
there are many things that are invisible but u know that they are there for example you own brain
it is inside your skull no one can see it but it really exists or NOT |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|

I believe God exists... Because...
I want something to hope for other than being a machine suggested by evolution.
Prophecies from the Bible are ever so being fulfilled. Like Israel returning as a nation (remember
the Walk in WWII?[and hebrew as the only language to have fully died off and revive)
Because I have had way too many complications with the varied evolutionary theories. (I used to be
an atheist goth, mind you)
And btw a trend of the age is new age or matrixism because its 'cool'.
(I hope i put a few good respectable reasons) |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|

He does exist, can u prove that he doesn't exist? That's a belief in itself there's no proven fact
that he doesn't exist |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Notice its only athletes who care so much about this. I think its because you're not sure about what
you believe and telling other people what they believe in is wrong is somehow reassuring your
beliefs. I've never seen a follower of God yell at atheists for not believing in Him. The only time
they would do that is when an atheist's starts the argument. |
| |
|
| |
|

Yeah god is real how can you say that! I'm mean we have the bible that's proof and every one that
talks about prop 8 talks about god too |

We would not be having this debate if ''God,'' did not exist...;-) God exists in the minds of all
educated people. It is a well known fact, that no one can dispute! |
| |

There are lots of ways of defining god, possibly an infinite number of ways. Some of them may exist.
We've already got words for the ones we know about, so I don't suppose there'd be much point in the
exercise. God is a word, and it exists. It's all over the damned place. |
