pretzelman: My point..exactly. When one closes their mind to reason and thought...they become a rock..sand..a nothing! I believe in a Christian God...but will not say that my belief is right. It is right FOR ME. Don't try and force your belief that it is the ONLY way. Allah..is a choice...not a fact! Thought it may be a fact in some minds...it is not a fact.


By the way ur point is not Good.....definatly ur blieve is not right

Which is more ignorant, assuming a person is guilty until proven innocent, or assuming that the accused is innocent until proven guilty?

"Guilty until proven innocent" is the same faulty logic as "god exists until disproven". Innocent until proven guilty is the same solid logic as "god" doesn't exist until proven. It's also the same logical process used in mathematics, science and technology. That computer you're reading this on would not exist if "true until proven false" were the basis of science.

If the religious had the honesty to admit that they can't prove their "god" exists, exactly how would that prevent them from believing in it? It wouldn't, and an honest person would admit that. The religious, however, and especially the rabidly religious, want a different burden of proof for their religion because they know they can't prove it. To admit that a "god" can't be proven in any testable and verifiable way would preclude any attempt to impose religion upon the law and society in general. Religion would become a strictly private matter, as it should be.

The agnostic view that "maybe it's true, and maybe it isn't" is fine when you're talking philosophy, semantics and sophistry, but in the real world, all propositions are either false or true. They cannot be both.

The null hypothesis of "false until proven true" doesn't make assertions without evidence, nor does it deny that something can't be true. All it does is place the burden of proof on those making the claim, that the onus is upon the claimant to produce the evidence. Only those who know their claim is empty and false would have a problem with that.

M, he's right in a way...believing in God is a choice. And this is why I say it's ignorant to try to tell others that your beliefs are the only right ones. We don't know that...we can only believe it, no matter which side one is on.

You choose to see God in everything around you, as do I. You choose to see that God as Allah, and to believe what your books teach you is correct and true. That doesn't mean it's correct and true...just that it's correct and true for you. My beliefs in God are different than yours...and are correct and true for me, but wouldn't be for you. That doesn't make either of us right or wrong overall. Nor is Crotty's lack of belief wrong...it's right for him.

Neither of you will convince each other, or anyone else, that your beliefs, or lack of beliefs, are correct as absolute truth. To try to do so is what I believe is ignorant.

Love you both. Peace out. peace bouquet

Agreed.


And this is why I don't tell anyone that their belief or lack thereof is wrong. I know what I believe, and the truth will be known after I die, not while I'm alive. I'm content to have my faith w/o needing proof, nor needing to prove it to others, and accept those who don't believe as having the same right. I even understand why they don't believe, since empirical evidence is lacking.

Its more ignorant to believe there is no possibility of god cause science is still trying to prove it every day.And believing in god is just like believin in santaclaus or rudolph the rednose reindeer by the way,that can still be innocent and faith is a personal conviction.

I could just as easily say there is no God because I dreamed that he came to me and told me he didn't exist! Is that any stranger than believing he really does exist? confused

druidess6308: Crotty, I didn't expect you to believe in the research, for it goes against everything you believe, or your lack of beliefs, but the evidence is showing that we have a soul. I think in time, there will be more.

Now I don’t believe it because it is fundamentally flawed , scold

No problem,entire science is giving the evidence of God
Go to the Medical science,how they make the medicines?what are the ingredents of medicines,Ans: The herbs and chemicals
Who grow the herbs?science is silent
go to the engineering

What are the ingredents in cement? Stone and wack
Who creat the stone and wack?science is silent

Go to the Telecommunication

What are the sources for the travel of signals?Ans:Oxigin
Who creat the oxigin?science is silent

So like that there are thousnads of evidence for the thinker
but unfortunatly their brain are blocked

But you already stated your science comes from the Q'ran, not scientific texts. Sorry, but that is why it's not absolute truth, but belief/faith...nor is it scientific in origin, but religious.
