By: Dovehotep. on 01 Dec 08, 23:10:21
Your realization is right on the mark, something that I've realized recently as well. Unfortunately it will be met with christian critisim and literalism that defies belief. The amount of actual "sheeple" out there is disheartening and disturbing. One thing I've also noticed, they have an answer for EVERYTHING. My favorite, check out "diabolical mimicry"....that one's great!

By: bencubed. on 01 Dec 08, 20:19:04
Listening to creationists on this site for sometime now, I have observed a constant common denominator of the willingness by theists to engage in deceit to others and to themselves. I can honestly say this realization has been something of a surprise considering the so-called moral 'high-road' theism historically proclaims. The conclusion I am increasingly coming to is that the indoctrination into mythology results in a corruption of ethical committment to truth and honesty. What irony.

By: TheLogicalTheist. on 01 Dec 08, 19:34:45
"The concept of eternity, or at least vast time is what allows the rational mind to accept the progression of an uninhabitable planet into one capable of sustaining life." I agree. I think. :( Infinite regression has to be the state of things. I am a fan of theoretical physics that explores the possibility of a multi-verse. Something after nothing does not compute.

By: pikacht. on 01 Dec 08, 19:31:59
"It truly is a mind virus. The more absurd it becomes to believe a thing, the stronger one's faith." Yes. Wasn't it Daniel Dennett who describes this incredibly well in his great book "Breaking the Spell, Religion as a Natural Phenomenon"? Can't remember now. There are also great talks by him here on youtube. "Think back to the days of your indoctrination. How often did you fear 'losing your way'?" Thankfully I never believed in a religion.

By: yes0genesis. on 01 Dec 08, 19:31:37
Your geographic upbringing pretty much determines what religious belief you will hold. Right there and then you know that these are not the beliefs of the individual, but merely what they were raised to believe, aka brainwashed.

By: bencubed. on 01 Dec 08, 19:30:25
The concept of eternity, or at least vast time is what allows the rational mind to accept the progression of an uninhabitable planet into one capable of sustaining life. This simply makes sense, especially in contrast to the notion of spontaneous creation put forward by religion.

"Nothing is more pernicious than being brainwashed by those you love and trust. That's one way that cults" We must trust our guardians. I remember sitting in the church and watching all the adults talk to the air as though invisible people talked back to them. I thought "this must all be true. Why else would so many adults gather here each week to say it is?"

"Normally people ...
By: TheLogicalTheist. on 01 Dec 08, 19:18:59
"Normally people get indoctrinated with this as young children before they can help it and then it's too late..." Yes. But never underestimate the specific dynamics of faith. The more it is threatened, the stronger it becomes. It truly is a mind virus. The more absurd it becomes to believe a thing, the stronger one's faith. Think back to the days of your indoctrination. How often did you fear "losing your way"?

"Normally people ...
By: izar1234. on 01 Dec 08, 19:13:50
"Normally people get indoctrinated with this as young children...." As I did. Which makes it all the more difficult to discard. Nothing is more pernicious than being brainwashed by those you love and trust. That's one way that cults operate.

By: pikacht. on 01 Dec 08, 19:09:00
"How could anyone willingly surrender their rational minds to such nonsense is the best question of all." Normally people get indoctrinated with this as young children before they can help it and then it's too late. Once you actually believe this kind of stuff it's very hard to get out of the circular reasoning since you actually *do* believe in things like literal heaven and literal hell. Hard to imagine, I know. Almost harder to imagine than eternity. ;)

By: bencubed. on 01 Dec 08, 19:06:17
'Punishment for eternity' Wow. Seems a bit extreme. 'Creationist logic' is an oxymoron. How could anyone willingly surrender their rational minds to such nonsense is the best question of all.

By: izar1234. on 01 Dec 08, 19:04:18
"One more time for good measure" LOL! Thanks for repeating it and thanks to pikacht for expressing it so well. What' ironic is that theists insist that their beliefs are not harmful and they couldn't be more wrong.

By: TheLogicalTheist. on 01 Dec 08, 19:01:21
"Because there are millions out there just like you who completely fold under any kind of pressure in a debate since their religion simply doesn't make sense, yet who refuse to let go of their superstitious beliefs that are obviously wrong and damaging not just to themselves but also to their environment." One more time for good measure. (Why is it that the atheists always come off as highly intelligent?)

By: connorchapman1. on 28 Nov 08, 23:19:46
It would be appropriate for Dawkins and other scientists to address the question as to the actual nature of truth and faith AS SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE . Truth for individuals is what we "believe"- whether deluded or not. It is hardly surprising that religious beliefs survive given leisure activities relate to fictions e.g. reading fiction , watching T.V., soaps, phantasising about our past, future , questioning the purpose, if any, of our existence and phenomena scientists cannot explain.

By: mtheoryrules. on 28 Nov 08, 04:49:28
Unless all your questions are answered then you will not accept science as a legitimate means for advancing human knowledge? I for one am not satisfied by "god did it" this explains nothing and does not offer practical use, only convenience for the philosophically lazy and psychological comfort for those that can not deal with epistemological ambiguity. Science is the study of what religions claim is gods creation, yet it is rejected if it conflicts with prior assumptions of those religions.

You obviously do ...
By: mtheoryrules. on 28 Nov 08, 04:33:18
You obviously do not understand how evolution has improved our understanding and thus proved practical for application in human affairs. Evolution has had huge impact in the medical field in the insight it offers, and its reach has is not limited to this field. Evolution is also critical in agriculture. The study of genetics is born from the insights of this theory. You may not like what evolution implies about scriptural creation, but it is naive to suggest it has not benefited humanity.

"unless evo will ...
By: mtheoryrules. on 28 Nov 08, 04:23:04
"unless evo will make a prediction about a future occurrence or provide some practical and useful applications, it is only a divisive subject, relegated to water cooler chit chat and not the classroom." This indicates your lack of education regarding the subject, evolution has many observed predictions empirically demonstrated. Your all or nothing attitude about science is fallacious. I thought you understood what evolution theory is, we can not debate the subject if you lack this knowledge.

You can speculate ...
By: mtheoryrules. on 28 Nov 08, 04:18:31
You can speculate about philosophical questions, but considering what all the evidence found in nature indicates theology is wrong on several points. If life was created by god, it seems odd that he would plant all the bogus evidence found in the scientific study of nature. I can not say if god exists, but I can say that from what we know of the universe the gods discribed by many theistic philosophies are highly improbable and need to be revised or dismissed.

I did not say that ...
By: mtheoryrules. on 28 Nov 08, 04:10:33
I did not say that science does not provide insight into this question, it does, see abiogenesis. I was saying that the theory of evolution is a theory of how life diversifies not how it began. Scientist have demonstrated in the laboratory that the early conditions that would have been found on earth greatly increase the probability of the natural formation of complex self replicating proteins, evolution does not address how life came to exist science is still struggling to understand.

well that's ...
By: carlindelco. on 28 Nov 08, 03:59:27
well that's cheating. because the burning life long question is and has always been "how did we get here" not "why is my hair blond?" creation explains it, and evo skips it. I think it is absolutely germane to the whole subject, and conveniently left to another branch of "science" unless evo will make a prediction about a future occurrence or provide some practical and useful applications, it is only a divisive subject, relegated to water cooler chit chat and not the classroom.

By: mtheoryrules. on 28 Nov 08, 01:47:59
Evolution is not a theory of how life began. So your point about RNA is a different topic and a different issue of debate. I am not concerned about programing theory, I am talking about empirical observation at sub atomic scales. The universe is probalistic, you do not have to like, or even agree, but it will not change what has been repeatedly observed. I encourage you to actually investigate as I suggested.

By: carlindelco. on 27 Nov 08, 23:58:44
give me an example of this alleged insanity, also the world is not dated in the Bible to be only 6000 yrs old. the 6000 years relates to Israel and other prophecy, God created the world in 6000 yrs..on the 7th he rested..then all hell broke loose literally.. it's more like 10,000 not only 6000. the Bible says Birds were created before other land animals. This was in contradiction to evo BUT now has been proven to be true LOL see "Juravenator starki" so funny the Bible was right on that.

By: pisscunt. on 01 Dec 08, 22:33:49
Atheism, in itself, can't be a fundamentalist doctrine, because there is no holy text that the atheist can hold as absolute truth. On the other hand, Stalinism does have central doctrines that dictate the will of centralized government to the people. They may have killed in the name of atheism, but that isn't atheim's fault. The killing is from Stalinist doctrine. On the other hand, if someone killed on the basis of scripture, like Lev 20:13, the religion would be at fault b/c that's doctrine

By: gusphraba. on 01 Dec 08, 21:20:57
Stalin was married to a catholic woman and had a catholic marriage, doesn't sound like an atheist. Mao was only about himself, he was supposed to be kicked out of his party, he was a slightly insane prankster, all about himself, not an utopia. What you claim in your second paragraph isn't true, he clearly said Hitler's deeds had nothing to do with his religion as he didn't commit them in the name of religion. You made up that he implies it's ok for anyone to be dogmatic. How does he?

By: gusphraba. on 01 Dec 08, 21:16:38
He just picked up random pieces from other critics, he even said so. Why would he suddenly start to talk about the Koran, that's not the topic of the episode. If he had a radical muslim at his show he wouldn't attack atheism. Or shouldn't. His arguments sucked though. It's like smurfs attacking a grown man, not even worth replying. I hope someday people will come up with useful criticism towards atheism, until then I see no point in replying.

Dawkins is incorrect - the Bolsheviks and Maoists were not only atheists, but militant and committed atheists. They were also of a mind not to give religion any "undue respect", in fact were committed to dispose of it entirely, and engaged in some very deliberate and violent policies to that end. What Mr. Dawkins implies is that those with religious faith dare not be dogmatic, but that it is entirely justified for atheists to behave so. Fundamentalists of every faith feel similarly.

By: hsdeogun. on 28 Nov 08, 22:59:02
You are so stupid. The basal body of the flagella is similar to the Type III secretory system, a needle-like structure that microbes like Salmonella and Yersinia pestis use to inject toxins into living eucaryote cells. The needle's base has ten elements in common with the flagellum, but it is missing forty of the proteins that make a flagellum work, so it's not irreducibly complex...and catholic crusaders were...catholic! You very clearly don't know what you're talking about.

By: potter1s. on 26 Nov 08, 23:35:22
He explains why in his book(s). Mainly his reasons are three-fold - 1) he wants people who are 'undecided' to question faith and cast aside the 'deep respect' that religions somehow think they deserve. 2) His is also a reaction to the escalation in religiously inspired terrorism and fundamentalism in America, the Middle East and the Muslim world3) To stop Religious myths being taught as 'Science' in schools.

By: EscapedPsychopath. on 02 Dec 08, 01:54:57
Whenever people tell me I don't have any morals because I do NOT beleive in any god or supernatural force, I laugh. Mostly because, when I look around, I see that I have better morals and ethics than the good ol' religouse folks. It's kind of funny how people think that just because they worship something, they can do whatever and their god apparently forgives them.

Nothing to do with Dawkins, he was angry with God. As I said, Christians will fight tooth and nail to discredit anything or anyone that don't tally with their beliefs. I rest my case.

Dawkins in response to question 2 says that theists do good acts out of fear of God harming them as if this would be the biblical reason for good works. The bible says that good works are a result of new identity in Christ. To say otherwise would mean that a theist is coming from a legalistic/moralist perspective rather than the point of Gods Grace. Clearly Dawkins has not adequately studied christian theology and so if you are atheist watching this video consider doing your own research.

By: iswhatyoubelievetrue. on 02 Dec 08, 07:21:37
So rapists, and murderers should just go free? Isn't there such a thing as justice? Shouldn't someone have to pay for their crimes? Your question assumes I know everything. God is eternal, which is like existing throughout all time, but comprehending it like a moment, like it was all happening at the same time. If God only made people based on the knowledge that they would never sin and reject Him, then He couldn't have made anyone, at least with free will and the ability to choose.

By: Aaberg123. on 02 Dec 08, 00:54:59
"He can't forgive someone, unless justice is somehow satisfied." That's not forgiveness. That's retribution. "You can create any definition of evil that you want, but it doesn't make it so." Actually, I can. To take it in terms that we can relate to: Do you agree that giving birth to a child, knowing that you will send it into darkness and pain for all it's life, is evil. Yes or no?

The only thing that could make God evil is if He overlooked ANY sin on judgment day. He can't forgive someone, unless justice is somehow satisfied.

We all have a conscience, which is the knowledge of right and wrong. We know when we do wrong. Killing itself is not wrong, it is unjust killing (murder) is wrong, because of the intention behind the action (unjust hatred, unjust anger). We are all responsible for our own actions, and since God is good He must give us what we deserve on Judgment Day.

"He knew some of us would go to hell and made us anyway. Yes, that's true. God does all things for His own glory, not for us." If you somehow knew your best friend would be in a car crash later that day, and had the power to stop it; wouldn't you try to intervene? If God is omnipotent and omniscient he COULD help us if he really wanted. But instead of helping his beloved children he'd rather hide in the ambiguous and let the majority of us burn in hell. By my definition, that is evil.

Sir, wipe your chin. The drool is threatening to soil your already rather regrettable shirt.

By: iswhatyoubelievetrue. on 29 Nov 08, 00:31:07
He knew some of us would go to hell and made us anyway. Yes, that's true. God does all things for His own glory, not for us. We choose to sin or not, we deserve what we get if we go to hell. If God is good He can't just forgive people, justice has to be served. What would you think of a judge who just overlooked crime? Should a good judge be angry at something like murder/rape/theft...etc?

Then follow this ...
By: Aaberg123. on 28 Nov 08, 10:04:35
Then follow this logic please: God knows all. He wants everyone to go to heaven. Since he knows all, he knows who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. Despite knowing who of his so dearly beloved children goes to hell, he doesn't make an extra effort to save them. And since he knew our futures even before we were born, it is essentially means he MADE some of us for hell and some for heaven, being omnipotent and all. So you see, all the reasons you listed really doesn't matter.

God is eternal/ ...
By: iswhatyoubelievetrue. on 28 Nov 08, 06:26:53
God is eternal/infinite/everywhere and knows all things, just because He knows, doesn't mean He chooses. In God's perspective, He sees all time as a single moment. We can't put ourselves in His shoes and judge His actions when we are finite and temporal. People will end up in Hell because they broke God's law, so God is a good judge and will give them what they deserve. Lying, stealing, hatred, murder, lusting, adultery, idolatry, pride, are the reason people will go to hell.

"Just because He ...
By: Aaberg123. on 27 Nov 08, 11:39:54
"Just because He knows the future, does not mean He forced us to make that decision." DOES NOT COMPUTE, to say it bluntly. If he knows what we're going to choose long before we do, then in reality we have no say. This also means that he knows who goes to heaven or hell even before we are born. And this in the end means: People are born to suffer in hell, and there's nothing we can do to change it. Logical conclusion: God is the ultimate evil. Not the Devil, God! Yeah...God is good. Or not.

By: consciousmess. on 22 Nov 08, 09:28:02
I had to bring up that point, because before addressing whether god exists or not, we must establish what god is. I purposely use lower case. If I say "I believe in 'unie'", you say "what is unie?" and I say "I dont know", there's nothing to debate about. Tell you what, can you define "God" and I will give you a response following this. I will watch in earnest!!!

By: jeclements. on 22 Nov 08, 08:14:01
Thanks for answering my cheeky question, the answer's irrelevant for this debate (it's only relevant for related debates). I've been thinking a lot about whether there is need for a cause of the universe (the crux of this debate) and what a satisfactory scientific answer would be. As an atheist, supernatural explanations are unsatisfactory to me. Hawking's theory is interesting, especially his flat earth analogy, although it's hard to fully understand.

By: iswhatyoubelievetrue. on 21 Nov 08, 20:56:59
There is free will, in the area of God allowing us to within His will. Just because He knows the future, does not mean He forced us to make that decision. What does this have to do with my questions and reasoning about the existence of God? Creating something else to disagree with isn't something you should be doing. Address the logic and questions about God's existence, please.

...
By: consciousmess. on 21 Nov 08, 10:46:25
Iswhatyoubelievetrue, If you are a theist, you are implying that "God" interferes with the current workings of the universe. This is totally farcical and does not correspond to mankind being given free-will. Note this. If this omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) deity existed, man would not have free will. He wouldn't have free will as the world is always as HE decided, and this 'HE' knows that a man will perish in hell for eternity even before he is conceived!!

By: iswhatyoubelievetrue. on 20 Nov 08, 20:50:34
I'm a theist. Thank you for answering reasonably. You asked the question "what caused God?" by the below reasoning, since their is a need for an uncaused cause, it would necessarily be the cause of the universe, because the traits of the cause would be an infinite eternal intelligence and powerful being. Once you find an infinite cause, there is no need to find a first cause beyond it. The never ending cycle is infinite regression repackaged.

//"There must be an ...
By: Bob244DL. on 20 Nov 08, 15:09:09
//"There must be an initial cause"// Why? Because you say so? Give one example of something we can observe "beginning" to exist that would support your inference of the necessity of a cause. //"one that is necessarily uncaused"// So now you're saying that uncaused existence is possible? Is it or not?

By: jeclements. on 20 Nov 08, 07:24:54
I understand the points you are making, and the questions are good ones. Unfortunately I'm not clever enough to know the answers. There is a theory that the universe does not need a first cause because it is in a neverending cycle of expansion and crunch. This does not seem a satisfactory answer to me, but I don't properly understand it. I do not know the cause of the universe or what it would need to be. But a god is also unsatisfactory - what caused god? BTW, are you deist or theist?

He admits that science will never find the ultimate answers, but insists that all religions are not the answer too.

I am not "hiding" behind the millions of year argument we have strong evidence that the earth is 4.5 billion years old and life began around 3.5 billion years ago. As for "the Hovind theory" it is an actually attempt at science that ignore the vast majority of the evidence and as I said in the prior post seen it...what part did you find most convincing?

By: shewey. on 25 Nov 08, 22:48:05
Let me ask you a question... Do you believe in God? It's a reasonable question. One thing I personally can't stand is the whole hiding away of things in millions of years. Honestly, it's a bit like attributing basic natural phenomena to God - there's no testing it. It may be true though. "The Hovind theory" is actually science. He doesn't do as many personal jabs and there's a whole heck of a lot more science. He truly has a good theory. And since I watched your video it's now your turn...
