If there were a god, this board wouldn't exist

>>36552471

Nothing. The laws of physics simply exist because of the limitations of physics within this universe. If these limitations didn't exist then some other set of limitations would.
>>
>>36552546
Are you dumb mate?
>>
>>36552373

We really have no idea where the universe came from, why the laws of physics are the way they are. Our models break down at plank's time in the big bang. As such they're unkowns.

God just always happens to lurk in the unknowns.

Now how should we treat unknowns? We should investigate them as much as we can and try to figure them out, rather than throwing up our hands and say "God did it". To past peoples, the origin of lightning, or species would have seemed just as impossible to understand as the origin of the universe.

if god doesn't need something else to exist
then the universe also doesn't need and it's eternal

>Not being an agnostic
There's not enough evidence on either side of the debate. As plausible as it is for some divine creator to have granted us this universe to do so as we please it's equally plausible that everything is simply a universe scale chemical reaction happening over the course of trillions upon trillions of years. Once either side is proven I will willingly convert but until that point I find it rather pointless

Why do you think something 'made' the laws of physics? What is your evidence that something created the laws of physics

To be quite honest mate, the fact that the old and new testament exist is the proof that the word of god is not perfect, if it's not perfect it means he's not omniscient, which means he's not omnipotent which in turn removes 2 of the 3 elements that makes a god.

A God does not have to be the God. It's entirely possible that the being that created us has an entirely different way of going about things, simply wanting us to try our hardest instead of this purity crap. It's also entirely possible that he would want us to kill all those who disavow his name. I believe that a God would not want to interfere with the real world in any way other than possibly private exchanges with near death mortals and granting devil tier deals. God could be a multitude of things, there could be a multitude of Gods, we simply aren't sure and there's nothing I can find that outright proves any opinion here

Natural selection.
I just see God as the universe and the universe as God. We are the universe experiencing itself. Afterall, "God created man in his image"

>>36552561
But why would those limitations exist in the first place? Why would limitations in general exist in the first place?

Things don't exist because of the laws of physics things exist because they exist, things follow the laws of physics. even if god is real why dwell on it, don't you know that BO Burnam song. its not like your going to heaven so why does it matter to worship a god that hasn't done anything for you. also the laws of physics didn't create themselves they are the patterns that happen in the world that we have observed that we believe must happen in our reality.

if it's a perfect being, why can't it defy the laws of physics and logic?

>A God does not have to be the God.

rly makes me think, then if a god doesn't need to be a god it doesn't have to be a sentient entity either, the universe is our god and we were "created" out of a lucky chain of event billions of years into the birth of the universe.

Atheists are the dumbest people by far, they refuse to change their stance on literally anything which is quite ironic desu. I once showed my atheist "friend" undeniable proof that the earth was in face flat and he just acted like I was some kind of idiot. I'm honestly bewildered that these people can even exist with themselves. Also, there's literally no reason to be atheist at all because if you're right(you're not) then you get nothing out of it, if you're wrong(you are) you will burn in hell for all eternity as the worthless subhuman you are. I was once with this chick who said she didn't believe in God so I asked her why that was. She then sperged out going all "LOL DO YOU BELIEVE UNICORNS TOO" and ignored every argument I had literally refusing to listen to me. I can assure you I dropped her right there and then, ain't got time for that shit. Another time one of my friends came out as "gay" so I beat his as so hard he'd never deny the word of God ever again. #Noregrets.

If you're an atheist then you should either a) convert to a superior christian lifestyle or b) stop breathing the air(or "oxygen" as atheist say) God made for him and his believers. You say you don't believe in anything but regularly practice devil worship with your gay talk and bible defilement. One day on your deathbed you'll see the light flashing before you and realize how wrong you were,but by that point it will be too late.

Anyway for everyone out there still following God's word, bless you and have a good day. You're the real heroes out there. For everyone else, good luck in the afterlife!

I still don't get it, does the new testament nullify the old testament? Because the old testament said that if the bible was edited in any way or form, that that person would be removed from the book of creation. It's an interesting sort of paradox in which one side is lying.
>>

God is just a metaphor for things we don't understand. Notice theists usually defend their beliefs by saying there are too many things we can't explain for God not to exist. Never That something we understand points to God.

Not necessarily. God made the laws of physics consistent meaning people will suffer and die. If it all leads to something better though it would be worth it in the grand scheme. You literally can't believe God cares about everyone though since the laws of physics are consistent and cause people to die and suffer all the time.

just go and replicate the experiments that proved the theory behind the equation right.

how is your answer stronger than the experimentation of the already coded laws of physics?

>>36552912
Why would God make you burn in hell if you don't believe in him and then put millions of people on Earth who have never even heard of him or grew up worshipping animal spirits or the moon or some shit? Why would he make a thousand different religions and have people born into positions where they have no choice but to believe it because it's always presented as fact with no alternative? I can see the whole being a good person thing as being neccesary to not burn in hell, but belief in a certain set of criteria about God is just silly.

>We don't know a god exists so humans don't know shit
Kill yourself, honestly
>>
>>36553279
But what about the times where the result veers off from a consistent pattern. Doesn't that mean a mistake was made somewhere in the equation that was validated rendering the possibility of flaw due to human error? Considering many branches of science are constantly being revised to support new information and evidence, isn't the reliability of science almost as flimsy as the bible. One relies on physical senses, and the other relies on instruction, recounts, and symbolism.
>>
>>36553327
They count as evidence solely because they are said to be the word of God, thought since we can't prove that they are the word of God, it's a bit of a stalemate in terms of authenticity.

People suffer and die every day and have done so since the start of recorded history and all the data we have gathered about the laws of physics show they are consistent, that's why we call them laws. What about this is confusing to you?

>Doesn't that mean a mistake was made somewhere in the equation that was validated rendering the possibility of flaw due to human error?
or there was a mistake in that single run of the experiment, which is more likely.

no, because it can be tested and improved

The lack of absolution and the reliance on certain axioms as a foundation of science makes it as questionable as the bible in terms of reliability. Your relying on a theory you consider static so you have a basis for the expansion of your knowledge. The bible on the other hand as a whole uses a collection of written passages as an axiom for morality and purpose.

>science not only relies on physical senses but also on abstraction and information
Abstraction can be applied to biblical law for starters. And physical senses are focal points for gathering all of the information we think we have.
>>
>>36553625
You're gonna have to demonstrate your Biblical law is from a god by demonstrating that your god exists and not just any other god. Are you retarded? I think you are
>>
>>36553625
>makes it as questionable as the bible in terms of reliability
it doesn't because it can be tested and the results of experiments repeated indefinetly while you can't replicate anything about the biblical affirmations about the existence of god
>>
>>36553537
>i am talking about known theorems and not the general science.
Once again, relies on axioms as well as the bible. The only difference is that one is (supposedly) static while the other is fluid.

>>36553692
So because you see x happen and x happens x number of times, it's true while the bible is a lie because (supposedly) you cannot confirm anything from the bible?
>>
>>36553772
>So because you see x happen and x happens x number of times, it's true while the bible is a lie because (supposedly) you cannot confirm anything from the bible?
it's not absolutely true as well the bible is not absolutely a lie
the thing is, science is more reliable because it can be tested and expanded upon on all its ranges indefinetly
>>
>>36553772
theorems are proven as static, yet nothing from the bible can be recreated at will.
all old theorems can still be used accurately, but there are new discoveries that can make sure that we don't memorize needless shit when things can be done with one equation, or a simpler one.
>>

Why do Christians think atheists / non religious people hate the idea of a god? Personally, i'm 100% okay with the concept it's just that I haven't seen any evidence that shows one might exist. You can't claim you have a strong point if all your evidence is "well x doesn't make sense therefore god".
>>
>>36553847
No one says it's impossible, stop misrepresenting the argument. The point is it's improbable
>>
>>36553847
maybe the bible is all true and the final frontier of science will prove it all right
but we have no reason to believe in that right now
while religion demands you a leap of faith
science looks for the truth step by step and it's appliable in the physical world

>science is more reliable because it can be tested and expanded upon on all its ranges indefinitely.

I can respect that statement, although are we still arguing over atheism and religion?

>>36553844
From what I understand, God interacts with us through our connections and communications in our daily lives. It's more or less based on interpretation. X happens outside bounds of decided logic so act of God or, x happened because of y.

>>36553911
If anything, i'd support the unification of religion and science. They're like 2 incomplete puzzle pieces that together would work really well together in unlocking the contents of reality.

There are random fictional stories that were written and added to the bible, they are certainly not true. Just because most passages are too old to be entirely confirmed to be fake doesn't mean that there is a shred of potential for any of it to be true.

I'm not talking about interpretations of fucking events, I'm talking about creating events that CAN'T BE mistaken.
>>
>>36553979
One is about morality and purpose, the other is about the inner workings of the world around us? What's wrong with that? I get that corruption and bias could be a problem but you'll have that whether they're unified or separated.

>>36553971
I don't think you understand how proof works

>>36554000
But things can always be mistaken. Unless everything was viewed from one lens, most people will have a different interpretation of the events that transpired. You can claim we all saw it the same way if you want, but if you factor in background, knowledge, and environment, your going to get a plethora of answers.

He's trying to 'make fun' of people who say:

>>36554066
>Things can always be mistaken
Apparently god can do anything, that means he can create an event that can't be mistaken as anything other than a god interfering with reality, your own fucking definition of a god should 'prove' that
>>
>>36554128
If anything is possible, that also means the opposite is possible as well. Look up the principle of explosion if you don't get it. It basically says that a statement and it's contradiction can be true.
>>
>>36554187
I'm not the one saying anything is possible. You're the one saying this with your definition of a god
>>
>>36554226
Doesn't the previous statement prove what i'm saying then?
>>
>>36554018
There's no such thing as scientific bias just misinformation.
>>
>>36554281
So are you saying that there are no biases in the science community concerning the flow, publication, and validation of information? Or are you saying that an experiment in itself cannot produce results with any sort of bias?
>>
>>36554265
All your statement proves is that a god can't do anything
>>
>>36554320
How so? How does that prove that god can't do anything?
>>
>>36554341
>But things can always be mistaken
Means that a god can't create an event that can't be mistaken as anything other than a god interfering in reality
>>
fuck if i know what MADE them exist but it doesn't boil down to why it exists it boils down to whether we KNOW they exist.
>>
>>36554341
I hope you know your explosion theory non-sense also argues that other gods other than yours exists
>>
>>36554318
Facts have no bias people can interpret them differently with their own bias however
>>
>>36554393
It's the variance in human background that can cause mistakes concerning the interpretation of an event. How could God not create that?

>>36554427
Do other versions of the same God count as other Gods? Because the multiverse theory would support that possibility.
>>
>>36554488
A fact is a statement that is considered credible. There could very well be subtle bias hidden within a factual statement even if it is interpreted differently whether it's actually there or not.

its the extremist that shoves their religion up your ass and fedora """atheist""" debating wherever the word "god" is with their muh science, which right now is still not perfect.

Before Newton the concept of gravity wasn't found yet, and you all jump to conclusion that something simply does'nt exist because muh science.

We're still progressing so stop with this nonsense debate

>It's the variance in human background that can cause mistakes concerning the interpretation of an event. How could God not create that?
So you're basically saying he can't create an event that isn't mistaken as anything other than a god interfering with reality? You're basically saying your god can't do anything.

>Do other versions of the same God count as other Gods? Because the multiverse theory would support that possibility
Oh, really? How does it correlate?

No one knows how the laws of physics came to be, but they do follow strict logic, and logic must precede everything, including a god.

Asking "why" anything exists is begging the question... "Why" in that context assumes a conscious intent where they may not be one.

For all we know, we're a part of an infinite regress of causal origins, or perhaps existence at some fundamental, yet undiscovered level, is eternal. In either case, reality has no beginning or "purpose", it simply "is".

I've yet to hear a cogent argument in favor of the existence of god.

No one argues science is perfect, anon. They argue that it's far superior to religion in discerning concrete objectivity, and they're right.

I'm not saying that he can't at all, i'm saying that the event God would have to create under those circumstances would have to be interpreted the same under all current environmental or circumstantial possibilities.

said, the explosion theory would argue that other god's outside of "God" would exist and i'm saying that there is indeed a possibility of that although that depends on what you interpret as "other" gods.

Religion and Science take 2 different approaches to explaining the world as we know it. To describe one as better because it describes things more directly and distinctly than the other approach that describes things in a more moral and humanistic perspective is like calling a red pepper better than a green pepper. They're similar, but are sill different.

They sure fuckin do. One uses critical thought, empiricism and peer review in its assertions. The other relies on anecdotal evidence, unfalsifiable personal experience, and blind faith...

Trying to defend religion because of its moral statements is absurd. It disregards the fact that you can make moral statements just as well (if not better) WITHOUT attaching unfalsifiable supernatural claims to them.

Religion co-opts and hides behind morality when its claims about concrete objectivity are questioned. Everything about it is dishonest garbage.

If there was a god, how would there be any circumstantial possibilities unless he allows for it to happen?

Other Gods that people believe in along with whatever their afterlife claims are

He's saying that the radicals of the religious side force religion on you while the nerdy aspies of the atheist side debate anywhere there is a mention of god with science which is not perfect.

He also goes on to say that before the concept of gravity was found by newton, we all still jumped to conclusions on the basis of science and deny that which we cannot prove.

And he ends it with, as life goes on, we are still making discoveries and growing as a species so he is asking us to stop this debate which we wage in a vain attempt to cast superiority over the other on the basis of ideology.

So you're saying revelation is perfect? You're saying religious experiences are perfect?

Empiricism is based on faith. All the talk of evidence and peer review is just an attempt to muddy the numerous gaps that need to be bridged with faith. Not that there's anything wrong with faith.

>you can make moral statements just as well (if not better) WITHOUT attaching unfalsifiable supernatural claims to them
Then do so you fucking idiot. inb4 sam harris argument that favors torturing one person for 100 years over a million people getting sand in their eyes

Found the religitard. This statement was asinine. No credible scientist makes any claims about anything they don't know about. For example, any serious physicist, when asked what came before the big bang, or how it started, will say "we don't know".

You probably heard everything you think you know about the scientific method from some preacher.

>Then do so you fucking idiot.

We have, you fucking idiot. Go ahead and look up the Code of Hammurabi for a great example. If you honestly think moral theory is exclusive or original to ANY religion, you're an ignorant ass burger. All of our best moral theory is secular.

Also, your Sam Harris straw man is adorable.
Go educate yourself.
