god must be atheist

It can show any time. The important thing is that it shows intervals of time. You are forcing a question that can only be answered with a numerical va...

Thanks for the suggestion, @"FDrake". My experience with (some) of these sites is that they have a prerequisite before even considering any paper, and...

I covered this point some time ago in this thread. It is really frustrating that: 1. People don't read threads that are important. 2. People forget wh...

We simply don't know how the brain works, and our measuring techniques are not much help either. MR is a theory based on unknowability. I reject that....

The topic assumes that god exists. It does not claim god exists; but proposes to deal with the topic in light of assuming that god exists. It is a giv...

Oh, shucks. Why is @"BBQueue" and @"PfHorrest" always god? Why can't I be god once in a while? Not fair. (Sucks his thumb in a defiant way.) :-)

I also have papers that have my own ideas, and I would really like to hear others' criticism of it and to defend it. But how do I get over the anonymi...

I tell you why I wouldn't start it, and mine is a unique case, but perhaps it is becoming less and less unique. I can't read. Period. My focus, not th...

I don't think god's existence or lack of existence should or could be decided with a feeling. It is impossible to decide whether god exists or not. Th...

Something that exists forever, has no start for its existence, yet it exists forever. I don't see the difficulty that Aquinas raises is valid.

This point is false. Something can exist since all eternity, and can exist into infinite future. There is no logical or other limitation that prevents...

I absolutely agree with you here. I am claiming that my interpretation is right, and everyone else's who believes in eternal suffering in hellfire is ...

the action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists the action or process of killing or being killed These two defin...

Wow. Death lasts forever. The process is called dying, not death. Look it up in any dictionary. Death comes after dying. Death lasts forever. Dying la...

My interpretation is this: the destruction will be everlasting. Carthago was destroyed. Its desctruction has been (for all intents and purposes) everl...

I, for one, believe that yes, you're wrong in assuming this.

Eternal punishment is death. The Bible says that many times. Even the quote by Matthew here juxtaposes "eternal punishment" not with "eternal joy" or ...

I read all quotes supplied on the website that was linked to your link, @"Devans99". Not one of the quotes said anything at all of staying in hell for...

No, Devans99, the bible versions you and I read are not widely different. We just read them differently. Your quote does not claim any length of time ...

This has been proven in practice, Isaac. If you weed out all the Shtuppoids, then the site comes to a grinding halt insofar as dynamic exchanges (howe...

I have never looked this up, but where in the Christian bible is it said that god is infinitely good and infinitely powerful? Are these two claims not...

This would stand, if the Bible of the Christians specifically said that sinners go to Hell for eternal damnation of eternal suffering. But the Bible d...

Hi, there, @"Chromechrist"! No, you are not rude or offensive. You put up a good argument, and the beauty of your feistiness is that your arguments ar...

Sorry. You asked me to retract my words, @"Tim Wood", but my first post referred to the OP which had been written by @"Waechter418". Still, I kept ref...

I have a better idea. Why don't I sit in ashes, tear my hair and rent my clothes, and fast for seven days for the sins I've committed on this forum. B...

Early in the nineteenth century, a Hungarian playwright wrote a masterpiece, not translated into English, due to its language being in iambic meters, ...

You said it: time is measured by the movement of objects. But time is not generated by the movement of objects. Therefore if no movement occurs, time ...

It's not discussions that I'd propose to moderate. I'll send you a file that shows how the deterioration of the site could be prevented, by a specific...

Yes, I agree with you, @"fdrake".

I must say that my criticism above here does not apply to all questions that had been chosen to present to Dr. Pigliucci. For instance, I especially l...

I read some of the questions, including mine, and they seemed to be of the type that answered themselves, and then asked the Professor if he agrees. M...

Bit of a long convolution, but it makes sense. However, please consider that it is reasonable to believe in a supernatural god. Not practical, and not...

I reiterate, in case you missed it: my disagreement is immaterial. It is the logic that denies agreement with the notion that we progress from simple ...

Because the law makers are sadistic and deny people pleasure just because people enjoy pleasure? Yeah, that's sensible, just look at the tax returns. ...

It is possible, but this is not the only possibility why, and atheists are adamant on the alternative explanation being more believable.

Some atheists believe that morality is a natural phenomenon in humans, because it helped the species' survival. Therefore the entire argument can be i...

Whether I removed myself from the converstation or not, the logic I presented stayed here. I am not material or important to the conversation; my idea...

A better unanswerable question, at least I think so, is to ask, what prompted god to create the world WHEN he created it? obviously there were changes...

There is another argument that shows that time existed before the big bang. Assuming that there was no change and no movement before the big bang prov...

You can agree with this if and only if you can create a reliable and true measure of complexity. Until then, we can't agree. Arbitrary or quasi-arbitr...

Because the original post or one of the first posts claimed that humans have not created anything more complex than humans themselves. This was one of...

It is a different matter that free will is an illusion if you believe in determinism (that is, if you believe that every change and event is caused, a...

According to Christian dogma, god gave free will to each person at the moment they are created. Thus, the onus or responsibility to behave morally res...

People everywhere enjoy believing things that they know are not true. It spares them the ordeal of thinking for themselves and taking responsibility f...

That's precisely my point. Nobody has such a measurement. Therefore it is futile to talk about measure of complexity. Complexity is not a measurable q...

I, for one, really, but really support the idea of licencing reproduction. This means if I don't get a licence, I am in a position to go out and have ...

have you tried google? an impromptu search yielded the following results: Semi-periphery countries - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Semi-...

Please read the rest of my post. Responding to a small portion can make any response valid, but your response is not valid when you consider my whole ...

This you said in relation to how complex a system IS. How complex a given system IS, is a fixed state. It is stagnant, not dynamic. But you now say th...

Okay. So I understand water, and I understand light. Which is less complex? Your standard of measurement is "I believe I understand it" and "I don't u...
