Humans are part of nature. Everything humans do is God's will.21-09-2016 17:13 | |

Humans are created by God. If humans burn and release CO2 into the air, it is God's will. If humans pack CO2 into rockets and shoot them into space, it is God's will. It is God's will to restore CO2 back to 500 ppm. How can you argue with God?

If I kill you, it was God's will. Indisputable proof! |

The theological concept of evil is a bit more complicated than you make it out to be. This is the crucial Problem of Evil - if God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, then how does evil exist? He has to know of it, he has to be able to stop it, but he doesn't - doesn't that make him implicit in the evil that he allows to happen? Your argument would either make God an evil tyrant or get rid of the concept of morality, neither of which is acceptable to most people. Of course, around these parts, the biggest flaw in your argument is that it is religious. |

If I kill you, that's not God doing that. And besides, with no God, morality is defined only by people. It's subjective, and that's fine. |

For me, that's just a part of being an atheist - I'm atheist because I have no data or evidence for God, just like Russell's Teapot. |

How is the existence of order necessarily evidence of God? Order arises on its own. Mathematics is beautiful, I agree, but it is that way because it underlies reality. Pinecones follow the Fibonacci sequence - why wouldn't human brains see mathematics as natural and beautiful? They are both order that has "evolved" from disorder. |

Is that your admission that we are talking about your religion and not talking about any kind of science? Your words are not applicable to someone questioning science. They only reflect the feelings of someone who is personally hurt by their religion being attacked. You keep coming so close to just admitting that your religion is a religion, even to blaming me of "intolerance." Obviously "intolerance" does not apply to someone questioning/doubting some theory. It only applies when someone's personal faith is not coddled. Come on, just admit it. You'll feel better. Trust me. . I don't think i can [define it].

I... no! No, it is not a religion! Intolerance is the "unwillingness to accept views, beliefs, or behavior that differ from one's own." That includes ideological differences. |
