    Yes like the empty claims you make about your unproven magical Big Bang which you have been claiming is a fact and yet have failed to prove it. :D

    If theists would just believe in their deity/deities, there would be no "objective-subjective debate".
    But (some) theists can't accept that there are people who have different world views.
    And these theists insists that their own personal religious views should be the views of all.

    Apparently you are the one who can't accept that there are people out there like theist who do not share your athiestic beliefs. It obviously bothers you considering you spend at least 60% of your spare time on a religious forum trying to promote your beliefs as being better. Like I said before we don't need someone trying to convert us to their beliefs.. we are quite happy as theists and we would much appreciate it if you didn't waist your time with your humanistic propaganda.

    For me nobody has to prove anything - that being subject to theists accepting that there are people with different views, and to stopping their un-constitutional attempts to force their religious views on to non-theists.
    Niether have you proved your magical big bang. We are still waiting for proof that this so called big bang is the father of all life...

    This ridiculous comparison tactic & is severely flawed and ludicrous that you have to wonder about the sanity of the person using it. It basically lumps all paranormal phenomena in the same category as anything a skeptic like you makes up out of thin air. It is more of a belittling tactic than a reasoned argument.
    The premise behind this argument is that if a claim is unprovable, then it's in the same category as everything that is deliberately made up or fictionalized. However, not only is this false and a mere play on words, but it is a complete straw man argument because it falsely redefines the opposing position in terms that make it more easily attackable, using false comparisons.

    That analogy does not make any sense because there is nothing the existence an orbiting teapot have to show for anything. However the existence of God explains the existence of the universe and throughout history millions of honest, sane, intelligent people have experiences with God which resulted in life changing effects, but the same can't be said about your orbiting tea pot which makes your comparison invalid.

    And also just because something is unprovable does not automatically put it in the same category as everything else that is unprovable. For example, I can't prove what I ate last night for dinner or what I thought about. Without witnesses, I can't prove what I saw on TV or how high I scored in a video game either. But that doesn't mean that these things are in the same category as every story in the fiction section of the library.


    So pleas if you are going to have an intelligent debate about something, please make reasonable points instead of these invalid cheap and played out analogies. :rolleyes:

    More bull manure... I never stated that what is called the Big Bang is a fact. I stated that there is a lot of objective supporting evidence for the flash expansion that in popular terms is called "the Big Bang".
    This in stark contrast to the total lack of any objective supporting evidence for the religious creation claim.

    Why do you always try to twist everything and/or tamper with quotations by making false suggestions as to what was really stated? Perhaps because you can not support your own religious wild claims ?

    Maybe if you attended a science class that teaches about advanced scientific theories you would know why the big bang is presented as a theory. I'm not going to try to prove it to you because anything I say about it your either going to say I'm wrong or god did that way. Frankly I have decided that I created the world last Tuesday and created you all with memory of days before that simply to amuse myself. You can't prove me wrong so it must be true.

    As I have already said even with all the scientific proof in the world HOW does it DISPROVE God? Scientific proof does not mean God did not create it.

    It doesn't, you can't disprove something that doesn't exist. It's not possible. Especially things like gods. Who have no properties of matter. By their very nature gods are set up so that they can't be disproven because if you could disprove it almost no one would believe it. Even if you claim god did something like creating the universe, if we prove the big bang was the start of it all. All it means to religious people is that god used the big bang to create the universe and it doesn't disprove him at all.

    If 100% of the people who believed in religion were like most people who believe in religion, it wouldn't be that big a deal. The problem is the people on the edge. The people who halt progress in the name of religion. The people who insist I live my life according to their religion. The people who would do harm because of their religion. The people who knock on my door at 8o'clock on a Saturday morning and insist on telling me about their religion and don't go away when I don't answer the door after 10 minutes of them knocking and ringing the bell. If some of the people who believe in Santa Clause and unicorns used their believe to justify these crimes, I wouldn't like them either.

    Exactly.

    That's true, for me science just proves to me that the natural world is created in such a way that I cannot deny the existence of a Creator.

    And the thing is that individuals cannot go out on their own to research the organisms/systems in nature to strengthen their beliefs in a Creator,we need the people who do such research in order for us to understand better the works of the Almighty.

    Not to divert away from the main point,but was there something in history that actually made believers deny science or for science to deny the possibility of a Creator?

    I cannot understand the need to deny one to believe in the other.
