All the evidence suggests there is not a God.
Science has been building that case with the objective scientific method establishing empirical evidence for hundreds of years.
I don't get the point of this thread. There are explanations and theories for all of the things historically attributed...
Evolution isn't even a theory anymore. It's a straight up fact, proven over and over again in so many ways. So no, Hovind is not right on this topic. Even people in his camp don't agree with him.
I hope you don't mind if I am a little harsh with my criticisms of your posts, given your credentials. A less educated individual is entitled to make some logical errors, fallacy reasoning, etc., but if you are claiming to be educated to give weight to your arguments and character, I won't hold...
I don't believe you.
Even if English is your second language (which would explain the writing errors) I don't believe you are a lector, researcher, and author.
Wrong, the leader and his son are whorshiped as Gods in North Korea. Not the least bit athiest. And since we are here, neither was Hitler's Germany. I know theists love to incorrectly say Nazis were athiest
I can't think of a single thing for the first challenge. For the second, here are two big examples:
The genital mutilation community is entirely religious based.
Suicide bombers are almost entirely religious based.
I thought it was pretty obvious, but judging by the posts so far it is not.
It is much easier to think of a wicked thing said or act done because of faith than to name a good or moral thing said or done by a person of faith that could not be said or done by an atheist.
Name an ethical statement made or action performed by a person of faith that could not have been made or performed by a nonbeliever.
Name a wicked statement made or action performed precisely because of religious faith?
Well that's the big question, isn't it? The only question that matters. I'll answer for everyone right now.
Theists: no proof required
Atheists: yes, proof required
Compelling argument; care to elaborate?
By exist do you mean there was a guy names Jesus, the end? Or do you mean Jesus as described in the Bible is undisputed fact?
Just another way of saying "we won't be truly happy until everyone follows our religion". Don't be a pawn in the power struggle between incompatible religions.
Genesis starts off with complete nonsense about the creation of the earth and man, which can only be read as fiction. Then it gets to the part where God demands that baby boys have their foreskin cut off, and people took that literally?
Watch one Hitchens or Harris debate on YouTube and come back and say they are uneducated in religion.
The absence of a belief in God is not a belief system or a faith.
