Atheists: If there's no God, then where did the word "God" come from?

[FearGod]

Isn't your argument that babies don't "learn to suck their thumbs", but, instead, it is an inherent ability?

Exactly, but where's the teacher ?

 

[leibowde84]

Exactly, but where's the teacher ?

Maybe there is no need for a teacher. Most likely, it has to do with sensations that the baby is having when putting his thumb in his mouth, or something along those lines. Why do you think that a teacher would be necessary? Think of all the things you learned to do on your own throughout your life.

Such as learning how to erect the penis ?

The article says Healthy babies suck thumb in womb

So babies learnt how to suck while still in the womb.

It doesn't. You should read it.

And besides, making a sucking motion and knowing how to latch onto a nipple and suck to obtain milk aren't the same thing.

And knowing the need to swallow than throwing it away.

 

[SkepticThinker]

And knowing the need to swallow than throwing it away.

You said this, right?

"Did babies learn how to suck milk once they born due to experience"

You got your answer.

And babies don't "throw it away." If you've ever seen a baby nurse, they dribble the milk all over the place and usually fall asleep on a milk high.

Humans could neither create an atom nor a word both are work of God , in real sense.

P.S.
atom (n.)
late 15c., as a hypothetical indivisible body, the building block of the universe, from Latin atomus (especially in Lucretius) "indivisible particle," from Greekatomos "uncut, unhewn; indivisible," from a- "not" + tomos "a cutting," from temnein "to cut" (see tome). An ancient term of philosophical speculation (in Leucippus, Democritus), revived 1805 by British chemist John Dalton. In late classical and medieval use also a unit of time, 22,560 to the hour. Atom bomb is from 1945 as both a noun and a verb; compare atomic.

Science has borrowed it lately from language as it has no language of its own.

Not an atheist but this is just a silly argument. If dragons didn't exist then where did the word "Dragons" come from? I mean this could be applied to anything. I don't want to be rude or shame anyone but does this really seem like a viable argument from any worldview point?

That is obviously and vastly different, as that is not consciously controlled.

What do you think is a viable argument? Kindly give your own understanding of it. Please

Then, please explain why you have refused to answer her questions. If you don't want people coming up with their own theories about why you are refusing to answer, then answer the damn question.

Im sorry, that. Was funny. Carry on.

I had given the answers to the person who asked the question, and I have quoted the posts numbers. I agree it is funny.

"God" is what my ex wives used to call me during love making. I always thought the word cums from there.

If you were that "good.."
Why are they your ex wives?

 

[cambridge79]

Because he is so good he had to share that gift with more than a woman.....Or maybe he killed them who knows [emoji1]

That is certainly true but unlikely to be terribly effective when dealing with a fanatic as they tend to be impervious to any approaches, whether from the back, side or front.

@Willamena @paarsurrey

It's not about affect on others.

 

[Willamena]

I get it, you're saying "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." [/QUOTE Nope. It's not about him.

 

[Willamena]

A good question.
Regards

Could you explain the argument?

 

[gnostic]

Yep, the sciences and technology and engineering and mathematics have borrowed lots of words from Latin, and Greek, and even Arabic.

Even the word "Arabia" is a loan word from Latin...or was that Greek...I can't remember which.

Easy meat is hard to resist.

Could you explain the argument?

Not in particularly cogent terms.

Sex ain't everything.
