Here's Your Chance: Stump the Atheist!

Just kidding, there's nothing you could stump me with.

Silly little people.

Coke or Pepsi?

Ok, we get your point. Even though this math formula has been shown to be true for the first quintillion examples it is possible it may not always hold true and therefore we cannot establish it as a fact. Well if we approached life that way then we can be sure of nothing and therefore, what, don’t act on favorable probabilities?
Of course we do. Except when it comes to acknowledging God? Because there is a one in a million chance God does not exist, you are going to order your life on that chance? As though if you are wrong you can tell him later “if only I could have known for certain I would have acted differently?”

Ahem. I'm an atheist.

Besides, as for that, "if you are wrong you can tell him later “if only I could have known for certain I would have acted differently?” thing, well, if we have an all powerful God who wants me to believe and has the ability to give me what I need to believe, then he sure hasn't done a good job.

Such as, the probabilities that dumb luck or mindless “natural selection” could come up with eyeballs and hearing and engage in producing a spleen or a pancreas when once there was none. That is my take on probabilities.

You don't know how evolution actually works, do you?

If we forget traditional views of god, like the Abrahamic, for a moment...If we examine the deistic view of god, god is outside time and space. If said deity is outside time and space, we would not be able to disprove it's existence, matter of fact, it would actually be the most 'logical' form of god. However, said god would not have given laws and revelations, so it's all moot anyway. With that being said: if you have a train starting in New York travelling west at 60 mph, and another train starting in Philadelphia travelling east at 75 mph, how long does it take them to crash?

Of course, the instant such a god interferes in the real world in any way, it leaves itself open to detection. The only way for such a god to exist is for it to never interfere, and in that case, why believe?
